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 carbon dioxide from evil fossil fuels are driving us inexorably (Slate says we've "just reached a terrifying milestone"!) toward the tipping … [Read more...]
97% Consensus of Unqualified Scientists Isn’t Worth Much
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 who work in climate change research, it is well known that "climate change" is widely assumed to be mostly human-caused, despite the fact that very few … [Read more...]
Did You Want Electricity with Your Fried Eagle?
Let's see now. The controversial Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, financed with $1.5 billion in federal loans, using sunlight reflected from 170,000 mirrors to heat boilers atop 450-foot-high towers, received on average $200 per megawatt-hour during summer months and $135 for the rest of the year but is likely to go bust. Meanwhile, PG&E pays $57 per megawatt-hour for power generated by more conventional solar plants, and $35 per megawatt-hour for power generated by natural gas … [Read more...]
What Made February So Hot?
Anthony Watts reports, "One graph proves that record high year of 2015 and record months of 2016 are not AGW driven." The graph? This one, by Ryan Maue of WeatherBell: Then there's another, from NOAA/NESDIS: Watts writes: "For all those people that want to claim 2015/2016 “proves” that human caused global warming is at work (while at the same time ignoring a record El Niño event as seen above), this graph indisputably proves that the El Niño is the driver of record high … [Read more...]
Is Sea Level Rise Accelerating? A Look at the Evidence
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 finds little to no basis for the claim. Says Richard: According to the IPCC (2013), sea levels rose at a rate of 1.7 mm/year (6.7 inches per century) for the … [Read more...]
A Month or Two Does Not a Long-term Trend Make
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 all the way back to the practically prehistoric year of 1979!), they did. One example among many: Mary Papenfuss's article in … [Read more...]
Forget the Almost-19-Year Global Warming “Pause”? How about 58 Years?
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 Communications Here is why they are hiding the rest of the data. The earlier data showed as much pre-1979 cooling as the post-1979 … [Read more...]
What Good Are Fossil Fuels Other than for Energy?
In the midst of a worldwide “holy crusade” to demonize fossil fuels, blaming them for alleged (but not real) catastrophic global warming, it is increasingly essential that more and more ordinary citizens like you and me understand what’s at stake. The war on fossil fuels threatens not just minor adjustments at the margins of our luxury but enormous reductions in human welfare in developed countries—and the permanent captivity of one-third of humanity in desperate poverty. That’s why we’re … [Read more...]
The Theologization of Global Warming Among American Evangelicals: Who Says Religion and Science Can’t Mix?
[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 of the debate over global warming among evangelicals up to that time.—ECB, March 11, 2016] Introduction In the last half decade there has been a blossoming of public concern about global … [Read more...]
We Pray for A Hurting World
Leaders in developing Nations Heavenly Father, we pray for the Leaders in the developing nations around the world, who are blindly accepting the global warming agenda because of their financial dependence on the west… We pray alike for leaders who are corrupt and deprive the poor in their countries from developmental policies. Persecution of Christians Father, we pray for those who are persecuted for your names sake. Especially those who don’t have access to law and order. And to those … [Read more...]
