Global Warming

The folks in North Dakota could certainly use some of that global warming right about now, for all through the state, sub-zero temperatures are breaking records.As reported by the Bismarck Tribune Thursday:

One of the cornerstones of climate alarmism is that global warming is causing stronger, more destructive tropical storms.If you don't believe me, just ask the Global Warmingist-in-Chief Al Gore.Well, on Thursday, the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration issued a press release that should make the Nobel Prize committee demand Gore immediately return his award and their money.As…

The eco-love affair Washington has with biofuels is starting to take a toll on the fragile U.S. economy. It's a shame no one in the media have that connection. "World News with Charles Gibson" explained on February 20 that biofuels are driving up food prices, which is driving up inflation. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key inflation reading, rose 0.4 percent in January according to the…

Be afraid, America! Be very afraid!No matter how many times people like Nobel Laureate Al Gore claim that global warming isn't political, nothing can be further from the truth.Take for example a bill in the California senate to require climate change be part of the science curricula in all public schools.As reported in Friday's San Jose Mercury (emphasis added throughout, h/t Marc Sheppard):

Folks that question man's role in climate change are well aware of the fanaticism displayed by those preaching gloom and doom if we don't immediately stop burning fossil fuels. Non-believers like to refer to such people as warm-mongers. With this in mind, astrophysicist Dr. Sallie Baliunas gave a lecture about global warming at the University of Texas, Tyler, on Tuesday, deliciously equating…

On Tuesday, NewsBusters exposed the New York Times for using the death of a highly-regarded American scientist, Dr. Robert Jastrow, to advance global warming alarmism. In response to my e-mail message concerning the matter, Dr. Albert Arking, the former colleague of Jastrow's quoted in the piece, stated, "The NY Times article came out of a long conversation (initiated by the writer, John…

Shortly after New Years, NewsBusters informed readers about a new horror movie wherein nature attacks oil workers in Alaska to prevent global warming.To further scare people into sacrificing their financial well-being in order to stave off the liberal bogeyman, HuffPoster Kerry Trueman on Tuesday suggested that food shortages will be so rampant if we don't stop climate change that we'll all end…

First it killed adorable polar bears and caused Darfur; now the Loch Ness Monster! (h/t Ace)A February 13 article in the UK's Daily Mail reporting the retirement of legendary American Nessie hunter Robert Rines, alerted the world to yet another example of the growing devastation of global warming.  The 85-year-old WWII veteran said after 40 years, he is “running out of age” but will try one more…

Imagine yourself as a big time editor, and somebody brings you an article with the headline, "Cold Wave in India Attributed to Global Warming." Wouldn't you strongly suggest a rewrite?Well, no such sanity occurred at the Indian website Sify on Tuesday.Instead, that preposterous title actually did get published atop an article of equally absurd and hypocritical content (emphasis added):

If all the global warming alarmists are right, the world is about to come to an end because the planet's getting too darned hot.So, why is it so darned cold?As Johnny Carson would have expected from his audience, "How cold is it?" Well, as reported by the Capital Times, Madison, Wisconsin, has just broken an all-time record for the most snowfall in one year (emphasis added):

In today's cynical world, is nothing sacred?Is nothing deserving of respect or dignity? Even death? Apparently not at the New York Times, which actually took the occasion of the demise of a highly-regarded American scientist to advance global warming alarmism. Sadly, I kid you not. As reported Tuesday:

C'mon, everybody...for the sake of the planet, sing along with Daryl and Elmer:
