… until the other comes and examines him.

Has the climate-change controversy reached a milestone? That depends in part on whether President Donald Trump follows through with his desire to appoint a President’s Committee on Climate Security (PCCS) under the National Security Council (NSC).

In Climate Science, Start with the Basics: Physics

Last week in WattsUpwithThat.com I published the article “Did Trump Appoint Jack the Ripper as Guardian of a Girls’ School?” It lampooned, and rebutted, attacks on Princeton physicist Dr. Will Happer and President Donald Trump’s intent for him to head a committee on climate security at the National Security Council.

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

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
