Today I am launching an appeal on behalf of a former British comedian called Robert Webb.

Penn State University’s 98-year old Outing Club has been banned from conducting outings. The university authorities have decided that the great outdoors is simply too fraught with risk for students.

Beneath the warm cuddly exterior of the bunny-hugging greenie beats the heart of a fascist. If you ever doubted it, check out this Vox interview with William T Vollmann.

NASA’s new Administrator Jim Bridenstine is a climate change skeptic – and naturally the usual suspects are furious.

Greenies are up in arms over another environmental scandal of their own making. A TV documentary, shown on Britain’s left-wing Channel 4, has been shocked to discover that old hardwood forests in the U.S. are being chopped down, exported to the UK and burned for what is laughably being billed as “green” energy.

Most of the world’s deadliest pollution is concentrated in the Third World, largely among poor households which have little or no access to electricity produced by fossil-fuel power.

North Korea and South Korea are on the verge of declaring peace. No one, I imagine, will be quite so disappointed by this dreadful news as the distinguished war historian Sir Max Hastings.

Environmentalism has a long history of attracting cranks, loons and zealots. There was the Unabomber, whose Manifesto was all but indistinguishable from Al Gore’s Earth In Balance.

“Better off in.” This was the slogan of the Remain campaign during Britain’s EU referendum. It didn’t persuade the 17.4 million people who voted Brexit.

I’m glad that at least some politicians are waking up to the seriousness of the problem of Big Tech’s censorship of any voices which don’t align with its left-liberal agenda.

In the U.S. – thanks largely to Donald Trump – the skeptics are winning the climate argument.

Susan Crockford is a polar bear expert with a message that climate alarmists don’t want to hear: polar bear populations are thriving and are certainly in no danger from thinning summer sea ice supposedly caused by ‘man-made global warming.’

Britain has just suffered its worst winter death toll in 42 years. But what’s more shocking still is that the UK government – claiming to be Conservative, last time I looked – is actually boasting about the disastrous policy which helped kill them.

President Trump has once again come out in defense of his embattled Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has endorsed an article calling for the Republican party to be wiped out in the U.S. for at least a couple of generations and replaced by a de facto one-party state controlled by well-meaning Democrats.

Trump has finally risen to the defense of his embattled EPA chief Scott Pruitt.

Quite right too, for Pruitt is by some margin the best Administrator the Environmental Protection Agency has had since it was founded by Richard Nixon in 1970.

The thing that puts me off libertarianism is the “more libertarian than thou” game so many libertarians like to play.

The Maldives – that Indian Ocean island group allegedly most threatened by global warming –  is building a new runway at its international airport.

The knives are out for Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt. It’s so blatant that even liberals have noticed.

Obviously not all vegans are as dangerously psychopathic as the late YouTube shooter Nasim Aghdam. But it’s an unfortunate fact that a significant minority are imbued with exactly that toxic mix of fanaticism, burning outrage and weapons-grade self-righteousness you find among all the most ruthless terrorists.

Fox has decided to back Laura Ingraham against the leftist cry bullies. I wish I didn’t have to live in a world where this was news.

President Trump is winning at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). There can be no better proof of this than the latest anguished editorial in the New York Times, lamenting the changes made by EPA administrator Scott Pruitt.

Laura Ingraham should not have apologized to David Hogg for having called out his whiny entitlement on Twitter.

Judge William Alsup has laughed off suggestions that he’s currently presiding over the “global warming” equivalent of the Scopes Monkey Trial.

The “Bomb Cyclone” which ravaged the Northeast U.S. this winter would have been much, much more damaging if it hadn’t been for coal-fired power.

Junk science is no longer welcome at the Environmental Protection Agency. Administrator Scott Pruitt has declared war on what he calls “secret science” – the process whereby EPA regulators have been able to craft rules using non-publicly-available science data.

Fewer and fewer Republicans and Independents believe that ‘climate change’ is a credible threat; more and more Democrats do. ‘Global warming’, it is becoming increasingly clear, is a political issue and not a scientific one.

Climate change is going to kill at least 150 million people and there’s nothing we can do to stop it.

It doesn’t matter how many air miles eco-crusader Leonardo DiCaprio racks up in his private jet on his mission to save the planet. All that matters is that his intentions are good, one of his fellow celebrities actress Felicity Huffman has explained.

The scare about global warming is overdone, according to more than 40 scientific papers published in just the first three months of 2018.

Climate change could make the opioid crisis worse, a Penn State University professor claims.

Since when did we get to the stage where free speech needs defending? Where jokes – in however poor taste – suddenly become justification for a prison sentence?

There is no Big Oil conspiracy to suppress the truth about “climate change,” a federal judge in California has ruled.

“Smokescreens”. This, apparently, is the fancy new euphemism used by climate alarmists to describe what we on the skeptical side of the argument prefer to call “facts.”

The data tampering at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is even worse than we thought: over the last century it has exaggerated “global warming” in the U.S. by as much as 2.5 degrees F.

South Australia has ousted the left-wing, eco-loon government responsible for the disastrous green energy policy which has often plunged the state into darkness, hamstrung industry and driven electricity prices to stratospheric highs.
