(It’s […]
House legislation to ban neonicotinoids in wildlife refuges would hurt bees and wildlife The battle over neonicotinoid pesticides rages on. In response to one of many collusive sue-and-settle lawsuits between environmentalist groups and Obama environmental officials, in 2014 the Department of the Interior’s Fish & Wildlife Service banned neonic use in wildlife refuges. Following a […]
Will activists finally admit their sins and break out of their pesticide-blaming time loop? Did you think Goundhog Day only comes in February? For anti-insecticide zealots and others in the environmentalist movement who’ve been preoccupied for years with bees and “colony collapse disorder,” it actually comes every June.

Gavin Schmidt’s spat with Steve Koonin underscores why we need to debate climate change Various scientists, politicians and activists have long insisted that the United States and world must end fossil fuel use to prevent dangerous manmade global warming, climate change and extreme weather disasters. They say “the science is settled” and the time to […]
Let’s finally review Endangerment Finding used to justify trillions in climate and energy cost. In December 2009, the Obama Environmental Protection Agency issued its Endangerment Finding (EF) – decreeing that carbon dioxide (CO2) and other “greenhouse gases” (GHGs) endanger the health and welfare of Americans. In the process, EPA ignored the incredible economic, health and […]

He should do it now. The PCCS would, at long last, review and question the […]

Climate alarmists must prove expensive, weather-dependent energy is green and sustainable The IPCC says it’s still possible to limit planetary warming to an additional 0.5 degrees C (0.9 F) “above pre-industrial levels” – but only if global CO2 emissions are halved by 2030 and zeroed out by 2050.
