I recently read an article over at the Duke Chronicle that discussed the link between global warming and hurricanes and, more importantly, the inability to link global warming and hurricanes.  The article says that Hurricane Ike reignited the debate of whether or not a link exists between hurricanes and climate change.  Having done my own study on the connection between tropical systems and temperature, I can tell you that I didn’t see any connection.  Activists, however, see things differently.  Al Gore recently tried to link the two, citing higher temperatures …

God bless the global warming activists.  It must be tough having to defend their positions daily all while trying to indoctrinate new members into their modern-day good ol’ boys club.
While we all know Al Gore stands to profit from the global warming machine due to his investments in companies that produce carbon credits and green technologies, the same isn’t true in reverse.  Many of the folks I know that remain skeptical about anthropogenic global warming are just like you and me.  Some of them are married and some have kids.  …

After having read an article over at THBarb yesterday, I was inspired by a line or two there that made sense to me.  The decisions around anthropogenic global warming have been made for us.
With many other social factors - and that’s what global warming is, folks, a social factor - liberals have demanded that humans have a choice.  The people chose a Democrat-controlled Congress in 2006, and liberals were elated, although their approval rating plunged to nine percent most recently.  The people are going to choose a Democrat President later …

Having watched Sarah Palin’s speech tonight during the broadcast of the Republican National Convention, she certainly seems like a go-getter and a bulldog.  From budget reform in Alaska to gas tax revenue refunds for taxpayers, it seems a nod for Palin is a good choice for America.  What struck me most during her nearly 45-minute speech, however, was a quick sentence or two that jabbed at leaders like Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi.  Palin said that she wants to drill in Alaska, but she wants to use all the resources …

WIth Hurricane Gustav dealing a glancing blow to New Orleans, the city won’t, at least for now, experience an event similar to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.  With Katrina being the poster storm of the modern global warming movement, I wonder where the global warming activists are with the latest round of tropical storms.  There have been Hurricanes Bertha, Fay, Gustav and now Hanna (recently downgraded to a tropical storm) so far this year that have been contenders for threats to the mainland United States.  Gustav only made the Democrats suddenly …

I recently read a comment on the Internet from a global warming activist that presented that exact same connotation.  If global warming turns out to be a myth, so what?  The narrow-mindedness and intense focus of climate change proponents on one issue, global warming, has the potential to cause massive economic failures globally.  The lack of care, comprehension, or both with regard to anthropogenic climate change and the impact of measures designed to counteract it is completely immoral.
Global warming activists have one item on their agenda:  stop climate change at …

Liberal environmentalists tout their left-wing thinking as being progressive, but that’s certainly not the case when it comes to global warming.
I wrote several weeks ago about the environmentalist-created climate of fear around the use of nuclear plants. Relatively cheap, clean and efficient, these marvels of technology beat anything else available to us today. Submarines are powered with nuclear fuel. NASA has launched space probes powered with nuclear fuel. But to liberal environmentalists, nuclear is dangerous and potentially dirty. Just look at Chernobyl or Three Mile …

Most of you that are skeptical of global warming see the explicit lifestyle choices being forced in your personal lives from new compact fluorescent light bulbs that contain mercury (and cost much more) to expensive gasoline that can be traced back to lack of action by environmentalists and the Democrats who love them.  But did you realize there’s a more sinister plan in the works?  It’s already being discussed in Britain and could make its way to the United States quickly if the global warming activists have their way.  It’s …

(Hat tip to Paul).  Earlier today I covered a Telegraph article describing some exciting new technology that allows for carbon dioxide to be extracted from the atmosphere.  It’s a potential win-win for those of us who want to continue to drive our gasoline-powered automobiles as well as for the environmentalists that see carbon dioxide as the main culprit in the fight against global warming.
As with every solution posed by a non-environmentalist, however, this one too has been dismissed by the climate change crowd.  You think it would be easy.  Carbon …

Having read an article by Dr. Tim Ball recently, I began to wonder when the real tipping point in global warming will come.  With Al Gore and James Hansen warning of dire consequences if we don’t convert to a carbonless society soon, one can only wonder if there’s truly a target date of destruction or if the goalposts will continue to move as predicted disasters come and go.
Gore was quick to call climate change skeptics moon landing hoaxers and flat Earthers, but might we not consider Gore and his global …
