The first thing to point out is that Dr Neira is Director of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health at the WHO.The second thing to note is that she is telling a pack of lies.The article in the Economist she is referring to actually says:Between 2000 and 2019, South Asia saw over 110,000 heat-related excess deaths a year, according to a study in Lancet Planetary Health, a journal.The Economist also wants readers to think that hot weather is killing more, as the article is … [Read more...]
Judith Curry to Senate (and Senator Whitehouse): Cool It!
So much theatrical foolishness happens in Congressional hearings that one wonders why anyone bothers with them. But every once in a while, someone really intelligent, really well informed, really courageous addresses one of them, and then it’s a good idea to pay attention.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashThat happened March 23 when our friend Dr. Judith Curry, President of Climate Forecast Applications Network and former Professor and Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at … [Read more...]
Jamie Dimon’s Climate Corporatism
Deep Throat never said, “follow the money.”That phrase, which has become one of the most famous axioms in politics and journalism, was featured in the 1976 movie “All the President’s Men,” which starred Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford. But that phrase was not in the 1974 book of the same title by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward that recounted their investigation into the Watergate debacle1 Instead, it appears the phrase was first used by an attorney named Henry Petersen who … [Read more...]
Greens Refuse to Discuss Recycling of Renewables and Restoration of Mining Locations to Pristine Conditions
The reality is that all the mineral products and metals needed to make wind turbines, solar panels, and EV batteries are mined and processed in places like Baotou, Inner Mongolia, Bolivia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, mostly under Chinese control. Decommissioning and restoration of those mining landscapes back to their original pristine condition is not in the cards in developing countries. Recycling of worn-out turbine blades, solar panels, and EV batteries in wealthy … [Read more...]
Legalized Climate Grifting
Grifters have long fascinated us. Operating outside accepted moral standards, they excel at persuading their “marks” to hand valuables over willingly. If they ever represented a “distinctly American ethos,” they’ve been supplanted by con artists seeking bank accounts for funds abandoned by Nigerian princes.Their artful dodging is epitomized by Frank Abagnale daring the FBI to “catch me if you can,” Anna Delvey inventing Anna Sorokin, Redford and Newman masterminding their famous Sting, and … [Read more...]
Shining Light on Science Education’s Dark Age
The science teachers’ bureaucracy is driving climate education into an unquestioning adherence to unscientific methodology. The cost will be measured in students without the facility for the more than 400-year-old scientific method and lacking the critical thinking necessary for sustaining civilization and advancing humankind.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashMany observers of education have been concerned for some time about the state of science education in America. Teaching, it seems, has … [Read more...]
These New Science Standards Will Indoctrinate Your Kids
The CO2 Coalition has reviewed the National Science Teaching Association’s Position Statement on Climate Change and has found that it has serious problems, which we address in this assessment. Our objections to this document are many but can be separated into two major categories. Our detailed rebuttal, Challenging NSTA Position Statement on Climate Change, was published on March 23, 2023.• Reliance on “consensus” science and a rejection of critical thinking skills and the scientific method.• … [Read more...]
The Pathway to End Poverty and the Christian’s Role
Christian love compels every follower of Jesus to help the poor and needy. Jesus, in Matthew 25:40, referring to help extended by the righteous people to the needy in the world, says, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”Half of the global population (4 billion) lives on less than $6.85 USD per person per day (less than $210 USD per month). Among them, around 650 million live on $2.15 USD or less per day (or less than $64 USD … [Read more...]
Will Breezes and Sunshine Charge Governor Jay Inslee’s EVs?
Washington State Governor Jay Inslee, like California’s Governor Gavin Newsom, is mandating that his state become all-electric. In doing so, Inslee demonstrates serious myopia. He cannot see the ugly side of his wind, solar, and EV-mandated world.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashSuch comprehensive dependence on wind and solar requires vast acreage for turbines and panels. The result? The pathetic destruction of pristine landscapes.Further, after decades of experience around the … [Read more...]
Legates Speaks At Delaware Electric Car Mandate Town Hall Meeting
