Nobel laureate Paul Krugman has challenged critics of the government's intentions to regulate carbon dioxide emissions, and he has even specifically endorsed the pending Waxman-Markey bill which includes a "cap-and-trade" program. According to Krugman, the costs of such legislation are no big deal, and in exchange we avert catastrophe. So why all the criticism?

As social observers, we read and watch on TV the constant symptoms of our tragedy expressed daily in a variety of ways across the American landscape. Water shortages face California, but that state adds 1,700 people daily on its way to adding 20 million people in 30 years!

You may debate the morality or immorality of 46 million abortions, but if you live in America, you may not possess a clue as to the circumstances of their choices.

The United States gallops headlong into its greatest crisis early in the 21st century. At current growth rates, America expects to add 100 million people by 2035—a mere 26 years from now.
Sober second thought is now setting in of the cap and trade scheme. I have no doubt what has been proposed will be unrecognizable by the time it reaches signature. So much simply cannot stand. There is nothing more fraught with danger to the p
Everyone loves irony and this tale has irony in spades. Why they chose to go to sea across the North Atlantic in April escapes me. The seas and winds are guaranteed to be awful. Most likely they faced a strenuous expedition to the peak of the ice
The Obama administration waded deeper into climate regulation, proposing new standards for alternative motor fuels and setting off a debate among ethanol producers and environmentalists about scientific assumptions that could be worth billions of dol

Eye-opening, incisive, brilliant! The US has the fastest growing population of any industrial nation, and one of the world's highest consumption rates. Barn burner of a read! This will change the way you look at growth.
Yet anyone who looks at the globe knows that the present well watered ecosystems are a small fraction of the globe’s land area. The Sahara leaps out, but so too does Western North America and most of Asia. Well watered is not how you would describe m
Kyoto-style emissions cuts can only ever be an expensive distraction from the real business of weaning ourselves off fossil fuels. The fact is, carbon remains the only way for developing countries to work their way out of poverty. Coal burning provid
Reclaiming the Earth one garden at a time will reclaim the Garden of Eden for humanity and it will be many times larger than the original and as rich and productive. I cannot begin to imagine just how many people could live on Earth as this comes to
There are now 46,000 pieces of plastic per square kilometre of the world's oceans, killing a million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals each year. Worse still, there seems to be nothing we can do to clean it up.
Facts have a funny way of getting in the way of good ideas—take Carbon Cap and Trade for example.

Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson described the human race as, “The most devastating meteorite to hit the planet.”
The Environmental Protection Agency concluded greenhouse gases linked to climate change "endanger public health and welfare," setting the stage for regulating them under federal clean air laws. The action marks the first step toward imposin
Obama, Brzezinski and Al Gore have worked closely with Communist backed environmental fronts...to promote the falsehood of significant global climate change...to scare the world and the US into paying such a global tax to “save the planet.”

It’s amazing how millions can look at a steam locomotive bearing down on them and continue walking on the tracks away from the train so they won’t see it when it runs over them.
For more than a decade, Norwegian oil company Statoil Hydro has been stripping climate change–causing carbon dioxide (CO2) from natural gas in its Sleipner West field and burying it beneath the seabed rather than venting it into the atmosphere. Th
What I experience there is a society that does pretty well with VERY little energy, all things considering. Mind you, not 'pretty well' by any standard of the Western world. But survival - and happiness! - are pretty much possible. Oddly, a f
There is a crushing need to create a system of representation that is bound to the land itself and can speak to the interests of the land, one river valley at a time. A river valley needs it rivers to be protected and spared excessive damage. It need

He said, “The solution is to be smarter about how we grow. We can create more economic growth, 30 to 40 percent more, while using the same amount of energy.” To that ridiculous statement, I say balderdash, rubbish, twaddle, claptrap and tripe.
