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 EPA’s CO2 regulations that will increase everybody’s electric rates without significantly reducing future temperatures. A pillar in his argument is CO2’s alleged role in … [Read more...]
NY Climate Conference? Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That!
Read the news. The. World. Is. A. Disaster. But, according to President Obama, “the world’s always been messy … we’re just noticing now in part because of social media.” #what? I guess, since Facebook and Twitter weren’t around, the folks who lived through World War I, World War II, and the Cold War never noticed those messy events. Be that as it may, even with all of the “messes” going on in the world, many leaders are taking a day to catch up in New York City at the UN Climate Summit, … [Read more...]
Is Fighting Global Warming a “Pro-Life” Issue and Necessary to Shield Florida from “Extreme Weather”? No, Says Former National Hurricane Center Director Neil Frank
Alerted that the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) had launched a campaign to pressure Florida Governor Rick Scott to take steps to combat global warming in order to protect Florida from extreme weather, calling it a “pro-life” issue, former National Hurricane Center Director Dr. Neil Frank, a pro-life evangelical himself, sent off a highly critical letter of his own on August 3, a copy of which he sent to the Cornwall Alliance. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” Frank said of … [Read more...]
Conservative Evangelicals Supporting EPA’s CO2 Rule? Nothing Here But Dog Bites Man
Originally Published at Townhall.com Mystified by all the news lately that “conservative, evangelical Christians” have suddenly become very worried about climate change when none of your conservative, evangelical Christian friends have done so? Perplexed by reports that “conservative, evangelical Christians” spoke out in favor of the federal EPA’s new proposed rule requiring 30% cuts in CO2emissions from power plants by 2030? There’s a pretty easy explanation, the old newspaper editor’s rule … [Read more...]
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 written for the layman, which just about triples its length. Of course, a scientist need not read all that. Spencer gives a few elementary explanations about water heating on a … [Read more...]

Cornwall on the Road: Heartland’s ICCC-9 and FreedomFest

Senior Fellow Dr. Roy Spencer, Principal Research Scientist in Climatology for the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer on NASA’s Aqua Satellite, spoke in a breakout session on “Climate Change and the … [Read more...]
Climate Consensus? Nonsense!
So, someone privately messaged us saying her friend had posted this article, and she (who messaged us) wondered how we'd respond. Okay, we give up. We'll never persuade people like Slate.com's Phil Plait. Not if this article, and this and this typify his thought processes. His failure to dig a little deeper, as any good journalist should (which suggests how few good journalists there are out there!), indicates a mind closed to evidence.But for those of you who aren't closed to evidence, how … [Read more...]
Lying with Statistics: “The National Climate Assessment” Falsely Hypes Ice Loss in Greenland and Antarctica
How fast are Greenland and Antarctica losing ice? If you trust the National Climate Assessment (NCA), you’ll think, “Very fast!” And that’s intentional. The aim is to provoke fear so the American public will support the Obama administration’s aim to spend $Trillions fighting global warming. Here’s how the NCA (in Appendix 4, FAQ-L) depicts the rate of loss from the ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica: Pretty steep declines, right? Downright scary. But if there’s any way to depict … [Read more...]
