By /

Last fall Politico ran a special feature on global health that featured a graphic presentation of increased incidence of insect-borne diseases in the United States from 2004 to 2013, blaming the increase on global warming. “Warming global temperatures are changing the range and behavior of disease-carrying insects like mosquitos and ticks and extending the seasons in […]

Endless Winter in the Era of Climate Crusade: A Wakeup Call

By /

On every Earth Day coming, attention around the world turns to environmental issues. None is more famous — or infamous — than climate change. The winter of 2017–2018 has stirred debate about global warming. Some say the long, cold winter should quell climate alarmism. Others use it as evidence for extreme manmade warming. Who’s right?

What’s a “Climate Skeptic”?

By /

In his recent article “Four Reasons Alarmists Are Wrong on Climate Change,” Cornwall Alliance Research Associate for Developing Countries Vijay Jayaraj distinguished what, following widespread usage, he called climate-change alarmists, deniers, and skeptics.

Four Reasons Alarmists Are Wrong on Climate Change

By /

Earth Day this year focused officially on the need to reduce plastic litter, a worthy and achievable goal. Nonetheless, much Earth Day activity concentrated on the alleged need to save the planet from climate change.

Earth Day and the Bizarro World of Climate Alarmism

By /

Much of the world celebrated Earth Day last Sunday. No one did it more enthusiastically than global warming alarmists. Global warming alarmists, like their ideological kin Progressives and Leftists, look at the world differently. More conservative types, like yours truly, don’t exactly view reality through rose-colored glasses. I’m no Pollyanna. I concede we occupy a

Congratulations to Jim Bridenstine, New NASA Administrator—It’s about Time!
