The Inconvenient Truth of Osama Bin Laden -- By: Iain Murray
This isn't the first time OBL has condemned America for contributing to global warming. I wrote the following in The Really Inconvenient Truths: Perhaps Al Gore could take a lesson from one unlikely convert to the cause of global warming alarmism. In his September 2007 rant from the cave, O...
Osama Hearts Polar Bears -- By: Cliff May
Al-Jazeera has aired a new tape, reportedly by Osama bin Laden, blaming the United States for global warming. So unless we cool down the planet quickly, al-Qaeda will have another recruitment tool -- even after Gitmo is closed!
Osama vs. Global Warming -- By: Jonah Goldberg
Of course, any minute now we're going to hear from someone -- any predictions who? -- that the real reason "they" hate "us" is climate change. It ain't freedom, it ain't American empire, or licentiousness, or Israel. All of these jihadi nutters are blowing themselves up to save the polar bea...

Opinion: The Real Climate Confusion -- By: Iain Murray
As for Glaciergate, the hysteria about sea-level rise is overdone. The IPCC itself estimates the current contribution of glacial melt to sea-level rise is 1.19 mm a year. The specific issue at play in glaciergate, the melting of Himalayan glaciers, has been a major factor in Indian politic...
Now He Tells Us -- By: Andrew Stuttaford
Via the London Times: The impact of global warming has been exaggerated by some scientists and there is an urgent need for more honest disclosure of the uncertainty of predictions about the rate of climate change, according to the [British] Government’s chief scientific adviser. John B...

Is New Mexico the Battleground for the Enviro War? -- By: Jack Fowler
Is Richardson stacking the court that can order a state-wide emissions cap of so-called greenhouse gases? As it is, the Environmental Improvement Board is chaired by a man paid by global warming activists to be their spokesman and lobbyist. Now a leader of one of the most aggressive and ra...

Yet More Inconvenience -- By: Andrew Stuttaford
The claim by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that global warming is already affecting the severity and frequency of global disasters, has since become embedded in political and public debate. It was central to discussions at last month's Copenhagen climate summ...

The Steely Marches . . . -- By: Denis Boyles
I think that's how poet Hayden Carruth once described the winter landscape of Vermont, way back when, before global warming brought palm trees to the Canadian border. But "steely marches" also describes the pro-life movement's protest calendar, which fills January. The U.S. pro-life mov...

Well, This is Awkward -- By: Andrew Stuttaford
A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it. Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was cl...

Who Said Gore Couldn't Get More Stiff? -- By: Jonah Goldberg
Local businessmen Craig Compeau and Rudy Gavora contracted the piece from award-winning sculptor Steve Dean and say they’ll keep erecting one each winter until Gore accepts an invitation to discuss the global warming issue in Fairbanks.

Avatar Is Left-wing Filmmaking at Its Best! No, It's Not! -- By: Jonah Goldberg
There are tons of other grumpy conservative broadsides against the film, but I'll spare you the details, except to say that Cameron's grand cinematic fantasy, with its mixture of social comment, mysticism and transcendent, fanboy-style video game animation, seems to have hit a very r...

Too Soft on the Environmentalists? -- By: NRO Staff
Maximalist positions -- “The World Is Ending!” vs. “Global Warming Is a Hoax!” -- are emotionally satisfying, and therefore to be regarded with suspicion. Conservatives can guard our liberties and wealth without going to the wall over every data regression in every climate-change mode...

Opinion: Key Data Related to the Climategate Debacle -- By: Veronique de Rugy
There have been a series of posts on this blog and others about whether or not the climategate debacle means anything about global warming per se. Over at Marginal Revolution, Tyler Cowen weighs in the debate by pointing out that scientific research is a decentralized process, which mean...

Canada: Rogue State -- By: Jonah Goldberg
Until now I believed that the nation that has done most to sabotage a new climate change agreement was the United States. I was wrong. The real villain is Canada. Unless we can stop it, the harm done by Canada in December 2009 will outweigh a century of good works.
Global Warming 101 -- By: Jonah Goldberg
Yet articles from major modeling centers acknowledged that the failure of these models to anticipate the absence of warming for the past dozen years was due to the failure of these models to account for this natural internal variability. Thus even the basis for the weak IPCC argument for a...

Opinion: With Meat We Shall Not Inherit The Earth -- By: Andrew Stuttaford
Dietary rules and restrictions are a part of many religions, so it's at least consistent that Lord Stern, one of Britain's most prominent climate alarmists, is making sure that his particular millennial cult is not left out: People will need to turn vegetarian if the world is to conqu...

Corporate Support for Global-Warming Measures Won't Make It Any Cheaper for the Rest of Us -- By: NRO Staff
Next time you hear company announcing with pride that it wants to help fight global warming by supporting a cap-and-trade bill, it is at least worth asking who they expect to pick up the tab. — Ben Lieberman is senior policy analyst for Energy and Environment in the Thomas A. Roe Institute for...

Opinion: Discount Rates and Academic Mau-Mauing
Will Wilkinson ably takes on the idea that economists have a whole lot to say about what discount rates should be used in comparing costs and benefits in the debate over global warming. I have a more aggressive take: I dispute that we should care about discount rates, per se, at all. Let me star...

Re: The Climate Change Debate
Jerry -- Thanks for the clear and respectful reply. Let me respond to your two points. In regard to your first point: Yes, you understand me exactly when you say: Even if we accept the absolute worse case scenarios of future warming offered by the IPCC and the Stern Review on the economics of c...
