Regular viewers of BBC News or readers of their web site know that the BBC has been the leading promoter of global warming alarmism among the major media. It therefore comes as real news that the BBC has recognized that the lack of any global warming for the past decade presents a problem for the alarmists to explain. BBC weatherman and climate correspondent Paul Hudson published an article last Friday titled, “What Happened to Global Warming?”
There is nothing remotely new…

As part of a well thought out and executed plan to convince the public there is global warming despite the cold and snow records of the last two years, get state climate action plans approved, keep the grant gravy train rolling through the university systems, and get government legislation or carbon control legislation approved that will benefit Wall Street and the government at our expense is underway.
Detailed well produced reports are being…

Sharon Begley, after a five-year stint at the Wall Street Journal returned to greener pastures at Newsweek in 2007, where she started her career. It was just in time to take part in Newsweek’s embarrassing August 13, 2007 issue “Global Warming is a Hoax” edition.
The cover story entitled, “The Truth About Denial” contained very little that could be considered ‘truth” by journalistic or scientific standards. In what could surely be considered one of the most one-sided coverage of…

Those who have been following the “alternative energy” fantasists for a while will recognize the name of Amory Lovins, the so-called “sage” (yet another pseudo-religious title utilized by liberal environmentalists for their heroes) of the Rocky Mountain Institute. They will also remember that he regularly advances marvelous-sounding schemes for re-imagining America’s energy mix, which never seem to go anywhere. He’s at it again, this time on the popular Freaknomics blog, where he suggests that renewable “micropower” is the future of…

Two children should be limit, says this British green “guru.”
What makes him a guru? Saying outrageous things that others should do, but not him personally. He has two children of his own; notice he didn’t say the limit should be one child. He and his kids taking up space and “footprinting” the world is OK, but others are a different matter:
I am unapologetic about asking people to connect up their own responsibility for their total environmental footprint and how…

James Hansen of NASA is one of the leading climate alarmists, and possesses a scientific credibility lacking in the Goracle. But Hansen really has become a parody of himself, more activist than scientist. His supervisor at NASA was a skeptic. And as Bill Steigerwald of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review wrote a year ago:
If you’ve paid any attention to the global warming debate, you’ve heard of James Hansen.
Hansen is the politicized NASA climate scientist who virtually invented the global warming issue in the…

James Hansen of NASA has become one of the leading climate alarmists. Quite simply, the world is about to end. That being the case, industry executives who don’t toe the line (only wrecking the economy can save humanity from destruction) should be tried in a kind of environmental Nuremberg Trial.
It turns out that Hansen’s supervisor, at least, was not so enamored of his work. Reports the Spectator in London:
But now the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works reports that James Hansen’s former…

In a letter dated January 26th, 2009 Al Gore’s company Generation Investment Management sent a coalition letter along with other institutional investors representing $1.7 trillion in assets to Senate Majority leader Harry Reid. The letter asked for:
1) longer-term economic incentives including extending the Production Tax Credit (PTC) for five years or more,
2) funding for energy efficiency programs – such as retrofitting buildings,
3) federal funds to flow to states that allow utilities to treat energy efficiency comparable to new supply; states…
