The Law Of Unintended Liberal Policy Consequences has once again struck with a vengeance Sweden, that sustainability superstar, really prides itself on being “green.” It is one of the few countries to decouple CO2 emissions from economic growth. It has switched a huge portion of its heating away from fossil fuels (district heating). It’s the […]

This one’s a hoot: A Graphic Video Demonstration of Life After The Kunstlerian Decline of a World Dependent on Oil (and if someone could tell me what a “Kunstlerian Decline” actually is, that would be great, since the only occurrence of that phrase is linked to this same Treehugger story). Unfortunately, there is little to […]

Your Friday clima-stupidity, the day the comedy MAY die Rod Quantock says the art of making people laugh is part of Melbourne’s identity, but global warming could see off the fun. “Because of climate change, in 25 years, we won’t have a comedy festival,” Quantock said. “The money that we need for comedy festival will […]

The headline at Grist is an attention grabber: Maybe no one cares about climate change because we’re wired for extinction. Yet, the article doesn’t really support that, as George Black goes on a tear that our brains are wired wrong In my unending (and thus far, I have to confess, largely fruitless) attempts to figure […]

You must change your lifestyle by government decree A new “politics driven” diplomatic approach is required to tackle global warming, the Foreign Office’s special representative for climate change said yesterday. Speaking to a packed audience at Chatham House, John Ashton described climate change as a “ticking clock”, arguing for binding international agreements to cut emissions […]

Look, let me start off again by saying I am not against rail systems. When I lived in NJ, my friends and I would typically take the train into NYC, either from the Manasquan, Holmdel, or Hoboken, and would take the subway around in NYC (though it’s fun to walk around and see the sites, […]

And people wonder why I’m now calling them “climate morons?” We’ve all read about polar bears forced by fast-melting arctic sea ice to swim for their lives. That’s a far away dream for most. A black bear sleeping in a Wisconsin back yard, in the middle of February, however, is an indicator of oncoming change. […]

So, all the climate morons are going ga-ga over a new report that links extreme rain (what we used to simply call “rain”) to globull warming. But, does it really? Global warming helped drive a rise in the intensity of extreme rain and snowfall across much of the Northern Hemisphere during the last half of […]

Treehugger brings the funny deranged, based on a funny deranged story from the conservative leaning Politico on Tuesday….wait, “conservative?” There’s really no rational way a human can dispute the fact that the vast majority of the world’s scientists believe that greenhouse gas emissions generated by man are warming the climate. It’s one of the most […]

Sea rise is so dangerous, and so prevalent, that the climate morons have to…….fake it, because they can’t find the real thing! (via Steven Goddard) Want a glimpse of what a warmer world with higher sea level might look like? A local environmental group is asking Orange County residents to help them create that dramatic […]
