Collapse Of Bee Colonies Is Latest Target For Anti-Pesticide Groups
By Paul Driessen ~ Beekeeping is big business, and everyone loves honey and foods made possible by pollination. But “colony collapse disorder” threatens bees and crop pollination in many areas. CCD and other bee die-offs are nothing new. What we now call colony collapse was first reported in 1869, and many outbreaks since then have […]
The Left’s Sick Fetish For Cop-Killing Radicals
By Michelle Malkin ~ There’s a stomach-turning segment of the American population that sees surviving Boston bomber suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as a romantic maverick. The New York Times mused about the accused jihadist’s “Holden Caulfield-like adolescent alienation.” Pop singer Amanda Palmer wrote a fan girl “Poem for Dzhokhar.” An adoring “Free Jahar” movement thrives on […]
An Hour Of Darkness. Or Light!
By Alan Caruba ~ On Saturday, Greens around the world will turn off their lights in a symbolic “Earth Hour” gesture against climate change, the term they adapted in the face of the fact that the Earth has been cooling for seventeen years and is on the cusp of a mini-ice age that will ensure […]
Earth Hour Is Back. This Time, Try Turning Off Your Refrigerator
By Andrew Bolt ~ Bjorn Lomborg on the mindless insanity of Earth Hour on Saturday, when global warmists will turn off their lights for just one hour: Notice that you have not been asked to switch off anything really inconvenient, such as your heating or air-conditioning, television, computer, mobile phone, or any of the myriad […]
The Climate Models Are Broken, By The Standards Warmists Set
By Andrew Bolt ~ In 2008, Britian’s Met Office noted a 10-year pause, or sharp slowing, in the warming trend and asked this question in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’ annual State of the Climate: Do global temperature trends over the last decade falsify climate predictions? No, it decided. Global warming models wouldn’t be […]
A Warmist Academic Plans His Own Arrest
By Andrew Bolt ~ The global warming cult appeals to closet totalitarians and salvation seekers. It gives them permission to do almost anything to anybody – and to break whatever laws – on the grounds that the threat is so great and the opponents so manifestly evil. It also appeals to the narcissistic – those […]
The Warmists’ Electric Car Scheme Crashes
By Andrew Bolt ~ Electric cars were the dream of the global warming believers. As the Greens insisted: Around the world electric vehicles (EV) are beginning to transform the way we move… EVs, along with increased investment in public transport, are central to meeting the twin challenges of climate change and energy security. Warmist politicians […]
Prof. Richard Parncutt: Death Penalty for Global Warming Deniers?
Reblogged from Tallbloke's Talkshop: Hat tip to Richard Tol for alerting me to this nice example of eco-fascist thinking from Richard Parncutt, a Professor at the University of Graz, Austria. Parncutt, an expert on the psychology of music, originally from Australia, has an interesting take on combining the precautionary principle with David Hume's John Stuart […]
Is Every Single Animal and Reptile Endangered?
By Alan Caruba ~ If it sometimes seems to you that every single animal and reptile is endangered, you can thank that element of the environmental and animal rights movements that has spent millions to foster this absurd belief. Animals and reptiles, fish and birds, lizards and turtles, all are born in the wild and […]
Doomsday Et Cetera
By Alan Caruba ~ America and the rest of the world are in a confluence of events that are causing widespread anxiety and fear. The Connecticut massacre is just one, isolated example. It is being reported that the killer’s mother was as mentally unstable as her son. A report in the British daily, the Mail, […]
Environmentalists Push for Downsizing … to 200-Sq. Ft. Homes
By Liz Thatcher ~ The environmental movement had an idea on how to cut down your carbon footprint – live in a little house. This movement, often called the Tiny House Movement or micro living, is not new but had picked up steam recently, and not without some media support. However, the media have consistently […]
The Sad Tale of Three Misled Young People Unfolds
By Dr. Laina Farhat-Holzman ~ Most of us who are conscientious about rearing our children try to let them learn from small mistakes or small bad choices. However, it is difficult to know if a mistake is small or not or if it will blight their lives forever. Three young people in the news have […]
Climate Lies in Iowa’s Supreme Court
By Alan Caruba ~ Since the climate liars cannot make their case on the basis of the known science, taking it into a court of law with a passionate appeal to emotion in order to impose restrictions on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions has long been a Green goal. The claim that CO2 causes “climate change” which […]
“Sustainable Justice” = Redistribution of Scarcity
By Paul Driessen and Duggan Flanakin ~ Presidential candidate Barack Obama promised that his Administration would “fundamentally transform the United States of America.” He gave a clue to exactly what he had in mind when he told now-congressional candidate Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher: “When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” Not necessarily […]
What On Earth Are They Smoking At Rio?
By Andrew Bolt ~ I really don’t know why she’s bothered: Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has arrived in Brazil to a military honour guard, as she prepares to attend a three-day global environmental summit. The Rio+20 conference comes 20 years after the original Earth Summit, which sparked many governments into action on measures stopping […]
Climate Change Australia – On Being Abused By Clive Hamilton, Professor Of Public Ethics
By Andrew Bolt ~ The first link shown here at Andrew’s article is the direct link to the article in question, his review of a stage play currently playing in Melbourne. I urge you all to go and read the article. Professor Hamilton is also a supporter of Internet censorship in Australia…..TonyfromOz. Former Australian Greens […]
Genocidal Green Quotes
By Alan Caruba ~ As Earth Day 2012 occurs on Sunday, April 22, I offer a selection of quotes from leading figures in the environmental movement that are worth reading so that you can draw your own conclusions. In 1970, the first Earth Day generated the following quotes: “Civilization will end within 15 or 30 […]
A Teachable Moment About Chemophobia
By Alan Caruba ~ Having written a series, “The BPA File”, in which I detailed the vast efforts made worldwide to ban bisphenol-A, a chemical in use for the last sixty years to protect food containers against spoilage and to strengthen plastic bottles against breakage, I naturally welcomed news that the Food and Drug Administration […]
Back To Eugenics With The Greens
By Andrew Bolt ~ I remember being attacked when I warned of the strong links between Nazism and Germany’s green groups in the 1930s. The totalitarian instinct, and the disregard for the individual, seemed only too common to both ideologies. Now, as the global warming faith develops, the links I warned off grow far less […]
AP’s Boring Borenstein: Gleick’s Heartland Doc Theft ‘Mirrors’ Climategate Incidents
By Tom Blumer ~ On Thursday, over 40 hours after the Pacific Institute’s Peter Gleick (pictured) revealed that he stole documents from the Heartland Institute by posing as one of that organization’s board members, Seth Borenstein at the Associated Press finally broke the ice and filed a related three-paragraph “this is boring, you don’t need […]
Greener Than Thou
By Alan Caruba ~ The most obnoxious and hypocritical people are those who are always preaching a “greener” way of life, insisting that anything that constitutes our modern lifestyles are destroying the Earth and depleting its natural resources. Never mind that we depend upon oil, natural gas, coal, and a host of minerals and chemicals for that lifestyle, […]

The liberal enclave imposed a ban on plastic bags and a 5-cent tax on paper bags, joining other major cities in the latest nanny-state crackdown sweeping the nation. Seattle’s ban applies to all grocery, retail and convenience stores. It exempts farmers’ […]
