Osama bin Laden blames the United States for ‘global warming‘ in a new audio tape played today on Al Jazeera television.

The AP’s latest global warming piece reads a little less like science and a little more like 2012. I guess they missed the leaked emails?

A Poll, released this morning by Rasmussen Reports, shows falling support for Al Gore’s favorite subject — Belief in man-made global warming is dwindling. Nearly half (48%) blame long-term planetary trends for recent warming (and cooling, in other spots). Rasmussen also points out that the believers are divided along party lines, sharply. A majority (51%) of Democrats believe in man-made warming while only 19% of Republicans think we’ve got something to worry about. I guess (someone tap Al Gore…

And if the fans don’t work (and does anyone with a brain think that they will?), the Obama administration has a backup plan: shoot more ‘polution’ into the atmosphere to somehow(?) fix the problem. Confused? Don’t worry, I think they are as well. It’s sort of like that South Park episode with the underwear gnomes. Phase 1: Collect Underpants. Phase 2: ? Phase 3: Profit. Except this isn’t an animated comedy show.

Increased Number Think Global Warming Is “Exaggerated”

As recently as 2006, significantly more Americans thought the news underestimated the seriousness of global warming than said it exaggerated it, 38% vs. 30%. Now, according to Gallup’s 2009 Environment survey, more Americans say the problem is exaggerated rather than underestimated, 41% vs. 28%.
Al Gore would like to believe the ‘time for debate is over‘ but the American public seems to disagree. And opposition to global warming alarmism is…

I hate to explode out of the box (on a day sure to be dominated by President Obama’s prime-time speech on the economy) with two stories on climate change, but this one seems to fit. A NASA satellite, with a price tag clearing a quarter of a billion dollars, meant to track ‘carbon emissions’ crashed into the ocean today.

As our banks continue to collapse and the United States is ushered further into debt, the WaPo frontpages a story about some made up word — ‘ecomigration‘.

Adam Fier recently sold his home, got rid of his car and pulled his twin 6-year-old girls out of elementary school in Montgomery County. He and his wife packed the family’s belongings and moved to New Zealand — a place they had never visited or seen before, and where they have

Al Gore’s hysteria is catching on like a climate change-induced wildfire:
Nearly one-out-of-four voters (23%) say it is at least somewhat likely that global warming will destroy human civilization within the next century. Five percent (5%) say it’s very likely.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 66% say it’s not likely that civilization will be destroyed by the year 2100. That includes 27% who say it is not at all likely.

Well, maybe no one is a bit overdoing it but still…

As Barack Obama takes office, the public’s focus is overwhelmingly on domestic policy concerns – particularly the economy. Strengthening the nation’s economy and improving the job situation stand at the top of the public’s list of domestic priorities for 2009. Meanwhile, the priority placed on issues such as the environment, crime, illegal immigration and even reducing health care costs has fallen off from a year ago.

NEW YORK — It’s not just the “Planet in Peril.” The ratings for CNN’s two-hour environmental special last week were also in crisis.
The second installment of the series landed in third place in the adults 25-54 demographic and fourth place in viewers for its 9 p.m.-11 p.m. Thursday premiere, Nielsen Media Research said.
That is despite strong ratings for the original four-hour series “Planet in Peril,” in October 2007, as well as reported pieces by Anderson Cooper, Dr.

A new Irish film claims that climate change guru Al Gore is an alarmist and that those who think they are saving the planet are only hurting the poor
IF THE ADVANCE publicity is anything to go by, Not Evil Just Wrong will do for Al Gore what Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 did for George W Bush.
Bad News: The film isn’t quite finished. Good News: It looks pretty promising.

President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team is flirting with creating a White House “Climate Czar,” but climate change crusader Al Gore says he doesn’t want the job.
The Obama team declined to comment on such a post, even as environmentalists and power industry executives say it’s being widely discussed inside the transition offices as a way to spur a clean energy industry, which Mr. Obama has promised will ween the U.S. from foreign oil and create millions of “green jobs.”

Each of these floating cities are designed to hold approximately around 50,000 people. A mixed terrain man-made landscape, provided by an artificial lagoon and three ridges, create a diverse environment for the inhabitants. Each Lilypad is intended to be either near a coast, or floating around in the ocean, traveling from the equator to the northern seas, according to where the gulf stream takes it.
The project isn’t even close to happening anytime soon, but there is value in
