This is a guest article by By Robert Bradley Jr. “There is no doubt that these emails are embarrassing and a public-relations disaster for science.” – Andrew Dessler, “Climate E-Mails Cloud the Debate,” December 10, 2009. It has been 13 years since the intellectual scandal erupted called Climategate. Each anniversary inspires recollections and regurgitation of salient quotations. These quotations speak for themselves; attempts of climate alarmist to parse the words and meaning distracts … [Read more...]

Gates’s How to Avoid a Climate Crisis—Big Project on Shaky Foundation
Review of Bill Gates, How to Avoid a Climate Crisis: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need (New York, Alfred A Knopf, 2021) For everyone convinced that the world is on the verge of a climate disaster Bill Gates has written a sobering, well reasoned account of what it would take to eliminate that threat. Rather than just talk about somehow lowering greenhouse gases by a finite percent such as the goal of the Paris Accord, Gates widens the conversation. Reasoning that … [Read more...]
Climategate: Ten years later
This month marks the tenth anniversary of “Climategate” – the release of thousands of emails to and from climate scientists who had been (and still are) collaborating and colluding to create a manmade climate crisis that exists in their minds and computer models, but not in the real world. The scandal should have ended climate catastrophism. Instead, it was studiously buried by politicians, scientists, activists, and crony capitalists, who will rake in trillions of dollars from the … [Read more...]

Three Great Legacies of Climategate
It’s been five years now since Climategate broke, and three years since Climategate II broke. The disclosures of thousands of emails, computer programs, and other documents from the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia revealed scandalous scientific misconduct of monumental proportions—enough that it has crippled the credibility of an entire field of science (paleoclimatology) and seriously tarnished the reputations of the inner cadre of researchers in it. Climategate I … [Read more...]
In Praise of Scientific Piranhas: the Legacies of Climategate
It's been two months now since Climategate broke. The disclosure of thousands of emails, computer programs, and other documents from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in the UK revealed scandalous scientific misconduct of monumental proportions--enough that it has crippled the credibility of an entire field of science (paleoclimatology) and seriously tarnished the reputations of the inner cadre of researchers in that field. I've read hundreds of articles on Climategate … [Read more...]
‘Consumer Reports’ Jettisons Objectivity on Climate Change
Consumer Reports. You probably have heard of it, as it has been around since 1936. Since then, it has offered valuable information to assess the safety and performance of many products and services, and has come to be widely trusted. So, you can understand why we were intrigued when it issued a blurb in one of its latest newsletters about…climate change. Wait…what? Consumer Reports maintains credibility by conducting its own evaluations based on its in-house testing laboratory and … [Read more...]
Drowning in Sewage and Dumping Money into a Climate Rathole
We humans dream of colonizing Mars, building flying cars, and achieving immortality. Yet, amidst this fervent pursuit of futures that sometimes drift into fantasy, we're neglecting critical problems of the present. An example is rampant pollution of our waters. This neglect exists even in advanced societies such as the United Kingdom, where untreated sewage spills into the Thames and other rivers, turning them into fetid cesspools. This isn't some dystopian vision of the … [Read more...]
Climate and Energy: A Case for Realism
Scientists and experts call it catastrophic. A U.S. president says it is “more frightening than a nuclear war.” Blamed for the deaths of millions, climate change is said to be an apocalyptic threat that requires government spending in the hundreds of trillions of dollars. Anyone who dares to deny the “science” of climate change is banished to an intellectual gulag, but climate change policies shouldn’t be determined by a coterie of elites in New York or Davos. Decisions that would drastically … [Read more...]
A Realist Climate Agenda
The following is a guest article by Jeremiah Poff. When I was a college student in the dilapidated industrial city of Steubenville, Ohio, I frequently would wake up to the smell of sulfur clinging to a heavy morning fog, thanks to the fumes spewed into the air by nearby industrial factories. I mention this not to disparage Steubenville, a town that once exemplified the American manufacturing dream but has since suffered greatly amid a decades-long economic decline. Rather I … [Read more...]
