Green Hypocrisy's Gold Standard
By Steven Milloy
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
Is billionaire investor George Soros using environmental pressure groups to block a gold-mining project for his own financial benefit?
Japan Sweats for Global Warming
By Steven Milloy
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
Japanese office workers are being forced to sweat in the name of global warming. But before Americans consume too much "Green" Kool-Aid and suffer a similar fate, they may want to consider this week's global warming developments.
Japan's Atlantis Unearthed
By Joshua S. Hill
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
Whether an Atlantis once existed, and is now buried deep within the Antarctic Ice (I'll continue to hold to my beliefs, thank you!), the disappearance of cities beneath the waves is not one that is relegated simply to legend. Volcanic eruptions and rising sea levels have submerged several cities, across the entire face of the planet.
250 Million Years From Now: Pangaea 2.0

Wednesday, September 26, 2007
If you're looking for a great daily website that will keep you entertained and awe inspired each day, then you should check out the 'Astronomy Picture of the Day' website. You'll be treated to some of the greatest astronomy related photographs, and, in all reality, when you're waking up and dealing with the first coffee of the day, some good awe inspiring space photos is the way to go.
Saturn's Spinning Hexagon Storm
By Joshua S. Hill
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
It is the second largest planet of our solar system, and named for the Roman god Saturnus (or the Greek mythological equivalent, Kronos). Saturn is the last of the seven planets of classical antiquity. A gas giant in the same league as Jupiter, Saturn has been a favorite of NASA's for a long time, as evidenced by flybys from both Voyager crafts, and the extended Cassini-Huygens mission.
Green Building Racket?
By Steven Milloy
Monday, September 10, 2007
"Building green" soon may be more about stealthily raking in cash from taxpayers than constructing "eco-friendly" buildings, if the U.S. Green Building Council, or USGBC, has its way in Congress.
Universe Lego Blocks Found
By Joshua S. Hill
Monday, September 10, 2007
The model most widely accepted for the evolution of our universe, and the galaxies that populate it, is that they formed from smaller galaxies which eventually coalesced, to form larger combined galaxies. We have seen recently reports of one galaxy eating another, and for a day or so we were led to believe that Earth was indeed from another galaxy all together.
Einstein called it "Spooky"; we call it quantum!
By Joshua S. Hill
Monday, September 10, 2007
For many of us, the word 'quantum' puts us in mind of the ape that fell out of a tree and landed on a rabbit; he knew there was something he should know, he just didn't know what it was.
New Asteroid Impact Prevention Plan: Yellow String?
By Joshua S. Hill
Sunday, September 9, 2007
If you like good movies then you've probably steered yourself well away from Armageddon and Ben Affleck's airport rendition of Leaving on a Jet Plane: and for good reason too. However we simply cannot deny Hollywood's apparent love obsession with holocaustic asteroid impact movies, and their seeming hatred of factual science to back them up.
Runaway Climate Captured?
By Steven Milloy
Thursday, September 6, 2007
Runaway global warming, the climate alarmist fantasy let loose on the public, has not yet been captured, but it certainly appears to have at least been cornered by new data from researchers at the University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH).
Cause and Effect did in the Dinosaurs
By Joshua S. Hill
Thursday, September 6, 2007
It was some 65 million years ago that the dinosaurs witnessed their last sunrise before they were doomed to extinction. Predominant views have all but concluded that their disappearance is as a result of a massive impact upon earth of a large asteroid. Such an impact would have had devastating planet-wide consequences, reshaping the environment, and subsequently wiping out all vestiges of the dinosaurs that had ruled so dominantly.
Baby Video a No-No?
By Steven Milloy
Wednesday, September 5, 2007
"Is Baby Einstein doing your child more harm than good?"
The answer to that question, posed by the cover story of Time magazine (Aug. 27), may depend on how you feel about drive-by product disparagement committed by anti-TV fanatics.
Girls, Pink and Science: a study in sexism
By Joshua S. Hill
Wednesday, August 29, 2007
It was front page news the world over: "Pink for the girls!" Apparently a research conducted and led by Dr. Hurlbert and Yazhu Ling of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne found that there were "historical reasons" as to why women apparently like pink better. "The explanation might date back to humans' hunter-gatherer days, when women were the primary gatherers and would have benefited from an ability to hone in on ripe, red fruits," Anya Hurlbert, who led the team of researchers, said. "Culture may exploit and compound this natural female preference."
Atlantic Panic Debunked
By Steven Milloy,
Tuesday, August 21, 2007
Climate alarmists gleefully surfed a 2005 Nature study that claimed greenhouse gas emissions would slow Atlantic Ocean circulation and cause a mini ice age in Europe. Their ride now seems headed for a gnarly wipeout.
New Science Challenges Climate Alarmists
By Steven Milloy,
Tuesday, August 14, 2007
"People like to complain about the weather," goes the old saw. This is especially true nowadays as bad weather becomes an excuse for the climate alarmist-friendly media to trot out its manmade global warming boogeyman.
How Now Brown Cloud?

Tuesday, August 7, 2007
Himalayan glaciers are melting -- but not nearly as fast as the fanciful notion of global warming will have you believe.
A Green Sings the Renewable Energy Blues
By Steven Milloy,
Thursday, August 2, 2007
Rockefeller University's Jesse Ausubel introduced his new article on renewable energy by openly worrying about "hereticide" -- the all-to-common historical phenomenon of putting heretics to death.
As a long-time Green, Ausubel has good reason to be concerned given his article condemns renewable energy as "wrecking" the environment.
Carbon Offsets -- Buyer Beware
By Steven Milloy,
Saturday, July 21, 2007
Congress began investigating the carbon offset industry this week. The inquiry could produce some "inconvenient truths" for Al Gore and the nascent offset industry.
Carbon offsets ostensibly allow buyers to expunge their consciences of the new eco-sin of using energy derived from fossil fuels. Worried about the 8 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted each year by your SUV? Similar to the indulgences offered by Pope Leo X in the 16th century, you can absolve yourself of sin by purchasing $96 worth of CO2 offsets -- typically offered at $12 per ton of CO2 emitted -- from offset brokers who, in turn, supposedly use your cash to pay someone else to produce electricity with low or no CO2 emissions.
Live Earth's Gross Groupies
By Steven Milloy,
Friday, July 13, 2007
Why is NBC airing Al Gore's Live Earth concert this weekend? Why are Democrats, who claim to support the Fairness Doctrine, not objecting to this outright gift of unequal broadcast time to just one side (theirs) of a controversial political issue? Those are the terrific questions asked by FOX News' John Gibson this week.
Here are some answers, John.
Conservative Global Warming Sell-out?
By Steven Milloy,
Thursday, July 5, 2007
Should conservatives give up the fight just as the tide is turning in their favor in the debate over global warming?
In the cover story of the June 25 National Review, software company CEO Jim Manzi wrote that conservatives should stop "denying" that humans are warming the planet and instead figure out how to use global warming to "peel off" 1 percent of the vote in the 2008 presidential election. Manzi claims that this strategy could represent a "principled stand" for a "clever candidate."
Climate Activists' Credibility Gap

Wednesday, June 27, 2007
Organic yogurt king and Stonyfield Farm CEO Gary Hirshberg may have thought that he avoided the buzzsaw this week by ducking a TV appearance with me. Guess I'll just have to go on without him.
Hold the Line on Global Warming
By Steven Milloy,
Thursday, June 21, 2007
What should conservatives do about global warming? Jim Manzi suggests in his June 25 National Review cover story ("Game Plan") that conservatives embrace junk science and "manage" global climate change so that they can "peel off" 1 percent of the votes from the "opposing coalition" in some future presidential election.
Military Suicide Study Mystery

Wednesday, June 20, 2007
Researchers and the media did their best this week to scare military personnel and their families with the widely reported headline, "Military Service Doubles Suicide Risk."
Diabetes Drug Scare or Scam?
By Steven Milloy,
Wednesday, June 13, 2007
Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., launched a congressional investigation this week into the popular diabetes drug, Avandia. It's too bad his inquiry appears headed in the wrong direction.
A May 16 study in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that Avandia users had a 43 percent higher rate of heart attack and a 64 percent higher rate of death from cardiovascular causes.
Earth-Friendly Greens Camouflaging the Poor's Plight
By Steven Milloy,
Thursday, June 7, 2007
Many people are aware that the world's poor desperately need economic development. Few realize, however, that a major obstacle to overcoming global poverty is the anti-development and anti-human environmental movement that camouflages itself under ubiquitous "Earth-friendly" shades of green.
Hot Air Study Melts Global Warming Theory
By Steven Milloy,
Monday, May 28, 2007
Global warming alarmists may want to expedite their efforts to hamstring the global economy with greenhouse gas regulation. A new study touted as showing that we're not sufficiently panicky about manmade carbon dioxide emissions actually supports the exact opposite conclusion.
