Blogline of the Day:

 If This Bill Passes, Possessing Pot in Texas Will Be Treated Less Harshly Than Distributing Straws in San Francisco. And this is what passes for public morality these days.  Seriously, straws are that evil? (H/T: Instapundit)

Blaming CO2 – We’ll Roast… We’ll Drown… We’ll Starve… We’ll Sneeze???

There is a certain alarmist style of reporting where any series of unfortunate events will be blamed on Global Cooling, er, Global Warming, er, Climate Change, Oh, Heck – Let’s just blame CO2 directly! In that vein, we now have an amazing piece from USA Today blaming allergy season on CO2! They failed to convince …

Data Point – A Time to Drill

It is clear that if energy is needed, and it is found, it can be drilled for and drilled quickly.  It is also clear that Obama’s Administration does not believe it is needed nor wanted, so they slow walk it (if moving forward on one’s knees is construed as reasonable progress). (H/T: RedState)

Enviroreligion: 12 dead humans. So? Big deal.

Left-wing statists hate religion. Their disdain shines through at anyone or anything that hints of a transcendental nature. Except for nature itself, that is. Now that…well there’s something worth protecting! Even if it means people die. That’s just too bad. So this is what…

Tonight, for those of you who get AXS-TV (Dish Network and some cable providers), there is the national premiere of ‘FrackNation’, the rebuttal by Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney of all the hysterical anti-energy “Crockumentaries’ by the Hollywood left, especially Josh Fox’s ‘Gasland’.

Data Point – And we need a carbon tax to lower our “carbon usage” – why?

3. The chart above shows the Department of Energy’s estimates of CO2 emissions per capita from 1973 to 2040. Total energy-related carbon emissions are expected to fall to a 20-year low this year, and on a per-capita basis will be the lowest since at least 1973 when the Department of Energy’s data begins. From the …

Hypocrisy: Thy name be Al Gore (yet another Progressive)!

Since the Kyoto Climate Change treaty was rejected by the US Senate (and this uber-Progressive getting “the boot from the Oval Office” (losing his election)), we’ve had to put up with his (environmental) screeds in the national papers (and TV) about how Republicans (and Conservatives and Climate Deniers)  that if we all didn’t don his brand …

Where environmentalists explicitly wish no access AT ALL to anyone – and are willing to kill people to enforce it.

I’m not sure if the proper metaphor is “enough rope to hang themselves with” or “let them babble long enough to find out what they really believe.  Once again, from that crazy hothouse of Environmentalism meets Totalitarian Murder, TreeHugger.  This post’s author is absolutely aghast that our civilization has found just SCADS of high amounts …

From Alice in Wonderland: “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” Well, I could easily say that the Obama Administration has been nonsensical in how it uses words (been listening to Jay Carney, his Press …
