**Posted by Phineas One of the things about the environmental Left that drives me most nuts is its resistance to reason and empirical fact. Global warming is a good example: what started as a theory many years ago, that the Earth is warming dangerously and the climate heading for disastrous changes because of the carbon [...]
**Posted by Phineas Christopher Booker in last Saturday’s Telegraph: “It’s payback time…” As the snow of the coldest March since 1963 continues to fall, we learn that we have barely 48 hours’ worth of stored gas left to keep us warm, and that the head of our second-largest electricity company, SSE, has warned that our generating [...]
**Posted by Phineas AKA, “A problem that does not exist.” But, hey, it’s only $100,000 of our money: A new video game featuring a black alien female superhero delivered to Earth to fight global warming is about to hit the market thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Obama administration. The National Endowment for the [...]
**Posted by Phineas I’m sure UAW will understand: President Barack Obama’s administration, which set a goal of buying only alternative- technology vehicles for its fleet by 2015, cut purchases of hybrid and electric models by one-third last year and bought mostly Asian brands. About 54 percent of the 1,801 alt-fuel vehicles purchased by U.S. government [...]

Mary Katherine Ham summarizes at Hot Air: It’s just a 100-year-old company and California’s only surviving cannery, a sustainable, family-owned operation employing 30 people. The Drakes Bay Oyster Company has been in a seven-year fight with the federal government and environmental groups over [...]
Haha. Another one from the Dept. of You Can’t Make This Up – via the NY Post: Who’s full of hot air? Mayor Bloomberg wants to maintain his politically correct credentials on global warming — but hates to get into a hot car when he leaves an air conditioned building. The solution his aides came [...]
**Posted by Phineas Once again, some sanctimonious celebrity Gaea-cultist who wants us to cripple our economies and lifestyles to save the world from a problem that doesn’t exist, global warming, gets caught with his hand in the CO2-cookie jar: Musician Will.I.Am has been criticised for arriving at a climate change debate in a private helicopter, [...]
**Posted by Phineas An elderly grandmother in the UK has been told by her NHS (1) clinic to find another doctor, because the “carbon footprint” of her two-mile round-trip is too big: Avril Mulcahy, 83, was told to address the “green travelling issues” over her journeys from her home in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, to the West [...]
**Posted by Phineas Your goddess will be angry with you… According to a recent study by researchers at UT-Knoxville, electric cars have a greater pollution impact than comparable (and evil, EVIL, EVIL!!) gasoline-powered vehicles: “An implicit assumption has been that air quality and health impacts are lower for electric vehicles than for conventional vehicles,” [Chris] [...]
**Posted by Phineas Two posts at Watts Up With That bring news that that ought to turn the Gaea-cultists’ sweet dreams into nightmares. First, a study from Civitas in the UK demolishes any idea that wind-power is a practical, economic alternate energy source: The focus on wind-power, driven by the renewables targets, is preventing Britain [...]
