Continue readingAn Inconvenient Truth is fast becoming Gospel truth, and it’s being passed on to the next generation. Yesterday, as I was listening to Dennis Prager, he asked how many parents have heard from their children that An Inconvenient Truth is being shown at school. I haven’t heard that from my
Continue readingElizabeth Kolbert is The New Yorker‘s most zealous proponent of man-made global warming. It’s such an article of faith with her that she’s gotten lazy. Take the opening paragraph of her “Talk of the Town” comment in the magazine’s latest issue: Except in certain benighted precincts
Continue readingRead Selwyn Duke’s climate change article and, even if it doesn’t change your mind, it still “is to laugh.”
Continue readingYesterday, my children asked “what’s global warming?” Mr. Bookworm launched into the NY Times-approved description of our impact on the climate. I added that, while the planet is definitely warming up, there’s still some debate about how great a contribution people are making to that change. Mr. Bookworm went ballistic,

When I checked just now, the most emailed story was an AP story entitled “Scientists okay Gore’s movie
Continue readingI was reading the latest Greenhouse news report (earth hotter than it's been 400 years), and was all prepared to blog about that. Then, I discovered that my WordPress was down. So, I read around a bit more and discovered that The Anchoress has already said what I planned to
