AGW Today: Solar Panel Fines, Summer Idiots, And Bigfoot

As people put up solar panels, whether for the energy savings or because they are barking moonbat climate changers, they could run in to a wee bit of a problem  Solar energy customers are worried a new fee proposed by Xcel Energy would punish new customers for getting solar panels.  The monthly fee, which would […]

AGW Today: Carbon Credits Now Fraud Targets

Of course, this might be redundant, since the whole AGW movement is a fraud HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has recently uncovered what is thought to be the first attempted UK tax fraud in the carbon emissions trading market. The tax dodge is a variation of the “carousel” VAT fraud. Carousel fraud, also known as […]

AGW Today: It’s All About The Exaggeration And Bad Wishes

Last week, Conor Clarke at The Atlantic had an interview with Nobel Prize-winning economist Thomas Schelling, and look at what Schelling said regarding the anthropogenic global warming movement (via Tom Nelson) …And what I don’t know is whether Americans are really willing to understand that and do anything for the benefit of the unborn Chinese. It’s a […]

FiveThirtyEight Throws Out An AGW Challenge

Over at FiveThirtyEight, True Believer Nate Silver is a wee bit upset about something John Hinderaker wrote about the cool period in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which John compared to the Year Without A Summer (1816,) which, yes, is a stretch. Nate goes to lengths to point out that the average temperature has been pretty much right […]

Could They Be Wrong On Anthropogenic Global Warming?

Well, now that the USA Today asks, yes. There is no doubt that global warming has occured. The Little Ice Age ended because of a warming planet.

AGW Today: Losers, Compromise, And Censored EPA Report

Who were the losers in the cap and tax bill? Anyone who pays an electric bill would likely feel the impact of climate legislation. Utilities will try to raise rates as they invest in cleaner-yet-more-expensive energy sources. Some have already announced plans to do so. Petroleum companies also may try to import more of their refined gas […]

Boehner on Speaker Pelosi’s National Energy Tax: “I Have Never Seen Anything This Ridiculous”

Time and time again, I and others have pointed out that the whole anthropogenic global warming silliness is not about “saving the planet from mankind,” but about control. People might have believed in it a bit more if the people who pushed it the hardest weren’t the worst CO2 offenders, but, regardless, let’s ask John […]

AGW Today: Sun Spots And Settled Science

Resisting yet another Obama post (this time, the NY Times gently calls him a liar). It’s difficult. Guy gives a constant stream of copy. So, let’s jump into the realm of global warming hysteria, shall we? First up, the Sun, that big ball of nuclear fire that, according to most Climahysterics, can’t possibly have anything to […]
