Shame on Scientific American and E&E News for Lying about John Christy

By /

Scientific American, apparently following the lead of E&E News, headlined its report of Dr. John Christy’s appointment to the federal Environmental Protection Agency “Scientist Who Rejects Warming Is Named to EPA Advisory Board.” The truth—which E&E News and SA undoubtedly know, is that John Christy most certainly doesn’t “reject warming.” He manages the NASA satellite data that are our […]

Has There Been a Dramatic Increase in Ocean Temperatures?

By /

A pastor recently wrote to the Cornwall Alliance, I am currently responding to an online debate over a new report over rising ocean temperatures. The report says that once the raw data is passed through new methods of calibration and bias it shows a dramatic increase in ocean temperatures. I seem to remember that somewhere

Is Global Warming Causing More and Stronger Hurricanes?

By /

The claim is common that global warming is generating more and stronger hurricanes. (And other tropical cyclones. Technically, as Paul Homewood points out, these storms are called hurricanes when they develop over the Atlantic or eastern Pacific Oceans, cyclones when they form over the Bay of Bengal and the northern Indian Ocean, and and typhoons when

Is the Case for Drastic Climate Policy a Case of Misplaced Expertise?

By /

Jonah Goldberg, writing about climate change and climate policy (yes, there really is a difference between the two) in National Review, hit the nail on the head when he said, “expertise doesn’t necessarily transfer over from one field to another.” What he had in mind was the silliness of thinking that climate scientists, because they are

Climate Catastrophism Causes Candidate Catastrophes

By /

Voters were not kind to climate-change campaigners in the midterm elections November 6. Basic summary: The two highest-profile climate initiatives failed. Republicans in Congress’s “Climate Solutions Caucus” suffered defeats: of 43 members, 11 lost (including Republican caucus leader Carlos Curbelo), 3 appear likely to lose in races not yet called, 1 lost in a primary

We’re Waiting for Media’s Corrections on Ocean Warming

By /

Joshua Emerson Smith, a reporter for the San Diego Union-Tribune, has picked it up, and the U-T gave his story prominent placement: “Climate contrarian uncovers scientific error, upends major ocean warming study.” “It” was the revelation, by mathematician Nicolas Lewis, who specializes in statistical analysis related to climate change, that a major paper in Nature, widely considered the
