The American Spectator : Christie's Blind Spot
During his gubernatorial campaign he spoke favorably about renewable energy subsidies, and even committed to principles of "global warming justice" and "say[ing] no to coal."
Airlines and EU emission trading scheme: "a $1.5 billion cash grab that would do nothing to reduce emissions".
The EU Climate Commissioner, former Danish journalist Connie Hedegaard still keeps on defending the EU plan, calling it a “practical example” of steps that need to be made to prevent global warming. However, the Chinese and the Americans are not going to accept this EU climate madness, which means that only European airlines will be affected. This will be another self-inflicted wound in the already bleading body of the European economy. It is time for people to stand up and say no to this totally useless EU climate alarmism!
Shape-shifting islands defy sea-level rise - Banaban Voice
AGAINST all the odds, a number of shape-shifting islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean are standing up to the effects of climate change.

For years, people have warned that the smallest nations on the planet - island states that barely rise out of the ocean - face being wiped off the map by rising sea levels. Now the first analysis of the data broadly suggests the opposite: most have remained stable over the last 60 years, while some have even grown.
1995 And All That
In its selective coverage of climate change science BBC News has become not a reporter of climate change, but a supporter of it. It has, as this regrettable article shows, veered into advocacy. Science and Environmental journalists are often enthusiasts for the subject but as reporters they must not become cheerleaders and uncritically use shoddy science in a one-sided attempt to trounce those whom, as is obvious from this piece, the reporter thinks are wrong.
