Cause for alarm?
Published on : Tuesday, May 25, 2010
As scientists and policy analysts who’ve studied our ever-changing climate for a combined 65 years and attribute the changes primarily to natural forces, we’ve wondered that ourselves and also asked: Why is warming always framed as bad news? Why does so much “research” claim a warmer planet “may” lead to more diarrhea, acne and childhood insomnia, more juvenile delinquency, war, violent crime and prostitution, death of the Loch Ness Monster – and even more Mongolian cows dying from cold weather?, writes Paul Driessen, Willie Soon and Davil Laget

A battle to redefine humanity

It's hard for a species used to ever-expanding frontiers, but survival depends on accepting we live within limits, writes George Monbiot.
Climate exaggerations creating unnecessary panic
Published on : Monday, June 15, 2009
Worrying excessively about global warming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, for example, on global warming's impact on malaria instead of tackling the half a billion people suffering from malaria today. Exaggeration also wears out the public's willingness to tackle global warming. If the planet is doomed, people wonder, why do anything? But the worst cost of exaggeration is the unnecessary alarm that it causes among children, writes Björn Lomborg in the Guardian.
Scare: Exposing the tactics of global warming mongers
Published on : Saturday, February 07, 2009
A video created on the scare tactics of global-warming alarmists was made by RapidResponse Media, Washington, DC. It launches The Heartland Institute's viral marketing campaign on the Internet to promote the second International Conference on Climate Change, taking place March 8-10 in New York City. The video shows the alarmist predictions and factual details, reports The Heartland Institute.
Ignore the Climate Change siren
Published on : Thursday, December 11, 2008
Prof. Julian Morris points out that only a few European governments are now pushing strongly for a new global cap and they are doing so because their own policies are causing economic pain. “Some European ministers are trying to foist their own flawed climate policies on the rest of the world – in order to spread the pain. For the sakes of humanity, this EU siren song should be ignored,” he concluded.
UK doctors: Limit families to two children 'to combat climate change'
Published on : Friday, July 25, 2008

Green coalition criticizes India’s climate plan
Published on : Thursday, July 03, 2008
This is an interim assessment by the 'Climate Challenge India' coalition of the Government of India's National Action Plan on Climate Change released on 30th June 2008. We welcome the report - which has been long in the making - and believe that a frank and full assessment of it is now needed with a view to setting a clear and ambitious direction on this vital agenda for our country. On balance, the verdict of the 'Climate Challenge India' coalition on the National Action Plan on Climate Change was a critical one. The group gave the report a B+ for effort, and a D for vision.
Conflicts fuelled by climate change causing new refugee crisis, warns UN
Published on : Tuesday, June 17, 2008
The UN refugee agency has issued a statement holding climate change responsible for fuelling a global crisis which has lead to an unparalleled increase in the number of refugees during 2007. Economic slowdown, poverty and scarcity of resources have forced millions of people to flee their homes to escape persecution and conflict, reports Julian Borger, diplomatic editor for The Guardian.
Climate change to trigger influx to India
Published on : Saturday, June 14, 2008
The effects of climate change is likely to accelerate the creation of more refugees and their movement into India. Among the areas that could be worst hit by inflow of such refugees could be regions lying close to Bangladesh and China which will have millions of people uprooted by climatic upheavals, reports a Staff Reporter in The Assam Tribune.
