How Do Hard Data and Computer Climate Models’ Dire Predictions Compare?

Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman explained “the key to science” this way: In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result […]

A Humorous and Devastating Critique of Green Economics

Just a brief note to recommend the reading of Tim Worstall’s Chasing Rainbows: How the Green Agenda Defeats Its Aims. For fullest enjoyment, understand from the start that you must imagine its whole text being said aloud by an Englishman in a tone riddled with sarcasm. Think of Fawlty Towers or some such.

Forget Climate Change, Defend America!

George Orwell, call your office. In what Huffington Post‘s Alexander Kaufman called “an Orwellian rhetorical shift away from a scientific reality,” the Department of Defense “scrubbed its latest National Defense Strategy of all references to climate change.” In all likelihood, Orwell would call the 30-year campaign for climate alarmism—with all its oxymoronic appeals to “scientific consensus,”
