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 unfold, […]
In addition to economic growth, should improving the climate be an important goal of government policy? The Global Commission on the Economy and Climate offers ten recommendations designed to help countries of all income levels achieve these two goals. Their first recommendation is that cities “commit to developing and implementing low-carbon urban development strategies by

As “everybody knows”—hey, even President Obama lectured us on the fact!—97% of all scientists agree: global warming is real and dangerous, and we must take drastic steps to stop it. The “researcher” behind that claim is University of Western Australia psychology postgraduate John Cook, whose “study” has been torn to shreds for bad data handling,

Speaking to a gathering of mayors from around the world at the Vatican July 21, Pope Francis urged action to reduce global warming, saying he particularly hopes the UN climate summit later this year will address how it “affects the trafficking of people.” Problem #1: Human-induced climate change has not affected the trafficking of people,

Terry Scanlon of the Capital Research Center leads his latest email this way: When you gas your car with 10% ethanol, you’re dragged into the Renewable Fuel Standard morass run by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). This environmentalist policy is so terrible, even the greens have turned against it. But as a government program, it’s

Climate alarmists the world over heaved a sigh of relief a little over a month ago when a team of NOAA scientists led by Tom Karl published a piece in Science purporting to disprove “the pause” in global warming. The sigh was short lived, though, since quite a few able critiques of Karl et al. 2015

First they came after your toilets. Then they came after your light bulbs. Now they’re after your dishwasher. Federal regulators never rest, do they? It’s not enough that they mandated that toilets use so little water per flush that it often takes two, three, or more flushes to get rid of—well, you know. It’s not

The essence of science is testing predictions by comparison with real-world observations. Al Gore and the IPCC have been saying for years that human emissions of CO2 would cause global warming at a rate of 3C per century. But IPCC’s forecasts violated 72 out of 89 relevant principles of scientific forecasting. In 2007, Scott Armstrong,
Folks like those who stage events like the “Walk Against Warming” illustrated above think fighting climate change is a high priority. President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry say climate change is the greatest threat facing the world. But United Nations-sponsored worldwide polling suggests that how people answer the question, “How high a priority is

Richard Keen, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Science, University of Colorado, Boulder, put it bluntly in a recent personal communication: Climate Science has degenerated into a league of collaborators who suppress evidence, stifle dissent, censor unwelcome facts, and control the funding purse strings, all in the name of “settled science.” In a way, the science
