If You Liked ObamaCare, You'll Love ClimateCare
by Ronald Bailey. As Barack Obama’s signature health insurance program implodes,
some observers are
speculating that regulatory action on climate change could
afford the beleaguered president a second chance at establishing an
enduring policy legacy. Unfortunately, Obama’s climate policies,
like his health care policies, highlight his ... MOREChris Rossini: Why The State Likes To Frighten You
When the public shudders, government grows. Many libertarians and Austrian economists consistently preach that the battle we are engaged in is a battle of ideas. Education is paramount. In other words, those who subscribe to this point of view believe strongly in winning the long-game. He who wins the long-game, wins. ... MOREUN Climate Change Report Guilty Of False Forecast
from Investor's Business Daily. The United Nations on Friday released its climate change report, which says that scientists are 95% sure that man is causing Earth to warm. Well, we're 100% sure this finding deserves a heaping dose of ridicule. 'It is extremely likely (95% confidence)," says the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on ... MORELarry Bell: What The Global Warming Hysteria Ignores
What about 17 years of flat global temperatures? The New York Times feverishly reported on August 10 that the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is about to issue another scary climate report. Dismissing the recent 17 years or so of flat global temperatures, the IPCC will assert that: “It is extremely ... MOREJohn Stossel: Climate Change Myths
#1. Government is competent to fix the problem. Global average temperature has been flat for a decade. But frightening myths about global warming continue. We're told there are more hurricanes now. We're told that
hurricanes are stronger. But the National Hurricane Center says it
isn't so. Meteorologist Maria Molina told me it's not ... MORERonald Bailey: The Social Cost Of Carbon
Garbage In, Garbage Out. Economists, regulators, and activists all try to calculate the
social cost of carbon—that is, the economic and ecological damage
caused each time we add a ton of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere
by burning fossil fuels. If we know how much harm each additional
ton of carbon dioxide causes, the thinking goes, ... MORE
Climate Depot: A Very Inconvenient Truth For Warmers
1,122 Record Cold Temps in the U.S. in one week!
Forecast shows new lows for much of north and west will likely continue. Where’s that global warming when we need it? ... MORE
Ronald Bailey: Obama's Five-Year Climate Plan
Central planning as a global warming solution. The central planners in communist governments were notorious for issuing massively detailed top-down five-year plans to manage every facet of their economies. The accumulating inefficiency and waste produced by this sort of rigid planning led eventually to the demise of those ... MORESenator Uses Oklahoma Tornado To Pimp Her Carbon Tax
by Michael Bastasch. California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer blamed the tornado that devastated Oklahoma on global warming during a Senate floor speech Tuesday, using the opportunity to push her own plan to tax carbon dioxide emissions. “This is climate change,” Boxer said. “This is climate change. We were warned about extreme ... MOREDavid Deming: The Real Deniers Of Climate Change
A political ideology masked as science. The Northern Hemisphere is experiencing unusually cold weather. Snow cover last December was the greatest since satellite monitoring began in 1966. The United Kingdom had the coldest March weather in 50 years, and there were more than a thousand record low temperatures in the ... MOREGlobal Warming: Was It Just A Beautiful Dream After All?
by Harry Binswanger. Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City. But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when ... MORERich Lowry: The New Climate Deniers
Climate change has become an obsession for some. There are few things sadder than the “climate denier.” He ignores the data and neglects the latest science. His rhetoric and policy proposals are dangerously disconnected from reality. He can’t recalibrate to take account of the latest evidence because, well, he’s a denier. The new climate deniers ... MOREJonathon Moseley: Global Warming? Oops! Never Mind!
What was the Earth's temperature yesterday? Nobody knows. In fact, it's a ridiculous question. Almost every place on Earth today has a different temperature from that of any other location. So, is our planet's temperature rising? Do we even know? However, it is officially admitted: Global warming stopped 15-20 years ago. The mainstream media ... MOREMatt Ridley On How Fossil Fuels Are Greening The Planet
An inconvenient truth the media ignores. Matt Ridley,
author of The Red Queen, Genome, The Rational
Optimist and other books, dropped by Reason's studio in Los
Angeles last month to talk about a curious global trend that is
just starting to receive attention. Over the past three decades,
our planet has gotten greener! Even stranger, the ... MOREObama Promises A Big Push On Climate Change
by Ronald Bailey. Yesterday, President Barack Obama devoted the biggest single
section of his second inaugural address to the problem of climate
change. He has clearly decided to make confronting climate change a
central objective of his second term. In his
second inaugural address the president declared, “We will
respond to the threat of climate ... MOREPatrick J. Michaels: Global Warming Apocalypse Cancelled
Inconvenient truth: no 21st century rise in temperature. My greener friends are increasingly troubled by the lack of a rise in recent global surface temperatures. Using monthly data measured as the departure from long-term averages, there’s been no significant warming trend since the fall of 1996. In other words, we are now in our 17th ... MORE
