Get it Right, Washington Post, Climate Change Isn’t Causing a Decline in Coral Reefs

By /

Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash The Washington Post (WP) published a story detailing how the efforts by a Malaysian “coral gardener,” Anuar Abdulla, to restore coral reefs near his home have resulted in him being consulted on coral restoration efforts globally. Unfortunately, rather than simply delivering well-earned praise to Abdullah for his worthwhile efforts, the WP had […]

There’s No Natural ‘Carrying Capacity’ for the Human Population: An Essay Inspired by the Happy News that the Human Population Has Reached Eight Billion

By /

Editor’s note: I am delighted to read economist Donald Boudreaux’s high praise of the late Julian Simon in the article below. I read Simon’s The Economics of Population Growth and The Ultimate Resource, plus The Resourceful Earth, which he co-edited with Herman Kahn, as part of research for my book Prospects for Growth: A Biblical View of Population, Resources, and

Canadian Summer Urban Heat Island Effects: Some Results in Alberta

By /

Summary Comparison of rural with urban temperature monitoring sites across Canada during the summers of 1978-2022 shows the expected average nighttime warm bias in urban areas, with a weaker daytime effect. When applied to the Landsat imagery-based diagnoses of increased urbanization over time, 20% of the temperature trends in a small region encompassing Calgary and

50-Year U.S. Summer Temperature Trends: ALL 36 Climate Models Are Too Warm

By /

I’ll get right to the results, which are pretty straightforward. As seen in the accompanying plot, 50-year (1973-2022) summer (June/July/August) temperature trends for the contiguous 48 U.S. states from 36 CMIP-6 climate model experiments average nearly twice the warming rate as observed by the NOAA climate division dataset. The 36 models are those cataloged at

COP-27: A Window Into How The UN Keeps The Poor Poor

By /

Even as we give thanks this season for the wonderful benefits of a freedom-based political and economic system, the UN’s big annual “climate” conference, this year going by the moniker COP-27, has only recently wound up. As with most everything the UN does, there was nothing in this conference for anyone to be thankful for.

De-Urbanization of Surface Temperatures with the Landsat-Based “Built-Up” Dataset

By /

A relatively new global dataset of urbanization changes over the 40-year period 1975-2014 based upon Landsat data is used to determine the average effect urbanization has had on surface temperatures. A method is presented to compute the magnitude of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect on temperatures using the example of summertime 09 UTC (early morning) Integrated

How the War on Nitrous Oxide Threatens Global Food Supply

By /

An extremely dangerous trend in public policy is growing around the world: demanding reduced emissions, mainly from agriculture, of nitrous oxide (N2O) because it contributes to global warming. Indeed, we’re told, every molecule of nitrous oxide in the atmosphere has 230 times the warming potential of every molecule of carbon dioxide—and governments all over the

In case you hadn’t heard, radical environmentalists and their globalist, “Great Reset” allies, people I like to call “climate cops,” are holding their annual doom-fest. The 27th “Conference of the Parties,” or COP, of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change started November 6 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, and has drawn some 40,000 participants from
