It seemed for a while that the global warming activists had the upper hand on us over the summer.  Even after foot riots broke out across the country as the price of consumables jumped significantly and shortages popped up around the globe, the pressure was still on from environmentalists everywhere to invest in green technologies.  The price of oil didn’t help matters at all; I’m sure climate change advocates across the globe were salivating as they watched the price of oil climb to $140+ per barrel.  It certainly seemed that, …

Just in from Anthony Watts’ site (who is a confirmed speaker at this year’s event):  the International Conference on Climate Change will return to New York City on March 8, 2009.  This year’s theme is “Global Warming Crisis: Canceled”.  You can read up on happenings from last year here and here.  While last year’s conference didn’t get a great deal of media attention outside Fox News and some bashing from liberal blogs, there is a continued sense of confidence going into this year’s event as global temperatures continue to fall …

The atmosphere may now contain about 5400 metric tons of greenhouse gases, according to American scientists, and that number may be climbing by 11% per year.  Now, here are my two questions (and thanks, scientists, for letting this cat out of the bag):  one, if greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are 400% more than originally anticipated, why are planetary temperatures plummeting?  And two, if science is able to estimate temperature increases worldwide to within a fraction of a degree, how did you miss that greenhouse gases were 400% what you …

The U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon spoke at Harvard University yesterday, telling those in attendance that climate change is now no longer a theory, but a fact (did Gore ever call it a theory??) and that it’s imperative that nations work together to sign an international treaty to cut greenhouse gas emissions before the expiration of the Kyoto Protocol in 2012.  My only question is this:  did Ban Ki-moon fly from U.N. headquarters in New York to Boston for the event, or did he take a vehicle that doesn’t produce …

A Climate Crisis A La Gore
This week I conclude my interview with Paul Spite, author of A Climate Crisis a la Gore.
Don’t forget - as a special bonus to readers of Skeptics Global Warming, Paul has graciously agreed to give away a free signed copy of his book, A Climate Crisis A La Gore, to one lucky person.  To enter yourself in the random drawing, simply leave a comment at the end of this week’s or last week’s article. One random commenter will be chosen on Tuesday, November 4th.  Leave …

After lambasting the WWF during the last couple of weeks over being a bunch of hypocrites, my post grabbed some attention by someone defending the actions of the WWF.  Apparently, the WWF’s trip-of-a-lifetime for 88 people with cash on a jet to exotic places around the world isn’t exactly hypocritical.  Even if one person on that trip sees what animal species can be saved by conservation, it will be worth it.  But just how many pounds of carbon dioxide will be emitted by that jet during the trip and just …

Al Gore is booked for an engagement at Harvard University on Wednesday of this week for the first University Celebration of Sustainability.  This is the launch of Harvard’s new environmental/green/conservation/cut greenhouse gas initiative.  Speaking of conservation, Al Gore is set to speak in Portland, Oregon this week at a fundraiser for Jeff Merkley, who is running for the Senate.  Just how many pounds of carbon dioxide is Gore going to emit this week traveling back-and-forth across the country?  Well, maybe he’ll learn the true meaning of conservation at the Harvard …

This is a fascinating letter from the Viscount of Monckton of Brenchley to John McCain regarding global warming.  In it, sea level, global temperature, greenhouse gases and glacial melt are all discussed.  This is a very informative read for any of you in doubt about whether or not “man-made” global warming is a fact, or just another political fallacy generated by those who want your money and control over your lives.

Even when climate change can be beneficial, say, because increased carbon dioxide increases crop yield, all news carried by environmentalists is bad.  Anything having anything to do with global warming is bad, period.  There are no positive aspects of a little more warmth and there are no positive impacts to the planet.  None.  Zilch.  Zero.  Nada.  Everything is getting worse every day - and it’s usually reported that things are worse than predicted.  If climate models are so accurate in the prediction of global climate, and things are worse than …

Earlier this year, I told you that college football may never be the same because the Ohio buckeye tree is moving north to Michigan.  On the campus of Ohio University, a huge campaign took place to warn students of the evils of climate change.  Apparently that message spread to Wisconsin as their match-up against the University of Illinois on Saturday, Oct. 25 has been designated a carbon-neutral game.  The university was able to purchase carbon credits to offset any greenhouse gas emissions during the game, made possible by an anonymous …
