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

Matt Stevens: The Unintended Consequences Of Conserving Water: More Leaky Pipes, Less Revenue, Lots Of Bad Odors
A corrosive policy in more ways than one. Under orders to slash water use amid a historic drought, cities and towns across the state saved about 75 billion gallons in July, eclipsing Gov. Jerry Brown's once-daunting order for a 25% reduction. But, in a paradox of conservation, water agencies say the unprecedented savings — 31% in July over July ... MORE

A. Barton Hinkle: Bipartisan Hypocrisy on Free Speech

The polluted streams that dump fertilizer into the water supply. Even the cemetery that disappeared like an apparition into a cornfield. It wasn't ... MORE
Barry Farber: Why They're After The Brilliant Ted Cruz

Walter E Williams - Understanding Economics
Here's a question: If there's a disaster, a war, a severe drought or
some other calamity that restricts future supplies of a commodity — such
as oil, coffee or corn — what is the intelligent thing for people to do
right away? If you said "use less now and try to produce more," you'd
