MUST SEE YOUTUBE: ManBearPig, Climategate and Watermelons: A conversation with author James Delingpole | Climate Realists

James Delingpole is a bestselling British author and blogger who helped expose the Climategate scandal back in 2009. Reason.tv caught up with Delingpole in Los Angeles recently to learn more about his entertaining and provocative new book Watermelons: The Green Movement's True Colors. At its very roots, argues Delingpole, climate change is an ideological battle, not a scientific one. In other words, it's green on the outside and red on the inside. At the end of the day, according to Delingpole, the "watermelons" of the modern environmental movement do not want to save the world. They want to rule it.

Delaware's Very Own Solyndra - Page 1 - Paul Driessen - Townhall Conservative

Bloom claims its “revolutionary new design” and “breakthroughs in materials science” make its new solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology “clean, reliable and affordable.” Governor Jack Markell, Department of Natural Resources Secretary Colin O’Mara, Department of Economic Development Secretary Alan Levin and assorted legislators insist their plan will create jobs and put Delaware at the forefront of the Green Revolution.

If that’s the case, and if Bloom had a viable business plan, investors would be clamoring to get in on the action. There would be no need to stick Delaware ratepayers with a bloomin’ tariff (“green premium”) that will add at least $600,000,000 to household and business electricity bills over the next 20 years – above what they would pay for electricity generated by combined cycle natural gas plants. There would be no need for the Economic Development Department to contribute another $16,000,000 in startup costs.

Atlasgate Shrugged: Downplaying Greenland's Fictional Ice Melt

is it a fair comparison when melting glaciers are uncovering tree stumps and abandoned Viking settlements on Greenland’s now-frozen tundra? Since satellite data is not available from the 10th century on, is 2007's ice cover really an anomaly?

Greenland's farmers are certainly enjoying their global warming boon. Until recently, the only vegetables they could grow were potatoes, but now locally grown cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and even strawberries are lining the shelves of neighborhood supermarkets. Potato harvests are booming. In areas formerly weather-restricted to sheep and reindeer herds, farmers have established successful cattle and dairy operations. The Wall Street Journal reported one rancher described his experience as a genesis. "We have so many cold places in Greenland, and a lot of it is covered with ice," said Stefan Magnusson. "So we are grateful for those two extra degrees we get."

Melting glaciers mean more grazing land for herds, fatter animals for slaughter, more cultivatable land and longer growing seasons. Greenland's farmland has increased from 620 acres in 1980 to more than 2,500. The country’s fishing industry is booming, too. Magnusson said he planned to harness the melting glacier water pouring into a nearby river for hydroelectricity.
