NYT “Green Column” Promotes Renewable Efforts in Australia that Collide with Economic Realities

Supposedly, Australia's ambitious clean energy network will cost households just eight dollars a week over the next ten years, the NYT declares in a recent report. But new studies show that renewable, green technology is quite costly and cannot be sustained without government intervention. These facts go missing from the report... So called renewable energy sources comprise just 6 percent of Australia’s power supplies, but this could change dramatically in the next few years if environmentali...

Political Class Substitutes Renewable Needs for Global Warming Hysteria Without Media Scrutiny

President Obama is using the Deepwater Horizon oil spill as a new rationale for energy legislation that has been stalled on Capitol Hill. The New York Times comes oh, so close to prope...

Political Fallout from “Climategate” Alarms New York Times

After playing it straight for a few paragraphs, The New York Times reverts back to its old self and offers up the usual apologies for discredited global warming research. But there are some startling admissions worth noting here. Public opinion in Britain and America is moving away from the U.N. position and more in the direction of economic freedom.
