Al Gore is calling on young people to engage in “civil disobedience” as necessary to stop the legal construction of coal plants. This is just a reminder of how little space exists between what is considered mainstream liberals and that of the radical left.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al [...]

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 [...]

Is the notion that human activity is the primary cause of global warming based upon flawed science and one-sided propaganda designed to thrust the world into a socialist model of centralized economic control?
Why are the voices of thousands of scientists being silenced by a few hundred ideologues? Is the ideology of communism and that of [...]

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 [...]

The Morgan Rule of Environmentalism rings true once again: It’s all about showing off for each other. Our actions having a beneficial effect on the environment, our actions having a harmful effect on the environment — anything having an effect on anything, save [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

“Correlation is not causation!” say the science types. The meaning of this timeless refrain is clear: Just because you find two metrics correlate, throughout space or time, does not necessarily mean one metric is a causative agent of the other. Science cannot be useful to us if it doesn’t measure reality, and part of reality [...]

Rising global temperatures could lead to an increase in kidney stones, according to research presented at the 103rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA). Dehydration has been linked to stone disease, particularly in warmer climates, and global warming will exacerbate this effect. As a result, the prevalence of stone disease may [...]
