Great article slapping down the morons that espouse the green religion. Facts just keep slapping these morons upside the head, but they still can’t grasp reality.
The Alice in Wonderland World of the Greens
By Peter Glover and Michael J. Economides
“Curiouser and curiouser”, said Alice. Not an unnatural response to the wholesale departure from reality she experienced at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. And we have precisely the same head-scratching response to the refusal of green ideologues to grasp the energy realities of our age, especially as they affect a realistic role for renewable energy sources.
The Green Gospel
If any group has set the agenda for Green-ism in our age, it is Greenpeace. In 2007 Greenpeace produced a film ‘The Convenient Solution‘, which succinctly put the case for renewable energy’s ‘urgent’ solution before the world. Introducing the film on their website Greenpeace makes this statement, “We all know that, to stop climate change, we need to stop burning fossil fuels”. Within minutes of the film getting under way we are informed of the “unnecessary dependence on fossil fuels.” What the Green gospel also says “we all know…” is that: mankind burning fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide, a ‘polluting’ greenhouse gas that significantly contributes to (anthropogenic) global warming. Thus, if we don’t quickly change our evil, fossil burning ways dire prognostications will soon befall us.

One and a Half Cheers for Interior Secretary Salazar
By Humberto Fontova
Exactly a year ago President Bush’s Interior Sec. , Dirk Kempthorne, under pressure from greenies and global warmists, invoked the U.S. Endangered Species Act to list polar bears as “a threatened species.” The listing was idiotic; in fact polar bear numbers have doubled worldwide over the past 30 years. And three years earlier Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, acting on the advice of people who actually live around polar bears, had filed suit against the Dept. of the Interior to prevent the listing.
Alas Gov. Palin’s efforts only forestalled the listing. But at least Sec. Kempthorne saw through part of the greenie-weenie ploy and called their bluff: “This listing, ” he warned last year, “should not open the door to use of the Endangered Species Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles, power plants, and other sources.”
