NY AG Letitia James Loses ‘Climate Change’ Case Against Exxon Mobil
by Shifra on December 11, 2019NY Attorney General Letitia James just lost this “climate change” case. But she should cheer up: Now she will have more time to harass President Trump for his financial records. Via Bloomberg. Exxon Mobil Corp. won a closely watched trial over its accounting for the financial risks of climate change, in an outright rejection of New York state’s claim that the energy giant engaged in a cynical scheme to mislead investors for years.] Tuesday’s ruling, by New York Supreme Court Justice Barry Ostrager in Manhattan, is a blow to the state’s attorney general, Letitia James.

Environmentalists’ New Target: Charmin Toilet Paper
by Shifra on October 10, 2019Yep, Charmin uses paper from a Canadian forest that acts as a critical check on climate change. Or something. Via CBS. ….More than 150 groups are pushing the maker of Charmin toiler paper and Bounty paper towels to use recycled materials in its products. Currently, neither of those products uses recycled paper, and about one-third of it is sourced from Canada’s boreal forest — a large swath of virgin forest that rings the Arctic Circle and acts as a critical check on climate change. “It’s just unacceptable that a company like P&G is making toilet paper, a product that is used for seconds and flushed, from virgin pulp,” said Shelley Vinyard, boreal corporate campaign manager for the Natural Resources Defense...

Scientists To Name New Fish Species After Obama; First Fish Named ‘Insufferable Jerk’ ?
by Tammy on September 4, 2016Upon hearing of his new name the fish, of course, immediately abandoned its job and went golfing. Obama’s being honored with this for federalizing even more of the US, ostensibly in the name of “conservation.” He created a “national monument” equal to the size of Texas, placing it under control of the federal government. The more the Fed takes, the less state sovereignty matters. We all love the animals and want to protect the earth, but the last thing that’s going to accomplish that is the federal government taking control. Bureaucrats and others who rely on the federal teat for their existence love this of course. Because the more of our land and water that is owned by the Fed,...

Obama To Bulldoze Chicago Lakefront for Prez Library, Environmentalists Silent
by Shifra on August 1, 2016Hypocrisy, much? Via Washington Times. President Obama’s plan to bulldoze a sensitive Chicago lakefront park in order to build his presidential library is meeting with outrage — but not from environmental groups. Even as local environmentalists say they will not challenge the library in spite of concerns, others are accusing Mr. Obama of hypocrisy, pointing to his record of aggressively blocking badly needed development elsewhere in the name of ecological protection. Moffat County Commissioner John Kinkaid, whose coal-producing northwest Colorado community is threatened with economic devastation as a result of the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan, said the decision shows that Mr. Obama doesn’t play by his own rules. “Apparently, Obama is a radical environmentalist, until it is inconvenient or...

EPA Head: If You Can’t Find A Decent Job, Blame Climate Change!
by Shifra on August 14, 2015“Global Warming/Climate Change” has already been blamed for so many awful and horrible catastrophic events: Yes, from ‘shrinking loaves of bread,’ to bubonic plague, bigger spiders (aacckk!), chocolate disappearing from the planet by 2020 (oh, the horror), and cow infertility.

She did not expand on how climate change affects people’s ability to earn a living, but according to the American Action Forum, the Clean Power Plan will mean thousands of people losing their...

Obama Will Jet To Arctic, Use 16,805 Gallons Of Fuel, Because… Global Warming!
by Shifra on August 4, 2015So, if you like your CO2, you can emit your CO2? Via Daily Caller: The Obama administration will kick off a massive campaign…to push the president’s agenda to cut carbon dioxide emissions just months ahead of the United Nation’s global warming summit in Paris. This climate campaign, oddly enough, includes a trip to the Alaskan Arctic by President Barack Obama to “call attention to the effects of global warming,” according to The Washington Post — which was briefed on the administration’s new campaign by an unnamed source prior to its unveiling to the public. “Power plants are the single biggest source of the harmful carbon pollution that contributes to the climate change,” Obama said in the transcript of a video...

by Shifra on March 11, 2015Translation: Fork over that $8.6B budget I asked for, or you can kiss your coffee mug goodbye!

Guess Who Scored Higher On Science Quiz: ‘Warming Mongers’ Or Skeptics?
by Shifra on February 23, 2015Climate Change alarmists love to portray anyone who questions their “facts” as ignorant flyover-country anti-science morons who still believe the earth is flat. So, they will not be too happy with the following: Via Investor’s Business Daily: Are Global Warming Skeptics On Wrong Side Of Science? ….the findings of a study show that global warming skeptics score better on climate science questions than those who believe man is causing the planet to warm through the combustion of fossil fuels. A paper that will appear in the journal Advances in Political Psychology says that, on average, skeptics got 4.5 questions right while the followers of the faith averaged four correct answers. This doesn’t mean skeptics are more informed; it just means...

Another “Green Energy” Boondoggle Goes Broke
by Tammy on November 30, 2014**Bumped up from TAMWire. Posted by Maynard** Converting wood chips into ethanol sounds great, but they keep building expensive plants (with taxpayer support) that do not work and end up shuttered. The mastermind in this case is a billionaire and big Democrat bundler. See also Range Fuels. Billionaire Vinod Khosla’s big dreams for biofuels fail to catch fire Just over a year ago, billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla was bubbling with optimism about one of his latest investments: KiOR, a biofuel outfit he said would turn wood chips into hydrocarbons that could be poured straight into a refinery, pipeline or vehicle… Now, however, the spell has been broken. On Nov. 10, KiOR filed for bankruptcy, leaving behind 2,067 creditors, including...

Tumbleweed Or Fumbleweed?—Bringing Exotic Fungi To America
by Pat_S on September 25, 2014The U.S. Agricultural Research Service is awaiting permission to release two foreign fungi to kill off tumbleweed. Tumbleweed is iconically associated with the American West, but it is more accurately called Russian thistle. It was brought to America in the 1870’s by Russian immigrants as a contaminant in flaxseed. It has since spread over 100 million acres causing trouble wherever it goes. Tumbleweed displaces crops and native plants. It dries out soil and aids in the spread of wildfires. It triggers allergies and impacts highway safety. It, along with other exotic plant pests, costs the American economy an estimated $34 billion a year. There have been other attempts to deal with the tumbleweed problem. Bio-control using natural predator insects was...

Why Maynard’s Car is Green (and Obama’s is a Sack of Brown)
by Maynard on February 6, 2014Middle class people not only have to pay for their own modest cars, but they're forced to subsidize expensive flashy hot rods for upper class cronies, who cruise around town pretending they've saved the world while they are in fact destroying the ecology and the economy.

Liberals, Harebrained Schemes, and Unintended Consequences
by Shifra on July 25, 2013Liberals, bless their hearts, always think they are working to improve the world. The problem is that, too often, they are not really t-h-i-n-k-i-n-g. Liberal “solutions” to “problems” are too often poorly planned, impulsively enacted, and they deliver not solutions, but more problems. Case in point: Libs believe that we must decrease our dependence in foreign oil So far, so good. But instead of drilling, we now have gasoline blended with ethanol, which is extracted from corn. The result? The Ethanol Effect: Food prices have skyrocketed, causing more hunger in Third World countries, as well as economic difficulties here in the U.S. And now, another unintended consequence of liberal activism: via The Daily Caller: Plastic Ban Leads to Nationwide Increase...

Creepy: World’s Largest Building Open for Business in China — has a 6,000 person indoor beach resort with its own Sun
by Patricia on July 9, 2013I find this creepy. Pollution is so bad in China that they are now resorting to building cities, beaches, and resorts…INDOORS with its very own fake Sun! Chengdu is China’s fourth largest city with a beach resort – inside the biggest building in the world. Where is the worthless UN when it comes to criticizing the worst polluter in the world?
