“As an environmental reporter, I have come to dread the Earth Day avalanche of deals and promotions that arrive via e-mail or (worse, environmentally speaking) in my office or home mailbox. Like Valentine’s Day, Earth Day has become a colossal marketing opportunity – a paradoxical way to promote consumption, sell stuff.” Continue reading

Climatists must be pushed off the Earth Day stage
“Climatism, the misguided belief that man-made carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions are destroying Earth’s climate, has overwhelmed the environmental movement,” said Steve Goreham, Executive Director of the Chicago-based Climate Science Coalition of America (CSCA) and author of Climatism! Science, Common Sense and the 21st century’s Hottest Topic. “If activists want to be taken seriously on Earth Day, then they must divorce themselves from this extreme form of environmentalism and focus only on problems we know to be real.” Continue reading

Maurizio Morabito: Earth Day! Our Day! A day to celebrate
This Sunday marks the 42nd anniversary of Earth Day. Once again, we can expect an all-out assault covering all communication channels, a barrage of all the most stale ideas concocted by the most backward-looking eco-obsession. Continue reading

Patrick Michaels: Celebrating Earth Day: Is Another Half-Acid Apocalypse On the Way?
What with it being Earth Day and all, it’s a good time to reflect on the sorry track record of environmental apocalypse prognostication and make a little forecast of our own, namely that something called “ocean acidification” is going to be the latest, greatest threat to our survival. “This time we mean it”, my greener friends are saying. Continue reading
Earth Day’s ups and downs reflect changing environmental movement
The 42nd Earth Day, held April 22, may not be a round milestone anniversary for those celebrating the annual event devoted to raising awareness about environmental issues, but it will come closer than any in recent memory to the spirit of the first Earth Day held across the U.S. in 1970. Continue reading
Is Earth Day still relevant?
Was it ever? You can vote in their poll – when I saw it more than half of voters either didn’t equate it with environmentalism or had no interest in the day or the movement Continue reading

Earth Day no deterrent to Canada’s drive for more dirty fossil fuels
And we’d hope it never came under consideration at all – this is the real world we are talking about, where people need reliable, affordable energy and have to pay mortgages, etc, so need real, productive, paying jobs Continue reading

Does giving antibiotics to animals hurt humans?
This is a very strange time for Green/Left-leaning AP to be pushing the anti agricultural use of antibiotics as growth enhancers line. The use of ABs in this way has reduced the feed required to produce the required/desired amount of meat and saved enormous areas of wildlands from the plow. They also can be used to reduce the proportion of anaerobic methane-producing bacteria in animals’ guts and hence the dreaded “global warming” methane emissions. Antibiotic use in agriculture has done more to preserve wildlife habitats than all the dearth day crap has or ever will. Continue reading
Robert Bradley Jr: “Happy Earth Day” by Julian Simon
April 22 [1995] marks the 25th anniversary of Earth Day. Now as then its message is spiritually uplifting. But all reasonable persons who look at the statistical evidence now available must agree that Earth Day’s scientific premises are entirely wrong. Continue reading

“We toss out 7 pounds of trash a day each, spending billions to manage it” So burn it through waste-to-energy plants and turn the residue into building aggregate. Sheesh what a fuss over complete garbage Continue reading
