1-22-15 “The Climate Warming Religion”

Anchorage Daily Planet Editorial. Acolytes of the new climate-warming religion so embraced by President Barack Obama and other believers must be in a tizzy today. A team of prominent scientists gathered at a Texas Public Policy Foundation climate summit in Austin, Texas, pooh-poohed all that as “nonsense,” Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com reports. They say fears of man-made global warming are “irrational” and “based on nonsense”; that the claims have “nothing to do with science.” They warned “we are being led down a false path” by the upcoming UN climate summit in [...]

CBC News. For the past 25 years, oil and gas exploration in the Beaufort Sea has kept Inuvik on an economic roller coaster. In March 2011, the National Energy Board granted final approval for the Mackenzie Valley natural gas pipeline after the federal cabinet signed off on the long-delayed $16.2-billion project. Low natural gas prices have kept the project on the drawing board since then, although in August, Imperial Oil asked the National Energy Board to extend the sunset clause on regulatory approval through 2022 in the hopes that gas [...]

"Hmmm. Who to thank at Thanksgiving?" Commentary Alaskans who don't want to learn the hard way better stop being so proud of their God given natural resources. Talk of oil tax increases at a time of low oil prices is not a good Thanksgiving message to send investors, still contemplating an LNG export project and a few exploration/development projects. Instead, Alaska might try maximizing its natural resource potential by treating investors who have cash to develop the State's resources, with courtesy and encouragement. An attitude check on the part of citizens who [...]
