Manufacturing Consensus on Climate Change
Modern political movements have not infrequently laid claim to being based in science, from immigration restriction and eugenics (in the U.S. after WWI), to antisemitism and race ideology (in Hitler’s Germany), to Communism and Lysenkoism (under Stalin). Each of these falsely invoked a scientific consensus that convinced highly educated citizens, who were nonetheless ignorant of science, to set aside the anxieties associated with their ignorance. Since all scientists supposedly agreed, there was … [Read more...]
More Road Crashes Ahead in Britain’s Dim Future

“Minoritize” This: Paternalistic Woke Academic Climate Change Preening
The following is a guest article by Charles Rotter.Oh, fantastic. Another unreadable study with a title so boring it might as well come with a pillow for nap breaks: Localizing (or Not) Climate Change in Spanish-Language Newspapers in the United States. Don’t let that faux-neutral title fool you. This paper is the academic equivalent of a toddler stomping its feet because it didn’t get its way. Spanish-language newspapers aren’t panicking enough about the climate? Time for a … [Read more...]
Quit Fearmongering, Climate Change is Not a National Security Threat
The following is a guest article by Linnea Lueken and H. Sterling BurnettA recent post at The Nation titled “Climate Change Is the Real National Security Threat” claims that climate change is the reason hurricanes Helene and Milton were so damaging and that it is the premier national security threat to the United States.

Over the past few decades, we have witnessed remarkable success stories of species being brought back from the brink of extinction—stories that defy the popular media narrative that a climate modestly warmer than the Little Ice Age is killing our planet’s life … [Read more...]
Let’s Make CO2 Great Again
As the love affair with so-called green energy cools and “net zero” commitments to eliminate “carbon emissions” wane, we see glimmers of acknowledgment for the benefits of carbon dioxide. That’s right: More people are beginning to understand that the gas – widely demonized as a pollutant endangering Earth with excessive heat – is a life-giving substance needed in greater amounts. U.S. voters know that President-elect Donald Trump has declared the Green New Deal a “scam” and promises to … [Read more...]
