How Green Is “Green Energy”?

It’s an excellent question (Daily Caller) Wind and solar power aren’t as environmentally friendly as green energy activists often claim, according to a new study by scientists at Uppsala University in Sweden.

Your Halloween Candy Could Be Killing Orangutans

Notice that the headline didn’t include my typical, “Or Something” (Huffington Post Green) Halloween is fast approaching and you know what that means: candy, candy, candy— and some chocolate bars, too. But you might want to think twice before biting into a tasty treat. Some sweets are harmful to our planet and helping to kill […]

What could possibly go wrong? (Reuters)  The International Criminal Court (ICC) said on Thursday it would start focusing on crimes linked to environmental destruction, the illegal exploitation of natural resources and unlawful dispossession of land in a move hailed by land rights activists.

Would Trump Be Better On The Environment Than Hillary?

Food for thought(?) from Pierre Gosselin at No Tricks Zone Rising conservative media star Breitbart here writes that “A Donald Trump presidency would be way more beneficial to the environment than a Hillary Clinton presidency“.

Surprise: ‘Climate Change’ Isn’t The Biggest Threat To Biodiversity

I’ve noted for a long, long time that ‘climate change’ has become a catch-all boogeyman for environmentalists, which sublimates real environmental problems in favor of anthropogenic climate change, often placing those real issues under the banner of Hotcoldwetdry.

Let’s Watch The Environmentally Friendly Ivanpah Solar Plant Incinerate Birds And Insects

When most think of something that’s environmentally friendly, they think that it doesn’t pollute, doesn’t hurt wildlife, and doesn’t damage the environment. When members of the Cult of Climastrology think of the environment, they think only of “carbon pollution”, an unscientific way to say carbon dioxide. Let’s see this in action (Daily Caller) The U.S. […]

GOP Platform Proposes To “Get Rid Of National Parks And Forests” Or Something

Hey, who doesn’t like national forests and national parks? Personally, I think it’s great that we have them to protect the environment along with special places. However, there’s something a bit unhinged (shockingly) from this Jenny Rowland article in the Climate section of Think Progress GOP Platform Proposes To Get Rid Of National Parks And […]

Catching And Using Rainwater In Colorado Is A Criminal Offense

It’s rare that I will an article at Joe Romm’s George Soros funded Climate Progress that makes me bob my head in agreement, but, they usually avoid discussing real environmentalism, not too mention silly government laws In a state where recreational marijuana was legalized two years ago and extreme weather has caused serious concerns, one […]

Could A New Plastic Eating Bacteria Erase Plastic Pollution?

I may not believe in anthropogenic climate change, but I have always been an environmentalist. I despise pollution, and plastic pollution is a serious issue. The obvious way to deal with it is to stop polluting. Stop throwing plastics out in the street, if you will. Here’s a more realistic solution, because, let’s face it, […]
