Jeremiah the Bullfrog for President

April 26th, 2011

By Dan Miller In the grand march for human rights at the United Nations, the edicts of which trump our silly old Constitution, the regrettably backwards United States must cease her foot dragging. The Human Rights Council leads the way, although with little leadership from the socially regressive United States. The march to recognize the [...]

Why I’m a Global Warming Skeptic (and You Should Be)

March 11th, 2011

By Seth Forman I live in a wonderful suburban community on Long Island. My three children attend the excellent public schools in our district. As the two oldest children have made their way through middle school, though, I’ve been bothered by the rather flimsy instruction they’ve received on the subject of “global warming.” Despite widespread [...]

Al Gore and the Masseuse

June 30th, 2010

By Tom Carter Most folks know by now that Al Gore got a massage in a trendy hotel in Portland, Oregon back in 2006. Nobody cares, except that the masseuse has reported that globally-warmed Al got pretty randy with her. Back when she first complained, she declined to be interviewed by police, and they dropped [...]

ClimateGate Fallout

April 6th, 2010

By Tom Carter Der Spiegel has published a long, fascinating article examining the fallout from ClimateGate and how both scientists and politicians are dealing with it. It’s better and more balanced than anything I’ve seen in the U.S. media, and it’s well worth the time required to read it. The article makes it clear that [...]

Weather Is Not Climate

February 14th, 2010

By Tom Carter One doesn’t have to be a global warmist or a denier to understand that the hard winter being experienced, with record snowfalls in much of the U.S., means very little in terms of global warming. In fact, the argument can be made that warming results in more moisture in the air, causing [...]

Not Melting After All

January 26th, 2010

By Brianna Aubin In 2007, the International Panel on Climate Change issued a dire warning that the Himalayan glaciers will have disappeared by the year 2035 due to the scourge of global warming. This assertion worked wonderfully to fuel the climate change activists into thinking that everybody needed to chip in to “Please help the world” [...]

What It’s Really All About

December 21st, 2009

By Brianna Aubin “The talks at Copenhagen are not just about climate change. They represent a battle to redefine humanity.” So says George Monbiot. And he is absolutely right. This is probably a little late to be reporting on Copenhagen or Mr. Monbiot’s blog entry, but the delineation of ideas in the article are so [...]

Al Gore and Truth

December 10th, 2009

By Tom Carter Two days ago Slate.com published an interview with Al Gore by John Dickerson. The interview was part of a publicity tour in which Gore is flogging his new book, Our Choice. In addition to Gore’s standard preaching on climate, he addressed the so-called ClimateGate e-mails scandal. This is the first reaction I’ve seen from [...]

ClimateGate Revisited

December 4th, 2009

By Brianna Aubin Is it just me, or is there a significant portion of our world trying to pretend that this issue doesn’t even exist? Obama is heading off to Copenhagen soon with grand US emission targets; when reporters asked questions about the scandal, his scientists insisted that global warming was a proven fact and [...]

ClimateGate

November 28th, 2009

By Brianna Aubin Last weekend, an anonymous hacker (or possibly whistle-blower) released nearly 160 MB of emails exchanged between some of the most prominent US and European scientists in the climate change debate. The results aren’t getting quite the degree of media attention they deserve, especially in light of the upcoming Copenhagen meeting, but after [...]

Charles Krauthammer, the Pulitzer Prize-winning political columnist and conservative commentator was interviewed by Der Spiegel on a variety of political topics — the interview was published yesterday.

The Fallacy of Global Warming

October 27th, 2009

Now comes a man of letters on the fallacy of global warming, Lord Christopher Monckton. He recently addressed the Minnesota Free Market Institute regarding the scam being perpetrated upon us by the global warming crowd. Here’s a link to the speech he gave. It is an hour and a half long, but it is well [...]

The Senator from Looney Tunes

August 13th, 2009

Good grief! Now this from Henry Payne’s Sketchbook in The Detroit News: Michigan just experienced its coldest July on record; global temperatures haven’t risen in more than a decade; Great Lakes water levels have resumed their 30-year cyclical rise (contrary to a decade of media scare stories that they were drying up due to global warming), and [...]

Global Warming McCarthyism

July 16th, 2009

From Al Gore and Friends Create Climate of McCarthyism by Bjorn Lomborg: Discussions about global warming are marked by an increasing desire to stamp out “impure” thinking, to the point of questioning the value of democratic debate. But shutting down discussion simply means the disappearance of reason from public policy. In March, Al Gore’s science adviser [...]

Global Warming Kerfuffle

June 30th, 2009

This from a Fox News report: A top Republican senator has ordered an investigation into the Environmental Protection Agency’s alleged suppression of a report that questioned the science behind global warming.

Global Climate Change

May 14th, 2009

It seems I may have been a bit premature in agreeing with a respondent to my previous assertions regarding global warming. The one and only purpose of developing scientific theories, and then subsequently vetting them, is to use them as predictive tools. As I said about a month ago, the models we are using fail [...]

The Cap-and-Trade Tax

March 7th, 2009

Democrats continue to dither over secondary issues while the economy goes from bad to worse and Americans suffer. Peggy Noonan, in a column about an honest, forthright Marine Corps investigation of an aircraft accident, contrasts that with the behavior of politicians in Washington: The White House this week was consumed by extreme interest in a celebrated [...]
