As I begin my much-needed vacation, I awoke this morning to frantic e-mail messages from concerned readers all including the same link to the same  New York Times op-ed submission from the Global Warmingist-in-Chief himself, soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore.As a kayak and a beautiful lake beckon, it is impossible to really do this piece the injustice it so badly deserves. However, needless to say, the…

As the world prepares for a deluge of Live Earth concerts featuring the Global Warmingist-in-Chief himself, more and more of his inconvenient hypocrisies are being exposed by scientists and writers across the planet.The most recent exposé was written by a senior fellow of the Heartland Institute, James M. Taylor.The op-ed, published Saturday by the Chicago Sun-Times, deliciously addressed the…

The chinks in the armor that is a supposed scientific consensus regarding man’s role in global warming continued to grow this week when it was identified that many of the folks involved in the most recent report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were not in agreement with the study’s findings.Didn't hear about this? Well, how could you? Nobody reported it!In fact…

One of the pet peeves of anthropogenic global warming skeptics is how the media and climate change alarmists like soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore only address events supporting that which they conflate and abuse data to prove.A perfect example is the discussion concerning receding glaciers, as these folks will either ignore when such recession began, or the other possible environmental issues that many…

As the worm has clearly turned on all this global warming hooey, it seems appropriate to begin recording COLD events across the planet not just to highlight the foolishness, but also to infuriate those still buying into the junk science.With that in mind, it snowed in parts of South Africa Tuesday that haven’t seen the frosty white stuff in many decades.Thanks, global warming!As deliciously (and…

Savvy NewsBusters readers are quite aware that last week, a professor from the Wharton Business School named Scott Armstrong challenged soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore to a wager over global warming. According to the website created by one of Armstrong’s students, the Global Warmingist-in-Chief has yet to respond.However, there are some updates concerning the matter that folks might find interesting.…

Chicago’s Mayor Richard Daley is finding out the hard way that it’s not so easy being green. As reported by the Chicago Tribune last week (h/t MRC summer intern Joe Steigerwald, emphasis added throughout):Mayor Richard Daley vowed six years ago to make Chicago a leader in emerging efforts to fight global warming, but city government is churning out more heat-trapping pollution every year.I’m…

Depending on which newspaper you read Tuesday morning, the wildfires in the Lake Tahoe region of California and Nevada were either caused by global warming or environmentalists.I kid you not.In Northern California, just a few hours from the devastation, the number one paper in the region, the San Francisco Chronicle, chose to blame the fires on overdevelopment in Tahoe, and, of course, global…

And now for something completely insipid…As the media and their alarmists like soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore have shamefully convinced enough of the population that man can actually impact the climate, law firms around the nation are gearing up to sue possible offenders.I kid you not.As reported in Monday’s Dallas Morning News (h/t NBer alamojb, emphasis added throughout):

Despite the seemingly ad nauseum claims by alarmists in the media of a consensus amongst scientists that man is responsible for global warming, it now seems that virtually every week, another highly-credentialed individual comes forward to profess a skeptical view.With that in mind, a significant paper concerning the relationship between sunspot activity and rainfall was published this month in…

Al Gore is at it again, blaming all the world’s environmental problems on others, in particular, George W. Bush, while revising history to suggest that he did more to solve anthropogenic global warming when he was Vice President, and would have done more if elected president in 2000.Sadly, American media choose to give him a pass for his historical revisions, allowing him to say whatever he wants…

I’m not sure what derangement syndrome Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is suffering from, but on Friday’s “Hardball,” he actually blamed the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center on President Reagan’s rollback of CAFE standards in 1986.I kid you not.To set this up, Kennedy and conservative talk show host Melanie Morgan were invited on to discuss profits that are currently being made surrounding “…

If you listen to the global warming alarmists working for the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or folks like soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore, sea levels across the globe are rising at a rate that will eventually doom us all.According to Swedish paleogeophysicist Nils-Axel Mörner, who’s been studying and writing about sea levels for four decades, the scientists working for the…
