How You Can Help Bahamians Devastated by Dorian

When Hurricane Dorian ground to a halt over the Bahamas, it was immediately clear that the result would be widespread devastation. While, thank God, the death toll has remained comparatively low so far, the cost in terms of destroyed homes, businesses, and infrastructure is breathtaking.

Climate Alarmists in Denial about “97% Consensus”

Dana Nuccitelli, than whom it would be difficult to find a more strident or persistent advocate of global warming alarmism, is upset (as usual). Why? He is shocked—shocked!—to find that “Millions of times later, 97 percent climate consensus still faces denial.” Some people, despite having been castigated for it for over a decade, continue to

Dear Friends: What time is it? Take a look and see for sure. I’ll tell you later why.

Why Climate Change Chicken Littles Demand Action NOW!

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

Greenland’s Heatwave: What It Doesn’t Mean for All of Us

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

“Test all things.” Even the Cornwall Alliance? Yes!

“Bombshell Claim: Scientists Find ‘Man-made Climate Change Doesn’t Exist in Practice’.” That was the headline on an article at ZeroHedge.com sent to me a few days ago by a friend. Naturally I was intrigued. I read the article, then clicked through to the paper on which it reported: “No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic

“America’s Environmental Leadership”—An Oxymoron?

“America’s Environmental Leadership.” If you believe most media, most of the political class, much of academia, and certainly Hollywood stars (who of course are our intellectual betters), that phrase sounds oxymoronic. That’s how many people thought of it when President Donald Trump delivered remarks on “America’s Environmental Leadership” at a meeting in the White House
