Two weeks ago, unnamed whistleblowers exposed years of e-mails from scientists working at Britain’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU). The CRU’s Web site describes it as “one of the world's leading institutions concerned with the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change,” but the e-mails paint the CRU as more of a political “war room” for radical environmentalists.As Boston Globe columnist…

The imminent end of the world. Aliens (the ones from space, not the illegal kind). Witches and warlocks. Those are some of things Americans believe in.  Unbiased journalism? Not so much. That's what the polling tells us. A 2008 Harris Poll reinforced that belief. More Americans believe in ghosts (44 percent), UFOs (36 percent) and witches (31 percent) than believe journalists.

Most of the viewer e-mails he read sided with the critics of the…

It's been nearly two weeks since a scandal shook many people's faith in the scientists behind global warming alarmism.

I imagine the folks at the Washington Post thought they were being fair and balanced Tuesday when they published two letters to the editor that were skeptical of man's role in global warming as compared to one that supported Nobel Laureate Al Gore's view of the world.The only problem is that one letter was penned by someone very important to the Global Warmingist-in-Chief and the entire climate…

Still think there's no money in spreading global warming alarmism?Well, how'd you like to make $1,200 just for shaking someone's hand and having your picture taken with the sycophant?This is what Al "I'm Only Doing This To Save The Planet" Gore is charging for such an honor at next week's climate change conference in Copenhagen.Nice work if you can get it, huh?  As reported by the Washington…
