How Much Energy Is Required For Two Slices Of Toast?

An important question an enviroweenie/Warmist wants answered from Grist (because your average E/W doesn’t seem to have the brainpower to do the Internet search themselves, so instead will ask someone else to do the work, thereby increasing the amount of energy needed to find the answer) Ask Umbra: Can my bicycle power my toaster? How […]

Hey, Are Enviroweenies Annoying?

Even enviros might notice that they are (via Tom Nelson) (Bloomberg) For an answer, Dumb Question visited with Mark Tercek, president of the Nature Conservancy (TNC) and a former Goldman Sachs investment banker who has embraced “natural capital.” It’s the concept in environmental economics that natural systems, such as storm-blocking coastal wetlands or water collection, […]

Bummer: Poets Can No Longer Write About The Eternal Sea

Cause “climate change”. I have some fresh baked Toll House chocolate chip cookies for anyone who can read the entire ramblin’ wreck of an article before we get to the end In the Era of Climate Change, Poets Can’t Write About the “Eternal Sea” – In literature, the classic metaphors for the ocean no longer […]

What Say To “Eco-Friendly” Psychiatry?

No, seriously. Apparently nutjob Warmists and envirowackos need mental health (via Climate Depot and Junk Science) Eco-Psychiatry: Why We Need to Keep the Environment in Mind If you’re thinking, “Aren’t I already dealing with a lot in my daily practice?” you are invited to spend the next few minutes listening to what Dr Steven Moffic […]

Oops: The Greek Yogurt Fad Creates Massive Amounts Of Fish Killing Acid Whey

No, this has nothing to do with “climate change”, but a real environmental issue (Grist) Bad news, Fage fans and Chobani lovers (we’re gonna call you “Chobuccaneers”).

As We Come Into Beach Season, Please, People, Clean Up Your Garbage

As I’ve said numerous times, just because I do not agree with man-induced “climate change” doesn’t mean I hate the environment. From my favorite New Climate Denier website, Grist (yeah, I cite them a lot) Back in 2012, 561,633 very nice people went out on beaches around the world and picked up the trash that other […]

Hooray! Fish And Wildlife OK With Condor Deaths From Wind Farms

So, How Do You Get Conservatives To Buy “Green”?

Joe Romm’s highly partisan and George Soros funded Think Progress links to a study cited at The Atlantic How Do You Get Conservatives to Buy Energy Efficient Products? Why do conservatives, who should have a natural inclination toward conservation, have a beef with energy efficiency? It could be tied to the political polarization of the […]

Happy Earth Day, Which Means We Need More Gun Control. And Lunatics

OK, not really, as to the 2nd part. 3rd part? Yeah. But, I’m sure some Warmist is thinking of a way to link “climate change” with grabbing guns. However, Earth Day apparently needs to change to become more religious and, um, wait, violent, per Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite? (Washington Post) On the 42nd Earth Day, April […]
