[Editor's note: Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley, a British journalist and polymath who has been at the forefront of arguments against catastrophic anthropogenic global warming, prepared this document for submission as a brief to U.S. District Judge William Alsup in a case brought by San Francisco and Oakland against five major oil companies that seeks to hold the companies liable for damages from warming caused by the use of their products. It was first published at … [Read more...]
The Hazards of Lending Books on Climate Change
Today my good friend Dr. Tom Sheahen, a physicist and head of the Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology (ITEST), wrote to say, Already this morning a friend sent me the "Patriot Post" rendition of your article ["Senator Whitehouse, Your New Wardrobe Is Ready"] that quotes me at length. Thank you very much. The "sackcloth and ashes" wardrobe line was really clever. I didn't see that coming at all. I just wish some members of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church would … [Read more...]
Because Joe Bastardi Says It So Well
Joe Bastardi's The Climate Chronicles: Inconvenient Revelations You Won't Hear from Al Gore---And Others is simply a delightfully fun book to read. It's also well reasoned. Here's an example of clarity and cogency: ... in the weaponization of weather, there are three factors that enable this tactic [of blaming all new weather extremes on anthropogenic global warming] to be used: The people pushing this believe they are heroic revolutionaries. They have set themselves up as the underdog, … [Read more...]
Why You MUST Read Joe Bastardi’s The Climate Chronicles
The 38th through 41st chapters of the Book of Job are among the most majestic, awe-inspiring passages in all literature, inside and outside the Bible. I cannot read them and not feel small, humbled by the omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience of God. They record questions God hurls rapid-fire, “out of the whirlwind,” at Job to impress on him his utter inability to control or even to explain the day-to-day events of the world. Here are a few, from Job 38:4–20: Where were you when I laid … [Read more...]
Nuclear Engineer Reveals “Climate Consensus” as Anti-Scientific
Over at the American Nuclear Society's ANS Cafe blog, ANS Fellow and Adjunct Professor of Nuclear Engineering Dr. Ruth Weiner exposes the anti-scientific character of appealing to consensus to push climate alarmism: Scientific thought progresses as a result of skepticism about a consensus rather than by invocation of that consensus. The fallacy of the 97 percent is not that it was the wrong number or that the subject group was improperly identified, but that the phenomenon – that atmospheric … [Read more...]
Global Average Temperature Plummets! Tropical Temperature Fall Third-Biggest on Record!
Forgive the headline. We're mimicking the behavior of global warming alarmists. If we used their tactics, we'd proclaim this a major victory for climate realists. In reality, both a one-month drop of 0.15 deg. C in global temperature and a one-month drop of 0.38 deg. C in tropical temperature are stastically insignificant to long-term global temperature trends, even though the latter is indeed the third-biggest in the (satellite) record (which goes back a whole 39 years!). What is significant … [Read more...]
Why Is 2017’s “Third Warmest on Record” a Yawner?
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) press release headline January 18 was blunt: “NOAA: 2017 was 3rd warmest year on record for the globe.” The tagline that followed made the inference obligatory for all climate alarmists: “NOAA, NASA scientists confirm Earth’s long-term warming trend continues” (emphasis added). The New York Times trumpeted, “2017 Was One of the Hottest Years on Record,” adding, “Scientists at NASA on Thursday ranked last year as the second-warmest … [Read more...]
Can You Really Have Fun Debating Climate Change?
"Unsafe Space," dedicated to discussing serious issues in comedic fashion, did everyone a real service on January 22. It posted a panel discussion on climate change featuring scientists Jon Christensen (defending the alarmist view) and Willie Soon (defending the skeptics' view). It's a good discussion with plenty of give-and-take and at least a modicum of mutual respect. An abbreviated version in video is on YouTube, while the full version, audio only, is on Unsafe Space's own site (where … [Read more...]
None so blind as them that will not see
It seems nothing short of miraculous how global warming alarmists can always come up with ways to stick with their hypothesis in the face of so much contrary evidence. Case in point: The BBC ran a story on Russia that claimed that reindeer populations across northern Russia were "in steep decline because of climate change." The Global Warming Policy Foundation's Lord Nigel Lawson corrected that by pointing out that 17 out of 19 subpopulations are growing, not shrinking. The BBC's … [Read more...]
Larry Bell takes NY Times reporter to the woodshed for taking President Trump to the woodshed
Kendra Pierre-Louis will rue the day when she took it on herself to teach President Donald Trump the difference between climate and weather. So will the New York Times, the newspaper in which she did it. Why? Because she was right. And that meant she and the Times were wrong. Larry Bell took her to the woodshed in the first few paragraphs of his latest column: President Trump’s December 28 tweet connecting an upcoming "Coldest New Year’s Eve on record" with not paying "trillions … [Read more...]
