Settle down greens: Things are getting better thanks to capitalism

Written by Max Borders, Washington Examiner | 02 September 2010

Now most of my green friends aren’t taking hostages at television studios. But many of them have read their Daniel Quinn, which is - as my friend Ron Bailey describes it - “Malthusian Twaddle.”

And most greens think the world is going to hell in a hand basket. When I throw away a plastic bottle, they look at me like I just shot a spotted owl. It’s almost pathological.

Two Crazy Greens

Written by Alan Caruba, Warning Signs | 02 September 2010

Dr. John P. Holdren

For a few hours on Wednesday the nation’s attention was on James J. Lee who took hostages at the Discovery Communications headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. Negotiations failed to sway him from his mission or free his hostages. Lee was a Green zealot and police were left with no alternative than to shoot Lee dead.

Silencing global warming critics

Written by Russell Cook, American Thinker | 26 August 2010

"See, I told you so..."

The Warmists are at it again, attempting to manipulate media coverage of global warming, in a manner reminiscent of JournoList members attempting to downplay troublesome Obama stories in the 2008 election. The is not the first time for such media manipulation, either.

Blaming climate skeptics for green failures is convenient but wrong

Written by Paul Wornham, Environmental Policy Examiner | 25 August 2010

It’s not been easy being green since the revelations of Climategate and mounting evidence that the science behind man’s influence on climate change is far from accurate, let alone settled. No wonder then that many greens chose to vent their frustration at skeptics and blame their ideological opponents for their troubles.

Gore declares "Movement We Need" Is "Down Under"

Written by James Heiser, New American | 23 August 2010

Environmentalism’s prophet of doom, former Vice President Al Gore, has finally found “The Movement We Need.”

This movement is located in Australia, and Gore would like to transplant it in the United States.

Here is what he says about it on his blog, under the title “The Movement We Need”:

The New “Skeptical Science” Website: What is Going On Here?

Written by John Droz Jr, MasterResource | 13 August 2010

This screencap from Skeptical Science's main header should be a tip off that it has nothing to do with science.

I was recently informed of a website called “Skeptical Science” run by a Mr. John Cook. As a scientist (physicist), I decided to check it out to see what I could learn. I started with the assumption that Mr. Cook was a competent and well-intentioned person. After some looking around there, here’s what I found out and concluded.

The first red flag is the fact that Science (by definition) is skeptical, so why the repetition in the name? It’s something like naming a site “The attractive fashion model”.

Attack of the Jellyfish! Blame Global Warming!

Hundreds of swimmers on Spain's holiday beaches have been stung by swarms of jellyfish that have swept along the Costa Blanca.

At least 700 people have complained of being stung since Sunday - 380 alone on Tuesday.

Normally just a handful of swimmers are stung every day.

Michael “Hockey Stick” Mann hides atop the climate change ivory tower

Written by Scott Ott, Daily Caller | 25 July 2010

Mann oh mann

Shortly after climate scientist Michael “Hockey Stick” Mann got word that a panel of his Penn State colleagues had cleared him of misconduct in the so-called “climategate” scandal, Prof. Mann was quoted in the British media as saying he believed that his little graph had gained undue attention.

The 'Climategate' travesty

Written by Melanie Phillips, Spectator | 16 July 2010

Even in these intellectually debauched times, is hard to credit the cynical and brazenly corrupt farce of the ‘investigations’ into the ‘Climategate’ email scandal centred around East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit. The UK inquiry, led by former British civil servant Muir Russell, astonishingly cleared this group of scientists who have played such a key role in promoting anthropogenic global warming theory of virtually all accusations of wrongdoing.

Climategate and the Big Green Lie

Written by Clive Crook, The Atlantic | 14 July 2010

Mann is asked if the allegations (well, one of them) are true, and says no. His record is swooned over. Verdict: case dismissed, with apologies that Mann has been put to such trouble.

Mann is asked if the allegations…are true, and says no. His record is swooned over. Verdict: case dismissed, with apologies that Mann has been put to such trouble.

By way of preamble, let me remind you where I stand on climate change. I think climate science points to a risk that the world needs to take seriously. I think energy policy should be intelligently directed towards mitigating this risk. I am for a carbon tax. I also believe that the Climategate emails revealed, to an extent that surprised even me (and I am difficult to surprise), an ethos of suffocating groupthink and intellectual corruption. The scandal attracted enormous attention in the US, and support for a new energy policy has fallen. In sum, the scientists concerned brought their own discipline into disrepute, and set back the prospects for a better energy policy.

Climategate: Beyond inquiry panels

Written by Swaminathan S Anklesaria Aiyar, Economic Times | 14 July 2010

Mann-handling the data.

Two British committees, one Dutch committee and a US Senate committee have investigated Climategate — the disclosure from emails that scientists at the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of East Anglia University sought to withhold data from and sabotage research publications of other scientists questioning the conventional wisdom on global warming.
