A picture can be worth a thousand words—especially if it’s deliberately designed to mislead and scare people, because of course so many think “seeing is believing.” That’s why CAGW alarmists are so eager to show us pictures like this of the annual global surface temperature anomaly from 1850 to 2015: That comes from the UK’s […]
Dangerous Global Warming—Now You See It, Now You Don’t Learn More »
An email I received this morning included in its thread one from someone saying this: This morning I got out my little toy telescope and watched Mercury transiting the Sun. The striking fact was not the little black image of Mercury but the total absence of sunspots. I have seen many transits before this one, but

One hardly knows where to begin in assessing the sanity of the recent claim that “climate change” (aka dangerous manmade global warming renamed to hide the fact that far less warming is happening than predicted) could suffocate—yes, suffocate!—sea creatures by reducing ocean oxygen levels. The scary story comes mainly from popular reports. Take, for example,

Tonight at Duke University there will be a panel discussion titled “Climate Change Not a Leap of Faith.” Among the event hosts is the group Young Evangelicals for Climate Action, an offshoot of the Evangelical Environmental Network. They and the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, the Nicholas School of the Environment, and the Kenan

UAH Principal Research Scientist and Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer just posted the monthly UAH satellite temperature update on his blog, and on global average, last month was the warmest March since satellite monitoring began in 1979. Predictably, climate scaremongers are hailing this as proof positive that our evil emissions of evil

Roy Spencer just published an excellent article bursting the “97% consensus” balloon. Here’s an excerpt: The 97 percent number comes from a 2013 paper that was published by John Cook in Environmental Research Letters and that claimed to review about 12,000 published scientific papers on global warming and climate change. Now, for those of us
97% Consensus of Unqualified Scientists Isn’t Worth Much Learn More »
The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment report claims that the rate of sea level rise from 1993 to 2010 was roughly twice that from 1901 to 2010, offering one of the strongest reasons for alarm about anthropogenic global warming. But a major review by Kenneth Richard of recent journal publications on the subject
Is Sea Level Rise Accelerating? A Look at the Evidence Learn More »
It was inevitable that when the current extra-strong El Nino resulted in some anomalously hot months the climate alarmists would declare victory, and, sure enough, when Drs. John Christy and Roy Spencer of University of Alabama Huntsville announced that the satellite global temperature data showed February the hottest month in the satellite record (which goes

That’s the implication of new analysis of NOAA radiosonde (weather balloon) data by Tony Heller at RealClimateScience.com. Heller begins: In their “hottest year ever” press briefing, NOAA included this graph, which stated that they have a 58 year long radiosonde temperature record. But they only showed the last 37 years in the graph. NESDIS Strategic

[Note: This essay was written in the summer of 2010 at the request of Dr. Patrick Michaels, intended for a book he was editing. His publisher declined to include it in the book because of its religious content. It was never published elsewhere until now. We hope it remains a helpful survey of the history
