The Big Green job-killing machine
Environmentalists wield powerful Endangered Species Act to kill jobs, impoverish families Ron Arnold The abuse of environmentalist power to hurt people never stops. “Another one gone,” began the Lost Coast Outpost’s report in late January. A.A. “Red” Emmerson, chairman of Sierra Pacific Industries, announced the permanent closure of its sawmill on Samoa Peninsula in Arcata, California – […]
What happened on Oahu didn’t stay on Oahu
Scientific detective work stopped cholera – now it needs to separate myths, mites and neonics Paul Driessen If modern activist groups held sway in the mid-nineteenth century, countless multitudes would have died from typhoid fever and cholera. The “miasma” paradigm held that the diseases were caused by foul air arising from putrid matter – and […]
Washington’s despotic lawlessness
We’ve had a “try and stop me” president. Now we need one who will invalidate those actions. Paul Driessen Washington is out of control. Legislators, judges and unelected bureaucrats want to control our lives, livelihoods and living standards, with no accountability even for major errors, calculated deception, or deliberate, often illegal assaults on our liberties and […]
Masters of disguise
‘Green’ evangelicals disguise anti-life policies as pro-life, perpetuating suffering and death E. Calvin Beisner, Janice Shaw Crouse and Austin Ruse The evangelical “creation care” movement professes to be pro-life and, for the most part, rightly so.

Ms. Nancy, natural gas is a fossil fuel.) “If I thought there was any evidence that drilling could […]
Last-ditch assaults on affordable energy
Obama and allies double down on biofuels and climate, and against carbon-based fuels Paul Driessen Separating reality from ideology and political agendas is difficult, but essential, if we are to revitalize our economy and help the world’s poorest families take their rightful places among Earth’s prosperous people. Energy reality is certainly in our favor. But ideological […]
Are wind turbines killing whales?
Environmentalists say navy sonar hurts whales, but ignore impacts of offshore wind farms Paul Driessen and Mark Duchamp Between January 9 and February 4 this year, 29 sperm whales got stranded and died on English, German and Dutch beaches. Environmentalists and the news media offered multiple explanations – except the most obvious and likely one: offshore […]
Remember the Climate!
Obama orders Pentagon, generals and admirals to make climate change Job One Paul Driessen Military triumphs and catastrophes have often hinged on how well (or luckily) armies and navies employed, avoided or benefited from weather and other natural events. Severe storms helped the British navy defeat Spain’s Armada in 1588. George Washington knew horrid weather […]
Tax oil to subsidize wind?
Obama wants to punish oil industry to advance climate agenda. So do Hillary, Bernie and Mike Paul Driessen If you want more of something, mandate it, subsidize it and exempt it from regulations. If you want less of something, punish it with taxes and regulations. Put more bluntly, the power to tax and regulate is the […]

Legates A century or so from now, based on current trends, today’s concentration of carbon dioxide in the air will have doubled. How much warming will that cause? The official prediction, 1.5-4.5 degrees […]
