Those of us who grew up in the 1940s and 50s almost universally look back on those days with great fondness. Born into an era that saw the end of the Depression and living as children through World War II, we were nonetheless somehow shielded from it by parents who took care to [...]

I heard from Friends of the Earth, a huge environmental organization, who one would think would favor the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2007 being advanced by Senate Democrats. It would impose a cap-and-trade program to force reductions of so-called greenhouse gas emissions.
FOE, however, was wailing about the way “it lavishes up [...]

Recycling is fraudulent and economically wasteful, but it’s a feel-good object of pagan worship for liberal-progressive-socialists.
Pagan gods of the Old Testament were powerless against God, as Pharaoh discovered when he balked at God’s demand to liberate the Isrealites from slavery. Nonetheless, Middle Eastern peoples, and even the Israelites, kept turning to their idols of [...]

This season’s Super Bowl will be played about 10 miles from my home in Scottsdale, Ariz. In one of the silliest gestures produced by the unwarranted mass hysteria over global warming, the host stadium is planting trees to counteract carbon dioxide produced by the game.

If global warming is truly man-caused, and if [...]

The world is getting warmer, it’s our fault, and if we don’t reorganize our economy collectively and change our lifestyle like Nobel-prize-winning documentarian Al Gore recommends we’ll all suffer from apocalyptic heat, storms, flooding and worse.

Are you old enough to remember the ice age threat?
Well, I am. The pro-U.N., pro-globalist, rabid environmentalist crowd, warned of a coming end of times, global ice age (back in the 1970s if I remember right), and the solution was — you guessed it — big, big, and bigger government.
Strange solution, since the more totalitarian [...]
