Should it be against the law to disagree with an as yet unproven scientific theory?A Canadian scientist and high-profile television personality thinks so, and has called for the jailing of political leaders that ignore the junk science behind the anthropogenic global warming myth.It appears the witch hunt has moved from calling non-believers "deniers" to the burning phase, which is comically…

January 19th, 2008 11:34 AM
Fortunately, most people will likely be watching the Giants-Packers game Sunday evening, and will therefore miss the one-sided hysteria. However, for those that mysteriously don't switch channels after the Chargers-Patriots game, CBS will offer a special about global warming this Sunday instead of "60 Minutes." How marvelous.

January 15th, 2008 10:49 AM
As many liberals subscribe to the "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" philosophy, it certainly shouldn't come as any great surprise that so-called eco-warriors that extol the virtues of a green lifestyle are actually the worst polluters.

January 13th, 2008 12:53 PM
The selective coverage of international weather events by global warming obsessed media continued this weekend as near-record low temperatures in Saudi Arabia mixed with snow went totally ignored by American press outlets. This goes quite counter to the vast amount of coverage any climate event anywhere on the face of the planet receives if it can be used to support Nobel Laureate Al Gore's…
Hollywood Style Weather Reports Incite Global Warming Fears
January 12th, 2008 5:28 PM
In the midst of all the recent global warming alarmism, have you considered the role that the "Hollywoodation" of weather reporting has played? After all, much as news reporting has become more and more geared towards titillation in the past couple of decades, so has the media's presentation of climate events, especially extreme ones like Hurricane Katrina.

A global warming crazed media are going to have a very interesting decision to make this week.Should they report early spring conditions in the eastern part of the country, especially in New York City, or the massive snowstorms that will hit western states including Colorado, Utah, California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada?

January 3rd, 2008 10:38 AM
For months, NewsBusters has jokingly referred to global warming as the liberal bogeyman. In a recently released horror film entitled "The Last Winter," this tongue-in-cheek reference became reality as the evil apparition embodied by man's insatiable lust for fossil fuels actually comes to life to kill oil workers in Alaska.In effect, Mother Nature is so displeased with oil exploration that she…
