The News that Didn’t Fit—What I Told a New York Times “Reporter,” and He Didn’t Report

By /

On June 16, 2015, I received an email from New York Times “reporter” Justin Gillis, who has written much highly critical of those who are skeptical of claims of catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming—people like me.

IPCC’s Hypersophisticated Forecasts vs. Scott Armstrong’s Super-Simple Forecast: Who Wins?

By /

The essence of science is testing predictions by comparison with real-world observations. Al Gore and the IPCC have been saying for years that human emissions of CO2 would cause global warming at a rate of 3C per century.

By /

Ivar Giaever explains in this video lecture why he rejects global warming alarming. “It’s ridiculous,” he says, to think we can measure global average temperature (GAT) accurately, and that we should consider an increase in GAT from ~1880 to 2015 from ~288 degrees Kelvin to ~288.8 degrees Kelvin (an increase of only 0.3%) frightening. There’s
