One of the most hotly debated questions about modern global warming (roughly 1960–present) is how much credit (or blame) for it goes to the Sun, and how much to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The U.N Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and “mainstream” climate scientists tend to discount the former and pin all or […]

Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power opened in theaters last weekend. The documentary by the world’s most famous spokesman for climate Armageddon, in a world in which Pew Research Center says people consider climate change tied with the Islamic State as the greatest threat to their nations, had a mixed performance at the box office.

Back in 1984, Richard Lamm, then Democratic Governor of Colorado, gained infamy for having said the terminally ill elderly have “a duty to die and get out of the way.” Such disrespect for age persists among Progressives. Bill Nye “the Science Guy,” a major proponent of global warming alarmism, blames climate skepticism on age. “Climate

Chicken Little never takes a vacation when it comes to environmental scares. A spring without birds, overpopulation, mass famines, resource exhaustion, rainforest destruction, mass extinctions, global cooling, acid rain, ozone depletion, global warming … the list could go on and on. Just on the topic of global warming Chicken Little touts a new alarm pretty

At a lecture at Boston University a few years ago, Freeman Dyson, one of the world’s top physicists, who replaced Albert Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, put very simply one of the most basic arguments against the notion that CO2-driven global warming is likely to be disastrous: In humid air, the

The climate alarmist crowd never tires of insisting that anthropogenic additions to atmospheric carbon dioxide—up by 45 percent, from 280 to about 407 parts per million, since before the Industrial Revolution—are driving historically unprecedented and likely-to-become catastrophic global warming, and that they’re exacerbated by increases in atmospheric methane (CH4) driven by the rising temperature, making

In his 1968 book The Population Bomb Paul Ehrlich predicted mass famines in America and lots of other countries around the world before 1980, and that we would run out of lots of minerals by then, too. His predictions turned out false. He remains the idol of environmentalists worldwide. In 2007 Al Gore predicted, ““The North Polar

Recently Rev. Mitchell Hescox, CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network, wrote an email to a pastor, who forwarded it to us. It’s a prime example of the fallacious (and worse) discourse climate alarmists often use. Here’s what Hescox wrote: I pray you will reconsider your stance on climate change. It is apparent, you have been

Scant evidence of expected benefit means Scott Pruitt is right Washington Times, Monday, April 17, 2017 Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt appeared on “Fox & Friends” April 13 and said, “Paris is something we really need to look at closely, because it’s something we need to exit, in my opinion.” Why? “It’s a bad

Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer’s monthly graph of global lower atmosphere temperature anomaly for March 2017 shows we’re still cooling from the super-El Nino that so warmed 2016. Track your eye straight left from the farthest-right point and you’ll see that there’s little change from the anomalies of roughly 2001–2006, and of course
