s Green Socialism EPA's Real Goal? Posted 10/27/2010 07:22 PM ET EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson has made "environmental justice" a priority. AP View Enlarged Image Government: While it destroys jobs with its regulations, the EPA has an opening for an "environmental protection specialist" whose job it is to help the agency meet its "environmental justice goals." Meet its what? If socialism and environmentalism had a child, it would be called the Environmental Protection Agency. Established under President Nixon to ensure the quality of our air and water, it has become a tool of social engineering to implement President Obama's promised...

Over the past few months, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has witnessed the nation's energy secretary applauding companies for leaving the group, activists masquerading as its officials to hold a mock press conference, and now, protesters attempting to take over its building. And this is all because the group doesn't agree that global warming is man-made and that federal cap-and-trade policies are the answer to stopping it. Last Thursday, Greenpeace brought ladders to the chamber's D.C. headquarters, located directly across from the White House, to wrap yellow "crime scene" tape around the building. Roughly a dozen protesters descended on the...

COPENHAGEN — Has Copenhagen collapsed? That seems to be the growing sentiment inside the city's Bella Conference Center, where officials, environmentalists and even delegates to the international climate conference began streaming out Friday evening. What began with excitement and anticipation two weeks ago ended Friday night with disappointment and anger for thousands. "This is a sad day for my country," said Mama Konate, chief delegate from the West African nation of Mali. "We have worked very hard to reach this agreement. And now it seems over. Without a deadline, I don't know if we will ever finish." The conference, the...

I cannot condone some things that colleagues of mine wrote or requested in the e-mails recently stolen from a climate research unit at a British university. But the messages do not undermine the scientific case that human-caused climate change is real. The hacked e-mails have been mined for words and phrases that can be distorted to misrepresent what the scientists were discussing. In a Dec. 9 op-ed, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin argued that "The e-mails reveal that leading climate 'experts' . . . manipulated data to 'hide the decline' in global temperatures." Yet the e-mail she cites was written...

MONTEREY BAY NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY, Calif. – Far from Copenhagen's turbulent climate talks, the sea lions, harbor seals and sea otters reposing along the shoreline and kelp forests of this protected marine area stand to gain from any global deal to cut greenhouse gases. These foragers of the sanctuary's frigid waters, flipping in and out of sight of California's coastal kayakers, may not seem like obvious beneficiaries of a climate treaty crafted in the Danish capital. But reducing carbon emissions worldwide also would help mend a lesser-known environmental problem: ocean acidification. "We're having a change in water chemistry, so 20...

Here is video showing flag-waving Communists and Socialists marching in the streets of Copenhagen in support of radical steps to stop the Global Warming hysteria they believe in. Many held banners attacking "Capitalism," and saying things like "Long Live Socialism." Many communist flags are visible featuring the "hammer and sickle." They marched in connection with the "Climate Change Summit" being held in Copenhagen. . . . (VIDEO)

ClimateGate Research Unit Disables Its Website By Noel Sheppard Created 2009-12-14 10:03 The Climatic Research Unit at the heart of the ClimateGate [0] scandal has taken down most of the information previously available at its website. Prior to November's release of controversial e-mail messages and documents from Britain's University of East Anglea, there was a separate website for the institution's CRU that allowed readers to review articles and studies created by and for the Unit. Now, no matter what link one tries to access via a Google search, it directs you to a page that reads: "Due to the present...

This is a true fairytale.Once Upon a Time.... in an area in the Grand Americas known as "The Great Northern Growlands" lived the Earth Keepers.The Earth Keepers were a very peaceful people who worked hard and were good stewards of the land that God had given them. Although the work was hard, there was much love, joy and prosperity in The Growlands. The children played and the yearly harvests were abundant. The Earth Keepers’ farmers grew food to feed their people and the Earth Keepers’ lumberjacks chopped wood to make toys for their children and houses for their families.Not only...

Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. - Winston Churchill, October 29, 1941Yes folks, to the bitter disappointment of our detractors, the Sawgrass Rebellion is moving forward at Godspeed.

A CSE core principle: "Environmental laws must respect the rights of property owners." For years, this principle has been violated by radical environmental groups. The Sierra Club, the Wilderness Society, the Nature Conservancy and others have relentlessly filed lawsuits, misusing the Endangered Species Act to restrict property use and confiscate private property without compensation.. Such groups, following an insatiable desire to acquire more lands for non-human use, are attempting to drive rural Americans off their land and into cities as part of "Wildlands Project" and "Sustainable Development" agendas. Logging in the West has essentially been shut down, making us dependent...
