Scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego published a paper in the journal Nature Thursday which put a huge hole in the manmade global warming theory espoused by soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. As reported by the Associated Press (emphasis added): Huge haze clouds over the Indian Ocean contribute as much to atmospheric…

As if the scam of global warming isn't enough, the mythical manmade malady is now being used as part of an e-mail spam campaign likely to free concerned environmentalists of their hard-earned dollars. Of course, as reported by NewsBusters Wednesday, it's not in the least bit difficult to con these folks to begin with. As such, authorities better squelch this Internet scheme quickly, or Al…

There appears to now be a double-secret, international competition to figure out new planetary ills that can somehow be tied - regardless of the seeming inanity - to manmade global warming. This announcement out of Toronto could be the best yet: a warmer climate is causing stray cats - no, not Brian Setzer and the boys - to mate more frequently thereby resulting in an explosion in furry, feral…

On a regular basis, anthropogenic global warming skeptics wonder how folks like soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore and his band of not so merry climate change sycophants can so easily get seemingly intelligent people to buy their junk science hook, line, and sinker. With this in mind, the comedy duo of Penn and Teller set out to see whether they could get people at an Earth Day rally called "WorldFest" to…

Climate change alarmism met the infamous Oil for Food scam at the United Nations Tuesday.As a result, if you had any questions regarding why the U.N. has been the point-man on driving global warming hysteria throughout America and around the world, they were all answered. In fact, the genie was let out of the proverbial bottle by this Reuters headline: "U.N. Climate Change Meeting Aims at…

As NewsBusters reported Monday, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-California) was quoted in an Orange County Register article as saying about a recent trip by Senators to investigate Greenland's glaciers, "I think everyone who has seen this is changed." On Tuesday, the Washington Post reported: "There is absolutely no disagreement that the greenhouse gas emissions are adding to climate change and global…

What is it about Democrat Congresswomen from California that gives them the ability to actually see global warming? I'm not sure of the answer, but am positive that for the second time in about two months, a high-ranking Democrat from California went to Greenland, and actually saw global warming. To refresh everyone's memory, the first was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who in late May claimed to…

By now, you've likely heard about the floods in England, and how the media believe them to be caused by global warming. However, have you heard about the cold snap in Peru that has already killed 70 children? You haven't? Well, how could you? After all, no American media outlet has felt it to be newsworthy. Yet, the following was reported by the BBC on Wednesday, and, as amazing as it might…

As NewsBusters has reported, American media have been relaying to the citizenry that the recent floods in England are caused by - what else? - manmade global warming. Addressing such nonsense Friday was London-based geological-, biological-, and political-history researcher Don Stewart. In an article published at PR-GB.com, Stewart mocked the hysteria surrounding England's floods, and…

The war over climate change got much hotter Friday, so much so that anthropogenic global warming skeptics who have claimed that there is a huge number of scientists staying silent about this issue to protect their careers may have been validated. As NewsBusters previously reported, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Stephen Johnson, was apprised by Sen. James Inhofe (R-…

Well, sports fans, the tale of the threatening global warming e-mail message took an interesting turn Friday morning when a representative from the American Council on Renewable Energy sent a message to yours truly containing a response from ACORE President Michael T. Eckhart. As NewsBusters reported here and here, Eckhart sent the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Dr. Marlo Lewis an e-…
