Nuclear Engineer Reveals “Climate Consensus” as Anti-Scientific

By /

Over at the American Nuclear Society’s ANS Cafe blog, ANS Fellow and Adjunct Professor of Nuclear Engineering Dr. Ruth Weiner exposes the anti-scientific character of appealing to consensus to push climate alarmism: Scientific thought progresses as a result of skepticism about a consensus rather than by invocation of that consensus. The fallacy of the 97 […]

Global Average Temperature Plummets! Tropical Temperature Fall Third-Biggest on Record!

By /

Forgive the headline. We’re mimicking the behavior of global warming alarmists. If we used their tactics, we’d proclaim this a major victory for climate realists. In reality, both a one-month drop of 0.15 deg. C in global temperature and a one-month drop of 0.38 deg. C in tropical temperature are stastically insignificant to long-term global

Why Is 2017’s “Third Warmest on Record” a Yawner?

By /

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) press release headline January 18 was blunt: “NOAA: 2017 was 3rd warmest year on record for the globe.” The tagline that followed made the inference obligatory for all climate alarmists: “NOAA, NASA scientists confirm Earth’s long-term warming trend continues” (emphasis added). The New York Times trumpeted, “2017 Was

Mourning the Loss of John Coleman—a Gentleman and a Scholar

By /

One of the more prominent, and colorful, voices among “climate skeptics” was John Coleman, co-founder of The Weather Channel and a broadcast meteorologist with over 60 years of experience. He died January 20. I count it a privilege to have known John through our joint participation in several of the International Conferences on Climate Change.

Can You Really Have Fun Debating Climate Change?

By /

“Unsafe Space,” dedicated to discussing serious issues in comedic fashion, did everyone a real service on January 22. It posted a panel discussion on climate change featuring scientists Jon Christensen (defending the alarmist view) and Willie Soon (defending the skeptics’ view). It’s a good discussion with plenty of give-and-take and at least a modicum of

Forget Climate Change, Defend America!

By /

George Orwell, call your office. In what Huffington Post‘s Alexander Kaufman called “an Orwellian rhetorical shift away from a scientific reality,” the Department of Defense “scrubbed its latest National Defense Strategy of all references to climate change.” In all likelihood, Orwell would call the 30-year campaign for climate alarmism—with all its oxymoronic appeals to “scientific consensus,”

Bringing Much-Needed Reality to Extreme Weather Claims

By /

For decades, headlines around the world have claimed that various extreme weather events—hurricanes, typhoons, floods, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, even cold snaps—are driven by global warming. Similar claims have persisted in the record-breaking cold afflicting North America this winter. Such claims become rationale for expensive policies to mitigate the warming by cutting CO2 emissions, achievable

Larry Bell takes NY Times reporter to the woodshed for taking President Trump to the woodshed

By /

Kendra Pierre-Louis will rue the day when she took it on herself to teach President Donald Trump the difference between climate and weather. So will the New York Times, the newspaper in which she did it. Why? Because she was right. And that meant she and the Times were wrong. Larry Bell took her to the woodshed

We encourage citizens to make their own opinions known to Administrator Pruitt. By the way, what comes out of the
