In fact, the genie was let out of the proverbial bottle by this Reuters headline: "U.N. Climate Change Meeting Aims at…

As NewsBusters reported Monday, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-California) was quoted in an Orange County Register article as saying about a recent trip by Senators to investigate Greenland's glaciers, "I think everyone who has seen this is changed." On Tuesday, the Washington Post reported: "There is absolutely no disagreement that the greenhouse gas emissions are adding to climate change and global…

What is it about Democrat Congresswomen from California that gives them the ability to actually see global warming? I'm not sure of the answer, but am positive that for the second time in about two months, a high-ranking Democrat from California went to Greenland, and actually saw global warming. To refresh everyone's memory, the first was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who in late May claimed to…

By now, you've likely heard about the floods in England, and how the media believe them to be caused by global warming. However, have you heard about the cold snap in Peru that has already killed 70 children? You haven't? Well, how could you? After all, no American media outlet has felt it to be newsworthy. Yet, the following was reported by the BBC on Wednesday, and, as amazing as it might…

As NewsBusters has reported, American media have been relaying to the citizenry that the recent floods in England are caused by - what else? - manmade global warming. Addressing such nonsense Friday was London-based geological-, biological-, and political-history researcher Don Stewart. In an article published at PR-GB.com, Stewart mocked the hysteria surrounding England's floods, and…

The war over climate change got much hotter Friday, so much so that anthropogenic global warming skeptics who have claimed that there is a huge number of scientists staying silent about this issue to protect their careers may have been validated.

On July 13, NewsBusters reported that Michael T. Eckhart, president of the American Council on Renewable Energy, sent an e-mail message to Dr. Marlo Lewis of the Competitive Enterprise Institute threatening to destroy his career: If you produce one more editorial against climate change, I will launch a campaign against your professional integrity. During a hearing of the Senate Environment and…

In the past four days, the New York Times published two reviews of "Arctic Tale," a new film about polar bears threatened by - wait for it! - global warming. Makes one wonder whether the need for two reviews versus the normal one was due to the Times's desire to advance alarmism concerning the great, liberal bogeyman of climate change, or that the screenplay was co-written by soon-to-be-Dr. Al…

Just how far is all this global warming nonsense going? Well, on Tuesday, four senators proposed a bill that would create a new federal bureaucracy to oversee the growing multi-billion dollar carbon trading market. Just what we need, right? Another monolithic bureaucracy, this one designed to help solve a problem the existence of which is greatly questioned. As Duke University reported…

In an article written for the Reno-Gazette Journal, the implication is that hotter temperatures in the city can be laid on the doorstep of man-caused global warming. The basis for the article is a nationwide study by U.S. PIRG, an "environmental advocacy group."Among its findings:In 2006, Reno experienced 74 days where the temperature hit at least 90 degrees -- 21 days more than the historical…
