2014 as the Mildest Year: Why You Are Being Misled on Global Temperatures, OR: Why I Should Have Been an Engineer Rather than a Climate Scientist

I’ve been inundated with requests this past week to comment on the NOAA and NASA reports that 2014 was the “hottest” year on record. Since I was busy with a Japan space agency meeting in Tokyo, it has been difficult for me to formulate a quick response. Of course, I’ve addressed the “hottest year” claim […]

Global Warming: Powerful New Evidence Surfaces That Contradicts Manmade Claims

On the heels of the Vatican’s announcement that the Pope intends to urge support for an international agreement to fight global warming by reducing human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil-fuel energy use, a new peer-reviewed scientific paper reveals powerful evidence that CO2 emissions contribute far less to global warming than widely thought. The

If a Mountain Gets Cast into the Sea, What Happens?

“Shiver me timbers! Mount Everest, cast into the sea! Every two years! What is this world coming to?!” That’s the kind of panicky response climate alarmists count on when they write headlines like the one in the Washington Post December 3: “This West Antarctic region sheds a Mount Everest-sized amount of ice every two years,

Obama’s “Climate Education and Literacy Initiative”: How Do You Spell “I-N-D-O-C-T-R-I-N-A-T-I-O-N”?

With Obamacare obviously failing to provide promised affordable health care and falling apart in the face of legal challenges and states’ refusal to participate, it’s becoming increasingly clear that President Obama has decided to make ending “climate change” his legacy. “If you believe, like I do, that something has to be done on this, then

Three Great Legacies of Climategate

It’s been five years now since Climategate broke, and three years since Climategate II broke. The disclosures of thousands of emails, computer programs, and other documents from the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia revealed scandalous scientific misconduct of monumental proportions—enough that it has crippled the credibility of an entire field of science (paleoclimatology) and seriously tarnished the

Special Report: Did Global Warming Cause Massive Northeast Snowstorm?

As a boy I lived in Owego, in rural upstate New York just north of the Pennsylvania border about halfway to Ohio, in the late 1950s to mid-1960s. Our locale was more moderate in winter than Buffalo, both in temperature and in snowfall. Nonetheless, it was fairly common to have blizzards that would dump two

Obama Sacrifices American Prosperity on the Altar of Climate Hype

Where was President Barack Obama on Veteran’s Day? Was he honoring the nation’s war dead at Arlington National Cemetery? Encouraging her soldiers in training at one of the military academies? Issuing an executive order to force the Veterans’ Administration to respond promptly and efficiently to the needs of our wounded warriors and their surviving dependents?

Could a melting Antarctica threaten the Sunshine State?

Reuters recently warned us of rising seas based on accelerated melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet. If true, Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico waters could flood Florida’s beaches in as little as a few decades. On the heels of the National Climate Assessment (NCA), White House adviser John Podesta is corralling public support for

Book Review: The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World’s Top Climate Scientists

 Roy Spencer is “taking his case to the public” with this book, which presents his very thorough explanation of why the climate models are wrong, and why the PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillation) is the cause of far more of the temperature pattern seen in the 20th century than rising atmospheric carbon dioxide. The book is
