By: Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D, Michael Noffsinger on 7.28.2011
The U.S. Supreme Court recently rebuffed environmentalists in their bid to get the judiciary to intervene in the global-warming controversy by invoking the old common law of nuisance, as though global warming could be solved through an injunction.
Spectacular Waste in Redwood Forests
By: Steven Greenhut on 7.13.2011
As I took the nearly six-hour drive from the Sacramento area, past Ukiah and up to Eureka, through the heart of California’s redwood- forested North Coast, I was reminded of the spectacular beauty of California.

After a bruising battle over cap and trade last year, President Obama has set his sights on another target — oil and natural gas companies.

Enough with blaming agriculture for the world’s environmental woes! According to a new report released by the San Francisco, Calif.-based Pacific Research Institute, the environmental impact of raising crops and livestock is often misconstrued.

AB 32: Cost now, benefits later … maybe
By: Julie Kaszton on 11.21.2010
During the recent election, the spin on Proposition 23 became drearily familiar. Voters who favored it were backing "greedy oil companies," as Gov.
