I found two nifty articles this weekend, one in the Australian and the other courtesy of Power Line (from the UK Economist), both discussing the increasing statistical problem with so-called climate change models. I just love this title: Twenty-year hiatus in rising temperatures has climate scientists puzzled So I decided to read further: I found [...]

Sustainability Marxism by Tom DeWeese We’ve been saying it for years – sustainable development is really just a disguised Marxism, with its top down control of economic decisions, violation of private property rights and emphasis on Social Justice, a term, incidentally, coined by non- other than Karl Marx (so what was your first clue?). Well, [...]

http://www.youtube.com/gopweeklyaddress ‘Now, it is true that my blueprint does not rely on new mandates or new regulations to achieve these goals. And it doesn’t drive up taxes or energy prices. It doesn’t limit choice or lavish subsidies. Now, there are some who continue to believe that those options represent the best or perhaps the [...]

In a must-read editorial today, The Wall Street Journal writes, “Only Congress could do something like this. All eyes are on the fiscal-cliff negotiations to trim the $1 trillion-plus budget deficit. Running alongside but largely out of public view is a $60.4 billion emergency spending bill to provide relief to the victims of superstorm Sandy. Trouble is, the [...]

I am keenly interested in the Constitution Party these days. I was glad to see former Congressman Virgil Goode get nominated, although I thought he could have been stronger in the October 23 debate in Chicago. I would have summarized the platform, challenged Green Party candidate Jill Stein on Citizens United a so-called climate change [...]

The Council has spoken, the votes have been cast, and the results are in for this week’s Watcher’s Council match up. Even taking into consideration the normal high level of quality in both the Council and Non-Council entries, this was a tough call with some exceptional pieces to choose from, and the close vote [...]

UKIP has some good news this week: First, a Conservative member of the European Parliament (MEP) from the UK, Roger Helmer, has switched parties from the Tories to the United Kingdom Independence Party! Here’s excerpts from the BBC report: “UKIP better represents the views of Conservative voters than David Cameron’s Conservative Party,” he said, on [...]

This is an interesting nexus of the UKIP fight against EU and world government and Ron Paul! Lord Monckton, climate change skeptic and foe of world government, has for all practical purposes endorsed Ron Paul for President: “If people want to vote for Ron Paul, that is thier choice, and they should have the absolute right to [...]

Several days ago the government of Canada sensibly withdrew from the sovereignty killer known as Kyoto. (Thankfully the US never joined, no thanks to former Vice President Al Gore.) But, ICLEI has already shown just what a Fifth Column it is. Here is what the Mayor of Vancouver, BC, Canada as reported by this environmental [...]

The Durban Climate Conference is winding down and there will be no binding agreement on so-called climate change. This is good news. But ICLEI was busy at the Waste of Time called the Durban Climate Conference coming up with new goals and plans for local governments to implement Agenda 21.

Everybody is having a field day (especially former Ambassador Jon Huntsman – see below) on Texas Governor Rick Perry’s position on creation. On Thursday, he said evolution had “holes” in it and was unworthy of belief. (Go here for more on this!) Perry followed up on it Friday. Here’s the Huffington Post’s take on it: [...]
