Posted at 11:56am on Jun. 3, 2008 Not 'Evil' -- Just 'Wrong'

By Jeff Emanuel

In light of the growing Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) hysteria and the Lieberman-Warner bill that is currently being debated (albeit almost incoherently by some), the video below (a trailer for a film set for release later this year) is a good source of quick perspective on the AGW "debate," and the havoc that the fanatics fighting to take control of this issue will wreak on the world's population and economy if they are allowed to have their way.

A pair of quotes to take away from the video:

A lot of environmental activists still have not come to accept that the humans are also part of the environment."

...and...

I cannot believe that Al Gore has a great regard for people...real people.

"Not Evil Just Wrong" is, according to its web site, "a feature-length documentary which shows how extreme environmentalism is damaging the lives of vulnerable people from the ban on DDT to the campaigns on global warming."

It sounds like a worthy message to be spreading.

Note: On a nit-picky, somewhat related note, punctuation is really cool, too. Perhaps the folks running that site, and making that film, should check it out some time.

Posted at 1:00pm on Apr. 4, 2008 When Ten Years is not a Trend

Nevermind That Data Behind the Curtain. Look at These Dire Predictions

By Mark I

The proponents of man-made Global Warming have been dealt another serious blow. The United Nations World Meteorological Organisation’s official forecast predicts that global temperatures will be cooler in 2008, again. If it is correct, this will be the tenth consecutive year that global temperatures have not increased. Temperatures stopped increasing in 1998, according to the allegedly impartial world body.

But the Secretary General of the organization, Michel Jarraud, says that the cooling does not constitute a challenge to Global Warming theory. Amazingly, he says that one must not take the evidence of ten straight years of decreasing temperatures as indicative of anything when it comes to the consensus view that Global Warming is real. Rather, he says, one must “look at trends over a pretty long period and the trend of temperature globally is still very much indicative of warming."

In other words, even when it’s cooling, it’s warming.

Posted at 1:30pm on Mar. 31, 2008 Turning Out the Lights on Freedom

The End Result of Earth Hour Thinking is Visible from Space

By Mark I

Did you turn out your lights on Saturday night between 8 and 9 PM to observe Earth Hour? If you didn’t, or if you were like me and turned extra lights on just to Fight the Power!, you exercised that most precious of rights and the one ingredient most essential to maintaining a free society: personal choice. But the peddlers of Earth Hour nonsense don’t want you to have that right. Not, at least, when it comes to lifestyle decisions that may impact on Global Warming.

Note that I use the original term, Global Warming, not the newly preferred moniker "climate change." Climate change only came about when it became clear that Global Warming wasn’t selling so well. I, for one, will not let the alarmists get away with moving the thermometers by changing the terms. But I digress.

If the environmental movement has its way, your betters in the Sierra Club, and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on [Global Warming] will dictate to you when you must turn off lights, what kind car or unreasonable facsimile of one you can drive, where you can live, what kind of job you can take, even how many children you can have. Does all that sound familiar? It does to me. In fact, there is one place I can think of where there is near 100% compliance with Earth Hour every night and where all of the above is already true.
