Last week in WattsUpwithThat.com I published the article "Did Trump Appoint Jack the Ripper as Guardian of a Girls’ School?" It lampooned, and rebutted, attacks on Princeton physicist Dr. Will Happer and President Donald Trump's intent for him to head a committee on climate security at the National Security Council.That generated lots of comments, mostly favorable, and the unfavorable ones were, mostly, handily refuted by others.One favorable one, though, was was so brilliant I just have to … [Read more...]
Did Trump Appoint Jack the Ripper as Guardian of a Girls’ School?
You’d think so, if you observed the reactions by the climate-change establishment to President Donald Trump’s appointment, back in September, of Will Happer as Senior Director for Emerging Technologies on the National Security Council (NSC), and the prospect of Trump’s forming a Presidential Committee on Climate Security, headed by Happer, under the NSC, to bring the evidence for and against dangerous manmade global warming to the table for review.First example: EcoWatch “reported,” “The White … [Read more...]
The More Things Change, the More they Stay the Same
My friend David Saulsbury, a chemist, just reminded me of Newsweek's April 28, 1975, article, "The Cooling World," saying, "it is a good exercise to periodically go back and review the end of the earth predictions from the past. The discussion never changes, only the dates and a willingness to exchange cooling to warming to fit the narrative."He then listed a few interesting quotes that one could readily plug into global warming alarmist articles today---only these all were offered in support of … [Read more...]
More Evidence that Deep-State EPA Bureaucrats Aren’t Giving Up
Just in case you wondered whether deep-state bureaucrats at the federal Environmental Protection Agency had finally been brought under control, accountable to the people through their elected President and the EPA Administrator he appoints and the Senate that confirms the appointment, the answer is "No."Cause of Action Institute announced yesterday that it has discovered that, despite the fact that "the EPA informed the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) that as of June 2018, … [Read more...]

CO2, Early Blossoms, the Sun, and Climate Change
Sometimes laymen find better ways to communicate things than experts. Example? Wilhelm Peterson and I first got acquainted when he wrote me a letter some years ago, enclosing a donation to the Cornwall Alliance, and I noticed under his signature that in World War II he had piloted P-51 fighter planes based on Iwo Jima, escorting B-29 bombers on raids. Nothing prominent there, just a quiet, simple fact. My heart pounded as I realized I had just read a letter from a hero, a man who had … [Read more...]
The Uninhabited Mind of David Wallace-Wells
David Wallace-Wells shook up a lot of people with a "horrifying 2017 essay in New York magazine about climate change. It was an attempt to paint a very real picture of our not-too-distant future, a future filled with famines, political chaos, economic collapse, fierce resource competition, and a sun that 'cooks us.'" Now he's got a book out that builds on that article, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life after Warming, which Vox describes as "a brutal read," "more terrifying" than the "terrifying … [Read more...]
Shame on Scientific American and E&E News for Lying about John Christy
Scientific American, apparently following the lead of E&E News, headlined its report of Dr. John Christy's appointment to the federal Environmental Protection Agency "Scientist Who Rejects Warming Is Named to EPA Advisory Board." The truth---which E&E News and SA undoubtedly know, is that John Christy most certainly doesn't "reject warming." He manages the NASA satellite data that are our best source for truly global, all-latitudes, all-longitudes, all-altitudes atmospheric … [Read more...]
How To Respond to Ocasio-Cortez’s Claim that World Ends in 12 Years If We Don’t Address Climate Change?
Some friends have wondered why I haven't blogged in response to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's claim that "The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change." It's because some claims are so absurd they need no response. … [Read more...]
Does Fighting Global Warming Help or Hurt the Poor?
Want to "bring nothing but misery to poor people, especially in the developing world"? Simple: Just follow the advice of the international cabal of UN leaders and their organizations calling for drastic action to fight global warming. The harangue is familiar everywhere by now: Global warming will harm everybody, but it'll harm the poor most of all. Curbing it will help everybody, but it'll help the poor most of all. Is that true? Not according to Dr. Mikko Paunio, an expert on public health … [Read more...]
