Global warming evangelists didn’t see the writing on the wall but we did. It turns out that the Clean Development Mechanism that was arranged under the Kyoto Protocol allows “rich countries” to offset their CO2 reduction requirements by “sponsoring” reductions in other countries. The only problem is that the trading system was set up to [...]

Whoa, when Democrats step in it they usually step in it big. Thus is the case with global warming. You see building a position based on consensus is a lot different than actually building it based on something more concrete, like perhaps fact.
Perhaps that’s why the position on global warming changes so often, to the [...]

Barack Obama showed up in Michigan and spouted the typical idiocy on America’s addiction to the big bad evil oil. Here’s how he started out.
When it comes to our economy, our security, and the very future of our planet, the choices we make in November and over the next few years will shape the next [...]

Science & Public Policy Institute, via Moonbattery. PDF version here, and the meat of the study is here.
* The IPCC’s 2007 climate summary overstated CO2’s impact on temperature by 500-2000%;
* CO2 enrichment will add little more than 1 °F (0.6 °C) to global mean surface temperature by 2100;
* Not one of the three key [...]

Fellow Webloggin contributer Big Dog is going after my Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he’s found a whole mess of contradictions about the Governator T-800. Gov. Schwarzenegger is supposed to be a pretty smart and ambitious guy, but on the global warming thing he’s either fallen for a bunch of hooey, or is pretending to have. [...]

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (RINO-CA) is criticizing the Bush Administration for failing to recognize global warming and for not acting on it because the Chinese and Indians did not act. Schwarzenegger’s remarks came after the EPA decided not to pursue further action against global warming during the Bush presidency. It would appear as if the Terminator [...]

Your flat screen TV is contributing to global warming (hat tip: Boortz).
A greenhouse gas called nitrogen trifluoride, used to make the TVs, is 17,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide, said Michael Prather, director of the environment institute at the University of California, Irvine.
But no one yet knows how much of it is being released [...]

The scaremongers continue to shout, just like Chicken Little — “The sky is falling!”
Are we living in the last century of our civilization? Is it possible that all of our technology, knowledge and wealth cannot save us from ourselves? Could our society actually be heading towards collapse? According to many of the world’s [...]

Carbon Trading Doesn’t Work and the Kyoto Protocol is Worthless. Duh.
What a cool idea: Instead of reducing our own carbon emissions, we’ll pay other people to reduce theirs. Win-win!
Not so fast. Carbon offsets — and emissions-trading schemes, their industrial-scale siblings — are the environmental version of subprime mortgages. They both started from some admirable premises. [...]

Global Warming Hysteria Leads to Knee Jerk Acceptance of Government Policies
Another article on Neal’s reading assignment list, that I missed the first go-round. In defense of CO2. Good points…like…
Unlike the many scientists who welcome CO2 for its benefits, many other scientists and most governments believe carbon dioxide to be a dangerous pollutant that must be [...]
