The Global Warming Gas, or The Bread and Butter of Life?
By Viv Forbes Monday, June 17, 2013
We are told, incessantly, that carbon dioxide is the main cause of global warming – it is not.
The Continuing Collapse of the Global Warming HoaxBy Alan Caruba Sunday, June 16, 2013
While the nation tries to come to grips with the cascade of scandals involving the Obama administration, a significant phenomenon has been occurring. It is the demise of the global warming/climate change hoax that has driven national and international policies since the 1980s.
Directed from within the bowels of the most corrupt international organization on planet Earth, the United Nations, the hoax originally generated the Kyoto Protocols in December 1997 to set limits on the generation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The UN’s climate charlatans claimed that CO2 was causing the Earth to dramatically warm. It was a lie. The U.S. Senate unanimously refused to ratify it and, in 2011, Canada withdrew from it.
Merkel Warns On Green Energy CostsBy Guest Column Friday, June 14, 2013
Spiraling costs in Germany for developing renewable energy sources could damage the country’s economic competitiveness and need to be scaled back, Chancellor Angela Merkel said Wednesday—without elaborating much on how. Energy policy has become a hot issue in campaigning for Germany’s parliamentary elections in September, with households and businesses alike complaining about big energy bills. Many European companies are also concerned that high electricity costs at home are becoming increasingly unsustainable, particularly as their U.S. rivals benefit from lower energy prices resulting from the shale gas boom.—Jan Hromadko, The Wall Street Journal, 14 June 2013

Chinese Academy Of Science Publishes Climate-Sceptical NIPCC Report
By Guest Column Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Breitbart News can exclusively report on Tuesday night that the Chinese Academy of Sciences has translated and published a Chinese edition of two massive climate change volumes originally published by The Heartland Institute in 2009 and 2011. Together, they represent the most comprehensive rebuttal of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change findings, which have been the basis of the climate change legislation movement across the planet. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is set to present the publication on June 15 at a major ceremony in Beijing.—Breitbart News, 11 June 2013
Polar Bear Population Growing Despite Declining Sea IceBy Guest Column Tuesday, June 11, 2013
Exciting news about polar bears in eastern Canada: a new the peer-reviewed paper concludes that despite sea ice having declined since the 1970s, polar bear numbers in Davis Strait have not only increased to a greater density than other seasonal-ice subpopulations, but it may now have reached its ‘carrying capacity.’ This is great news. But where is the shouting from the roof-tops? This peer-reviewed paper was published February 19, 2013. No press release was issued that I could find and consequently, there was no news coverage. Funny, that.—Susan Crockford, Polar Bear Science, 10 June 2013
Green Lobbygate Allegations Rock UK ParliamentBy Guest Column Monday, June 10, 2013
The Tory MP in charge of scrutinising new energy and climate change laws has been caught boasting about how he can use his leadership of a powerful Commons committee to push his private business interests. Tim Yeo told undercover reporters — posing as representatives of a firm offering to hire him — that he was close to “really all the key players in the UK in government” and could introduce them to “almost everyone you needed to get hold of in this country”. Yeo, chairman of the energy and climate change committee, was approached by reporters claiming to represent a green energy company. He was filmed revealing that he had coached a paying client on how to influence the committee.—Robert Watts, The Sunday Telegraph, 9 June 2013
Green Investors Face Bankruptcy As Spain Cuts SubsidiesBy Guest Column Friday, June 7, 2013
Juan Antonio Cabrero is bracing for the savings he invested in a solar-energy farm in northern Spain to disappear into light. In 2008 Mr. Cabrero put up his €20,000 ($26,200) life savings and took on a €80,000 bank loan to buy part of the solar farm, pledging his home in nearby Tafalla as a guarantee. Now, because of cuts in renewable-energy subsidies the government is said to be planning, the 60-year-old Mr. Cabrero may lose both his savings and his house. The move could drive tens of thousands of struggling solar-energy companies and individual investors like Mr. Cabrero into default.—Ilan Brat and Christopher Bjork, The Wall Street Journal, 6 June 2013

By Guest Column Thursday, June 6, 2013
The European Commission has confirmed its intention to impose duties on imports of Chinese solar panels from Thursday (6 June), triggering an immediate response from China, which announced the launch of an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy probe into European wine.—EurActiv, 5 June 2013
Global Warming Charlatans are Meeting in BonnBy Alan Caruba Tuesday, June 4, 2013
The city of Bonn, Germany is currently the location of more climate chicanery courtesy of the United Nations and an organization called the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI). Two climate change conferences are being held there this week.
Newspaper Editors, Science Journalists Oppose Government Attempts To Stifle Climate DebateBy Guest Column Tuesday, June 4, 2013
“Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets” -–Napoleon Bonaparte
The U.K.’s 2013 energy bill is up for a key vote Tuesday, and even the best-case outcome is likely to hurt an already weak British economy. Three years into David Cameron’s five-year term as Prime Minister, growth is at a standstill, government deficits remain stubbornly high, and Mr. Cameron’s Conservatives are on track for a stinging defeat at the polls. Yet Mr. Cameron and his Liberal Democrat coalition partners seem intent on pursuing the economic folly of total “decarbonization” of the British economy. Voters could be forgiven if they haven’t noticed how crazy this policy is.—Editorial, The Wall Street Journal, 4 June 2013
Energy Bill: Britain May Soon Have World’s Costliest EnergyBy Guest Column Monday, June 3, 2013
The government wants to replace Britain’s decrepit fossil fuel energy system with a shiny new low-carbon one. To guide the £200bn makeover, ministers have cooked up a melange of huge subsidies for low-carbon technologies and penalties for polluters. Supporters call the policy ambitious. A growing chorus of critics call it something else:the world’s most expensive energy policy, which the government is ramming through despite the seismic changes that have occurred since it was conceived.—Danny Fortson, The Sunday Times, 2 June 2013
