Environmentalists Spoil The Planet For Human Beings
by Michael J. Hurd. From the HuffingtonPost.com 4/6/15: Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina on Monday blamed environmentalists for what she called a “man-made” drought in California, which has led to the state’s first water restrictions. “With different policies over the last 20 years, all of this could be avoided,” Fiorina, a likely 2016 ... MOREMichael Grable: The California Drought & The Free Market
Free markets free people. Controlled markets control people. A long story in The Desert Sun (a Palm Springs daily) recently manufactured a lake out of a puddle in California's perennial water problems. Maybe it's just Governor Moonbeam's gang feeding propaganda to the fourth estate, but it's a good example of how government regulation and media ... MOREStephen Moore: Greens Against The Poor
How the climate change agenda hurts the poor. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton,
Elizabeth Warren and the whole gang of Democratic leaders claim that
one of their highest priorities is to lift up the middle class and
reduce the income gap between rich and poor. That goal collides
with what they admit is their very highest priority: stopping ... MORERonald Bailey: What Evidence Would Be Needed To Persuade You That Man-Made Climate Change Is Real?
Evidence does not mandate any particular policy. In 2005, I changed my mind about climate change: I concluded that the balance of the scientific evidence
showed that man-made global warming could likely pose a significant
problem for humanity by the end of this century. My new assessment did
not please a number of my friends, some of ... MORETed Cruz And Rand Paul Team Up To Cut Enviro Funding
by Ben Geman. Two 2016 hopefuls working together. Republican Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are rivals for their party's
White House nomination, but they're finding some common ground in the
Senate's budget fight. On
Wednesday the two 2016 hopefuls jointly filed an amendment to the budget
plan that would cut new budget ... MOREPatrick 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 ... MOREWhy 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 ... MOREWalter 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 ... MOREGlobal 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 ... MOREObama's Massive Land Grab Has Alaska Furious
by Michael Bastasch. 'We will fight back' President Obama announced Sunday that his administration plans to lock up the oil-rich 1.5 million acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge coastal plain and offshore areas in Alaska from oil and gas exploration. Obama is asking Congress to designate 12 million acres of ANWR as a “wilderness” to keep it off-limits to ... 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, ... MOREWind Turbines are 'Expensive, Unreliable and Inefficient'
by Donna Rachel Edmunds. Study reveals another inconvenient truth. 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 ... MOREFay 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
