What the Dems said about climate change

Climate Change’s Great Legacy: International Wealth Redistribution
A $Trillion here, a $Trillion there---pretty soon you're talking real money. No, I'm not talking about the U.S. national debt, now at over $18 trillion. That's a very bad thing that threatens to impoverish our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I'm talking about the $Trillions being demanded by developing-world countries from rich countries (primarily the United States) as the price of their signing onto a global agreement to cut CO2 emissions at COP21 in Paris in … [Read more...]
Green Climate Fund Gets a Slow Start
The $100 billion slush fund---er, Green Climate Fund---created at the COP17 climate summit in Durban, South Africa, is supposed to redistribute money from wealthy developed countries to poor developing countries (or at least to the thugs who run them). Call it a kind of penalty for the developed countries' having overcome poverty before the developing ones, raising atmospheric CO2 concentration along the way, igniting sudden and catastrophic global warming (absent for the last 18 years and 8 … [Read more...]
“The Pause” Remains 18 Years 8 Months Despite Strong El Niño
Each month when RSS (Remote Sensing Systems) updates its global average temperature data, Lord Christopher Monckton calculates how far back one can go in the RSS record without showing a positive trend, i.e., how long "the pause" is. It's been lengthening for several years and as of the end of August had reached 18 years and 8 months. Now, with a strong El Niño developing in the Pacific, the calculation yields a new starting point---not January of 1997 but February. We might say we've hit a … [Read more...]
Climate Skeptics: Bought By Fossil Fuel Companies?
The 30+ scholars---scientists, economists, theologians, and more, interviewed for Cornwall Alliance's Greener on the Other Side: Climate Alarmism---Facts, Not Fear video series---address in this latest video the charge that they're in the pocket of "Big Oil" or the fossil fuel industry in general.

Sheahen, Ph.D., Physics, Director, … [Read more...]
India Dances toward Paris
India last week announced its "climate action plan" in preparation for December's climate summit in Paris, and the featured points grabbed the world's attention: 40% increase of "clean [i.e., CO2-free] energy" by 2030; reduced CO2 "emission intensity" by 33% from 2005 levels by 2030; calling for wealth countries of the West to help it meet the costs of these efforts. That last point is the one to be taken most seriously. As for the first two, well, there's lots of smoke and mirrors, but … [Read more...]

“Scientific” “Studies”: What Makes them Credible?
The following caught my eye in today's Weekly News from Science: Can epigenetics explain homosexuality puzzle? Michael Balter A new study suggests that epigenetic effects-chemical modifications of the human genome that alter gene activity without changing the DNA sequence-may sometimes influence sexual orientation.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Gets It: Forget ‘Climate Change’, Energy Empowers the Poor
Speaking September 29 at the UN General Assembly, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it perfectly clear: India will not stop or even slow its people's rise out of poverty to satisfy the global warming elites of the West. Modi told the UN that any climate agreement acceptable to India must function "without affecting our ability to meet the development aspirations of humanity." And India intends to meet those aspirations by providing the abundant, affordable, reliable electricity without … [Read more...]
