So much for honesty and transparency (of course it was never so, especially when ObamaCare was rammed through after backdoor deals). Turns out the White House edited a report about the moratorium on offshore oil drilling to make it appear that scientists supported the idea of a six-month ban on new drilling. No doubt this [...]

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan promised that his department would use federally subsidized school programs (read: taxpayer dollars) beginning as early as kindergarten to teach children about climate change and prepare them “to contribute to the workforce through green jobs.”
“Right now, in the second decade of the 21st century, preparing our children to be good [...]

James Lee, the eco-extremist at Discovery Channel’s Maryland headquarters, was armed with guns and several bombs at the Silver Springs facility where he took three hostages. Turns out he was “awakened” by Al Gore’s grand work of fiction “An Inconvenient Truth.” This story ironically emerges as the establishment media constantly warns of alleged ‘right-wing’ violence.

The so-called Livable Communities Act is top-down central planning scheme designed to change where we live and work, and how we travel. Bureaucrats in the Environmental Protection Agency, Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Transportation will oversee this Soviet-style social engineering.
It’s worrisome to witness the growing historical parallels between today’s Democratic Party and [...]

From an article at the National Association of Scholars, children are turning into green zombies in order:
To prepare them for their role in unleashing eco-revolution, schools around the country are teaching students, beginning with the very young, to live a lifestyle centered on “sustainability.” …According to a poll by Habitat Heroes, 1 in 3 American [...]

Oil Spill: Environmentalists Ultimately To Blame for Containment Difficulty

by SteveK @ Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010. Tags: , , , , ,
Filed under Culture, Economics, Environment, Government

Oil spills will happen occasionally, so is it better to have it happen on land (or in shallow waters) or in very deep offshore locations?
As environmentalists keep hindering domestic oil extraction (and make us ever more dependent on foreign sources), energy companies have to drill farther and father out to satisfy the unreasonable demands of [...]

Environmental devotees of so-called climate change, or global warming, are now scrambling to issue some bit of truth after being exposed for their serial deceptions. Currently they are saying that 15 years of no warming does not constitute a trend. Fair enough.
However, if the science behind man-made warming is as rock-solid as they claim, then [...]

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was recently forced to retract its position on melting Himalayan glaciers due to lack of scientific evidence.
A team of scientist behind the bogus report, lead by Dr Murari Lal, claimed that Himalayan glaciers would essentially disappear by 2035. As reported by the UK’s MailOnline, the claim “rests on [...]

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that a naturally occurring atmospheric gas that is necessary for life on this planet is now a dangerous pollutant.
A logical result of increased atmospheric CO2 would be a greening of the planet, combined with improved food production. It’s been estimated that even if atmospheric levels of CO2 were [...]
