This article is so good, I’m gonna plagiarize the entire article. This article by Jack Spencer needs to be read word for word:
What if the government allowed you to burn only 25 percent of every tank of gas? Or if Washington made you pour half of every gallon of milk down the drain?
What if lawmakers [...]

Around September or so, I did what every environmentally concerned citizen is supposed to do. I went and replaced about every light bulb in the house with those new green bulbs that last for six years so that me paying ten times the price of the old bulbs would feel better. And, since they burn [...]

Major auto makers are telling Congress that due to the improved fleet standards, muscle cars such as the Corvette may be a thing of the past. Since they want to keep their over-sized gas guzzling trucks, the muscle cars would be sacrificed for more fuel efficient cars.
Now, I got a problem with their argument. Namely, [...]

Arthur C. Clarke made a birthday wish list for his 90th. the list includes:
for the world to embrace cleaner energy resources,
for a lasting peace in his adopted home, Sri Lanka,
evidence of extraterrestrial beings.
You’d think by wishing for the second wish he’d have to be a little hesitant about wishing for the third wish. Man has [...]

This is the time for the Geminid meteor show. It was cloudy and overcast here, so I didn’t go out of my way. However, about 11:30pm Eastern time, I stepped outside to try to reign in Moonlet after a night of regaling with his friend. He was wound up, so I was letting him run [...]

First, read this:

His Excellency Ban Ki-Moon
Secretary-General, United Nations
New York, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Secretary-General,
Re: UN climate conference taking the World in entirely the wrong direction
It is not possible to stop climate change, a natural phenomenon that has affected humanity through the ages. Geological, archaeological, oral and written histories all attest to the dramatic challenges [...]

A LOT has been made of Greenland’s ice melting. I mean, a LOT. National Geographic ran an in-depth article about just how bad man has destroyed Greenland just about a year ago. Some snippets to give you an idea just how bad it is. The headline itself starts you off:
Global Warming: Greenland: When It’s Hot
And [...]

I’m still scratching my head over this one:
The Pope condemns the climate change prophets of doom
Pope Benedict XVI has launched a surprise attack on climate change prophets of doom, warning them that any solutions to global warming must be based on firm evidence and not on dubious ideology.
The leader of more than a billion [...]

Dogs have been man’s best friend for about 10,000 years or so. People claim it’s because they’re more intelligent than most animals. I mean, they sit, fetch, roll over, play dead, and other incredibly intelligent things. But, is that special to our domesticated pets? Last week I featured a video of a dancing cockatoo. This [...]

Here’s the headline:
New Dinosaur Discovered in Antarctica
Sounds exciting huh? I mean, visions of Jurassic Park started racing through my mind. Business ideas started popping up. Who wouldn’t want to see a dinosaur? This could be HUGE!
Alas, it’s just sloppy writing. The dinosaur isn’t all that new, it died about 190 million years ago. It wasn’t [...]
