The Long Winter of 2010-2011
By Alan Caruba For New Yorkers and those in my part of New Jersey across the river, snow has fallen eight times since December 14, an average of once every five days, 56.1 inches in Central Park as of Jan 27th, and people are, shall we say, taking notice? Along with the snow come power outages, disrupted bus schedules, air travel delays, [...]
The Great ‘Climate Change’ Taxpayer Rip-Off of 2011
By Alan Caruba Unless I am seriously mistaken or misinformed, the rate of unemployment in the U.S. remains high and the foreclosure rate on homes is approaching the level of the Depression years. Two major bond rating companies, Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s just warned that, if the federal government doesn’t stop spending and [...]
National Security Threatened By Global Warming Diseases
Liberty Alerts, Corruption Chronicles Less than a year after a U.S. government report claimed global warming causes mental illness and cancer, intelligence and health officials assert that it will also create a national security threat by spreading disease among people and animals. This extremely “worrisome” consequence of climate [...]
Destroying the Credibility of Science
By Alan Caruba Back in 1990 when I founded The National Anxiety Center as a clearinghouse for information about “scare campaigns” designed to influence public opinion and policy, I was mainly concerned about the torrent of lies about global warming. Their beginning is usually dated to an appearance by James E. Hansen before a [...]
National Debt is now $14 Trillion, the Highest Ever!
By Alan Caruba On Monday, January 3, 2011 the national debt, as calculated by the U.S. Treasury, topped $14 trillion for the first time. Ever! In 2010, the Financial Forecast Center, an independent entity, predicted that the Gross Domestic Product, the value of goods and services, would reach $14.834.1 trillion by October of last year and [...]
ZERO Carbon Emissions Produces Abject Poverty, Sabotages Hope
United National Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties 16 Cathie Adams from Cancún, Mexico Exclusive by Cathie Adams for Eagle Forum The industrialized world needs to realize that the radical environmentalists' demand for a ZERO carbon economy by 2050 is a cruel hoax being perpetrated upon the poor. Succumbing to the [...]
Our Stealth Congress
By Alan Caruba We are living in an era in which our Congress and much of our government operates like a stealth bomber, destroying rights we assume to be protected by the U.S. Constitution and otherwise encumbering an ailing economy in ways known to make it worse. Take, for example, the House passage yesterday of the Dream Act, an end-run [...]
Putting the Lie to Climate “Control”
Anyone who thinks that man controls the climate should take a look at a number of photos taken by a gentleman living in Montana. The photos are featured in an article in the Daily Mail, a London newspaper. Meanwhile, in Cancun, Mexico, thousands of delegates to the latest round of the talks about the UN Kyoto Protocols, demanding limits on [...]
‘Climate Change’ Analysis Now Required
By Phyllis Schlafly A “climate change” analysis is now required for most new projects initiated by the National Forest System, which is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This new rule is now requiring speculation about the project's impact on climate, and inclusion of this speculation in what is called what is called an [...]
The Climate Mafia Gather in Cancun
By Alan Caruba On November 14, 1957, leaders of the American and other Mafia organizations gathered at the home of Joseph “Joe the Barber” Barbara in Apalachin, New York; approximately one hundred Mafiosi from around the United States, Canada, and Italy attended. Up to then, J. Edgar Hoover, the Director of the Federal Bureau of [...]
Climate Change Idiocy and The Economist
By Alan Caruba For a brief period I subscribed to The Economist, the London-based internationally distributed magazine, but I stopped as it became obvious that its editors are idiots and the general purpose of the magazine is to ignore any and all facts that might contradict their obsession with “global warming” and now “climate [...]
November 20, 2009: The Day “Global Warming” Ended
By Alan Caruba November 20, 2009 is an important date because it was the day that “global warming” ended. It was the day that a total fabrication, a hoax, was revealed to be the work of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), aided and abetted by a vast network of governmental and business leaders, a compliant [...]
Goodbye Global Warming, Hello Biodiversity
By Alan Caruba After three decades of trying to push the global warming scam to a point where billions could be made selling and trading bogus “carbon credits”, the global schemers have abandoned it in the wake of 2009 revelations that a handful of rogue climate scientists were literally inventing the data to support it. If there is one [...]
Time to End the Ethanol Rip-Off
By Alan Caruba Psst! Want to avoid $25-to-$30 billion in new deficit spending over the next five years? You do? Okay, then email, fax or call your congressman and tell him you want to let the 45 cents-per-gallon Volumetric Ethanol Tax Credit (VEETC) expire on December 31, 2010. In the same way you want Congress to extend the Bush tax cuts [...]
Is the EPA Trying to Murder the United States?
By Alan Caruba Day after day the news arrives regarding some new announcement by the Environmental Protection Agency that is often so bizarre that it seems a parody of regulation, science, and common sense. Most people don’t have time to pay attention to the cast of characters setting the agency’s agenda but these days that includes the [...]
Journalistic Misfeasance
By Alan Caruba The Gallup Organization has just released the results of a poll that, for the fourth straight year, reveals that the “majority of Americans say they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly. The 57% who now say this is a record high by one percentage point.” Those that do [...]
Why Are Climategate Charlatans Still Free?
By Alan Caruba If I had engaged in activities that involved fleecing the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom of billions in public funds in the name of “climate research”, and it was found that I had manipulated the data to advance the “global warming” hoax, wouldn’t I be facing charges of fraud? Or if the [...]
Cassandra Says It Will Get Very Cold
By Alan Caruba In the Greek myth about Cassandra, she could foresee the future, but no one believed her warnings. Her name is believed to be derived from the words for beauty and the sun. Any number of solar scientists and others are warning that the Earth is on the brink of a new Ice Age at worst, a mini ice age at best. Dr. Achim Brauer [...]
No Science, Fake Science, and the Destruction of the Nation
By Alan Caruba Any scientist who has not sold his soul to the environmental movement will tell you that the reason that greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), do not cause any warming is due to the fact that they have to conform to the laws of thermodynamics. The first law states that “energy can be neither created nor destroyed. [...]
Evangelicals Who Jumped on the “Global Warming” Bandwagon Looking Silly
By Bryan Fischer Some segments of the evangelical community jumped on the “global warming” bandwagon and tried to ride it right into honorary membership in the Ruling Class. Their motive apparently was to get the right people to say wonderful things about them, and in turn give them the opportunity to boast about their new-found access to the [...]
Obama’s Science Adviser: Don’t Call it ‘Global Warming’
(CNSNews.com) - John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, says that the term "global warming" is "a dangerous misnomer” that should be replaced with “global climate disruption." At the Environmental Protection Agency's 40th celebration of the Clean Air Act on Tuesday, Holdren said, "I think [...]
Turning Off the (Incandescent) Light of Liberty
By Alan Caruba What if the government banned air conditioning? What if flat-screen televisions were determined to use too much electricity and were ordered phased out of production? What if the use of all plastic grocery bags were banned? What if the incandescent light bulb, one of the greatest inventions of Thomas Edison in the 1870s was [...]
Global Warming Editorial Gets It Wrong
By Alan Caruba It’s rare to come across a newspaper editorial in which virtually every assertion is false, but is absurdly titled “Face Facts.” Since 1988 the movement behind the global warming fraud has labored long and hard to mislead the citizens of the world to believe what is surely the greatest "science" hoax ever [...]
Carbon Dioxide Riches Disappear
By Alan Caruba The headlines report the way the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been lying and some, myself included, are calling for an end to this snakes’ nest of global deception. I keep waiting for some environmental group to announce that the Earth is running out of oxygen. It’s the kind of huge lie that [...]
The Global Warming Fleecing of American Taxpayers
By Alan Caruba As the BP oil spill slips off the front pages, replaced by daily reports of Lindsey Lohan’s release from jail; as Chelsea Clinton’s marriage is no longer news; as the war in Afghanistan loses traction with the public; and as Barack Obama pauses to review his declining approval rates, it is time once again to ask, whatever [...]
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 if [...]
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 held [...]
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 want [...]
