The victory of President Trump in 2016 was indicative of a lot of things. From the media’s inability to gauge voter perceptions to the aftermath shock, plenty was going on. The victory also meant that the voters in U.S. chose a candidate who was skeptical about the exaggerated climate doomsday claims we see in our news media these days. In his pre-election rallies, President Trump was clear about his pro-coal stance and questioned the popular theories htat blamed fossil fuels for extreme … [Read more...]
Some Tricks Climate Alarmists Play
When empirical data show so clearly that computer climate models grossly exaggerate the warming effect of carbon dioxide, how do climate alarmists maintain public alarm? Tricks. Among the more famous was “Mike’s Nature trick.” University of East Anglia climate scientist Phil Jones wrote that he had used “Mike’s Nature trick” of “adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie [sic] from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] for Keith's to hide the decline" [emphasis added]. The … [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 … [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 Many Years Are Left to Save the Planet?
Ten. Always ten. Well, almost always ten. Tony Heller recites some of the history of apocalyptic predictions from climate alarmists in this clear, simple video: Remember that every time you hear new warnings of how little time we have left to stop global warming (or global cooling) lest the planet die.

Silencing Science the Facebook Way
Those who back the notion of man-made catastrophic warming don’t just support it as one would other technical or scientific ideas. Instead, they embrace the idea with the fervency of a religious zealot and brook no thought, science, or fact that may in any way call into question the premise of a planet spiraling into one climate apocalypse after another due to our “sins of emission.” The facts of a concerted effort to silence contrarian climate reporting became crystal clear to me soon after … [Read more...]
An Unlikely Ally for Scientists who Question Climate Alarmism
The "closest thing to a celebrity scientist in Seattle" is what the Seattle Times calls Cliff Mass, "a meteorologist who specializes in weather prediction and modeling," according to his faculty bio at the University of Washington's College of the Environment. Mass, a Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at UW, wrote The Weather of the Pacific Northwest—one of the best-selling books from the University of Washington Press. He firmly believes that Earth has been warming for about the last 130 years, … [Read more...]
What Happens to Professors who Dare Question Climate Orthodoxy?
Well, sometimes they're told to shut up. And if they don't, sometimes they get fired. And after that, sometimes they get told to shut up about being fired. That's the gist of what's happened to Dr. Peter Ridd, ex-professor of marine science at James Cook University in Australia. Ridd had the temerity to point out, in a chapter for the book Climate Change: The Facts 2017, that studies on which the claim that rising atmospheric CO2 concentration---blamed also for catastrophic anthropogenic global … [Read more...]
What’s a “Climate Skeptic”?
In his recent article “Four Reasons Alarmists Are Wrong on Climate Change,” Cornwall Alliance Research Associate for Developing Countries Vijay Jayaraj distinguished what, following widespread usage, he called climate-change alarmists, deniers, and skeptics. The “alarmists” generally think that human emissions of carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) are driving global warming so rapid and eventually of such great magnitude as to be dangerous or even catastrophic and that the appropriate … [Read more...]
Climate Alarmist Consensus—About to Shatter?
Is this the End of the Beginning, or the Beginning of the End? On November 10, 1942, after British and Commonwealth forces defeated the Germans and Italians at the Second Battle of El Alamein, taking nearly 30,000 prisoners, Winston Churchill told the British Parliament, “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” In The Hinge of Fate, volume 3 of his marvelous 6-volume history of World War II, published eight years later, he … [Read more...]
