Daily Herald – IN OUR VIEW: Climate plan is business poison A week ago Utah joined in announcing a plan to fight global warming — but the real danger lies in cooling: the cooling of the world’s climate, and the chilly outlook for the state’s economy. The Western Climate Initiative has trumpeted a cap-and-trade system to cut carbon emissions and thus fight “greenhouse gasses.” Joining the Beehive State in the proposal are six other Western states and four Canadian provinces. In cap-and-trade pr

Oklahoma Kindergartners write book — ‘Our Class Is Going Green’
The greenest generation? | csmonitor.com How did this happen? Most poll results I’ve looked at suggest that, the younger you are, the more receptive of environmental messages you’re likely to be. For instance, in May, a Pew research survey found that 54 percent of Americans under age 30 believe in manmade global warming, compared with only 37 percent of those ages 65 and older. Another example: A 2007 survey conducted by Yale’s Center for Environmental Law and Policy asked whether “America is i

CARBON FOOTPRINT, What Size Do You Have?
CARBON FOOTPRINT, What Size Do You Have? Our Carbon Footprint is the direct impact our actions and lifestyle have on the environment in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. CO2 increases greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. As a whole, the entire human race is leaving one, mega-sized Carbon Footprint on the Earth. Carbon Footprints are
Biomass Boilers – Traditional and Eco-friendly
The talk about climate change, global warming and green technology is peppered with many buzz words and injected with a lot of hype. When asked about the first thing that springs to mind in relation to clean technology, most people would say solar panels or wind turbines. Although these technologies are robust and credible, most people seem to forget or ignore a much simpler type of energy generation. Heat generation through wood burning is as ancient as it gets. However modern wood burning stov

As we deal with the latest panic . . .
. . . it would be instructive to note the demise of the last one (”global warming”). From Investor’s Business Daily via NRO – Planet Gore: The four major agencies tracking Earth’s temperature, including NASA’s Goddard Institute, report that the Earth cooled 0.7 degree Celsius in 2007, the fastest decline in the age of instrumentation, putting us back to where the Earth was in 1930. What we should see are a bunch of lefty alarmists thoughtfully rethinking their previous statements. What we will
Third-World Countries Beat with the Carbon Stick
Third-world countries are being lectured about reducing carbon emissions, even though their often times fragile industry is still in its infancy. Some countries in the third world are fighting back, though, as evidenced in India. From the article: The Indian government’s National Action Plan on Climate Change looked for evidence of harm to India from global warming. Its scientists found none. It also looked for man-made causes. Still no evidence. “No firm link between the changes [to India’s

The Global Warming Myth is Tied to Genocide?
(Via Pete’s Place). Just how did the global warming myth begin? It all started at Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, United States in 1975. Scientists needed a way to keep population growth in check and, out of that conference 33 years ago, the global warming hoax was born. Read the PDF linked up below for a four-page document on how, supposedly, the climate crisis was born.

Burke’s law
Peter, I always enjoy hearing Burke’s admonition that a member of parliament owes his constituents his judgment rather than a spasmodic jerk to the latest opinion poll. But isn’t it the case that we’re in this mess because US politicians previously subordinated ‘the general reason of the whole’ to ‘local interests’ and ‘local prejudices’? That’s to say, with their usual casual destructiveness dressed up in the baby talk of ‘diversity’, they chose to turn the mortgage industry into just another b
