NOAA’s Homogenized Temperature Records: A Statistical House of Cards?

By /

Guest column by Charles Rotter For years, climate scientists have assured us that NOAA’s homogenized temperature datasets—particularly the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN)—are the gold standard for tracking global warming. But what if the “corrections” applied to these datasets are introducing more noise than the signal? A recent study published in Atmosphere has uncovered shocking […]

Hey, EPA, Why Not Regulate Water Vapor Emissions While You Are At It?

By /

Some Background I will admit that the legal profession mystifies me. Every time I say anything related to environmental law, one or more lawyers will correct me. But I suppose “turnabout is fair play”, since I will usually correct any lawyers about their details describing climate change science. Lawyers aren’t like us normal people. Their

Budget-Busting Climate Provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act Must Go

By /

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden on August 16, 2022. The bill was badly mistitled and intentionally so. The Biden administration and Democrats in Congress took advantage of Americans’ desire for a response to high and rising prices for food, fuel, and other basic consumer goods.

False Pretense of Energy Transition: Long on Facts, Short on Truth

By /

While listing many of the barriers to abandoning fossil fuels for “green” energy, three writers in Foreign Affairs magazine skip over an important truth: The once ballyhooed but now moribund “energy transition” was and remains unnecessary and undesirable. Instead, the article’s title, “The Troubled Energy Transition: How to Find a Pragmatic Path Forward,” suggests (1)
