POPSSustainable houses for the Solar Decathlon Europe 2010 "The core element here is sustainability. The house can expand with its lightweight ribs that are dried together. The basic unit is composed totally of prefabricated materials and is dry assembled. All the systems meant for energy capture, transformation and renewable energy accumulation have been chosen to provide a realistic and organized product. The courtyard of the house also works as a cooling unit by using cross ventilation with the purpose of creating a “microclimate.” The house is meant to be energetically self-sufficient."

POPSSEC Petitioned to Warn Companies Against Making False and Misleading Claims on Global Warming
We believe the Commission should take action immediately to protect investors. I. Examples of potentially false and misleading statements made by registrants. Below are but a few examples of the sort of potentially false and misleading statements being made by registrants.

(I write now as a cultural historian, and the grandson of a union coal miner who barely survived a cave-in, and suffered from black lung disease; and, as someone who has not only chronicled the two centuries of economic despair and displacement in the coalfields, but witnessed the destruction of his family's nearly 200-year-old historic homestead and waterways on the edge of a federally recognized Wilderness Area from stripmining in Illinois.)

POPS Chacaltaya glacier: retreat demonstrably not due to increasing temperatures "The observed evidence from Chacaltaya is thus inconsistent with the Anthropogenic Greenhouse Warming (AGW) theory, or, at least, if there is an AGW signal, it is completely drowned by other climatic changes unrelated to AGW. "It is ironic that the melting Chacaltaya glacier has become such an important symbol of the AGW theory, when in fact the evidence from Chacaltaya seems to refute this theory. (In contrast, the evidence from Chacaltaya is fully consistent with Svensmark’s cosmic ray theory (5), but that is another story)."
