The source of the claim that human emissions of CO2 are
causing catastrophic global warming is the International Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), a body empaneled by the UN. The UN is an organization of
governments favoring an expansion of government power and authority, and
therefore biased in favor of the theory of catastrophic global warming. That is
not because of “science,” but because it is a justification for government
takeover of the energy industry, and massively increased regulation, taxes and
government spending......
The U.S. House
of Representatives and Senate came to an agreement late last night over a $1.1
trillion omnibus spending bill and a separate $622 billion tax bill which
touches on every key area of public policy – and not often in a positive way.
Read the reaction of Heartland’s experts to this Christmas gift to special
interests, including Heartland President Joseph Bast, who called it “a huge
disappointment and missed opportunity.”

Lakely, Somewhat Reasonable
The Heartland
Institute is back from the a successful journey to Paris for COP-21 with many
stories to tell. Watch as Jim Lakely, James Taylor, and Keely Drukala discuss
the various events and adventures that took place in Paris. They talk about how
low the environmental left will go to undercut the messages of sound science.
Also, you don't want to miss Taylor’s stories about asking unwanted questions
at the conference.....
We’ve raised 88
percent of the funds we need to fully finance our successful trip to Paris to
present sound science and economics at the United Nations’ global warming
conference. We’re hoping to raise just a bit more to help make sure the world
knows most scientists do not accept the phony science of the UN and Obama’s
EPA. Can you contribute today?
In this two-part
podcast, Ryan Yonk, Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Economics
and Finance at Utah State University and Executive Director of Strata Policy,
joins Environment & Climate News Managing Editor H. Sterling
Burnett to discuss the environmental impacts, reliability, benefits, and costs
of the various renewable energy sources. LISTEN TO MORE
The U.S. Climate
Action Network is a tax-exempt climate activist coordination center
incorporated in Washington, D.C. The organization's mission is to help design
and develop an effective global strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
ensure its implementation at international, national and local levels. The
group also works to silence and bully anyone who diverges from climate alarmist
dogma. Heartland's Emily Zanotti and Ron Arnold document the organization's
history, funding, and controversies with a new profile posted at
LeftExposed.org......

Approximately
800 million people are currently malnourished. With an estimated population
growth of 2 billion by 2050, this problem will surely increase. Only the
widespread embrace of bioengineered or genetically modified (GM) crops and
animals can solve the persistent problem of hunger and lessen the impact of
pest-borne diseases without doing untold damage to the environment....

Pullmann, School Choice Weekly
In Wake County,
North Carolina – the state’s second-most-populated county, parents are
exploring options other than the traditional public schools. “I have met people
almost on a daily basis who are escaping Common Core Standards via home
education because the traditional system is failing their families,” local
homeschool leader Lynne Taylor told School Reform News.....
Wisconsin
Institute for Law and Liberty, Policy Brief
WILL’s latest
policy brief explores the school choice programs in the Netherlands, Sweden, and
Chile. Our survey shows that free market concepts, such as universal voucher
eligibility regardless of income and equal funding for all schools, do actually
exist in the world. What appears politically impossible in the Badger State has
been longstanding public policy elsewhere.....
