Blowing Hot Air Up Our Shorts
T. Boone Pickens is being lionized for his efforts to legislate a transformation to “eco-friendly” wind energy. Full Story >>>
Live Earth – Dead Africans
The much-hyped Live Earth concerts ignored a critical fact. If they cause more people to demand that Africa and other poor regions not develop the energy they so desperately need, the false global warming “solutions” could be disastrous for the world’s most impoverished citizens. These people desperately need electricity, lights and refrigeration. But hysteria about manmade climate cataclysms is delaying their access to these vital technologies – and millions are dying every year as a result. Full Story >>>
Malaria Atonement and Forgiveness
For decades, environmental groups and the foundations that bankroll them have waged a lethal campaign against Third World use of insecticides and other technologies. In so doing, they have helped perpetuate poverty and disease – and cause millions of die painful, needless deaths. It is time to demand that these organizations end their callous practices and atone for their sins. Full Story >>>
Climate McCarthyism and eco-Inquisitions
Raising inconvenient questions and truths – through open, robust debate – is the essence of social responsibility, good citizenship and sound science. If we bow to climate McCarthyites, we will undermine our economy and democracy. Full Story >>>
An economic suicide pact for Europe and the US
Slashing emissions by 80% by 2050 would give alarmist politicians, bureaucrats and activists a leading role in every housing, heating, cooling, transportation, manufacturing, agricultural, business and consumer decision. It would amount to economic suicide. Full Story >>>
The real climate change catastrophe
95% of Africans still don’t have electricity – for homes, hospitals, schools, offices, factories and countless basic technologies. Instead of rushing to their aid, activists and government officials are citing fears of global warming to justify telling them they can’t have fossil fuel generators. That’s the real climate change catastrophe: that abject, lethal poverty will be perpetuated in the name of preventing a climate problem that extensive evidence indicates is manageable and primarily natural in origin. Full Story >>>
Delaying technology can be deadly
Vaccines, antibiotics and medical treatments have saved countless people from polio, infections and once-fatal diseases. Today, biotechnology is on the verge of creating new generations of miracle drugs to prevent or cure acute diarrhea, cancer, heart and liver disease and other maladies – if radical groups would end their misguided opposition to them. Full Story >>>
Finally, good news for malaria victims
The World Health Organization, USAID and European Union are finally supporting comprehensive malaria control programs that include DDT and other insecticides. Malaria victims around the world at long last have reason for hope. Full Story >>>
Activist fraud
Activist groups – and those who support them – are entitled to promote their ideological agendas. They’re not entitled to invent “facts” or pursue their narrow interests at the expense of the poor and powerless, especially when their actions prevent energy, mineral and economic development, and progress out of abject poverty. Full Story >>>
Sovereignty under Assault
Does America need the permission of the United Nations before it declares war? Must the citizens of democracies yield to the dictates of unelected transnational bureaucracies for the sake of “the greater good”? What effects have international environmental laws and treaties had on the poor? These and other questions were addressed at a July 20 Heritage Foundation conference in Washington, DC. Paul Driessen discussed the pernicious effects of eco-imperialism. Full Story >>>
The truth about malaria and DDT
Just as the USAID, World Health Organization and African health ministers are emphasizing the vital role of DDT in disease control, African anti-insecticide activists – funded, prodded and misinformed by US and EU environmental groups – are fomenting new unrest and concerns. If they succeed in delaying indoor spraying programs, countless people will die needlessly from this readily preventable disease. Full Story >>>
Immigrants, reconquistas and economic systems
Mexico is not poor because it lacks natural resources or bright, industrious citizens. It is poor because it retains an antiquated legal and economic system – and its populist leaders scapegoat the United States, rather than adopting the practices of successful nations. Full Story >>>
CSR for thee, but not for me?
If Oxfam and other critics cared so much about children’s health, why did they wait until an American company arrived to voice concern? Why didn’t they challenge the Peruvian company that for 20 years did almost nothing about air pollution, blood-lead levels or living conditions in communities that now are the centerpiece of activist fund-raising campaigns? Full Story >>>
