Global Warming

For years, climate realists have been wondering how the global warming alarmists would react when the planet actually cooled, albeit for an unknown amount of time.With the winter of 2008 ushering in record-cold temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere -- following similar, albeit mostly unreported, weather in the Southern Hemisphere's 2007 winter -- it seems the resolve of the believers has been a…

"It's not easy being green" isn't just the lament of Kermit the Frog, it's the dilemma of carbon-crunching greeniacs everywhere.At least that's the sanctimonious cri de coeur of Seattle Post-Intelligencer blogger Curt Milton:What's your carbon footprint? How much carbon does your lifestyle emit every year? Can you reduce your carbon footprint?Thanks to Al Gore (and a lot of other forward-thinking…

A Time.com article by Bryan Walsh encouraged readers to go to an environmentalist Web site because it might be their last chance to see the "polar world." "Man your computers - GlobalWarming101.com might give you a last glimpse of a dying polar world," Walsh wrote on February 22. The Web site is run by Will Steger, who identified himself as an author, photographer and "ceaseless advocate for…

Global warming alarmist Anne Thompson has shown a propensity for having little regard for economic reality. Thompson offered viewers on the February 21 broadcast of the "NBC Nightly News" a variety of reasons why building a badly-needed coal-fired power plant in an isolated part of Nevada is a bad idea. "Critics say emissions are exactly the issue, because coal-fired power is the nation's…

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):
