Many complaints of the costs of environmental (and other) regulations give us the view from 30,000 feet. In his new article “The Long Arm of the European Community,” at American Thinker, Norman Rogers paints the picture at ground level—and it isn’t pretty. It’s not just that the regulations impose enormous costs but also that they often are

Nuclear engineer James H. Rust, over at the Heartland Institute, has just posted a clear, concise, factual piece refuting the claim that there’s a “dirty war” to stop expansion of solar energy in the United States. I won’t get into the stuff about the “dirty war”—which is entirely bogus, and Rust demonstrates just why—but thought it

The Smithsonian.com, a reliable cheerleader for global warming alarmism, published a celebratory article yesterday reporting that carbon dioxide injected into the earth in Iceland turned into rock, promising to offset global warming from CO2 emissions. But while continuing research keeps reducing the amount of warming estimated to eventuate from CO2 emissions, other continuing research confirms

Dear Attorneys General, You’re not stupid. Stupid people don’t graduate from law school. Neither are you generally ignorant. You know lots of law. But the day of the “Renaissance man,” vastly learned across all fields of knowledge, is long gone. All intelligent and learned people are ignorant about some things. So, U.S. Attorney General Loretta

As medium-term global average atmospheric temperature trends continue to diverge sharply from predictions based on global warming alarmists’ hypotheses about CO2’s warming effect, climate feedbacks, and computer models expressing those hypotheses, the alarmists have increasingly turned to other reasons for pursuing the economic (especially energy) policies they prefer: “weather weirding,” “extreme weather,” ocean “acidification,” “coral
