As Sandy approached the Eastern coast, I posted a Tweet asking how long it would be before disciples of Al Gore emerged to chat up manmade global warming.

Before the storm wreaked havoc in the Northeast, Meghan McCain hit the GOP, Tweeting, “So are we still going to go with climate change not being real fellow republicans [sic]?”

Illegal aliens, U.S. citizens and forest practices fodder for debate on wildfires

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducts prescribed burns in hopes of reducing potential damage to property when a wildfire occurs. (Photo: Branch of Fire Management/USFWS)When there’s a wildfire in a large forested area, it’s inevitable that the global warming alarmist bloc will jump to conclusions that carbon emissions are the indirect cause.

What media doesn’t present a full picture on is the impact of illegal aliens, U.S. citizens and federal forestry practices on wildfires. We could call it the human non-carbon factor.

Will global warming bubble tank the future middle class?

Progressive presidents favor bubbles when it comes to the economy. President Bill Clinton did that with dot coms, and he turned affordable housing into one of the most powerful political weapons a president could wield.
