Patrick Moore: Why I Am A Climate Change Skeptic
Confessions of a Greenpeace co-founder. I am skeptical humans are the main cause of climate change and that it will be catastrophic in the near future. There is no scientific proof of this hypothesis, yet we are told “the debate is over” and “the science is settled.” My skepticism begins with the believers’ certainty they can predict the global ...

Why Government Doesn't Like Individual Property Rights
by Laura Lundquist. Government serves agencies, not people. More than two dozen Republican legislators are cosponsoring a bill intended to strengthen private property rights by prohibiting state agencies from taking any action that might affect a person’s enjoyment of their property. But several agencies and attorneys say that could have negative ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Global Warming
A most anti-science idea. "But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact," said President Barack Obama in his 2014 State of the Union address. Saying the debate is settled is nonsense, but the president is right about climate change. GlobalChange.gov gives the definition of climate change: "Changes in average weather conditions that persist over ... MORE
Global Warming Protest Postponed Due To Cold Weather
by Michael Bastach. A propaganda fail at Yale. Yale anti-fossil fuel campaigners have indefinitely postponed a
protest that was set for this weekend due to “unfavorable weather
conditions and other logistical issues.” Fossil Free Yale, a group pushing the university to divest itself from fossil fuels, told the Yale Daily News that frigid, snowy ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Stormy Weather And Politics
The political utility of dire predictions. It was refreshing to see meteorologists apologize for their dire — and wrong — predictions of an unprecedented snow storm that they had said would devastate the northeast. It was a big storm, but the northeast has seen lots of big snow storms before and will probably see lots of big snow storms ... MORE

John Stossel: Climate Catastrophe
The real world effects of fossil fuel. People argue about whether the "consensus" of scientists is that we face disaster because of global warming. Instead of debating whether man's greenhouse gasses will raise temperatures, we should argue about how we gauge disasters. If you take most environmentalists and climate scientists at their word, ...

Wind Turbines are 'Expensive, Unreliable and Inefficient'

Wind power is too variable and too unpredictable to provide a serious alternative to fossil fuels, a new study by the Scientific Alliance and the Adam Smith Institute has confirmed. The researchers concluded that, although it is true that the wind is always blowing ... MORE
Fay Voshell: The Unabombers At The EPA
The dangerous true believers. Students of recent history will remember Ted Kaczynski as the man who is responsible for three murders and sixteen bombings over a period of eighteen years. These actions were fully excusable from Kaczynski's point of view. As he dispassionately puts it, “In order to get our message before the public with some ... MORE
No Nukes, No Fracking, No GMOs, And No Capitalism
by Ronald Bailey. No brains on display at the People's Climate March. The People's Climate March ambled
genially down 6th Avenue in New York City Sunday afternoon.
The March's slogan was "To Change Everything, We Need Everyone."
Not everyone showed up, but the March did attract between
300,000 and 400,000 participants, making it by far the ... MORE

Wall Street Journal: Climate Science Is Not Settled
by Steven E. Koonin. But government proceeds as though it is. The idea that "Climate science is settled" runs through today's popular and policy discussions. Unfortunately, that claim is misguided. It has not only distorted our public and policy debates on issues related to energy, greenhouse-gas emissions and the environment. But it also has ... MORE

Leo Vs. Science: Vanishing Evidence For Climate Change
The incandescent ignorance of a Hollywood star. In the runup to the Sept. 23 UN Climate Summit in New York, Leonardo DiCaprio is releasing a series of films about the “climate crisis.” The first is “Carbon,” which tells us the world is threatened by a “carbon monster.” Coal, oil, natural gas and other carbon-based forms of energy are causing ...

Emails: EPA Rules Part Of The Progressive Agenda
Mice trying to become rats through body building. Emails between top Environmental Protection Agency officials reveal
they saw their fight against global warming as putting them at
