Leonardo DiCaprio Introduces ‘The 11th Hour,' AKA ‘An Inconvenient
July 13th, 2007 3:12 PM
Given the dismal failure of Al Gore’s Live Earth concerts, now seems hardly the time to be releasing “An Inconvenient Truth, Part II.”Yet, on August 17, Leonardo DiCaprio’s documentary about how man is destroying the planet, “The 11th Hour,” premieres to a society that seems to be losing interest in global warming alarmism. How delicious.The seemingly over-worked premise is described thusly (…
BBC Report on Sun and Climate Change Contradicts Its Own 2004 Story
July 12th, 2007 5:34 PM
On Thursday, Jules Crittenden wondered if American media are lazy, stupid or willfully ignorant with how they’ve been reporting events in Iraq. Given the BBC’s recent piece concerning the relationship between the sun and climate change which hysterically ignored an article it published almost three years ago with a completely diametric view, one might ask the same question of that British…
Did Live Earth’s Flop Reduce Media Interest in Global Warming
July 12th, 2007 2:59 PM
A funny thing happened a few days after Al Gore’s concerts to draw attention to global warming concluded: a significant study out of England stating that changes in the sun’s output are not responsible for climate change went almost thoroughly ignored by America’s media.A report by the BBC on Tuesday, which demonstrably challenged one of the key arguments made by anthropogenic global warming…
Former Weather Channel Bigwig Debunks IPCC and Global Warming Hysteria
July 10th, 2007 2:50 PM
Joseph D’Aleo is likely not a household name. However his bona fides when it comes to meteorology are such that when he suggests that “a [small] cadre of agenda-driven scientists and statesmen” inside the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change provided a “more alarmist interpretation” of the facts concerning manmade global warming, and “the media took the most extreme of the…
ABC Bashes Bottled Water Companies, Ignores the One RFK Jr. Owns
July 10th, 2007 12:47 PM
As the Business and Media Institute reported, ABC’s “World News” on Sunday castigated people for drinking bottled water.Yet, it seems the folks at ABC weren’t aware that environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., actually owns a – wait for it! – bottled water company (h/t to NBers lumberjack and dscott).As BMI’s Jeff Poor reported Monday:“With every sip are you actually hurting the…
Buenos Aires Snow First in 89 Years, Will Media Care
July 10th, 2007 11:41 AM
As the American northeast swelters in the summer heat, it seems a metaphysical certitude that press representatives will use the occasion to increase hysteria over manmade global warming.Yet, these media minions will completely ignore extreme cold conditions and record snowstorms occurring at the same time in the southern hemisphere.For instance, last week’s freak snows in South Africa went…
RFK Jr. Calls Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck Lying ‘Flat
July 9th, 2007 4:47 PM
For those whose gastrointestinal tracts couldn’t allow them to stomach the goings on during Saturday’s Live Earth concerts, conceivably one of the best moments was Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s rant at Giants Stadium.Not only did Kennedy attack the politicians and the media as “corporate toadies” for the oil industry, but he also slammed conservative radio hosts Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn…
Former IPCC Member Slams UN Scientists' Lack of Geologic Knowledge
July 9th, 2007 1:53 PM
With each passing day, more and more current and former members of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are stepping out of the shadows to suggest that this group’s alarmist conclusions concerning global warming are more based in myth than science.Another member of this growing list of skeptics is Tom V. Segalstad who was an Expert Reviewer for the IPCC’s third assessment…
Is Live Earth’s Fizzle Beginning of the End of Global Warming Alarmi
July 9th, 2007 11:03 AM
The reviews are in for Saturday’s international effort to save the planet from global warming, and the news isn’t good for folks like soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore and his band of not so merry sycophants.From boring acts, to poor attendance, and folks actually leaving early out of sheer frustration, the concerts appear to have failed miserably.Is this a sign that Al Gore is as poor an event planner as…
Global Warming Blamed For Low Attendance at Live Earth's Johannesburg
July 8th, 2007 10:11 PM
Honestly, folks, I had to read this one five times to believe my eyes, and strongly suggest that you remove all potables, flammables, and sharp objects from your proximity before proceeding any further.Everybody ready?Well, it turns out that one of the Live Earth concerts to draw attention to the planet’s imminent doom at the hands of the left’s most recent bogeyman global warming had very poor…
Greenland Ice Find Debunks Al Gore’s Global Warming Theories
July 7th, 2007 10:19 AM
Just in time for worldwide concerts to draw attention to the planet’s imminent doom at the hands of anthropogenic global warming, a new find in Greenland suggests that much of the hysteria in Al Gore’s schlockumentary “An Inconvenient Truth” has absolutely no basis in scientific fact.Even though this study will likely get little to no attention from a media in full fawn mode over Gore and his…
Mostly Mild Weather Greets Live Earth Global Warming Concert Goers
July 7th, 2007 9:30 AM
Global warming skeptics have reveled the last few years in climate change rallies and events occurring at venues or towns experiencing colder than normal temperatures as well as late season snows.It goes without saying that one of the funniest was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-California) visit to Europe in April to discuss global warming with various European leaders just when parts of the…
Live Earth Hypocrisy: Selling Meat at Concerts to Save the Environment
July 6th, 2007 10:43 AM
Most right-thinking people that have been following the goings on of soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore and his sycophant devotees have been having a lot of fun pointing out the hypocrisies in the upcoming Live Earth concerts.Even better than this being accomplised by conservatives, a truly delicious irony has been identified by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals concerning vendors selling…
