by Charles Krauthammer. Last week, Barack Obama gained the second jewel in his foreign policy triple crown: the Paris climate accord. It follows his Iran nuclear deal and awaits but the closing of Guantanamo to complete his glittering legacy. To be sure, Obama will not be submitting the climate agreement for Senate ratification. It would have no ... MORE

Paris Agreement: Another False ‘Turning Point’ On Climate
by George Will. History, on the “right side” of which Barack Obama endeavors to keep us, has a sense of whimsy. Proof of which is something happening this week: Britain’s last deep-pit coal mine is closing, a small event pertinent to an enormous event, the Industrial Revolution, which was ignited by British coal. The mine closure should not, ... MORE

California Climate Policies Chilling Housing Growth
by Steven Greenhut. The California Supreme Court's decision
late last month to reject a nearly 6,000-page environmental report for a
proposed development north of Los Angeles will not only delay or

difficult for developers anywhere in California to build large-scale
housing projects. ... MORE

Absence Of Capitalism Is Environment's Worst Nightmare
by Kerry Jackson. The solutions to global warming — in fact, to all environmental problems, real and perceived — are always antithetical to capitalism. To many who thrill to the global warming scare, capitalism is the cause of climate change. But those who think they would like the environment better without capitalism should try exactly that. ...

S. Fred Singer: The Burden Of Proof On Climate Change
Making America pay. The burden of proof for Anthropogenic Climate Change falls on alarmists. Climate Change (CC) has been ongoing for millions of years – long before humans existed on this planet.

Great News! Americans Don’t Care About Climate Change
by David Harsanyi. Sanity returns. There is a preventable calamity out there, purportedly the root
cause of nearly all wars, refugee crises, sickness, misogyny, terrorism,
hunger, poverty, and everything else troubling mankind these days. The

Andrew Follett: Obama Policies Exacerbate Wildfires
It is not global warming. Scientists and lawmakers are placing the blame for recent wildfires on President Barack Obama’s policies, not global warming. “Our nation’s forests are sick and flammable, but they don’t have to be. Proper management would increase their resilience to wildfires.” said Julia Slingsby, Press Secretary of the House ... MORE

Congress would be ... MORE
How Climate Change Activism Harms Third World Countries
by Shikha Dalmia. To avert a tragedy, they'll cause one. You wouldn't know it from the happy spin emanating from the Oval Office, but a Third World revolt in Bonn, Germany, this week almost derailed the Paris climate change negotiations in November. Although peace has been restored for now, it only happened by papering over this ... MORE

Bjørn Lomborg: Blowing It On The Wind
The hot air surrounding wind power. When
considering climate change, most people think wind turbines and solar
panels are a big part of the solution. But, over the next 25 years, the
contribution of solar and wind power to resolving the problem will be
trivial – and the cost will be enormous. The International Energy Agency estimates
that ... MORE
