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...]
Climate Warriors Ironically Caught in Arctic Sea Ice
Their aim was to capture film footage for use in a documentary about "climate change" (which, remember, is code for "dangerous to catastrophic manmade global warming).That was what 16 people identified as "Climate Change Warriors" were doing aboard the Arctic Tours ship MS Malmo when, on September 3, the ship got caught in Arctic sea ice that neither passengers nor crew anticipated.The incident occurred off Longyearbyen, Svalbard Archipelago, halfway between Norway (which owns the islands) and … [Read more...]
Evidence of Media Bias about Climate Change Part 2: Greenland is Rapidly Melting
This is the second in a series by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. (Meteorology), Principal Research Scientist, University of Alabama at Huntsville, exposing media bias in reporting about climate change. This first appeared as part of a longer article by Dr. Spencer on his blog.The Greenland ice sheet gains new snow every year, and gravity causes the sheet to slowly flow to the sea where ice is lost by calving of icebergs. How much ice resides in the sheet at any given time … [Read more...]
Why am I Not Seeing Record High Temperatures Every Year? Climate Reality for the Confused Generation
Global warming, caused by greenhouse gases from human activity, is causing the earth to become warmer each year and cause historic highs. That has been the dominant narrative in our world today. It is not difficult to realize that there is something amiss with this warming narrative, when our thermometers and satellites don’t record historic highs linearly, i.e., incremental temperatures on consecutive years, with every new year surpassing the record high of the previous year. For example, the … [Read more...]
“Test all things.” Even the Cornwall Alliance? Yes!
"Bombshell Claim: Scientists Find 'Man-made Climate Change Doesn't Exist in Practice'." That was the headline on an article at ZeroHedge.com sent to me a few days ago by a friend.Naturally I was intrigued. I read the article, then clicked through to the paper on which it reported: "No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change," by Finnish authors J. Kauippinen and P. Malmi, both of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Turku.Its abstract … [Read more...]
Katharine Hayhoe Ventures into Theology
Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist, professor of political science, and director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University. Like many climate scientists, she thinks human activity is causing dangerously rapid global warming and that we ought to take expensive steps to stop it. She also identifies as an evangelical, and that's why mainstream media give her so much attention---Time magazine having named her one of the 100 most influential people of 2014.When some … [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...]
What If Evangelical Students Heard More than One Side of the Global Warming Debate?
Two years ago, evangelical environmental law professor John Murdock wrote in First Things that in 2012 former Evangelical Environmental Network head Jim Ball, author of Global Warming and the Risen Lord, “speaking at the World Wildlife Fund in D.C., [proclaimed] it a ‘fool’s errand’ to try to reach the right side of the evangelical spectrum” with the message that human-induced global warming is real and dangerous enough to justify enormously costly policies to curb it.Lately some evangelicals … [Read more...]
