People often ask us for recommendations of things to read or view to help them grasp the arguments over global warming.For instance, “What would be the best book/article which critiques the global warming hysteria?” Or “What’s a good short, simple thing to read about climate change?” Or “What should I give to my scientist friend that will show that serious climate scientists question the idea of catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming?”Many resources come to mind. Below are some … [Read more...]
How well do climate models simulate global temperature?
Earlier today I blogged on an article at Daily Caller about Dr. William Happer's resignation from the National Security Council. I pointed out that climate models simulate much more warming than actually observed over the relevant period.Someone responded, "Complete and utter bull^*@%. The modeling is accurate."Ignore the vulgarity's telltale sign that this wasn't by someone with a particularly scientific mindset.Is he correct in saying, "The modeling is accurate"?One needn't speculate to answer … [Read more...]
Daily Caller toes climate alarmist line on Happer resignation
The resignation of Dr. Will Happer, Emeritus Professor of Physics at Princeton and one of America's finest physicists, from the National Security Council (NSC) is an important event. It is a sign of just how difficult it is to overcome the "deep state's" stranglehold on government policy, despite the fact that President Donald Trump is at the helm.Happer was tapped for the NSC with the expectation that he would head a Presidential Council on Climate Security (PCCS), one function of which would … [Read more...]
Time to Eat Uncle Jim to Protect the Climate?
How far will people go to fight climate change? You might have thought you'd seen the limits. Think again.Banning fossil fuels and prescribing "renewable energy" is so last century. Urging vegetarianism or veganism is so last decade. Pushing for population control is so last year. Embracing abortion is so yesterday.If you really want to be cutting edge, you need to think about family. As in, your uncle Jim and cousin Mary.As in, eating them after they die.That, after all, would reduce your … [Read more...]
The Real Motives Behind Green New America and its Radical Undertone
Do you hold a moderate or neutral opinion on climate? Then get ready to be sidelined or blacklisted as a “denier” or “dangerous person” by the growing number of radicals who believe there should be no room for dissent.Welcome to the Green New America.In earlier days, the color Green was largely associated with nature and the abundance of life. In the 20th century, Green became the symbol of the fight against all things that destroys the environment. In the U.S., the color Green took a new form … [Read more...]
Climate Alarmists Make Evangelical College Students the Bull’s Eye
For over a decade, evangelicals have been the most skeptical subset of the American population about claims of catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming (CAGW).Don’t count on their staying that way.Recently Physics World reported on an experiment conducted at three evangelical colleges to see how students’ views about global warming/climate change would shift if they viewed a professionally done one-hour presentation designed to persuade them that it’s real, mainly human-induced, dangerous, and … [Read more...]
21st Century Sea Level Rise: 6 Feet, or 3 Inches?
Three years ago, YaleEnvironment360, published by the reliably climate-alarmist Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, ran "Abrupt Sea Level Rise Looms As Increasingly Realistic Threat," by Nicola Jones, a freelance journalist specializing in chemistry and oceanography.The article followed the standard formula of warnings about climate change and its catastrophic consequences: present a scary hypothesis as if it were a fait accompli."Ninety-nine percent of the planet’s freshwater ice … [Read more...]
Are Voters Finally Approving Climate Skepticism?
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 man-made … [Read more...]
Is Brazil’s Climate Stance Justified?
The 25th Conference of Parties to the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change was scheduled to take place in Brazil this year. Not anymore. Brazil pulled out.Brazil once offered to host this year’s Latin America and Caribbean Climate Week. It just withdrew the offer.Brazil has also declined an invitation to attend the on-going UNDP-sponsored Good Growth Conference in Lima, Peru.And recently President Jair Bolsonaro fired Alfredo Sirkis from his position at the top of the Brazil … [Read more...]
… until the other comes and examines him.
Has the climate-change controversy reached a milestone? That depends in part on whether President Donald Trump follows through with his desire to appoint a President's Committee on Climate Security (PCCS) under the National Security Council (NSC). The PCCS would be tasked with assessing the pros and cons of various perspectives on climate change---subjecting them to serious scientific testing. That's something climate alarmists haven't wanted done, which is why they've insisted for decades that … [Read more...]
