Climate alarmists can’t stop harping on the so-called “consensus” about the causes and consequence of climate change, so much so that they’re using children to shame “deniers.” Climate Reality Project, a group former vice president Al Gore founded, promoted a video of an eight year-old girl shouting at an opponent, claiming that “97 percent” of scientists agree on climate change. Liberal media…

College tuition is like lunch: it’s never free. But that hasn’t stopped the media and liberal politicians from claiming it could be.

Liberal New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman is displeased with many of the “leading candidates” in the 2016 election, but made a nasty off-topic remark to bash conservative tax reform leader Grover Norquist in a recent column.

Warning of imminent danger from man-made climate change wasn’t enough for climate alarmists.

The Supreme Court dealt a “major blow” to the Obama administration and the president’s climate agenda late on Feb. 9. NBC, the “Green is Universal” network ignored it entirely.
