Global Warming

From June: 'No ice at the North Pole,' to January: 'Sea Ice Ends Year at Same Level as 1979' No pairing of any two stories better illustrates the child-like alarmism of global warming religionists than these two stories. The first from June of 2008 claims that all the ice at the North Pole has melted and will be gone for the first time ever, while the second shows that by January of 2009 the…

Climate realists around the world have contended for years that the real goal of alarmists such as Nobel Laureate Al Gore and his followers is to use the fear of man-made global warming to redistribute wealth.On Monday, one of Gore's leading scientific resources, Goddard Institute for Space Studies chief James Hansen, sent a letter to Barack and Michelle Obama specifically urging the president-…

As soon as your humble correspondent flipped on the TV set this New Year morning, he heard an MSNBC report about record levels of snowfall that just hit the Pacific Northwest. Checking around the web, it turns out that other parts of the country were also hit with record levels of snowfall. Here are a few of the reports starting with this one in the Green Bay Press Gazette  (emphasis mine):…

It's the end of another year, but before 2008 is finally consigned to the ash heap of history, let's spend just a few more minutes reviewing some of the goofiest media moments of the past 12 months. A great deal has already been written here at NewsBusters about the Media Research Center's Best Notable Quotables of 2008, with much mocking of "Quote of the Year" winner Chris Matthews for the…

Did you need any more proof that climate alarmism is indeed an environmental religion?The Church of England has invested 150 million pounds with Generation Investment Management, the green fund started by Nobel Laureate Al Gore.Can I get a "Hallelujah" ladies and gentlemen?As reported by Religious Intelligence News Tuesday:

Well, it seems that the folks at Vanity Fair realized that they won't have George W. Bush to kick around any more. So they decided to launch the journalistic equivalent of thermonuclear war against him in an attempt to get its shot at a "draft of history." In a 14 web-page tome (the photo at the top right is at its beginning) that fancies itself an "oral history," the magazine hauls out every…

Can you imagine a major American newspaper publishing the headline "2008 Was the Year Man-made Global Warming Was Disproved?"No...neither can I.Yet, supporting the view that foreign press outlets are more willing to present both sides of this debate, the British Telegraph published a piece Saturday most climate alarmists on this side of the Atlantic would never dare:

First it's Christmas lights, now it's Christmas dinner...causing global warming.Yep. People who cook more than their guests will eat and throw the food away are destroying the planet.I'm not kidding.ABCNews.com in Australia reported the following absurdity on Christmas Eve:

Here's an announcement that will please atheists and climate alarmists alike: Christmas lights are bad for the planet because they cause global warming.So says the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Australia's national science agency.  Bah humbug, I kid you not. As reported by the Courier and Mail this Christmas Eve:

'Tis the season ... to be green. No, not even the traditions of Christmas are immune to the efforts of global warming activism. No, it's not Al Gore's, "How Greenhouse Gases Stole Christmas," but a children's story is pushing a similar green agenda. The recently published book by Anne Margaret Lewis called "Santa Goes Green" is about a boy who writes Santa and asks him to help raise awareness…

Is there no depth the global warming fear-mongers won't go to scare the public into believing carbon dioxide is destroying the planet?Apparently not, as a new ad by the environmental group Greenpeace disgracefully depicts an ocean rescue of a seasick and vomiting Santa Claus from a supposedly melting North Pole.As the animation comes to a close, the caption "Climate Change hits everybody" fills…

The liberal mind never ceases to amaze me.Our nation is experiencing record snows and cold spells, and Air America host Thom Hartmann actually told his audience Friday:What we are seeing in this cold, that has me trapped in my house here today, is that, what we are seeing is a symptom of global warming. But you wouldn't know that from the crazies on the right.Speaking of lunacy, Hartmann was so…
