The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), already under severe criticism for violating the requirements of academic peer review and relying on secondary sources, comes under attack again in a new book co-produced by three nonprofit research organizations. According to Climate Change Reconsidered: 2011 Interim Report, natural causes are very likely to be [the] dominant cause of climate change that took place in the twentieth and at the start of the twenty-first centuries. We are not saying anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) cannot produce some warming or have not in the past. Our conclusion is that the evidence shows they are not playing a substantial role. The authors of the new report Craig D. Idso, Robert M. Carter, and S. Fred Singer go on to say the net effect of continued warming and rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere is most likely to be beneficial to humans, plants, and wildlife.

The goal for this book is to give you an easy-to-read, condensed, yet comprehensive case for the freedom to use drugs that are only part way through the long FDA approval process. After reading this book, you will have a working knowledge of the FDA drug approval process, a clear understanding of the enormous benefits a Free To Choose Medicine Act would bring, and the ability to see through the false arguments of those who want ever-more-stringent FDA testing that, in reality, amounts to deadly overcaution. My hope is that you will then become an enthusiastic supporter of a reform movement to enact legislation that enables patients, advised by their doctors, to make informed decisions about the use of not-yet-FDA-approved therapeutic drugs. | Singer and Avery present—in popular language supported by in-depth scientific evidence—the compelling concept that global temperatures have been rising mostly or entirely because of a natural cycle.

Singer and Avery present—in popular language supported by in-depth scientific evidence—the compelling concept that global temperatures have been rising mostly or entirely because of a natural cycle. Using historic data from two millennia of recorded history combined with the natural physical records found in ice cores, seabed sediment, cave stalagmites, and tree rings, Unstoppable Global Warming argues that the 1,500 year solar-driven cycle that has always controlled the earth's climate remains the driving force in the current warming trend. Trillions of dollars spent on reducing fossil fuel use would have no effect on today's rising temperatures. The public policy key, Singer and Avery propose, is adaptation, not fruitless attempts at prevention. Further, they offer convincing evidence that civilization's most successful eras have coincided with the cycle's warmest peaks. With the added benefit of modern technology, humanity can not only survive global climate chan | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ten Principles of State Fiscal Policy (Legislative Principles Series, Number 2) | Ten Principles of Health Care Policy (Legislative Principles Series, Number 3) | Ten Principles of Energy Policy (Legislative Principles Series, Number 4) | | | |  |  |  | | | | Legislative Principles Series, Number 2

We wrote this guide for three reasons: because insurance is an important economic activity; because it is regulated almost entirely at the state level and is thus of particular concern to state legislators; and because we hope a look at the principles behind insurance regulation will encourage state regulators to create freer marketplaces for consumers and insurers. | Privatization means shifting some or all aspects of service delivery
from government to private-sector providers. It is a strategy to
lower the costs of government and achieve higher performance and
better outcomes for tax dollars spent. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ten Principles for Improved Business Climates (Legislative Principles Series, Number 8) | Ten Principles of Federal Tax Policy (Legislative Principles Series, Number 9) | | |  |  | | | The "business climate" of a nation, state, or city refers to the combined effect on businesses of public policies, natural endowments, and other assets that affect business start-ups and profitability.

The "business climate" of a nation, state, or city refers to the combined effect on businesses of public policies, natural endowments, and other assets that affect business start-ups and profitability. A good business climate encourages existing businesses to grow, people to start new businesses, and national and international businesses to invest in an area. A poor business climate does the opposite. | This booklet focuses on the federal income tax, since this tax collects by far the most revenue and affects the most people in the United States.

This booklet focuses on the federal income tax, since this tax collects by far the most revenue and affects the most people in the United States. However, the ten principles presented here apply to any tax system, whether national, state, county, or local. Because income taxes are more likely to violate these ten principles than taxes on other things, elected officials at every rung of the federalism ladder should consider replacing income taxes with other types of taxes. | | | | |
