When I read the Washington Post’s disgraceful editorial the other day on the Climategate scandal, I thought of how far they have fallen since their big moment in the sun, Watergate. In those heady days, Editor Ben Bradlee and a team of crack investigative reporters led by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein exposed the Watergate coverup and brought down President Nixon. Of course, they…
The nation’s best science reporter, John Tierney, today publishes a great piece on Climategate on the front page of the New York Times’s Science section. He goes through some of the hilarious comments in one of the juiciest files unearthed in the scandal so far, the “Harry Read Me” file (which I earlier wrote about here). Anyone who thinks that the “world’s leading climate scientists” don’t have anything to hide might want to read Tierney’s article. Forget about the likely possibility…
The public posting on a web site of private e-mails and documents from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England is going to cause an uproar. Just a quick look at a few of the e-mails provides some startling revelations. My colleague Julie Walsh lists a few of them in today’s issue of the Cooler Heads Digest. Much more detail is provided at Steve McIntyre’s web site, ClimateAudit.
Here is CEI’s press release, and my colleague…
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…
By Joseph D’Aleo, Fellow of the American Meteorological Society
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…
Our very own Christopher C. Horner explains the hype behind global warming and talks about his new book, Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed on Living the Life, available on ABC Family and CBN.com.

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…
