[Editor’s note: You’ve heard there are “lies, damned lies, and statistics”? That it’s easy to lie with statistics—even if your numbers are true? Those aphorisms are absolutely true. And what our friends at the CO2 Coalition reveal in this brief article is a stellar example. Lancet, which is among the most respected medical journals, should be ashamed to have published the incredibly deceptive graph shown on the left. Thanks to the CO2 Coalition, the graph on the right corrects it. Climate … [Read more...]
The Urban Heat Island Effect in GHCN Station Temperatures: Urban Locations Show Large Spurious Warming Effects
It has been a while since I have posted progress on our DOE-funded research into the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in the GHCN station temperatures used to monitor land-based global warming. It should be remembered that everything I post on this subject is (as is usually the case) a work in progress.What I am addressing is the existence of localized long-term warming associated with population increases which are over and above the large-scale warming due to humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions … [Read more...]
Education Game-Changer
Last week, for the first time, a major state formally rebuked one of the core elements of the Left’s scheme to undermine our education system (see below). If other states are paying attention, this could be the beginning of an extraordinarily significant awakening and rejection of the stranglehold that the Left now has on our K-12 education system.It’s no secret that the Left plans to take down America. Their number one strategy to bring this about is to corrupt the education system. Their … [Read more...]
Great Car Reset: Biden’s EPA to Release Strict New Fed Emissions Standard
The Great Car Reset has arrived: Our transportation system is being intentionally collapsed; (and our freedom of movement is being stripped away) EVs are to be forced upon YOU without a vote!This is the planned rationing of vehicles. The planned rationing of American cars. That’s the only way this plan makes sense. The only result will be shortages of cars and a completely altered used car market. You can look to Cuba to find out what it’s like to have a raging used car market because … [Read more...]
Some Like It Hot – Others Like It Cold
The drivel from air-conditioned mainstream media newsrooms has reached new levels of guffaw with the “shocking” headlines that the Fourth of July was the hottest day on Earth in “as many as 125,000 years” – breaking a record set on July 3. Hmmm. Really? Or is this just hype to avoid mentioning the shortfall of patriotic fireworks, replaced by drones across much of the Home of the Brave (not so much.)Here’s what we know IS true. In many places, including central Texas, it was HOT on … [Read more...]
Finally, the Europeans May Be Rejecting the EV Kool-Aid
You may not know it if you rely solely on American media, but there is a growing revolt across much of Europe against net-zero mandates in general and electric vehicle mandates in particular.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashIt seems that led by luxury carmakers, the future may be bright for the venerable internal combustion engine if new synthetic fuel technologies can produce an affordable replacement for gasoline and diesel fuels.The revolt had been brewing since Europe got a wake-up call … [Read more...]
UN Secretary-General Wrong to Blame Climate Change for Somalian Suffering
The following is a guest article by Linnea Lueken.U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently gave a speech in Somalia in which he claimed Somalia is suffering from the impacts of climate change disproportionately, specifically concerning crop production amid an ongoing regional drought. This is false. Somalia is not suffering famine and crop failures primarily due to drought. Social and political instability is a much more likely culprit, especially since Somalia’s current drought is not … [Read more...]
Climate Fearmongering Reaches Stratospheric Heights
A new paper by Santer et al., provocatively entitled “Exceptional stratospheric contribution to human fingerprints on atmospheric temperature,” goes where no serious climate scientist should go: it has conflated stratospheric cooling with global warming.The paper starts out summarizing the supposed importance of their work, which is worth quoting in its entirety (bold emphasis added):“Differences between tropospheric and lower stratospheric temperature trends have long been recognized as a … [Read more...]
It’s Hard to Keep Special Interests Happy, But the Government Keeps Trying
The following is a guest article by Jane Shaw Stroup.Chances are, you haven’t heard of RFS, RINs, eRINs, RVOs, or maybe even RNG. I hadn’t.But if you are part of the agricultural and waste-industry interests that promote “biofuels,” you know all about them. They are the means by which fuel generated by corn, wood, waste from a landfill, or other “natural” biomass gets into your gasoline in the form of ethanol (at one time called gasohol)—or into other fuel like jet fuel.As economists know, the … [Read more...]
Senate Budget Committee Hearing: JC responds
The recent Senate hearing was a sad example of what passes for debate and deliberations by the U.S. Senate. In any event, it provides an interesting case study of why the U.S. cannot bridge the partisan divide and figure out how to deal sensibly with the climate change issue.In case you missed it, the Chair of the Senate Budget, Sheldon Whitehouse, has immortalized on youtube his questioning of me at the end of the Hearing: Chairman Whitehouse Presses GOP Witness in Budget … [Read more...]
