Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner was present at the Kyoto negotiations back in 1997, and predicted their failure because of the inability to get the developing nations like China to commit to emissions reductions. He has recently returned from the Poznan Conference of the Parties aimed at drawing up Kyoto II, and is of the opinion that nothing has been learned from history. He has set out his concerns in a letter to President-elect Obama (copy below).
Of course, in many ways the…

Over at my Web site I've posted a long, blow-by-blow account of how Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter and his administration repeatedly enlisted the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to pay for his global warming alarmist agenda (a "new energy economy") and for his efforts to keep the federal Bureau of Land Management from leasing for oil and gas exploration on the Roan Plateau. It's sometimes a dry recitation but there are a ton of documents linked that…
On Monday, the British House of Commons passed the Climate Change Bill, marking a solemn undertaking to reduce British emissions by 80% by mid-century (unless decided otherwise) by the clear majority of 403 to 3.
Today, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister) demanded that oil companies reduce the price of gasoline.
There's "joined-up government" for you.

I plan to address this more in a future post, but it's important to get this information out now, and we have my colleague David Bass at the John Locke Foundation to thank. What is happening is an ACORN-ification of state air quality regulators, where directors of those agencies are hassling the businesses and industries they regulate into reporting their greenhouse gas emissions (and to pay for the privilege of doing so) to The Climate Registry. What is…

Apparently I have made a few enemies (surprise!) after my "Axis of Weasels" comment a few weeks ago about the University-Environmentalist-Media complex that disregards a measured, realistic approach to science and economics, especially when it comes to the global warming issue. First the president of the Society of Environmental Journalists accused me of slandering his organization's members (scroll to comments), and now Dave Nemazie of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science wants me to pay an exorbitant amount to…

You've got to wonder if there's any room for climate sanity left in governance and politics if a man recognized as one of the most conservative governors in America has bought into global warming alarmism. That's what has happened with Gov. Mark Sanford in South Carolina, who last year created the Climate, Energy, and Commerce Advisory Committee to gin up some plans (extracted from the ideas of the Center for Climate Strategies) to cut down on carbon emissions…

I was not surprised when I received documents from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science this week that showed a cozy relationship with their publicity arm at the Baltimore Sun. To remind you, over a month ago a report (PDF) with alarming supermodeled conclusions about future global warming in the state was leaked to the newspaper. A day after the Sun's unbalanced (after all, critics are only fringe "deniers") and strategically limited article (the UMCES leakers, as well…
I you ever had any doubt that the global warming alarmism agenda was a "lower-the-standard-of-living" agenda, please listen carefully to IPCC chairman Pachauri. "Give up meat for one day [a week] initially, and decrease it from there," said the Indian economist, who is a vegetarian. "That's what I want to emphasize: we really have to bring about reductions in every sector of the economy."

I hate to be the Baby Ruth in the punchbowl at the celebration over John McCain's choice for a running mate, but since it's my job to follow these things, I've got to highlight one issue where Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has aligned with the GOP candidate that makes many conservatives cringe: global warming.
Gov. Palin signed an administrative order last September that created the Alaska Climate Change Sub-Cabinet. Her order is perhaps not as strident on greenhouse gas…

Newsbusters picked up on an exchange on MSNBC between Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman in which the former ESPN sportscaster tried to take vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin down several notches:
Olbermann called her "the least experienced vice presidential candidate probably in American history," and repeatedly applied labels to her suggesting extremism, calling her "fanatically anti-abortion," "hard right," "global warming denying," a "rabid conservative," a "red meat conservative," and a "fire-breather."
In keeping with his well-documented cluelessness, Olbermann obviously did…
