Global Warming: Another Broken Promise From The Left

from Brian Lada, meteorologist.       A fresh blast of arctic air will deliver some of the coldest weather in 20 years to the country's midsection during the second half of the weekend and into the start of this week. This brutal cold will bring danger to millions from the northern Plains to the Midwest and down into the Tennessee Valley.        ... MORE

American Taxpayers Blew $7.45 Billion On What?

Fighting global warming in other countries. American taxpayers spent $7.45 billion to help developing countries cope with climate change in fiscal years 2010 through 2012, according to a federal government report submitted to the United Nations on a subject that Secretary of State John Kerry described as “a truly life-and-death challenge.” ...

Global Warming Scientists Trapped In Antarctic Ice

P. J. Gladnick on an inconvenient irony.     Somewhere far, far to the south where it is summer, a group of global warming scientists are trapped in the Antarctic ice. If you missed the irony of that situation, it is because much of the mainstream media has glossed over that rather inconvenient bit of hilarity. As an example here is an Associated   ... MORE

Top Seven Global Warming Alarmist Setbacks In 2013

by Michael Bastasch.          Hold your champagne glasses high this holiday season, because the end of 2013 marks the 17th year without global warming. This year has been trying for climate scientists and environmentalists who have been trying hard to explain away the 17-year hiatus in global warming and link “extreme weather” to rising     ...

Wesley Pruden: A Global Warming Scam That Will Not Die

We were all supposed to be dead by now,      fried to a toasty potatolike chip. Or doomed to die with the polar bears. It was to be a soggy end for the most beautiful planet in the cosmos and for all the passengers riding on it. The global alarmists never quite got their story of fright and fear straight, whether by now we would be fried or  ... MORE

Judson Phillips: Laws, Damn Laws And Regulations

Stop the dictatorship.       There are laws, there are damn laws and then there are regulations. America is awash in laws, many of them bad. We are drowning in regulations, almost all of which are stupid, illogical and simply bad.  How many laws are there? Well, it is tough to get an exact count. There are over three thousand criminal laws in the  ... MORE

Chris 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.         ... MORE

Obama Doctrine: He Could Attack Over Climate Change

by Ernest Istook.      The emerging Obama Doctrine justifies attacking nations that violate “international norms,” as judged solely by the president.  Based on statements by President Obama and key players, he could even launch attacks against those he blames for global climate change. Polluters and deniers beware: You may have to face our  ... MORE

Larry 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    ... MORE

John 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       ... MORE

Ronald 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!

Ronald Bailey: The Top 5 Lies About Fracking

A campaign of deception.      Gasland Part II, the sequel to director/activist Josh Fox's earlier anti-fracking docudrama Gasland, will run on HBO next Monday. It appears to have rounded up the usual corporate villains and appealing victims of profit-hungry capitalist skullduggery, rather than telling the more substantial story: that  ... 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     ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene

Laser beams of wisdom.   Edmund Burke said, "There is no safety for honest men, but by believing all possible evil of evil men." Evil men do not always snarl. Some smile charmingly. Those are the most dangerous. If you don't think the mainstream media slants the news, keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how   ... MORE

David 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   ... MORE
