Environmentalists and Green New Deal proponents like to say we must take care of the Earth, because “There is no Planet B.” Above all, they insist, we must eliminate fossil fuels, which they say are causing climate change worse than the all-natural ice ages, Medieval Warm Period or anything else in history. Their Plan A is simple: No fossil fuels. Keep them in the ground. More than a few Democrat presidential aspirants have said they would begin implementing that diktat their very first day in … [Read more...]
2019 the Third Least-Chilly in the Satellite Temperature Record
It’s that time of year again, when we are subjected to exaggerated climate claims such as in this Forbes article, 2019 Wraps Up The Hottest Decade In Recorded Human History. Given that the global average surface temperature is about 60 deg. F, and most of the climate protesters we see in the news are wearing more clothing than the average Key West bar patron, I would think that journalists striving for accuracy would use a more accurate term than “hottest”.So, I am announcing that … [Read more...]

Go Ahead and Eat Your Beef
No doubt you've heard that raising cattle (for beef or any other purpose) contributes to global warming because the critters have the nasty habit of emitting methane by belching and---well, what they do from the other end.A new paper by our friends Will Happer and W.A. van Wyngaarden at the CO2 Coalition quantifies global methane emissions' warming effect and finds it negligible.Each methane atom has about 30 times the heat (infrared) absorption capacity of each molecule of CO2, causing many … [Read more...]
When Winter Knocks Early: Don’t Let Climate Madness Trick You
Winter arrived early this year for many parts of the Northern Hemisphere.Winter has arrived early this year for many parts of the Northern Hemisphere.

Climate Models vs Observations: 2019 Update
Back around 2014 many people, me included, were commenting on the discrepancy between climate models and observations. In a report for the Fraser Institute I showed the following graph:The HadCRUT4 series (black) was then dipping below the 95% lower bound of the model distribution. The IPCC itself in the 5th Assessment Report (2013) noted that out of 114 model runs, 111 had overstated observed warming since the late 1990s. That same year, Hans von Storch told Der Spiegel thatIf things continue … [Read more...]
