Back in 1984, Richard Lamm, then Democratic Governor of Colorado, gained infamy for having said the terminally ill elderly have “a duty to die and get out of the way.” Such disrespect for age persists among Progressives. Bill Nye “the Science Guy,” a major proponent of global warming alarmism, blames climate skepticism on age. “Climate […]

From recent media reports (e.g. the WaPo’s Capital Weather Gang) you would think that the new RSS satellite dataset for the lower troposphere (LT) has resolved the discrepancy between climate models and observations. But the new LT dataset (Version 4, compared to Version 3.3) didn’t really change in the tropics. This can be seen in the

Cornwall Alliance advisory board member H. Sterling Burnett published a good piece in the Washington Times recently that rebuts claims about “Green jobs” in two ways. Burnett points out that in response to President Donald Trump’s saying one reason to withdraw from the Paris climate accord was that staying in would drive energy prices higher, causing

A tourist asks an Irish old-timer, “How do I get to Dublin?” The old-timer responds, “Well, you can’t get there from here.” That’s what came to my mind when I read Michael Kelly’s brief paper “A Challenge for Renewable Energies,” at the Global Warming Policy Forum. The gist: “In recent years the energy sector has accounted

The leader of the world’s largest democracy met with President Trump this week. Prime Minister Narendra Modi became the first state guest to be hosted for a dinner with President Trump at the White House. Largely ignored by mainstream media, this state visit was of profound significance to the future of a billion people in

For half a century, Middle Eastern countries, many with Islamic fundamentalist regimes that have financed radical jihadi terrorists while oppressing women and persecuting non-Muslims, have dominated the world’s energy markets. More recently, Europe has been hostage to Russia for natural gas, crucial to its energy needs. In the last decade, revolutionary oil and gas drilling

Pure symbolism. That’s what “We Are Still In” really is. “We Are Still In” is the petulant response of 9 states, 8 Blue (CA, CT, HI, NY, OR, RI, VA, WA) and 1 Red (NC), out of 50, 202 cities and counties (mostly in Blue states) out of 3,144 (cities, counties, and county equivalents),

The BBC’s news side is utterly dedicated to spreading global warming alarmism and has even had a policy of refusing to interview fully qualified scientists who question it. But not everyone is on board with that policy in Britain. Two years ago the theatrical version of Yes, Prime Minister created a devastating critique of climate hysteria. Here
Chicken Little never takes a vacation when it comes to environmental scares. A spring without birds, overpopulation, mass famines, resource exhaustion, rainforest destruction, mass extinctions, global cooling, acid rain, ozone depletion, global warming … the list could go on and on. Just on the topic of global warming Chicken Little touts a new alarm pretty

At a lecture at Boston University a few years ago, Freeman Dyson, one of the world’s top physicists, who replaced Albert Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, put very simply one of the most basic arguments against the notion that CO2-driven global warming is likely to be disastrous: In humid air, the
