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...]

The Hazards of Lending Books on Climate Change
Today my good friend Dr. Tom Sheahen, a physicist and head of the Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology (ITEST), wrote to say, Already this morning a friend sent me the "Patriot Post" rendition of your article ["Senator Whitehouse, Your New Wardrobe Is Ready"] that quotes me at length. Thank you very much. The "sackcloth and ashes" wardrobe line was really clever. I didn't see that coming at all. I just wish some members of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church would … [Read more...]
Senator Whitehouse, Your New Wardrobe Is Ready
One of the things I most appreciate about Joe Bastardi's book The Climate Chronicles: Inconvenient Revelations You Won't Hear from Al Gore---And Others is the long historical perspective he brings. Again and again he quotes alarmists about manmade global warming claiming that this or that event, or this or that series of events, or this or that period in this or that place, is "unprecedented" and therefore obviously due to human-induced warming---and then he opens up the history records and … [Read more...]
Why You MUST Read Joe Bastardi’s The Climate Chronicles
The 38th through 41st chapters of the Book of Job are among the most majestic, awe-inspiring passages in all literature, inside and outside the Bible. I cannot read them and not feel small, humbled by the omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience of God. They record questions God hurls rapid-fire, “out of the whirlwind,” at Job to impress on him his utter inability to control or even to explain the day-to-day events of the world. Here are a few, from Job 38:4–20: Where were you when I laid … [Read more...]
Great Victory for Freedom of Debate and Integrity of Science—Canadian Court Vindicates Climate Skeptic Timothy Ball
Dr. Timothy Ball, a climatologist and former professor at University of Winnipeg and outspoken critic of climate alarmism, won a huge victory in a Canadian court yesterday. As longtime friends of Tim's and admirers of his courageous work for the cause of truth and climate sanity, we at the Cornwall Alliance congratulate him. His son reported to Anthony Watts of WattsUpWithThat.com yesterday, "This morning the judge dismissed all charges in the lawsuit brought against Tim by BC Green Party … [Read more...]
