In Minnesota what has been described as a tsunami of ice rolled onshore yesterday and was destroyed homes. This was not icy water, but actual ice crystals that slowly came ashore in the sub zero temperatures. One outlet described the situation this way. IT’S A SCENE that could be from a ’70s horror movie: A wave of ice crystals relentlessly marching [...]
By Rick Manning Insane, bonkers, utterly mad and downright Looney Tunes are all terms which could be used to describe actions a Yorkshire, England power plant is taking to meet Great Britain’s green agenda. Great Britain has coal, plenty of it, and the Drax power plant is one of the most efficient coal burning power plants in the country. So, [...]
By Marita Noon Last month, Earth Day came and went. Perhaps you missed hearing about it. For 2013, the theme was “The Face of Climate Change.” Other than a change in the Post Office cancellation mark on your letters from the usual wavy lines, to the four stick-like wind turbines and a sun symbol, there was little note of what [...]
By Rick Manning Joe Biden must have dressed up in his best Al Gore, Jr. suit for a Beverly Hills global warming pep rally, as the man who “invented the Internet” bemoaned that a modern day Thomas Paine would struggle to get his pamphlet “Common Sense” to the masses today due to the high cost of television airtime. Is this [...]
By Rick Manning It is a bad time to be a global warming believer. Seventeen straight years of climate stability will straighten even the most ardent true believers hockey stick. Russian scientists have even expressed concern that the globe may be facing more than 200 years of global cooling even going so far as worrying about a mini-Ice Age. How [...]
By Ron Arnold — Americans concerned about gasoline prices were encouraged by the Pew Research Center’s new poll, whose headline blared, “Keystone XL Pipeline draws broad support.” A score box showed 63 percent supporting and only 23 percent opposing the pipeline that would transport oil from Canada’s vast Alberta oil sands deposits through the Plains states to Texas refineries. “Every [...]
By Victor Morawski Commenting on John Kerry’s recent trip to China and his emphasis on anthropogenic (i.e. man caused) global warming as one of the most significant problems that the two nations should work together on solving, talk show host Rush Limbaugh voiced an opinion on science and scientific truth that the majority of his listeners and a majority of [...]
By Rick Manning The battle over the building of the Keystone XL pipeline took a somewhat bizarre twist as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offered official comments to the U.S. State Department on a draft review of the project. The EPA’s comment complained that the State Department’s draft report on whether the Keystone XL pipeline between Canada and the United [...]
By Adam Bitely — Each year on April 22, Americans celebrate Earth Day. While the “holiday” is dressed up as a day to preserve the Earth, it serves little more as a day to attack the benefits of capitalism and modern society. Does anyone really know what Earth Day is all about? Not only is April 22 Earth Day, it [...]
-By Brad Tidwell This is Gina ‘Pinto’ McCarthy, Obama’s appointed replacement to head the Environmental Protection Agency. She thinks this stuff- HFO-1234yf (or Tetrafluoropropene)- is good for the environment, and would make a great car coolant. Looks harmless, right? Except it’s not. It can cause cars to explode when they get in accidents- which is pretty often. But exploding cars are just not [...]
