UAH Principal Research Scientist and Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer just posted the monthly UAH satellite temperature update on his blog, and on global average, last month was the warmest March since satellite monitoring began in 1979. Predictably, climate scaremongers are hailing this as proof positive that our evil emissions of evil […]

[Note: This essay was written in the summer of 2010 at the request of Dr. Patrick Michaels, intended for a book he was editing. His publisher declined to include it in the book because of its religious content. It was never published elsewhere until now. We hope it remains a helpful survey of the history
Robert Mugabe, the sempiternal dictator of Zimbabwe since 1980, has been an international pariah for some time. But could global warming thaw his frayed and frosty relationships with world leaders?

Forget about the First Amendment, the indispensable role of vigorous debate and testing in the progress of scientific knowledge, the reality of major reversals in science, the tremendous benefits of fossil-fuel-derived energy in lifting and keeping whole societies—and their individual members—out of poverty, disease, and premature death. Those mean nothing to climate alarmists like Sen.

Over 300 scientists, engineers, economists, and other scholars last week sent a letter to Congressman Lamar Smith, Chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, in support of the Committee’s efforts to implement greater accountability for the scientific work of federal agencies involved in climate research, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

The photogenic Arctic megafauna (polar bears, walruses, and seals) that global warming alarmists use to gin up public empathy for their campaign against global warming have survived far greater temperature swings than anything the IPCC predicts should come from human activity, concludes a new study. Oh, well. The alarmists will surely keep using them anyway.

Judith Curry delivers a (typically) very thoughtful analysis of one attempt to push people into applying the “Precautionary Principle” so as to embrace major policy initiatives to mitigate “climate change” to avoid its risks. I’ll not try to summarize here other than to say she shows clearly that the arguments fail. Read her post here.

Master Sun [Tzu] talks often about deception and therefore warns against being deceived by the enemy and underestimating their ability. ‘He who exercises no forethought but makes light of his opponents is sure to be captured by them.’ It’s important to properly assess your opponent without prejudice or assumption. Many skeptics of catastrophic, anthropogenic global

Last week I posted a blog piece answering the objections of one Christian college faculty member, a theology professor, to our Open Letter on Climate Change to the People, their Local Representatives, the State Legislatures and Governors, the Congress, and the President of the United States of America because he thought the world’s poor would
