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

By /

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,

A Story of Change – But What Kind of Change?

By /

“Climate Scientists” and Mainstream Media Team Up Again to Incite Groundless Fears

By /

The mainstream media and global warming alarmists are at it again—confusing weather with climate, appealing to “tipping points,” doing their best to scare the public into the kind of panic that would let politicians commit us to budget-busting, economy-crippling, liberty-destroying policies to fight it. Last week CNN breathlessly reported, “More record warmth as scientists warn
