Unethical Greenpeace actions threaten the livelihoods and lives of millions - Should corporate ethics principles apply only to profit-making companies? Or should they also cover nonprofit corporations, especially those that badger for-profits to be more “socially responsible”?

Should corporations be judged partly on creating jobs, supporting communities, or improving and saving lives? And should nonprofit corporations be penalized for impeding the enhancement of human life?

The answers should be self-evident. But they’re not, as US nonprofits and politicians have repeatedly demonstrated.

Senator Boxer is compounding the Climategate scandal with cover-up and obstruction - Aside from ideologues, hydrocarbon haters, Gaia worshipers, profiteers and power-grabbing politicians, most of the sentient world is beginning to realize that the hysteria over global warming disasters is based on dubious to fraudulent temperature data, analyses, models, reports and peer reviews.

Climate Research Unit emails, HARRY_READ_ME.txt computer memos, and blatant tampering with Australian, Russian, UK and US temperature data make the scandal impossible to ignore or explain away. They also helped ensure that Copenhagen descended into an expensive, carbon-emitting gabfest - and that China and India rejected any deal that would force them to curtail their energy generation, economic growth and poverty reduction programs.

Is there an exit strategy for this energy, environment and economic predicament? - Life in a box is better than no life at all, playwright Tom Stoppard famously opined, through the personage of Rosencrantz. (Or was it Guildenstern?)

That’s lucky for us, because our energy, environmental and economic policies have certainly put us in a box - and there is no easy way out.

Congress passed a $787-billion 'stimulus' bill, and a $3-billion cash-for-clunkers program that trashed perfectly good cars, and the energy and raw materials that created them. It’s halfway toward imposing nationalized healthcare that could cost taxpayers another $2.5 trillion over its first decade.

Why can’t you be more polite and stop questioning our integrity and science? Who can forget the classic confrontation between Humphrey Bogart and Alfonso Bedoya in Treasure of the Sierra Madre. It is now being reprised in living color featuring banditos from East Anglia, Penn State, Washington and the UN.

'We are Federales', they tell us. 'You know climate police. Evidence? We ain’t got no evidence! We don’t need no evidence! We don’t have to show you any stinkin’ evidence!'

The data manipulation and fraud stench is too strong to be ignored any longer - As frigid Copenhagen prepares for the upcoming Climate Armageddon confab, a predictable barrage of hothouse horrors has been unleashed, to advance proposals to slash hydrocarbon use and carbon dioxide emissions, restrict agriculture and economic growth, and implement global governance and taxation.

CO2 has reached a new high (0.0385% of the atmosphere), we’re told, because of cars and 'coal-fired factories of death.' Rising seas are forcing families to 'flee their homes.' Oceans are becoming 'toxic.' Climate change is driving Philippine women into prostitution. Higher temperatures will 'increase the likelihood of civil war in Sub-Saharan Africa' and 'bring human civilization to a screeching halt., The Associated Press, BBC and other 'mainstream' media dutifully regurgitate every press release.

Climate changes and their causes through the ages, as explained by Gore and modelers - Behind the persistent global warming scare is the hypothesis and assertion that increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are causing Earth to warm dangerously. The thesis is espoused most prominently by Al Gore, James Hansen, modelers and other alarmists. It is the fundamental assumption behind the computer models that consistently conjure up headline-grabbing climate change disaster scenarios.

A basic principle of geology and other sciences is that the same natural processes we observe today – erosion, plant growth, species evolution and so on – occurred in a similar manner throughout Earth’s history. Therefore, if carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are causing global warming today, they must have done so in the past, and certainly in the recent historic past.
