By Trenton Hansen

The New York Times is asserting that global warming may be the cause for the recent snowfall that has smashed previous records in Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia.
The previous record for Washington D.C. was set in the 1860’s winter of 1898-99, which prompts a question. Does the New York Times also believe that the previous [...]

Obamanomics: Green Jobs = Pay Cuts

By Trenton Hansen

A new post from Steve Milloy’s Green Hell Blog reveals that Obama’s much touted “green jobs” are not such a great thing after all.

More Eco-stupidity

By Trenton Hansen

We could have told them so—that is, if they would ever listen.
I’m talking about the Leftists (Environmentalists and Socialists) who insist on changing aspects of society without having anything acceptable with which to replace them. That goes for products as well. Spokane County, WA is learning this the hard way. The Greens up North thought [...]

Ecoslavery

By Trenton Hansen

This is just evil.
Cap and trade, in other words, is a scheme to redistribute income and wealth — but in a very curious way. It takes from the working class and gives to the affluent; takes from Miami, Ohio, and gives to Miami, Florida; and takes from an industrial America that is already struggling and [...]
