Who are you going to believe? The Green claim of global warming or the huge piles of snow left behind by the latest record-setting blizzard? The one thing that the claim of global warming has achieved is the debasement and perversion of science. This corruption has been foisted on the world by environmentalists who hate science that does not conform to their political and social agendas. They use the facade of science to advance their ceaseless attacks on industrialization and modern technology. Their purpose is to force the reduction of energy sources, primarily petroleum, but including coal, and, surprisingly,...

Piscataway gets OK to condemn farmland December 3, 2002 By Patrick Jenkins, Star-Ledger Staff pjenkins@starledger.com 732-634-3607 To submit a Letter to the Editor: eletters@starledger.com The future of the Cornell Dairy Farm was decided yesterday when a state judge granted Piscataway the power to condemn property that has been at the center of a bitter, three-year legal battle between the Halper family and township officials. Superior Court Assignment Judge Robert Longhi rejected arguments by Halper attorney John J. Reilly to dismiss the condemnation proceeding. Longhi restated his ruling from June 2000 that Piscataway had a legitimate purpose in taking the 75-acre...

Green and animal rights organizations do not subsist on the sale of calendars, books, and stuffed animals. They are wealthy beyond the comprehension of most Americans and others who support them in the belief they are "protecting the environment" and saving animals from "cruelty" and "extinction." You will be astonished to learn that there are more than 4,000 environmental groups in America today. "And the number is growing," warns Ron Arnold of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, "and they are really out to get you." Worse, they have the clout and the money to do it."...

LEONIA, N.J. -- There's a dispute going to court in New Jersey over what can politely be called the disposal of canine waste. Rick Heckman is accused of trespassing with his dog Shiner on William Ramos' narrow strip of grass in front of his home. Shiner apparently left a calling card behind. Ramos says there is an ordinance in Leonia that a dog owner must get the property owner's permission before the dog is allowed to do what it needs to do. Heckman says the strip of grass is a public right-of-way. A prosecutor says there is some logic...

<p>ITHACA -- Picture this: A single Cornell University student consumes 140 pounds of reading material and 56,000 cases of paper are used and disposed at the campus each year.</p> <p>To help people visualize these facts, one artist is inviting people to go to Cornell Arboretum and take a walk to Newman Park and inside Slim Jim Woods. There visitors will find a symbolic representation of the consequences of viewing a forest as a natural resource.</p>

Whistleblower Points to Illegal Klamath Water Decision WASHINGTON, DC, October 28, 2002 (ENS) - Documents filed by a federal whistleblower charge that the scientific determination of water levels needed to support threatened coho salmon in the Klamath River was changed without any biological analysis. That change would violate the Endangered Species Act, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), a group that has posted the documents on its website. The documents were part of a whistleblower disclosure filed today by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) fisheries biologist Michael Kelly with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. The conclusion...

<p>ITHACA -- Richard Sabol's customers come to the Ithaca Farmers' Market to buy his potatoes and garlic because his produce is tasty and local, and because they like the farming methods he uses.</p> <p>Sabol's customers know that he doesn't use any synthetic pesticides, genetically modified seeds or sewage sludge as fertilizer. His methods don't pose a threat to the environment, and compared to much larger operations, he farms lightly on the land.</p>

Black carbon soot from coal burning, diesel engines, open fires and other sources is contributing to global warming ( news - web sites) and climate change in China and India, researchers report. A study appearing in Friday's issue of the Science magazine is based on computer modeling at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies by researchers Surabi Menon and James Hansen. "If our interpretation is correct, then reducing the amount of black carbon or soot may help diminish the intensity of floods in the south and droughts in the northern areas of China, in addition to having human health...

CNSNews.com) - Tens of thousands of people, at a cost of more than $50 million, are about to descend on Johannesburg, South Africa to address United Nations-sponsored treaties dealing with climate change and eco-friendly development. Ironically, the 60,000 people attending the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development are projected to create the same amount of pollution during the ten days of the summit as nearly half a million Africans do during the course of an entire year. The items scheduled to be addressed in Johannesburg between Aug. 26-Sept. 4 include climate change, efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions,...

I've completed most of the website for the local Naples Florida area organization taking part in the Sawgrass Rebellion. The Property Rights Action Committee is made up primarily of local people who live in the afflicted area and who are fighting tooth and nail to protect our property from the power hungry enviro-creeps who want to use our land and tax money to advance a political agenda. If you need more info as to what it's all about and why we're doing this, click the links below. There is lots of background information, directions to the event, accommodations and early registration...

The Green Party: Targeting Capitalism By Alan Caruba Published 08. 4. 02 at 21:48 Sierra Time The Green Party has 362 candidates running in 39 States. If they can tap into the uncertainty and resentment of voters, they are likely to draw votes from Democrats in the mid-term elections. Political analysts believe Ralph Nader's run for the presidency in 2000 took enough votes from Al Gore to give George W. Bush a narrow victory. Unless the economy totally implodes by November 2002, the far left may well contribute to insuring that the Bush White House and the Republican Party regains...

On March 14, 2002, a program to capture the Capitalist system and control it for the purpose of advancing the twisted values of environmentalism was spelled out in a presentation titled "Restructuring the Global Economy." This was a rare occasion when deliberate deception was not used to mask the Green's true intentions. According to the Greens behind this plan, "Economic globalization is the greatest single contributor to the massive ecological crisis of our time, yet this is an aspect that is often ignored by the media, NGOs, policymakers, and citizens. Its inherent emphasis on increased trade requires corresponding expansion...

Canada lynx study scientists defended Group says state biologists met code of ethics Dan Hansen Staff writer They've been vilified by some in Congress, some in the Legislature, some of their peers, and editorial writers nationwide. In the eyes of government critics, they stand as proof that "bad science" rules natural resource decisions. But two Washington biologists were cleared of wrongdoing in the eyes of their peers within an international organization of wildlife scientists. And a media watchdog group recently issued a report that the story of a lynx study gone awry was blown out of proportion by journalists...

Eco - LogicOn - Line 7/15/2002 The smoking gun... How Environmentalists Intend to Rule the World By Ron Arnold Critics have long believed environmentalists were planning global domination. The problem with making a credible case against such an ambitious plan was simple: no environmental leader had published one. Yet conflicts over global warming, world trade, multinational corporations, population control, sustainable futures, and transnational government left little doubt that environmentalists in fact shared the unspoken aim of wielding supreme power over a green future. But there was no proof. For years, critics, lacking hard evidence, were reduced to piecing together a...

Buried in an astounding amount of unconstitutional pork within the new Farm Bill (signed by President Bush May 13, 2002) is a key provision, the brainchild of Congressman Wayne T. Gilchrest, from Maryland’s 1st District. In the works for over two years, Gilchrest’s "project" would create the Delmarva (Delaware-Maryland-Virginia) Conservation Corridor(s). Ostensibly designed to "find a way to help sustain agriculture…and help guarantee the environmental integrity of the Delmarva Peninsula for generations to come", according to Gilchrest, "…the Secretary of Agriculture will be able to direct conservation funding on a priority basis to the most economically and ecologically valuable land...

Article exposes the machinations of America's most active traitor and anthrax hoaxer, Dr. Barbara Hatch Rosenberg, aka Dr. Strangelove, who has just begun yet another of her periodic agitprop campaigns.

Article shows how the notion that the anthrax killer was a "home-grown" terrorist was concocted and spread by Marxist professor Barabara Hatch Rosenberg, who stole her theory from a TV series.

You may have heard in the news, an ice shelf (called Larsen B) on the eastern side of the Antarctic peninsula has broken up into a mosaic of smaller icebergs. Global warming was immediately blamed. As has been the case with many such claims in recent years, it is not supported by the facts. First to have global warming, one needs warmer temperatures. Antarctica has not warmed as some have claimed. In fact, 98% of the continent is colder than it was 20 years ago. This is despite the fact that global warming theory predicts these polar regions should be...

In the story "Is This Warm Winter a Sure Sign of Global Warming?" we looked at a number of factors that cause changes in global mean temperatures on both the short and long term. We showed that although most of the attention in recent years has been on the greenhouse gases as the primary driver of the global temperature trends, it may still be a relative "bit player" in the climate ride we, like it or not, all find ourselves on. When I give a talk or write on the subject of climate change, I frequently get the response "How...

THREE days before Christmas 1996, Chris Van de Werken, an environment officer in the sleepy little town of Nunspeet, 40 miles east of Amsterdam, went jogging in the woods near his home. He never came back. Alerted by gunshots, passers-by found Van de Werken's body on a cycle path. Although dozens of people were questioned, no motive was established and nobody was charged. In April 1997 the inquiry was closed. Five years later it has been reopened. This weekend, as the Netherlands mourned Pim Fortuyn, the populist right-wing politician, police were investigating links between his assassination last Monday and what...
