Green activists 'are keeping Africa poor'.
Speaking before a keynote lecture tonight to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, of which he is president, Sir David said that the slow pace of African development was linked directly to Western influence. “I'm going to suggest, and I believe this very ...

Just by looking at who thinks it's wrong.
Instead of going for sweeping changes that could cost Montanans jobs, the EQC opted for small changes that, while I don't agree with some of them, are more common-sense approaches that aren't radical changes with massive unintended consequences.
Mostly, though, I'm pleased that the ...

There's an old saw about American politics: Keep Democrats out of the boardroom and Republicans out of the bedroom.

Unless I fat-fingered my calculator, in ...

James has a great post over at 2nd Grade Bike Rack (you should ask him the story behind that name one of these days) talking about "Exhibit 32" from the last Environmental Quality Council. He wasn't able to post it at Blogspot, but he was kind enough to ...

You should really give the whole thing a read, but if you don't have time, here's the important part:
So the bottom line is this: When it comes to future climate, no one knows what they’re talking about. No one. Not the IPCC nor its scientists, not the US National Academy ...

...based on bad science. But we've covered that already. Here is a peer-reviewed study from the Montana Policy Institute that comes to the same conclusion. You can read the entire report here. (And gird yourselves for some wailing and gnashing!)

Er, I mean DEQ launches Climate Change Web site.
Judging from the site's content, they're one and the same, aren't they?

Citizens' Voice Subverted by Agenda-Driven Interests?
There is a nifty think tank down in Bozeman, called PERC, the Property and Environment Resource Center. They're pretty low-key, but they do put out some good stuff. Mostly, they are focused on market-based solutions to environmental problems.
I've linked to their stuff at ...

Relax citizen! There is no need to worry about your thermostat!
We will take care of it for you!
Why don't we just put radio-controlled light switches in, while we're at it. Let's not forget our ovens, which draw quite a bit of juice. And what about our fridges ...
