Britain’s Prince Charles said it: “the next 18 months will decide our ability to keep climate change to survivable levels.” There you go. 18 months. And you thought AOC was shrill! Why 18 months? Supposedly because, as Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, founder and director emeritus of the Potsdam Climate Institute, and one Pope Francis’s chief advisors

CNN ushered in August yesterday with a boilerplate scare story about a heat wave spurring rapid melting from Greenland’s ice sheet. Like many such articles, Sheena McKenzie’s “Greenland is in the grips of a heatwave. Here’s what it means for all of us” scares by presenting big numbers without putting them into relevant proportion: “In

Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist, professor of political science, and director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University. Like many climate scientists, she thinks human activity is causing dangerously rapid global warming and that we ought to take expensive steps to stop it.

For over a decade, evangelicals have been the most skeptical subset of the American population about claims of catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming (CAGW). Don’t count on their staying that way. Recently Physics World reported on an experiment conducted at three evangelical colleges to see how students’ views about global warming/climate change would shift if they

Three years ago, YaleEnvironment360, published by the reliably climate-alarmist Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, ran “Abrupt Sea Level Rise Looms As Increasingly Realistic Threat,” by Nicola Jones, a freelance journalist specializing in chemistry and oceanography.
