If You Want Support for Climate Change Policies, Then Report It Correctly

The news media’s reporting on climate change is always gloom and doom, but as George Ahearn points out, they are basing their reports off junk science.

The biggest myth in American journalism is that climate news is covered as a science when we all know it is covered as a political left or right issue. Since the press has already decided that the matter is scientifically settled, you rarely get any good news, mostly Armageddon.

The Sustainability Bugaboo and the Price of Green Political Correctness

Steven Pinker looks at sustainability and what it cannot be allowed to mean if we value progress. It’s not the green political correctness pushed on us.

Add Steven Pinker to the list of rational thinkers who proclaim we need to stop playing games of green political correctness if we value positive change. Sustainability, as fractivists and other environmental extremists would apply the term, has become a bugaboo preventing us from giving our children a better…

How the DRBC Could Have Kept the Power On Last Thursday

The DRBC offices were closed last Thursday as electrical outages forced a shutdown. That’s not much of a problem, but there is a solution. It’s natural gas.

When the DRBC offices in West Trenton, New Jersey, had to shut down last Thursday, March 8, the cheers began among my friends, neighbors and relatives. Shutting down the DRBC is next best thing to free beer. The agency has been doing everything it can, in cooperation with the Delaware Povertykeeper to…
