I have absolutely no idea why, but an annual luncheon scheduled for next week in Houston that celebrates the safety record of offshore oil drilling has been postponed. At last year’s luncheon, BP, the operator of the deep-water oil rig that exploded and sank in the gulf last week, causing one of the largest oil […]

Bill McKibben, who wrote the first book on global warming aimed at a general audience in 1989, notes that at the time even the Wall Street Journal and then president Bush (Senior) both generally agreed that there was a problem. Way back then, there were only a few dozen scientific studies that supported man-made global […]

PolluterHarmony.com is a satiric “dating” site that plays matchmaker between big polluters, lobbyists, and the politicians who love them too much. They’ve produced some hilarious fake ads, like this one about how they found sweet romance for Senator Lisa Murkowski: Polluter Harmony is a project of Polluter Watch. From their site: When we launched Polluterharmony, […]

I love political comics that are subtle enough that you might not be able to figure out which side of an issue they are on. In fact, without the very last line (“Next Week”) I’m not sure if I could have figured this one out. It is getting to the point where reality is so […]

I think this speaks for itself (note that the numbers add up to 120%): So the real question is: Did Fox News falsify research to support their own theories on Global Warming? I think it is pretty obvious they did. Fox News, the news for people who are too stupid to add. UPDATE: Jon Stewart […]

© Tom Toles I’m posting this cartoon in honor of Apple quitting the US Chamber of Commerce because of the Chamber’s opposition to federal attempts to curb global warming. Apple is the largest company to quit the Chamber of Commerce on this issue, as well as the first technology company.

From Discover Magazine, of all places, here is Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen (R) packing a multiple wallop of irony into just a few seconds: Yes, she really did state (twice) that the earth is 6000 years old, and not as a claim but as a simple fact that she is using to justify mining […]

After all the recent bad news, the Republicans must be feeling a bit defensive and embattled. Because they are trying really hard to create a scandal for Obama, which they are even helpfully calling “Carbongate“. The story started with a report authored by EPA analyst Alan Carlin that questioned the impact of carbon dioxide on […]
© Tom Toles More information about the climate bill working its way through Congress. Only a single Republican voted to move the bill out of committee. The rest seem to think that “America cannot afford to do anything about climate change and shouldn’t bother trying”.
