Posted in Alternative Fuel Sources on 28 July 2008

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick signed into law today legislation to drop all state taxes on cellulosic biofuels.  The plan, which also requires heating oil and diesel to be 2% biofuel by 2010, would provide incentives to industries that produce cellulosic ethanol.  The problem is, according to this Cato Institute article, that there is no cellulosic [...]

Biofuel Aid Not Reducing Carbon Emissions
Posted in Alternative Fuel Sources on 16 July 2008

The $11 billion in annual subsidies given by the United States, Europe and Canada for plant-based biofuels isn’t doing much to reduce carbon emissions according to a report by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development.  They go on to say that carbon emissions from vehicles in areas where the subsidies are received are [...]

British Cutting Biofuel Production to Save Food Prices
Posted in Food on 8 July 2008

I’m proud of the British government right now.  Finally someone over there has awakened to the fact that biofuels cause food prices to skyrocket and massive shortages around the globe.  This is in direct conflict with the EU, who says rising food prices are due to increased demand for meat and dairy as well as [...]

Food Prices Up 75% Thanks to Biofuels
Posted in Food on 7 July 2008

100 million people have been pushed below the poverty line, thanks to rising food prices. A baby of Gore and his global warming myth, biofuels manufactured from food is causing deforestation and additional use of water and fertilizer to grow the crops necessary to make it [...]

Corn-Based Ethanol Increases Emissions
Posted in Alternative Fuel Sources on 17 May 2008

More botched science on the part of the global warming activists. A new study finds that corn-based ethanol doubles the amount of greenhouse gas emissions over 30 years when compared to regular gasoline. So instead of saving the planet, the ecolibs are helping to push [...]

Global Warming 101
Posted in Commentary, Global Warming Hoax Lead Story on 12 May 2008

As sort of a prequel to the two-part Skeptical Beginner’s Guide to the Global Warming Hoax I wrote over the last two weeks, here is a really basic primer on terminology used in the raging debate (yes, there is a debate) over global warming.
Anthropogenic:  a really fancy way of saying man-made.
Biofuels:  an energy source, mostly [...]

Is Al Gore’s Global Warming Hoax in Trouble?
Posted in Al Gore, Global Warming Hoax Lead Story on 6 May 2008

Amid a frenzy of news reports covering backlash over skyrocketing food prices due to the corn-based ethanol boondoggle, the global warming hoax could be in trouble.
Time Magazine recently reported in the Clean Energy Scam that rain forests were disappearing at an alarming rate, thanks to biofuel use.  The sad part about biofuels is that they are less [...]

The Great Global Warming (Hoax) Race
Posted in Disputing Global Warming on 1 May 2008

Fox News opinion piece on the global warming hoax. Now that climatologists have determined that the planet won’t warm due to “Mother Nature”, can we call off the global warming hoax now? With temperatures not warming since the El Nino-induced 1998, I think it’s time [...]

Al Gore and Live Earth to Rock Campuses this Fall
Posted in Live Earth on 28 April 2008

The Live Earth global warming hoax concerts are being planned as a simultaneous event at multiple campuses around the United States on October 5th.  The funny part about all of this is that, prior to the event, Live Earth will invite the Democratic and Republican nominee to clarify their positions on issues such as “climate [...]
