  • Ron Arnold: Obscure White House climate warrior wields vast powers

    Ron Arnold

    Published: Thu, May 16, 2013

    Who is Jon Powers? That's not a spoof on "Atlas Shrugged," which begins with "Who is John Galt?" -- but a serious question about one of the more obscure power brokers in the Executive Office of the President. Powers is a former U.S. Army officer who was appointed last year by President Obama...

  • Ron Arnold: Big Green's anti-fracking operatic chorus hits false notes

    Ron Arnold

    Published: Thu, May 9, 2013

    Lobbying campaigns aren't usually compared to classical music, but Mark Dowie, former editor of the left-wing Mother Jones magazine, once wrote of Big Green's political battle strategy: "For considerable sums of money, public opinion can be molded, constituents mobilized, issues researched,...

  • Ron Arnold: Does Big Green care about people or nature?

    Ron Arnold

    Published: Thu, May 2, 2013

    It's nothing new to see Big Green figures deploring the fact that people exist. Back in 1974, the elite Club of Rome published "Mankind at the Turning Point" with its infamous motto, "The Earth has a cancer and the cancer is man." Today it has become routine for some well-funded Big Green...

  • Ron Arnold: Congress working to strip presidential land grab power

    Ron Arnold

    Published: Thu, Apr 25, 2013

    If you think national monuments are statues of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, welcome to the crazy catalog of federal land grabbing tools. These "monuments" are actually large areas that are supposed to be small, and can be created out of thin air by the president with the stroke of a...

  • Ron Arnold: Don't expect Big Green to save Falmouth

    Ron Arnold

    Published: Thu, Apr 18, 2013

    It slaughters eagles by the dozen, uses tons of fossil fuels every day, emits a greenhouse gas that's like CO2 on steroids, can't do the job it's made for, costs taxpayers exorbitant fees, and makes the federal government look mentally ill for giving it outrageous subsidies. Oh, it also chops...

  • Ron Arnold: Most Americans want Keystone, but does Obama care?

    Ron Arnold

    Published: Thu, Apr 11, 2013

    Pew Research Center's new poll encouraged the gas price-conscious with its headline, "Keystone XL Pipeline Draws Broad Support," and a score box showing 63 percent supporting and only 23 percent opposing the pipeline that would transport oil from Canada's Alberta oil sands through the Plains...

  • Ron Arnold: Green-grabbing for carbon 'offsets' takes toll on Africans

    Ron Arnold

    Published: Thu, Apr 4, 2013

    On Feb. 28, 2010, troops acting on behalf of a British forestry company that fights global warming evicted residents in Uganda's Mubende District. They did so to make way for a tree plantation that would absorb carbon dioxide so carbon credits could be sold to transnational polluters. Longtime...

  • Ron Arnold: Energy gap leaves Britain freezing in the dark

    Ron Arnold

    Published: Thu, Mar 28, 2013

    As freezing temperatures, gales and blizzards of deadly "100-year, record-smashing" spring storms battered Europe this past month, the energy gap I've warned about for years hit the headlines: "It's payback time for our insane energy policy," snarled London's Sunday Telegraph newspaper....

  • Ron Arnold: Climate hustlers destroying our civilization for a lie

    Ron Arnold

    Published: Thu, Mar 21, 2013

    "What if climate change appears to be just mainly a multi-decadal natural fluctuation? They'll kill us probably." This private musing between climate scientist colleagues first surfaced along with a whole raft of embarrassing material in 2011, when the anonymous Climategate leaker "Mr. FOIA"...

  • Ron Arnold: Eco-terror advocate bashes climate 'deniers' on film

    Ron Arnold

    Published: Thu, Mar 14, 2013

    Last month a Pew Research Center/USA Today poll confirmed what poll-watchers knew during last year's campaign season: Climate change was the lowest-ranked priority on President Obama's second-term agenda. Last Friday, Big Green's entertainment division churned out yet another attempt to turn...
