The Union of Concerned Propagandists
By Alan Caruba On July 11, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) announced that it had launched “a national advertising campaign as part of a broader effort to showcase the dedication and personal histories of scientists studying climate change.” I know quite a few climatologists and meteorologists and the ones I know have been [...]
When Bad Science Makes Bad Laws — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba You may have noticed that the mainstream media has virtually dropped “global warming” as a topic worth reporting. That can be traced to “Climategate”, the November 2009 leak of emails that revealed the global hoax perpetrated on us by a small group of scientists who had been generating false information about the [...]
Cap and Trade Nation Killer — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba There are many reasons why the Cap-and-Trade Act will harm the future of the nation, but among the worst is that it is entirely based on a lie. The very worst, however, is that it is a nation killer. Cap-and-Trade is intended to set up a trade scheme in “carbon credits” that is estimated to be worth a trillion dollars [...]
Refusing to Report the Truth — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba I attended the first two International Climate Change Conferences when they were held in New York City, but a change of venue to the hometown of The Heartland Institute, Chicago, was enough to discourage someone like myself who no longer enjoys travel of any kind for any reason. The most recent Heartland conference was [...]
When Idiots Join Hands — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba After the June 23 Cabinet meeting, President Obama said: “We talked about energy. In the context of the oil spill, as I said last week during my Oval Office address, this has to be a wakeup call to the country that we are prepared and ready to move forward on a new energy strategy that the American people desperately [...]
Heads Should Roll — Caruba
By Alan Caruba The only person who has been fired in the midst of the oil spill fiasco has been the former head of the Minerals Management Service of the Department of the Interior. According to a June 17 editorial in The Wall Street Journal, it is now clear that both the Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, and the White House energy [...]
June 17, 2009: A World Afloat on an Ocean of Oil
By Alan Caruba Considering how much untapped oil is known to exist, not just in the United States, but worldwide, one would think that its current price was some kind of anomaly and it is. It is more the result of speculation than anything else. The most fundamental fact about oil worldwide is that there is lots of it. Though frequently [...]
A Congress that is Immune to Facts and Truth — Caruba
By Alan Caruba Here’s what we know about “global warming.” There isn’t any. The only warming that has occurred has been the entirely natural warming that occurred when the Little Ice Age ended around 1850. By contrast, the Earth has been cooling for the past decade. Warming and cooling cycles are well known to climatologists who [...]
These Are NOT Your Friends — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba June 10, - An email from Friends of the Earth Dear Friend, We're happy to report that, just minutes ago, the Senate voted down a proposal that would kneecap the most important federal tool to reduce climate-destabilizing pollution, the Clean Air Act. Thanks in no small part to the more than 30,000 Friends of the [...]
Al and Tipper Gore in Splitsville — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba For anyone who has followed Al Gore’s Green Brick Road to the land of Global Warming, there has to be more than a bit of schadenfreude---taking pleasure in other’s misfortunes---on hearing the news that he and his wife of forty years, Tipper, have separated. However, that feeling is fleeting for reasons that have to do with [...]
Stop the EPA from Imposing Cap-and-Tax!
Liberty Alerts, Eagle Forum Action Alert Because patriotic Americans like you rose up to oppose the job-killing, energy rationing Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade legislation last summer (which narrowly passed the House by a vote of 219 to 212, Roll Call 477) and effectively stalled this legislation in the U.S. Senate, President Obama is [...]
Reject the EPA Power Grab Over Our Economy!
Liberty Alerts, JBS.org Freedom Campaign UPDATE, May 25, 2010: The Senate vote on Senator Murkowski's S.J.Res. 26 is now expected the week of June 7. "This week, the U.S. Senate is expected to vote on a “resolution of disapproval,” sponsored by Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, to stop the U.S. Environmental Protection [...]
Energy Policy? What Energy Policy? — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba When the government controls the provision of energy, it controls the lives of all citizens and the growth or failure of the nation’s economy. Everything else, including national defense, runs second when it comes to this single factor. Recently the fourth annual survey of more than a hundred executives in the U.S. and [...]
“Deniers” Meet and the Media Ignores Them…Again — Caruba
By Alan Caruba “Denial” is not a river in Africa, nor is it a proper term for the legion of climatologists, meteorologists, geologists, and others like myself who have devoted decades to debunking the utter rubbish called “global warming.” So toxic has the term become, the charlatans pushing the fraud have long since abandoned it [...]
You Read it Here First: CO2 to be Blamed for Global Cooling
by Bryan Fischer It is becoming increasingly clear that we are likely headed into a prolonged period of global cooling, due to the cooling of the eastern Pacific Ocean and the lowest level of solar activity in decades. The Pacific Decadal Oscilliation (PDO), which alternates from warmer to cooler water temperatures every 25-30 [...]
The US Government is Pushing Climate Change like a Drug
By Alan Caruba We all know that heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamines are addictive drugs that do a great deal of harm to those addicted to them, but the U.S. government has been pushing global warming, now called climate change, to addict Americans to the belief that the Earth is threatened when it is not. Climate change is what has [...]
Cap-and-Trade: A $cam Based on a Scam — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba It is almost beyond comprehension that Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) will introduce the Cap-and-Trade Act on Wednesday, May 12th, for consideration by the Senate. It is being passed off as a “climate bill” with provisions for more oil drilling, but it is an assault on reality, on science, on [...]
Global Warming Causes Mental Illness, Cancer
Judicial Watch, Corruption Chronicles Global warming could lead to a worldwide increase in mental illness and cancer, according to a new U.S. government report calling for more public funding to further study one of the “most visible environmental concerns of the 21st century.” Government scientists from several [...]
Cap-and-Trade Treason — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba If you thought that the way the Obama administration and its cohort of Democrats in Congress rammed through the takeover of the nation’s healthcare system was appalling, prepare to watch the same process applied to Cap-and-Trade. Your government no longer represents you, the voter, the citizen. Cap-and-Trade (H.R. 2454) [...]
What will your children be learning on Earth Day?
by Phyllis Schlafly The Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) launches its latest campaign, Balanced Education for Everyone (BEE) to encourage parents to take control of their children’s education, especially when it comes to alarmist global warming indoctrination. “Parents need to ask their children’s teachers, ‘What are you doing for [...]
Wild Women Cause Earthquakes — T.F. Stern
By T.F. Stern, Last week we learned that melting glaciers caused a volcano to erupt , a sterling example of Man Made Global Warming being blamed for everything under the sun. Today there’s news out of Beirut; promiscuous women are to blame for earthquakes . “Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their [...]
Eight Crucial Months — Phil Brennan
Perspectives With Phil Brennan Informed Views from Outside the Beltway The November Congressional elections are roughly seven months away, with the end of the year 2009 coming a month later.

Global Warming Murder-Suicide: Why Didn’t Al Gore Save Them?
by Dennis Behreandt At last we have incontrovertible proof that global warming is indeed dangerous. In Buenos Aires, the Latin American Herald Tribune reports that "a 7-month-old baby survived alone for three days with a bullet wound in its chest beside the bodies of its parents and brother, who died in an apparent suicide pact brought on [...]
Our Warrior Class, and Several American Wars
By Alan Caruba I come from a generation, just as several before it, that was drafted into military service. The Draft, conscription, goes back to the days of the Civil War and, before that, it was understood that able-bodied men would serve in militias. After the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941, many American men lined up around [...]
Frustration that No One is Listening
By Alan Caruba "'There is an overall sense of frustration that no one is listening,'" pollster Scott Rasmussen said about a problem that has plagued the political party in power for decades." – Washington Times, April 2, 2010, "Independent voters turn from hopeful to angry." The article examines the way Obama has lost the support of [...]
Drill Here, Drill Now, Despite Obamas Lies
By Alan Caruba The Obama administration announcement that it intends to lift the ban on offshore exploration and drilling came as a big surprise, albeit a welcome one. In an early March editorial The Washington Times noted that, “Within a month of taking office in 2009, Mr. Salazar (Secretary of the Interior) froze drilling leases [...]
Destroying America with the EPA’s Carbon Lies
By Alan Caruba Lisa Jackson, Obama’s EPA director, has just announced the agency’s new auto regulations of gas mileage based on global warming. In addition, the agency asserts the right to regulate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions under the Clean Air Act. There is absolutely no scientific justification for this and, indeed, many [...]
The Next Enemy of the State is Energy — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba Despite a significant majority of Americans who opposed the healthcare bill, despite protests heard by members of Congress starting in the summer of 2009, despite a huge protest rally in Washington, D.C. in September, despite having the phones and faxes of Congress jammed with protests, the bill passed the House on March 21 [...]
Global Warming Is Earth Worship — Phyllis Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly Recently I told you how the distinguished president of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, stated that global warming is not a matter of temperature or climate change, but is in fact a new religion. Some distinguished American scholars have now declared themselves in agreement with this analysis. For example, the [...]
Utter Dependence — Phil Brennan
Perspectives With Phil Brennan Informed Views from Outside the Beltway Throughout most of the day, this past Monday, March 15, unless you had my cellphone number, I was unreachable. My phone service, my internet connection including my television service and my cell phone were all out. I couldn't get e-mail. Only my radio worked. I [...]
