Four Colossal Holes in the Theory of Man-Made Global Warming

John Hawkins "So, why is it that the people who insist that man-made global warming is occurring right now can't come up with coherent answers to many of the most basic problems with the ideas that undergird their theory?"

NPR pressures [Mara Liasson] over her Fox News appearances

Ethel C. Fenig , AT "The White House campaign against Fox News is bearing some poisonous fruit--censorship. Josh Gerstein of Politico relates how executives at National Public Radio (NPR), which proudly labels itself as "listener supported," exerted pressure on one of its major correspondents to forgo her appearances on Fox News.

Criminalizing profit?

Rick Moran , AT "Needless to say, such a broad mandate opens the door to political machinations in prosecuting companies and executives who might not toe the Obama party line.

What to Think about Global Warming

Kevin Williamson , NRO "Given the stakes in the global-warming debate ...conservatives should not simply dismiss the Copenhagen talks, even though the revelations of Climategate may tempt us to do so. The debate is polarized, and it is natural to throw one’s lot in with one camp or another — The World Is Ending vs. Global Warming Is a Hoax — but there are more than two propositions to consider.
