William Perry Pendley, a Cheyenne native who served as BLM director under President Trump, said John Kerry showed an "unbelievable level of disconnect" in saying his concern with the war in Ukraine is its CO2 emissions, not terrible loss of life. William Perry Pendley said he couldn’t believe what he was hearing when U.S. Climate envoy John Kerry said his concern with the war in Ukraine was how it was contributing to climate change. The Cheyenne native, who served as acting Bureau of Land Management (BLM) director under President Trump and deputy secretary of the Interior under Ronald Reagan, said...

Do cows and tennis balls boost global warming? February 21, 2005 Cows and sheep grazing in fields, joggers' shoes or even refrigerators could all be targeted under a new United Nations pact meant to rein in global warming. The Kyoto protocol, which came into force last week, is an attempt to put the brakes on a build-up of heat-trapping gases that many scientists fear will trigger more heat waves, droughts and floods and could raise global sea levels by almost a meter by 2100. And tennis balls may be an infinitesimal part of the problem. Kyoto focuses on cutting carbon...

Clear Skies, Hazy Logic By Joel Schwartz The Bush administration contends coal-fired power plants kill tens of thousands of Americans each year. The administration claims its Clear Skies Initiative, which would cut power plant emissions by about 70 percent, will reduce this toll by 12,000 per year and eliminate 370,000 asthma attacks, conferring more than $90 billion worth of health benefits on the American public. Environmental groups counter that Clear Skies will kill tens of thousands by not reducing emissions faster and further. All of these claims are false. Clear Skies will raise electricity prices while providing few or no...

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The United Nations said on Monday Iraq, seeking to avert a threatened U.S. invasion, would submit a new report on VX nerve gas and anthrax stocks in a week's time, as Baghdad scrapped more of its banned missiles. Reuters Photo (Reuters Video)   A key U.S. and British charge against Iraq has been that it has failed to account for all the chemical and biological agents that were slated for destruction after the 1991 Gulf War. Britain pooh-poohed the latest Iraqi concessions. "Given the history of deception, cheating and lies it is understandable that we should...

When frigid air clamped down on the eastern half of the United States last month, the likely response to a question about global warming would have been, ''Bring it on.'' As strange as it sounds, however, the United States could see more and longer such cold snaps if nothing is done about global warming. That's right. Scientists keeping tabs on the Earth's oceans are concerned that global warming could actually lead to dangerously cold weather in North America and Europe. The notion defies common sense, but the underlying physics are worth the close attention of citizens and national policymakers who...
