One hardly knows where to begin in assessing the sanity of the recent claim that “climate change” (aka dangerous manmade global warming renamed to hide the fact that far less warming is happening than predicted) could suffocate—yes, suffocate!—sea creatures by reducing ocean oxygen levels. The scary story comes mainly from popular reports. Take, for example, […]

How Economically Competitive is “Renewable Energy”?

Condemnation’s always most credible when issued by a supporter. That’s what the renewable energy sector got from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s U.S. Renewable Portfolio Standards 2016 Annual Status Report, which states right in its highlights: “More than half of all growth in renewable electricity (RE) generation (60%) and capacity (57%) since 2000 is associated with

Do AGs Bent on Prosecuting Climate Skeptics Have a Political Agenda?

You can’t make these things up! A small group of attorneys general, led by New York AG Eric Schneiderman, held a press conference Wednesday, March 30, to announce their determination to track down and prosecute for fraud (knowingly conveying false information to enrich oneself or harm others) evil skeptics of climate change. One look at

Why Was March 2016 the Warmest March in the Satellite Record?

UAH Principal Research Scientist and Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer just posted the monthly UAH satellite temperature update on his blog, and on global average, last month was the warmest March since satellite monitoring began in 1979. Predictably, climate scaremongers are hailing this as proof positive that our evil emissions of evil

97% Consensus of Unqualified Scientists Isn’t Worth Much

Roy Spencer just published an excellent article bursting the “97% consensus” balloon. Here’s an excerpt: The 97 percent number comes from a 2013 paper that was published by John Cook in Environmental Research Letters and that claimed to review about 12,000 published scientific papers on global warming and climate change. Now, for those of us
