It’s that time once again where politicians and rock musicians from around the globe fly their carbon-emitting private jets to a location on the planet to raise awareness of global warming.  Live Earth, to be held on December 7th in Mumbai India, is still working on the attendee list but has confirmed Jon Bon Jovi.  Al Gore, surprisingly speaking from satellite rather than flying in his personal jet to India for a personal message, said India was chosen because it’s the world’s largest democracy and has significant influence on the …

A recent poll of 530 climatologists in 27 countries showed 34.7 percent of interviewees endorsed the notion that a substantial part of the current global warming trend - which might see temperatures rise by a degree or two, on average, by century ’s end - is caused by man ’s industrial activities: driving cars and the like.
More than a fifth - 20.5 percent - rejected this “anthropogenic hypothesis.” Half were undecided. The skeptics now include the 85 climate experts who signed the 1995 Leipzig Declaration; the …

The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) will be studying the regional effects on the economy due to climate change in Latin America and the Caribbean.  The study will be funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID).  I wonder how many British citizens would like a tax refund rather than studying the economic effects of global warming on regions on the other side of the globe?

Portugal is set to pay about 10 billion Euros between 2013 and 2020 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet the EU’s energy and climate pact.  Electricity producers will pay the brunt of the costs, up to 6.6 billion, while industry will pay the remainder.  Electricity rates are expected to jump six to eight percent and some costs will be passed on to consumers.  Coming up in 2013:  how Portugal’s economy is rocked by greenhouse gas reduction scheme.

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 …

According to the article, riding mowers can emit as much smog as 34 cars.  Hence, the EPA wants to reduce mower emissions by 35% and estimates the cost of the mowers will jump 18% but “those higher costs could be offset by the benefits of cleaner air.”  Global warming activism toppling the economy one riding lawnmower at a time.

Al Gore’s best hope has turned into his worst nightmare. The economy, slowed by high oil prices and transportation costs, has turned people away from the green lifestyle in an effort to save money.

Running on already low profit margins, farmers in New Brunswick could find themselves struggling under a proposed carbon tax by Stephane Dion. Farmers also fear a stifled economy as businesses outside the agriculture sector are hit by the tax.

Attorney General Jerry Brown of California has plans to sue a proposed Nestle Waters North America bottling plant in Northern California unless its effects on global warming are first evaluated.  More evidence that global warming activists are doing all they can to destroy the economy and, I’m sure, blame it on the Republican administration.

The Princeton Review, a website dedicated to helping students and parents navigate school admissions and standardized testing, is now ranking learning institutions by how “green” they are.  Those that recycle and have other environmentally-friendly policies, provide a healthy environment for students and how well students are prepared for employment in a clean energy economy are all factors in the ranking.  Schools that rank 99 or higher are placed on the site’s “honor roll”.
