03/26/08 Green disaster hitting United States hard, Part II One dollar of every four in income goes to energy - and not just for the poorest families. Blame environmentalists for creating artificial scarcity and high energy prices with their No Drilling "energy policy" - which is really the No-Energy Policy we suffer under.

03/25/08 Green disaster hitting United States hard, Part I The U.S. has centuries of fossil fuels beneath our own soil, but environmental policy makes them useless. The artificial scarcity imposed by the powerful global warming lobby has driven gas prices beyond the reach of the working poor in an Alabama town.

03/16/08 MEMORABILIA While cleaning out old files, our staff came across an 18-year-old document from a remarkable conference held in 1990 by the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise commemorating the Multiple Use Sustained Yield Act of 1960 in conjunction with the Soviet Union and the U.S. Forest Service. The conference, titled Solving the Environmental Crisis, brought together Soviet and American activists who bridged the subsequent Soviet collapse and eventual cleanup efforts in the new Russia. Critics of CDFE were strangely silent about this landmark conference. Here is a scan of the only existing copy of the program of Solving the Environmental Crisis from 1990. PDF file, requires Adobe Acrobat reader.

03/13/08 INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Ferenc Miskolczi, an atmospheric physicist at NASA's Langley Research Center with three decades of experience, found that researchers have been repeating a mistake when calculating the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on temperatures. Miskolczi concluded that the Earth does a good job of adapting and self-regulating. His finding could explain why the warming that models have been predicting for decades has never materialized. NASA refused to publish the results. Miskolczi quit, citing in his resignation letter a clash between "the freedom of science" and NASA's censorship of "new climate change related scientific results." NASA doesn't want to fund research that refutes the Al Gore view that has eaten away reasoned thinking and has been adopted uncritically by much of the public, pushing us toward a fatal Energy Gap.
