The "scientific consensus"

If you're not a subscriber to the online edition of The Wall Street Journal, then you may want to pick up a copy of Monday's paper at your local newsstand for this article by Richard S. Lindzen -- a professor of atmospheric science at MIT. The headline should do it for you: "There is no […]

Save the whales!

Or do you global-warming scaremongers want more of them to die! Global warming has made life harder for some wildlife species, but it may be providing a temporary boost to the health and population of Pacific gray whales. The number of gray whale calves migrating this spring along the West Coast increased by 8 percent […]

Help me out on this one

We've got more global-warming scaremongering out today. It has been 2,000 years and possibly much longer since Earth has run such a fever. The National Academy of Sciences, reaching that conclusion in a broad review of scientific work requested by Congress, reported Thursday that the "recent warmth is unprecedented for at least the last 400 […]

Weather or climate change?

ABC News is asking Joe Public to send them anecdotal "evidence" of global warming. This is even more hilarious than Al Gore's famous speech on global warming delivered in New York City on one of the coldest days ever on record, because what ABC News is really asking for is for evidence of warm weather, […]

Humanity's arrogance

If you've read Michael Crichton's novel "Jurassic Park," then the first few pages are probably something that stuck with you. Charlton Heston read them for Rush Limbaugh's radio show several years ago and when you combine Crichton's words with Heston's voice -- wow! Anyway, the introduction talks about the arrogance of scientists and their belief […]

Al Gore and carbon dioxide

Al Gore's new "documentary" has earned $389,000 at the box office at the time of this posting. "An Inconvenient Truth" is a warning about the "evil" of carbon dioxide and the "fact" that Hollywood liberals in their private planes are causing the Earth to turn into a sauna. If you've read Hoystory for any period […]

Endangered Species Act

Earlier this week the Union-Tribune published a front-page article that used the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's refusal to list the California spotted owl as an endangered species as a news hook to hit at the Bush administration for listing fewer species than previous administrations. It's not until after the jump that you get a […]

Back to the North Pole

Courtesy of OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto, we have this hilarious story of a couple of Greenpeace enviro-wackos trying to make a point about global warming. Two U.S. explorers plan to start a four-month summer expedition to the North Pole next month to gather information on the habitat of an animal they believe could be the first […]

Numbers

I got this week's Time magazine in the mail today. One of the interesting factoids that jumped out at me is on Page 18 -- the first two numbers highlight the state of global warming. 58.3 degress: Global average surface temperature, in Fahrenheit, in 2005 -- the hottest year on record. 10,000: Years since the […]
