Yet another case to add to the file which shows that a good chunk of the environmental and globull warming movements are about something other, namely, control of your lives. After some strange quote from Jonathan Swift about cooking children, due to the famines during the 18th and 19th centuries….wait, weren’t they caused by a […]

It’s Friday, and you are just dying to head out this weekend and meet some green-hotties who will yap your ear off about sustainability, recycling, an ice free Arctic in a hundred years, how you can reduce your carbon footprint (so she can continue driving her Hummer H3), and other romantic […]

One of Ask Umbra’s readers is concerned about the OB non-applicator tampons disappearing from shelves. The response is a bloody mess I’m so glad you wrote, Liza. Happy to be your guide to a more sustainable red tide. Some are calling it a Tampocalypse. But seriously, let’s not get overly alarmed. Sometimes disappearing tampons happen […]

Because I knew you needed some more from the unhinged: Eco-terrorism: the non-existent threat we spend millions policing This is what the head of a police unit set up to monitor domestic extremism said in 2009: “I’ve never said – and we don’t see – that any environmentalist is going to or has committed any […]

More and more lately, the climate alarmists have been beating the drum about the need to adapt to globull warming/climate change/catastrophic climate readjustment/whatever they are calling it right now. They may be insane, but, doesn’t mean they are stupid. Think Hannibal Lecter (yeah, I know he is a fictional character, but, then, globull warming is […]

I’ve written time and time again that the Warmists/enviro-weenies talk a good game about “alternative energy sources,” and love it in theory, yet, when push comes to actually building it, they say “Nyet”, in this case, the Ivanpah project A U.S. conservation group has sued the federal government over its approval of a major solar […]

Again, there is nothing wrong with environmentalism, and being environmentally conscious. Yet, have you ever noticed that so many of the self-proclaimed environmental champions always take it about 5 steps too far, and drift into La La Land? Case in point: Reflections on community gardens and the legacy of MLK Note: This is a version […]
