A new 138 page study (PDF) by the Government Accountability Project proves what we already knew: Bush censored climate change information. Redacting the Science of Climate Change: an investigative and synthesis report – took a year to complete and compiles information from dozens of interviews and thousands of FOIA disclosures, internal documents and public records....

The media typically does a terrible at of accurately representing scientific issues, from presenting both sides of the climate change debate as being equal (when only one side has peer-reviewed data on its side), to exaggerating the effects of implementing carbon emissions caps, or exaggerating the risks of climate change, the media has failed to...

Well at least now it is official. Philip Cooney, former chief of staff at the White House Council on Environmental Quality [former energy industry lobbyist, and currently with ExxonMobil], acknowledged at a House hearing that some of the changes he made were "to align these communications with the administration's stated policy" on climate change... "Interference... Continue Reading →

[Scientists] are exploring global warming solutions that sound wholly far-fetched, including giant artificial “trees” that would filter carbon dioxide out of the air, a bizarre “solar shade” created by a trillion flying saucers that lower Earth's temperature, and a scheme that mimics a volcano by spewing light-reflecting sulphates high in the sky. My favourite of... Continue Reading →

The recent 'Documentary' on the UKs Channel 4 The Great Global Warming Swindle, seems to show compelling evidence that climate change is not caused by humans, despite the consensus in peer-reviewed journals, and what the IPCC say. It all seems like compelling evidence to prove that humans are not responsible for climate change, but as... Continue Reading →

Is anyone surprised? The [US] federal government suppresses or manipulates information about the environment, prescription drugs and public safety, making it increasingly hard for members of the public to learn about matters that could affect their lives. That was the assessment Monday of former government officials, librarians, scientists and others at a session billed as... Continue Reading →

Today is March 14 (3.14), also known as Pi-Day the most irrational day of the year. It is about a curious group of people with an almost religious zeal for a mind-numbing string of numbers. Actually one number, made up of a chain that is known — so far — to be more than one... Continue Reading →

By reducing CFCs to repair the damage to the ozone layer, we also reduced greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Of course at the time people opposed to the Montreal Protocol had all sorts of arguments as to why it was a bad idea. It is a good thing we did not listen. The science is... Continue Reading →

Why does Big Oil need government handouts when it is making record profits? A [US] bill to be voted on Thursday would cut federal benefits by a third and give them to renewable-energy programs... Nevertheless, the proposed cuts go only so far. Even if the House's new clean-energy legislation becomes law, the oil and gas... Continue Reading →

It seems pretty obvious doesn't it? A Canadian minister has introduced a bill that would give Olympic organizers an almost unbelievable amount of control to restrict the use of not just its trademarks, but a host of other words, including "winter, gold, silver, bronze, sponsor, Vancouver, Whistler, 2010, tenth, medals, and games" The government has...

It all depends on who you ask. Al-Qaeda represents the most serious threat to US interests, the new US intelligence chief has said. Sounds pretty serious, but don't worry too much a slightly more intelligent man disagrees. Stephen W. Hawking, the renowned cosmologist and mathematician, told The Associated Press that global warming has eclipsed other... Continue Reading →

CO2 offsetting has always seemed like a flaky solution. Carbon offset calculations are incredibly complex, the customer cannot hope to truly understand them. This makes it possible for (unethical) carbon offset companies to take money with the promise of reducing CO2 emissions, while doing little to actually offset the CO2 emissions. The Customer would have... Continue Reading →

Lets get one thing straight Gore IS an environmental hypocrite, his energy footprint is huge, and he consumes far more than any environmental consciouses person should. This does not however weaken any of his climate change arguments. Environmental crusader and prominent Democrat Al Gore uses 20 times more electricity in his home than the average...
