New Global Warming Film Confronts Al Gore
Submitted by Michelle Oddis on 4.26.2007

Tuesday night was the last of three screenings across the country for the Pacific Research Institute’s (PRI) film An Inconvenient Truth, or a Convenient Fiction. PRI teamed up with Steven Hayward, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute to create this rebuttal to Gore’s Academy Award winning power-point presentation An Inconvenient Truth. It should be required viewing for those who claim they are “green” (and even those who are only a little queasy).


Earth Day 2007 - Time for a Review
Submitted by Michael R. Fox Ph.D. on 4.25.2007

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, the annual events have been an unrelenting criticism of the United States and its supposed abuses of the planet. Each seems presented as if the American environment were getting progressively worse.

New Washington Tool: The Docubuttal
Submitted by Matthew Swibel on 4.25.2007

If past increases in the earth's temperature preceded increases in greenhouse gases by as much as 1,000 years, could Al Gore have gotten wrong the reason for global warming and its linkage with greenhouse gas emissions?

Wearing the white hat for a green cause
Submitted by Randy Wyrick on 4.25.2007

Ignore the End Of The World Glee Club. When it comes to doing the right thing for our environment, we’re the good guys. Yeah, we, too, hear the constant Climate Change Chorus, sung loudly by Al Gore and the Global Warmers. And we hope it didn’t devour too many of our world’s precious natural resources manufacturing his Academy Award, although we’re pretty sure that particular carbon footprint would have been offset by him carpooling carpooling too the ceremony in a hybrid with Michael Moore, instead of taking a private jet.


Anti Gore Film to be Screened Before TriBeCa Festival
Submitted on 4.24.2007

Global warming skeptics are getting some support in a new documentary that calls Al Gore "an environmental extremist." The film will be screened on the eve of the TriBeCa Film Festival.

We're Not Going to Melt

Reports of the apocalypse have been greatly exaggerated

Forbes Commentary
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 4.23.2007

Right now the U.S. economy is "decarbonizing," that is, lowering the amount of carbon emissions per dollar of economic output, at a rate of about 1.5% per year. This is encouraging. The problem is that our economy grows faster than that rate--2.5% to 3% a year on average--so our overall carbon emissions continue to rise.



Getting cleaner every day
Submitted by Patrick McIlheran on 4.21.2007

Maybe "dying" is a too dramatic when talking about the Kinnickinnic River. Cheryl Nenn, a Friends of Milwaukee's Rivers activist and no Pollyanna, says the stream's ranking last week by another group as one of America's 10 most endangered isn't exactly scientific. It's a means of getting attention.



We’re Not Going to Melt
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 4.19.2007

As Earth Day dawns for the 38th year, climate change tops the agenda of environmental activists, thanks to former Vice President Al Gore’s Oscar-winning documentary and a flurry of scientific studies attempting to make sense of our planet’s dynamic climate

A Convenient Fiction
Submitted by Fred Barnes on 4.18.2007

Steve Hayward's rebuttal to "An Inconvenient Truth" won't thrill either the environmental crowd or Hollywood's liberal elite.
