The big media have spoken on the question of global warming, and the debate is officially over. "Be afraid, be very afraid", warns Time magazine. But have Al Gore and his environmentalist allies really proven their case? Not even close, says Christopher C. Horner.

In 1980, the iconoclastic economist Julian Simon challenged celebrity biologist Paul Ehrlich to a bet.

Mals, Italy, has long been known as the breadbasket of the Tyrol. But recently the tiny town became known for something else entirely. A Precautionary Tale tells us why, introducing readers to an unlikely group of activists and a forward-thinking mayor who came together to ban pesticides in Mals by a referendum vote, making it the first place on Earth to accomplish such a feat, and a model for other towns and regions to follow. For hundreds of years, the people of Mals had cherished their traditional foodways and kept their local agriculture organic. Their town had become a mecca for tourists drawn by the alpine landscape, the rural and historic character of the villages, and the fine breads, wines, cheeses, herbs, vegetables, and the other traditional foods they produced.

Wir leben bereits mitten in der Klima-Katastrophe.

In Indien ist die Kuh heilig. Das Abschlachten von Kühen würde viele Inder empören, so kommt Rindfleisch nun als "Büffelfleisch" auf den Tisch. Statt mit dem traditionsreichen Senföl wird mit dem angeblich gesünderen Sojaöl gekocht, die Getreidevielfalt weicht Standardweizen und Standardreis. Hinter diesem Wandel der indischen Ernährungsgewohnheiten stecken die Interessen der globalen Agrarindustrie.
