One Small Step toward Reining in the EPA

A Cincinnati-based federal court recently put a hold on the federal EPA’s controversial “Waters of the United States” rule that would have put farm ponds, drainage ditches, and similar waters, by no means navigable, under its rule, constituting a huge expansion of EPA authority at the expense of states’ sovereignty and property owners’ rights. As […]

Senate Committee Issues Damning Report on EPA’s “Sue and Settle” Practices

The Senate Environment & Public Works Committee last month issued a damning 73-page report, by the Committee’s Majority Staff, exposing the widespread and corrupting use of “sue and settle” practices by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the Obama Administration, to form and promote its policies. It’s not pleasant reading, and citizens who favor transparency, accountability,

It’s Official: July 2015 Is, and Isn’t, the Hottest Month on Record!

NOAA breathlessly reports, “July 2015 was warmest month ever recorded for the globe.” CNN, USA Toady—oops, that’s USA Today—, BBC, and lots of other mainstream media lapdogs all obediently reported it. But laymen need to pause for a deep breath before panicking. First, “ever recorded” means back to 1880 (conveniently leaving out the Holocene Climate Optimum,

Monday, July 1, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) violated the law by imposing regulations on mercury emissions from power plants without first doing thorough benefit/cost estimates.

Supreme Court Gets One Right: Strikes Down EPA’s Mercury Regulation

On Tuesday, June 30, the US Supreme Court issued its decision on Michigan v. EPA, regarding the EPA’s regulation of mercury emissions from power plants. Burning coal and oil releases mercury into the atmosphere, which scientists have said can eventually be absorbed into fish and thereby wind up in humans who eat the fish. Excess mercury can

Obama’s “Climate Education and Literacy Initiative”: How Do You Spell “I-N-D-O-C-T-R-I-N-A-T-I-O-N”?

With Obamacare obviously failing to provide promised affordable health care and falling apart in the face of legal challenges and states’ refusal to participate, it’s becoming increasingly clear that President Obama has decided to make ending “climate change” his legacy. “If you believe, like I do, that something has to be done on this, then

American Lung Association in Cahoots with EPA

A new American Lung Association (ALA) television ad supports the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed new rule requiring a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions from power plants by 2030, pushing the lie that CO2 emissions are harmful to human health. The ALA ad, entitled “a mother’s instinct,” shows a child’s toy, a baby monitor, and

Congressional Doctors Warn EPA’s CO2 Rule Threatens Public Health

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims that its new rule restricting carbon dioxide emissions from power plants will improve Americans’ health. Yet carbon dioxide (CO2) isn’t poisonous at levels more than 20 times what they now are—levels we wouldn’t likely reach for a thousand years or more even without restrictions on emissions, and even if

NASA’s Children’s Climate Change Website, and the book 1984: Creating Spies One Child at a Time

What would you say if your child accused you of a thought crime, and turned you in to the thought police? Would you say it was ridiculous? Perhaps you would say, “There is no ‘thought crime’ in the United States.” Surely your children would never try to accuse you of a crime or try to change your behavior. Well,
