Global Warming Test
Test your knowledge and common sense in this simple 10-question test.

29aug10	Progressives Against Progress Fred Siegel If one were to pick a point at which liberalism’s extraordinary reversal began, it might be the celebration of the first Earth Day, in April 1970... The event brought together disparate conservationist, anti-nuclear, and back-to-the-land groups into what became the church of environmentalism, complete with warnings of hellfire and damnation.
25jul10	A Necessary Apocalypse J.R. Dunn The apocalyptic vision of global warming serves a deep need of the environmentalist credo, the dominant pseudo-religious tendency of our age in the prosperous West.
14jun10	Renewable Energy: There Ain’t No Free Lunch Prof. Chris Kobus, Ph.D. When confronted with the revelation that systems need to be built to harness “free” energy, many people are perplexed as it is not something they have thought about. The reason, I suspect, is that the liberal media has dumbed down the science and inserted environmental propaganda in its place.
2jun10	NASA Gagging Policy: Scientist Quits over Controversy Top Physicist: Greenhouse Gas Theory ‘Bogus’ John O'Sullivan Confirmation of the gagging policy comes from ex-NASA high-flier, Dr. Ferenc Miskolczi, who upset his former employers with the 2007 publication of his paper, ‘Greenhouse effect in semi-transparent planetary atmospheres,’ in the Quarterly Journal of the Hungarian Meteorological Service.
6mar10	Smart Grid: The Implementation of Technocracy? Patrick Wood Sustainable consumption? Reconfiguring businesses, infrastructure and institutions? What do these words mean? They do not mean merely reshuffling the existing order, but rather replacing it with a completely new economic system, one that has never before been seen or used in the history of the world.
5mar10	Climategate: The Money Trail Joanne Nova The big-money side of this debate has fostered a myth that skeptics write what they write because they are funded by oil profits. They say, follow the money? So I did and it's chilling. Greens and environmentalists need to be aware each time they smear with an ad hominem attack they are unwittingly helping giant finance houses.
2mar10	All the Details Needed to Sound the Alarm Against Sustainable Development Tom DeWeese Today, those who are taking to the streets in TEA Party protests are focusing on federal issues like taxes and health care. They must learn that they can never restore the Republic if their local community is a little soviet.
1mar10	How They Distort Global Temperatures: The Urban Heat Island Effect Dr. Tim Ball How much do calculations of global temperatures represent the real temperature of the Earth? Every day new stories appear about temperature records with errors or deliberate omissions. An important part of the debate is something called the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE).
26feb10	The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory; How NASA Distorts the Truth About Our Atmosphere Alan Siddons An idea has been drummed into our heads for decades: that roughly 1% of the atmosphere's content is responsible for shifting the earth's surface temperature from inimical to benign. This conjecture has mistakenly focused on specifically light-absorbing gases, however, ignoring heat-absorbing gases altogether.
19feb10	Climategate: The Big Picture Charlie Martin It’s been less than three months since the Climategate files were first revealed to the world, and an amazing lot has happened – so much that I think it’s worth bringing things together in one place.
3jan10	It Didn't Start with Climategate John Hinderaker The Kyoto protocol was based on fictitious science, exaggerated or fabricated outright for political purposes. The same Professor Santer who hijacked the Second Assessment Report figures prominently in Climategate. Fraud: it is the one constant in the history of the global warming hysteria movement.
25dec09	The Climate Change Scam: A Concise Summary In the wake of Climategate, common sense deniers [neo-deniers] like to say that there is lots of other evidence for global warming, in addition to that which has been debunked by the East Anglia whistleblower. Actually, however, the scientific evidence for AGW [man-made global warming] is remarkably weak.
21nov09	Hacked Computer Files of the Climatic Research Unit Reveal Global Warming a Deliberate Fraud Dr. Tim Ball The IPCC Reports and especially the SPM Reports are the basis for Kyoto and the Copenhagen Accord, but now we know they are based on completely falsified and manipulated data and science. It is no longer a suspicion. Surely this is the death knell for the CRU, the IPCC, Kyoto and Copenhagen and the Carbon Credits shell game.
8nov09	Energy ABCs: Playing Americans for Fools Alan Caruba Astonishingly, other oil producing nations whose reserves are ranked behind the U.S. are Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, Iran, and Canada. The only oil "shortage" in the U.S. is one created by Congress and the energy policies of a succession of past presidents. An estimated 87% of our oil reserves remain untouched.
1aug09	Peer Reviewed Study: Virtually all changes in global atmospheric temperatures the result of nature rather than human activity Climate scientist Chris de Freitas described the data as established, reproducible, and “out in the open.” The scientists’ finding flies in the face of the assertion by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, in a series of reports, that “global warming” is occurring, is primarily the result of human activity, and requires urgent action.
3may09	Global Warming Alarmists Out In Cold Andrew Bolt It's snowing in April. Ice is spreading in Antarctica. The Great Barrier Reef is as healthy as ever. Time's up for this absurd scaremongering. The fears are being contradicted by the facts, and more so by the week. Doubt it? Then here's a test.
28mar09	Complete Links to: The second International Conference on Climate Change concluded its 2-1/2 -day run March 10, 2009 in New York City after confronting the theme "Global warming: Was it ever really a crisis?" The answer was a resounding "No."
1mar09	The High Price of Climate Lies Alan Caruba The global warming hoax didn't happen over night. It is generally dated from an appearance before Congress by Dr. James E. Hansen in 1988 predicting a dramatic rise in the Earth's temperature based on the increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.
21mar08	‘Medieval Environmentalists’ attack CO2 in their efforts to Derail Civilization Dr. Tim Ball & Tom Harris Aside from forecasts of still primitive computer models, modern climatological research consistently shows that there is no scientific justification for the CO2/climate hysteria that has so gripped mass media and politicians.
21mar08	Environmental Extremism must be put in its place in the Climate Debate Dr. Tim Ball & Tom Harris Many people are starting to realize that much of what they’ve been told about climate change by governments, the United Nations and crusading celebrities is simply wrong.
2sep07	The Year the Global Warming Hoax Died Alan Caruba There will be dying gasps to this hoax, not the least of which is a planned $100 million media blitz by Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, but the public is already far more concerned about instability in the Middle East, the forthcoming national elections, and shocks to the U.S. economy to accord such an effort much credibility.
26mar06	Ice Cores Show Sun, Not Humans, Controlling Earth’s Climate Dennis T. Avery Man’s climate impacts are puny compared to the million-degree heat of the sun. There’s no evidence that human-emitted CO2 has added much to the current temperatures.
12mar06	Endless Environmental Lies Alan Caruba The lies the environmental movement has put forth over the last few decades can and does fill entire libraries. They have been aided and abetted by the mainstream media that knows that scary news sells newspapers and attracts viewers and listeners.
22may05	Double Standards On Disease Control Paul Dreissen Last year, malaria sent more African children to shallow graves than any other infectious disease – three times as many as HIV/AIDS, according to UNICEF. Year after year, this silent, vicious executioner infects 400 million people in sub-Saharan Africa.
2apr05	The Big Business of Climate Change Research Dr. Roy W. Spencer A new report released today by the Marshall Institute, a Washington-based science policy group, looks at the major donors to environmental groups for climate-related activities. It finds that the vast majority of those donors represent and promote left-leaning causes.
14dec04	There Is NO Man-Made Global Warming Tom DeWeese Americans aren't being told that a 1997 Gallop Poll of prominent North American climatologists showed that 83 percent of them disagreed with the man-made global warming theory.
6aug04	‘Sustainable Development’ is the Evil You Face Tom DeWeese Sustainable Development is the 'ruling principle' for the implementation of what former Vice President Al Gore said we must all suffer through in order to purify our nation from the horrors of the Twentieth Century’s industrial revolution.
31jul04	Sustainable Development 101 American Policy Center Since the concept of 'sustainability' was first defined in the 1987 report by Gro Harlem Brundtland (VP of the World Socialist Party), it has swelled into a tidal wave that is washing across the world and has now crashed onto American shores and will soon inundate every American Community.
30apr04	DDT vs. Death by Malaria Robert J. Cihak, M.D. That DDT prevented 500 million deaths by 1970 and that the banning of its use in poor countries has resulted in millions of unnecessary deaths holds no sway with true believers in this doctrine. Where did this myth originate?
22feb04	The Emperor’s New Climate: Is Global Warming Real? Duncan Maxwell Anderson Scientists have created a global-warming paradigm for themselves that benefits them – as a cause and as a livelihood. They won’t easily be dissuaded from it.
11jan04	The Endangered Species Act Deserves Extinction Alan Caruba Here's something that will surprise you. Originally adopted in 1973, the Endangered Species Act expired October 1, 1992! It continues only because Congress continues to fund it.
21nov03	The Real Poision is Dishonesty Jay Ambrose When South Africa used DDT widely, malaria cases dropped to 6,000. Five years after it switched to other techniques, the number had climbed to 60,000.
12aug03	Summer Heat Kim Weissman Beyond the hyperbole of calling global warming a weapon of mass destruction, let's look a bit closer at ... claims that 'The 1990s were probably the warmest decade in the last 1,000 years…'
10jun03	Revisiting the Global Warming Hoax Alan Caruba Little known to the public is the fact that most of the scientists involved with the UN's' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change do not agree that global warming is occurring.
16may03	The Real Epidemic: West Nile Fever Alan Caruba The EPA has stripped Americans of many of the pesticides that formerly protected them against a vast range of insect pests that spread disease or inflict millions of dollars of property damage.
14may03	Has EPA been promoting one big secondhand smoke screen? Joseph Perkins One study, funded by the National Cancer Institute, found that nonsmokers have no increased risk of lung cancer as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke during childhood, in the workplace or from living with a pack-a-day smoker for as many as 40 years.
14may03	Judge Smokes Out Tobacco Lie "EPA publicly committed to a conclusion before the research had begun; adjusted established procedure and scientific norms to validate its conclusion, and aggressively utilized its authority to disseminate findings to establish a de facto regulatory scheme to influence public opinion." –Judge William Osteen
27apr03	Deploy DDT To Fight Malaria Angela Logomasini "In the 1940s many people were deliberately exposed to high concentrations of DDT through dusting programs or impregnation of clothes, without any apparent ill effect." –A.G. Smith of the scientific journal Lancet
5mar03	Time to Throw Out 'Myth' of Recycling Throw away the green and blue bags and forget those trips to return bottles – recycling household waste is a load of, well, rubbish, say leading environmentalists and waste campaigners.
28dec02	Debunking Modern Climate Myths Is global climate warming? If so, what part of that warming is due to human activities? How good is the evidence? What are the risks? – 14 Fallacies
2oct02	100 Things You Should Know about DDT J. Gordon Edwards and Steven Milloy "To only a few chemicals does man owe as great a debt as to DDT... In little more than two decades, DDT has prevented 500 million human deaths, due to malaria, that otherwise would have been inevitable." – National Academy of Sciences, 1970
28sep02	Healthy Forests and Wise Management Senator Jon Kyl If we are really concerned about greenhouse gases, just stop and think, all of the emissions from all of the cars in the United States did not equal 1 day's worth of emissions from this one [Rodeo] fire.
1sep02	Science for Sale: The Global Warming Scam Accuracy in Media The dirty secret is that global warming is driven more by the search for funding than the search for scientific truth. "Big science" was adrift in the early 1990s, like many other beneficiaries of the Cold War, and was desperate to sustain its federal funding. Global warming had all the key attributes of the next big cause.
30aug02	The Conservative Crisis Tom DeWeese Conservatives would never concede their liberty to Swastikas or Hammer and Sickles, but tuck it in a Green blanket called "environmental protection" and they will toss those liberties on the fire like an old-fashioned book burning.
8aug02	Environmentalism Kills: West Nile Fever Spreads Alan Caruba ...behind closed doors, the American Mosquito Control Association fears this nation will lose virtually all of the insecticides still available to defend people against the new plague of West Nile Fever and the return of Malaria to the US.
26jul02	The Green Plan for Global Domination Alan Caruba Up to now no Green has so boldly stated the true intention of the movement. However, the presentation of 'Restructuring the Global Economy' was a rare occasion when deliberate deception was not used to mask the Green's true intentions.
10jun02	Climate Action Report Kim Weissman Dr. Sallie Baliunas, (Astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics; Deputy Director, Mount Wilson Observatory) points out that between President Bush's proper rejection of the Kyoto Protocol a year ago and the EPA's new climate report, "in the interim there has been no new science to cause the shift in viewpoint".
6jun02	The Kyoto Protocol and Global Warming: What Does Science Say? Sallie Baliunas – astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and deputy directory of Mount Wilson Observatory Whereas the economic catastrophe that would occur as a result of implementing the Kyoto Protocol is a certainty, the likelihood of an environmental catastrophe resulting from a failure to implement Kyoto is extremely speculative.
1apr02	Energy Footprints Kim Weissman While the denizens of Washington and New York bask in their alternate energy, it won't be their countryside that is dominated by mile after mile of solar stations and wind farms; and it won't be large swaths of their fertile farmland that is seized by eminent domain to plant thousands of transmission towers and tens of thousands of miles of power lines.
24mar02	The "Complete" Green Matrix Diane Alden The citizens of the United States need to decide whether to take the red pill or the blue pill, because the "green cure" may not be to their liking.
4mar02	The Terrorists You Don't Hear About Tom DeWeese This group was responsible for an attack that resulted in a $5.3 million loss in 2001... the third most destructive only to the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks and only one of 137 acts for which it claimed credit.
4mar02	Are Humans Using Up Too Much Sun? Alan Caruba Follow me closely now because you will learn why virtually everything any environmentalist or ecologist tells you is the biggest pack of lies you have heard since your husband told you you're not getting fat or your wife told you she doesn't care you're going bald.
7feb02	The Cruelty In Klamath Tom DeWeese The cruelty perpetrated against some 1400 farm families in the Klamath Basin of Oregon was not simply a piece of bureaucratic bungling of the Bureau of Land Management. Hidden from public view was the dark hand of the United Nations' Environmental Program.
23jan02	Anti-Christ Of The Green Religion David Thomas A former member of Greenpeace, has been branded a traitor by the international environmental movement. His crime? He debunked almost all of its claims about the earth's perilous state. Now he is a marked man.
9jan02	Environmental Corruption: A Cascade of Lies Alan Caruba The cascade of lies about everything environmental should, by now, have convinced the public that US government officials responsible for setting national policies and environmental groups seeking to determine what those policies should be cannot be trusted.
4jan02	Just How Crazy Are They? Alan Caruba In addition to the Islamic militants among us, we have a cadre of terrorists who need to be hunted and jailed before they become further emboldened to harm our lives and our nation.
1jan02	Desperately Trying to Scare You in 2002 Alan Caruba The Earth is about 5.4 billion years old. It is, for all intents and purposes, an extraordinary self-regulating mechanism.
22oct01	The EcoTerrorist Anthrax Connection Tom DeWeese Most ecoterrorist activity seems to revolve around one group, Earth First! It was founded in 1979 by Dave Foreman who now serves on the Board of Directors of the Sierra Club.
8oct01	Toad-Throwing and Klamath Valley Vin Suprynowicz Congress was duped in 1973 into passing the Endangered Species Act by assurances it would be used primarily to make sure the continent's last grizzly bear, last bison, or last bald eagle wasn't shot as a pest and sold for dog food.
7oct01	America's Fifth Column in the New Century Alan Caruba Most Americans are blind to just how deep the anti-American, pro-communist agenda runs throughout the "environmental" movement. The Greens used the 9/11 terror attacks as an opportunity condemn capitalism and the American economic success.
21sep01	The Green Taliban of America Alan Caruba Until Americans understand how Greens really think, they will never understand that they are united against everything that has made America great. They oppose our economic system and they oppose virtually every aspect of the lifestyle it provides.
7sep01	PETA, Sharks, and A Cure for Cancer Tom DeWeese "I keep waiting for some public outrage that will ultimately expose PETA as vicious enemies of the human race, but it never seems to come."
7aug01	When the Eagles Return The fact is that the mighty green machine has been taking no prisoners for nearly two decades. That machine, as I have said countless times before, is composed of the federal government, the environmental movement and the major foundations.
3aug01	Big Oil, Caribou, and Greed – The debate over ANWR Sure, it's possible to think this spot is beautiful. But the truth is that the beauty of the coastal plain isn't really in the eye of the beholder, it's in the imagination of the angst-ridden liberals who have never beheld the thing and never will.
1aug01	Kyoto: a global tax on American prosperity From the beginning it has been clear that the particular mechanisms of the Kyoto Treaty were not designed to alter the global climate in any meaningful way (even if that were possible), but was rather a manifestation of the hatred of economic progress in general, and American prosperity in particular.
23jul01	"Mommy says I can't eat, but fish can." "…the hopeful alternative to the extinction of millions, possibly billions, of species of plants and animals is the voluntary extinction of one species: Homo sapiens... us." — VHEMT
13jul01	Shark vs. Boy It is time, however, to get to the heart of the matter between the Greens and the rest of us: They do not much like human beings, and they care little about how much pain their policies bring to them.
13jun01	Kyoto Nonsense Neal Boortz Remember – it's not so much what the media tells you. It's also about what the media doesn't tell you. The environmental movement has become home to the old communist and socialist movements once left homeless by the collapse of the Soviet Union.
28may01	The Myth of Alternative Energy William Tucker As environmentalists roam up and down the country opposing every power plant in sight and insisting we can live in a world run on "renewable resources," they are almost invariably quoting Amory Lovins, an obscure genius who is also a bit of a crackpot.
26may01	A New Terrorism Comes Of Age Alan Caruba Eco-terrorists and animal rights terrorists are no longer just a small bunch of "loonies", but rather an increasingly well organized and funded group of organizations.
19may01	Court Ties Economic Impact to Endangered Species Areas A U.S. appellate court has determined that when the Fish and Wildlife Service designates critical habitat for an endangered species, it must analyze and consider the full economic impact on the area in which the habitat is located.
9may01	For The Record ANWAR — a little perspective from an Alaskan citizen
6may01	Above The Law Kim Weissman unearths the tangled trail of the arsenic in the water "crisis" and reveals the contempt shown for the law by the EPA, Clinton, and Carol Browner and the efforts by the Landmark Legal Foundation to find the truth.
26apr01	Poisoned Water Kim Weissman The environmental movement has crossed the line from intelligent and reasoned conservation and pollution control, into outright fanaticism with an utter disregard for the human losses or financial costs that their agenda imposes.
19apr01	Who Needs Earth Day? Henry Lamb Those who need this kind of celebration actually need to be re-tested, or to get therapy, or both. Neither their words delivered from a podium, nor their antics delivered to the media, can help or hinder the planet.
8apr01	Vehement Environmentalism Kim Weissman All the elderly investors who just saw a significant portion of their retirement nest egg go up in environmentalist smoke can go whine to the local democrat congressman they helped put in office.
4apr01	Arsenic and Old Logic Mona Charen According to the EPA, reducing arsenic levels to 10 parts per billion will save 28 statistical lives per year. We should measure these things rationally and not lose our heads over every toxin that lurks in the muck.
3apr01	The Truth about Kyoto: Do the Math Patrick J. Michaels "Do the math. Kyoto was a bad deal, whether or not you care about global warming. And it's a good deal that finally there is a world leader with the courage to tell the truth."
25mar01	What Energy Crisis? Kim Weissman You want to see some of the dirtiest, most contaminated places on earth? Visit the former Soviet Union or communist China, where environmental destruction is the legacy of socialist central planning.
10mar01	We Thought The Eco-Nuts Lost! The whole notion of a scientific consensus [on global warming] has been contrived to disguise the genuine disagreement among scientists on a number of different issues. ..To think that hundreds of scientists could be in full agreement in dozens of separate disciplines is ridiculous.
28jan01	Driving Them Off the Land – Eviction of Western Ranchers 'Amounts to a War of Religions' Did the Founding Fathers really intend for the federal government to permanently own 87% of Nevada ... 68% of Utah ... 50% of the land mass of California ... for as long as the sun shall shine?
28jan01	The Biggest Liars On Earth: The UN's Global Warming Panel Let's understand something. The members of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are not scientists ... they are bureaucrats.
14jan01	The State-Established Religion of Environmentalism Nevada's Department of Wildlife is purposefully excluding scientific reports that counter their "muddle-headed" plans to protect predators such as coyote and raven.
1jan01	Paying The Piper – The Hidden Costs Of Environmentalism It seems like a cold hard bite of reality is leaving a bitter taste in many global conservationists' mouths.
23dec00	Did a Global Cooling Usher in the Dark Ages? S. Fred Singer As much of the nation shivers under an early and harsh winter, history's lesson is plain to see: We should be fearing a colder climate not a warmer one.
19aug00	Destroyer of Worlds No matter what term is in vogue at the time, it is still a pagan utopian dream rooted in the worship of nature, its roots planted deep in early human history.
12aug00	Banning DDT is Eco-Colonialism As the United Nations pushes a global ban on DDT, developing countries resist the loss of this most effective weapon against malaria.
16jul00	Federal Suit is Act 1 in Theater of the Absurd "United States of America, Plaintiff, vs. One Ford Tractor, et al, Defendant(s)" marks one of the most bizarre episodes in modern environmentalism.
16jun00	EPA's Way of Pulling the Pesticide Plug The EPA's action against Dursban is primarily an exercise in convenient ethics coupled with the arbitrariness of safety factors to fulfill the intellectually and morally bankrupt anti-pesticide agenda.
19may00	Extremists Want Millions More Acres Fenced Off Radical environmentalists want to redefine the meaning of "wilderness" while they still control the Clinton/Gore administration
19apr00	Book has the Audacity to Question the Premise Upon Which the Federal EPA has Built its Ever-Growing Power By unearthing fascinating records from the first 70 years of this century, author shows convincingly that America was cleaning up its environment just as fast before EPA came along as afterwards
5mar00	It Must Be Our Fault While domestic oil reserves sit idle within the United States, we import massive amounts of the oil we use from overseas.
