SPECIES SAFE EVEN IF WORLD WARMS, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY
Biologists are again predicting massive species losses as the world warms. But where are the corpses? There have been few findings of extinctions among continental bird and mammal species over the past 500 years. The species extinctions have been virtually all on islands, as humans have brought such alien predators as rats, cats, and Canadian thistles to places where they had no natural enemies.

GREEN JOBS OR SHALE GAS? THE NUMBERS TALK, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY
The shale gas industry’s boom is creating 100,000 jobs in Pennsylvania during 2010, according to Penn State University. Only a few of these new jobs are on drill rigs; many of those jobs go to highly-skilled oil patch veterans from out of state. But the gas industry’s expansion has created jobs by the tens of thousands in steel production, construction, and services. Continue reading

NO-TILL FARMING: LANDSLIDE PROTECTION?, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY
Vegetable growers in the Philippines are finding that no-till farming not only saves their topsoil but may even lessen the danger of landslides!
Four years of experiments in the Cordillera—the “salad bowl” of the Philippine highlands—show a 50–70 percent reduction in soil erosion because the farmers neither plow nor hand-weed. The region specializes in vegetables because its 6,000-foot elevation keeps the soil cooler and less humid than at sea level hear Manila. However, the steep slopes also mean high risks for both soil erosion and landslides.

ENERGY SECRETARY ADMITS WE DON’T UNERSTAND CLIMATE CHANGE, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY
Energy Secretary Stephen Chu recently spoke on global warming to the scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory—and told them we don’t understand it. “We don’t understand the downward trend that occurred in 1900 or in 1940. We don’t fully understand the plateau that’s happened in the last decade,†he concluded. Continue reading

LOSING JOBS WITH GREEN TECHNOLOGY, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY
President Obama has allocated $4 billion in “stimulus funds†to help advance the “smart grid,†which is intended to seamlessly integrate all our new solar and wind power into the national supply of electricity. Much of the $4 billion will be spent to install 20 million new digital “smart meters.†These meters will instantly tell the power company how to deploy its varied generating sources most effectively. Continue reading

ANOTHER FAILING BIOFUEL “MIRACLEâ€, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY
CHURCHVILLE, VA—My wife is complaining about our increased costs at the supermarket. I remind her that every pound of meat, milk, and butter we buy requires several pounds of corn to produce—and biofuel mandates have shoved the corn price up … Continue reading
INDIA SETS UP INDEPENDENT GLOBAL WARMING PANEL, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY
CHURCHVILLE, VA—India is setting up its own climate research unit because it no longer trusts the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. I’ve been predicting such a move for years—partly due to the IPCC’s biased science, but more because India … Continue reading

WHY NOT THE SUN?, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY
CHURCHVILLE, VA—Why do global warming researchers ignore the sun, the ultimate source of earth’s heat? Especially as we know virtually all of our warming occurred before 1940 while 85 percent of the human-emitted CO2 came after 1940? Dennis Bray of … Continue reading

GREENS AGAIN BAIT AND SWITCH ON ENERGY, BY: DENNIS T. AVERY
CHURCHVILLE, VA—Back during the bad old Bush presidency, the eco-movement loudly endorsed ethanol, particularly cellulosic ethanol, as a good eco-substitute for gasoline. Now they’ve changed their minds. They’re finally admitting that you can’t grow ethanol and food on the same … Continue reading
