I’m grateful to James Taylor, Joe Bast, and the Heartland Institute for asking me to speak. My remarks today in part abridge, condense, and supplement what the Cornwall Alliance has said in a 76-page interdisciplinary research paper we published last

“Climate Change and the Death of Science” is the most important article we’ve linked to in quite a long time. If you have time to read nothing else from this issue, read this. It’s worth every minute it will take. As Climategate and other transgressions of fundamental scientific procedure by global warming alarmists continue to
It’s been two months now since Climategate broke. The disclosure of thousands of emails, computer programs, and other documents from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in the UK revealed scandalous scientific misconduct of monumental proportions–enough that it has crippled the credibility of an entire field of science (paleoclimatology) and seriously tarnished

With all of the pending disasters blamed on global warming blasting their way through the media, I can understand why many might fear the future climate. We are told emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), are destroying not only polar bears and petunias, but the planet as a whole. If we don’t “stop

These records have been revised a number of times, and I examined the two major revisions of these three records. They are the surface record from the

A year-old article in Idõjárás: Quarterly Journal of the Hungarian Meteorological Service is suddenly getting attention in the meteorological community. And it deserves it. By Hungarian meteorologist Ferenc M. Miskolczi, the peer-reviewed article uses rigorous mathematical and physical analysis to re-estimate climate sensitivity–that is, the amount of warming to be expected from doubled atmospheric concentration

Increasing numbers of scientists are predicting that a quieting Sun will lead to global cooling here on Earth. Here is a fairly typical picture of the Sun, courtesy of the University of Wisconsin, showing lots of sunspots, on March 29, 2001: Here’s a more recent image, courtesy of NASA, for March 24, 2008: You can
