A business advocacy group fears California's historic law to address global warming is nothing more than a blank check for state government.

Dear Mr. Herger,I post my opinions on my website, dumbplumber@blogspot.com, but it doesn’t take a Dumbplumber to realize that America is facing it’s biggest threat since 9-11. Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but the current energy crisis is little more than a fabrication by Liberal forces to cram the green a

State Attorney General Jerry Brown on Tuesday warned Siskiyou County officials that he would sue if global warming isn’t addressed in plans to build a bottling plant in McCloud.

State Attorney General Jerry Brown today warned Siskiyou County officials that they’ll face legal challenges if Nestle doesn’t address global warming in its plans to build a bottling plant in McCloud.

Ya gotta love Al Gore. No, I mean it. Ya gotta love him to not want to kick the living crap out of him. Case in point. Al shows up at his latest speech on “global warming” and ways to stop it, not in an electric car, bicycle or horse drawn cart, but in a parade of gas swilling luxury vehicles. In two Li

Why does a power company want to build a network of windmills up on Hatchet Mountain? To create a clean source of power demanded by the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and try to slow global warming.

Doug Craig has long talked the talk on the global warming threat -- organizing lectures, teaching courses, writing letters to the editor, lobbying the City Council.

Why does a power company want to build those windmills up on Hatchet Ridge? To create a clean source of power demanded by the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and try to slow global warming. So what does the...

James Hansen, the NASA scientist who's the Paul Revere (or is that the Cassandra?) of global warming, tells audiences in Washington that worrying about gas mileage is overrated -- since there's really no way we'll stop the carbon from petroleum...

My esteemed colleague Bruce Ross quotes a New Scientist article that basically parrots the typical climate-change hysteria. TODAY much of the north-western US wilderness is already a tinderbox, but thanks to global warming, wildfires will be scorching even more land...

That's psychologist Doug Craig, who's worried about global warming and owns a three-wheeled Xebra sedan. The thing lists for $11,700 and is available online here. Made by Santa Rose-based ZAP, it has a top speed of 40 mph and a...

I'm not a global warming believer. I'm not a global warming denier. I'm a global warming agnostic who believes instinctively that it can't be very good to pump lots of CO2 into the atmosphere, but is equally convinced that those who presume to know exactly where that leads are talking through their hats.

From NewsMax: An incredible 31,072 Americans with university degrees in science, including 9,021 Ph.D.s, have signed a petition that flatly denies Al Gore's claims that human-caused global warming is a settled scientific fact. Gore calls scientists and others who question...

With the constant bombardment of climate-change education (or propoganda, depending on your point of view) that we've all been subjected to, wouldn't you think the acceptance of man-made global warming by now would be pretty darn near unanimous? Far from...

Wired's Brandon Keim is stumped: Why are less-educated Republicans more likely to agree with the global scientific community than their more-educated political counterparts, and vice versa among Democrats? Oddly enough, the majority of Republicans might not believe in global warming,...

It's a gorgeous, warm, sunny day outside.I sit inside, at my computer, eating a bowl of cereal at 3:55 p.m.Why? It appears I have come down with another bug. Remember the bronchial bug from several weeks ago? Well, it seems he must have passed on the news of a good huntin' grounds to his cousin.

The latest political crusade is to replace ordinary light bulbs with the new compact fluorescent bulbs that are supposed to save electricity, reducing the need for fossil fuels and helping the fight against global warming.

A pair of recently released reports -- one by a timber giant and the other by timber critics -- are at odds about the effect logging has on climate change. Anderson-based Sierra Pacific Industries released a report at the beginning of the month saying that intensive management, logging of about 12 percent of it

I received a personal note from Congresswoman Jackie Speier yesterday via mass email. Jackie flew to Washington D.C. yesterday with her family, and was sworn in. Can you imagine what it must be like to win an

I don't normally read Mark Morford in the SF Chronicle. He's too cynical even for me, which is saying something, and his attacks on Christianity, many of which are not undeserved, are tedious. He's rewitten the anti-Christian column about 4,723 times now. Yeah, I get it: there are a lot of nutjobs out there pushing t

Hmm ... the rice growers' association is honoring Environmental Defense for its work in developing ways rice farms can "find and contribute to solutions to global warming." Does Doug LaMalfa know about this?...

O.k., you're probably wondering if I've completely lost my mind by now. However, this is a title from a Simpson's episode called "

I've been wondering. Even if the state or the feds declared the pika endangered because of global warming stealing its habitat (as DFG recently declined to do), then what? If the climate is changing, if habitats are shifting, if critters...

Well, now I am pissed off. Like many other Fredheads, who are still trying to stop the hemorrhaging from Fred’s withdrawal as a candidate, I am being confronted by requests for a second choice by well wishing and comforting friends. Of course the possibility of a “write-in” candidacy is not out of the realm of possi

A correspondent sends along this story about a tropical-disease outbreak in a town on the Italian coast as a warning, apparently, of things to come with global warming. Panic was spreading this August through this tidy village of 2,000 as...
