On Earth Day, it’s remarkable how much Green energy (of the political variety) has been pumped into the climate change movement. It gives people an easy way to assume intellectual superiority with virtually zero effort. It’s the eternal crusade, the insoluble problem, the hypothesis that can never be falsified, so it provides sustainable fuel for countless rallies and political power grabs.
President Obama is earning criticism for Earth Day plans that include taking Air Force One to the Everglades in Florida to serve as a backdrop for his latest speech about his fears of global warming.
The witch-hunting obsessions of the climate cult took them into the realm of total absurdity with March’s “Open Letter to Museums From Members of the Scientific Community,” which called upon museum administrators to begin refusing donations from the evil fossil-fuel industry.
Labour has put tackling climate change at the centre of its election manifesto, promising one million new green jobs, setting targets for Britain to have carbon free energy by 2030 and pushing for global net zero carbon emissions by the latter half
British school-children are taught to believe that global warming will be an unmitigated disaster: soaring temperatures will turn out green and pleasant land into an arid desert before it sinks beneath the waves of a rising sea. But for the
Coal investment tycoon and global warming pusher Tom Steyer uses his billions as a weapon to shape government leftward, and this week he is again using his billions to criticize the libertarian-minded Koch brothers for using their own money to shape government rightward. For a second time now, Styer is calling for the Kochs to join him in a “debate” on climate change.
President Obama has made a not-so-subtle attempt to personalise his administration’s war on “climate change” by linking it with his daughter Malia’s asthma. Nice try, Mr President. But the evidence just doesn’t stack up. While it’s true that the CDC
A federal panel has decreed that a diet heavy on vegetables is the best diet for the planet in this age of global warming.
Potential 2016 presidential candidate and former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina recently penned an op-ed in Time in which she chastises liberal environmentalists for making a species of fish a priority over human beings, resulting in billions of gallons of precious fresh water released to the Pacific Ocean–water that could have been used to help California during it’s fourth year of a devastating drought.
President Obama said it’s a good thing that the number of “climate deniers” is decreasing in an interview broadcast on Wednesday’s “Today” on NBC. “What’s exciting is that you’re seeing doctors, nurses, medical schools really trying to raise awareness…the good

Slate magazine launches a witch hunt against Republicans (not limited to the 2016 candidates) over climate change.
The Church of Global Warming will surely hang on long after the “global warming pause” hits its third or fourth decade, because it’s far too useful to greedy politicians. However, a new study from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany might deliver a “death blow to global warming hysteria,” in the assessment of Patrick J. Michaels and Paul Knappenberger at the Cato Institute.
It was the moment when global warming hysteria first grabbed the world’s headlines: the day in June 1988 when a visibly perspiring Dr James Hansen testified before a Senate Committee – and a credulous media – that the “earth is
By the time you read this, the Eiffel Tower will have gone dark for an hour, along with the Parliament building in London, and presumably Buckingham Palace. At 8:30 Eastern time, the UN Secretariat building will darken and on and on as 8:30 comes in each time zone.
Thomas Kuhn, in his classic book on the structure of scientific revolutions, points out how difficult scientific paradigms are to shift. He suggests they become even more so when there is a moral element involved. I will suggest that projected

Harvard’s president travels to Beijing to tout the importance of environmentalism, and specifically warn the audience about “global warming.” The Chinese must be laughing themselves sick at the spectacle of their geopolitical adversaries voluntarily kneecapping their economies in service to global warming mythology, while the air in Beijing can be eaten with a spoon on bad days.
A new poll of Americans finds that after a one-time rise, the level of concern about environmental threats is continuing a fifteen-year decline.
