One-sided and overwhelmingly biased coverage of climate change wasn’t enough for the news industry publication Columbia Journalism Review. On Dec. 1, CJR contributing editor Cristine Russell actually claimed “climate change has often languished in news coverage ...”

The matter of renewable “energy” sources is certain to be part of Paris summit negotiations, since they are an essential part of the goal of lowering carbon emissions. Ahead of the Paris meeting, one British Labor Party politician argued for a “zero” emissions target, rather than already discussed severe 80-percent cuts. However, the proponents of such cuts rarely acknowledge they are an…

Some people just can’t take a hint. Like George Soros, for example. On Nov. 20, the liberal billionaire’s Open Society Foundations and Open Society Institute were banned from operating in Russia, according to CNBC. Although this “troubled” the U.S. State Department, it’s nothing new. Soros’ Open Society Institute was previously kicked out of Moscow twelve years ago. But don’t expect the media…

The climate conference in Paris hadn’t even begun, before climate alarmists were warning a far more stringent emissions agreement was necessary.

Certain types of energy are certain targets for the 190 governments’ representatives gathering in Paris this week  and from green activists surrounding the melee.

ExxonMobil is one of the big oil companies the liberal news media love to hate, even though the company now says climate change is a threat and promotes carbon taxation. Even that’s not enough. That negative view of ExxonMobil explains why recent news coverage of an investigation against the company was so thoroughly one-sided.

The Guardian’s latest installment of climate activism makes it seem more like a sad literary digest rather than a sad news outlet. And it brought in celebrities like actor James Franco to help. In March 2015, The Guardian first launched its anti-fossil fuel campaign called “Keep it in the Ground.” The campaign, which began with a petition to pressure the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation into…

The media’s disdain for groups that challenge apocalyptic views on climate change is often evident, but on Nov. 17, even The Washington Post realized it went too far.

Environmental activists are organizing the “largest Disobedient Action Adventure Game” for “climate justice” later this month.
