A largely symbolic hour where Climate Astrologers get to feel good about turning their lights out for one hour while being big “carbon hogs” for the rest of the year….um, wait, this “spreading awareness” and feel-good campaign is actually worse?

Yeah, this is the same guy who owns a massive McMansion with a giant “carbon footprint” as he pushes for Other People to be forced onto mass transit (NY Times) And the thing is that these are externalities that everyone can see. You can deny global warming (and may you be punished in the afterlife […]

This op-ed piece came the day before the NY Times editorial board decided to say they can’t support Keystone (via The Hockey Schtick and James Taranto) No to Keystone. Yes to Crazy. I HOPE the president turns down the Keystone XL oil pipeline. (Who wants the U.S. to facilitate the dirtiest extraction of the dirtiest […]

Now, if only the big wigs at the NY Times would reduce their own “carbon footprint” by turning the heat down to 50 degrees during the winter and up to 80 during the summer…better yet, why not simply turn the heat/AC systems off and open the windows?….along with reducing all fossil fueled Times travel, including […]

We’re fast approaching yet another Earth Hour, where climate astrologers turn their lights out for a whopping 60 minutes (out of 525,949 a year), on March 23rd. These tend to be the same people who were freaking out over enforced earth hours after storms like Superstorm Sandy, the Derecho, and others. One would think they […]

(NY Times) Scientists say that if natural factors were still governing the climate, the Northern Hemisphere would probably be destined to freeze over again in several thousand years. “We were on this downward slope, presumably going back toward another ice age,†Dr. Marcott said. Instead, scientists believe the enormous increase in greenhouse gases […]

Well, the editorial board doesn’t specifically call the climate astrologers idiots, but, it’s implies it Environmentalists are fighting the wrong battles Really, they’ve been fighting the wrong battles for over 20 years. Instead of dealing with real environmental issues and wisely pushing for cost effective alternative energy, they’ve been hysterical and wrapping every real issue […]
