Oil derivatives and fuel manufactured from oil were the main reasons population rose to 8 billion. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calls the AR6 Climate Change 2021 Report, just released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a “code red for humanity“ that "must sound a death knell for … fossil fuels, before they destroy our planet.” The report fails to acknowledge that the introduction of oil just over 100 years ago has been overwhelmingly beneficial, … [Read more...]
Exposing the Media’s Climate Change Lies and Exaggerations
For 20 years or more, dire warnings about global warming and “climate change” have taken the mass media of entertainment by storm. Every few years, climate change doomsayers have claimed that the world only has 12 years to turn the tide. They said practically the same thing 12 and 15 years ago; however, that they’re saying this year! Many news stories, many news programs and many movies, including many documentaries, have sounded the alarm about global warming and climate change, such as Al … [Read more...]
CLIMATE ALARMISTS CALL FOR GLOBAL ‘ECO-DICTATORSHIP’
Every so often the truth seeps out that significantly reducing global greenhouse gas emissions will require enormous sacrifices, meaning profound losses of welfare on people's part. Bear that in mind when you hear politicians’ promises of “net zero by X date” or “50 or 80 percent carbon dioxide reductions by year X.” In the Western world, the energy cuts and lifestyle changes required to hit net zero will mean going back to early-1800s levels of emissions. This will force enormously negative … [Read more...]
Mainstream Media Ignores Good News, Cries “Wolf” Over Climate Change
On a given morning the individual who happens to subscribe to a local newspaper likely may wake up over coffee greeted by a headline reading “Global Warming (or Climate Change, or Climate Crisis) Is Causing Increasing Deaths,” with latest estimates reaching into the multi-millions. Is this otherwise implausible statement credible? It may seem entirely plausible in the eyes of “the woke” segment of 21st Century US society. Recently the Heartland Institute’s Dr. H. Sterling Burnett examined … [Read more...]
Climate Scientists Admit Exaggerated Warming
Last week, a group of scientists sent shock waves through the climate-science community. They boldly pointed out that current climate models exaggerate greenhouse warming. In other words, they confirmed what climate skeptics have been arguing all along: that most computer climate models forecast unrealistic warming -- warming not observed anywhere in the real world. Could this be a turning point for climate science? Has the hitherto staunch resistance to any kind of scrutiny regarding the … [Read more...]
A Brief History of the Cornwall Alliance—Part 3: A Tree Takes Root
As we saw in Part 2 of this brief history, the Interfaith Council for Environmental Stewardship didn’t work out as originally hoped. But that didn’t mean the Cornwall Declaration would lie dormant forever. David Rothbard and Craig Rucker, whom I introduced in Part 2, kept in touch with me over the next few years, encouraging me to take up afresh the challenge of spreading the principles of the Cornwall Declaration on Environmental Stewardship. At last in the summer of 2005—having finished my … [Read more...]
Alaska’s 2021 salmon harvest sets new records, defying doomsayers again
So Many Salmon By late July, salmon runs and the brown bears that pursue them are winding down at Brooks Falls. So I was skeptical about my daughter’s desire to visit this treasure in Alaska’s Katmai National Park in early August. Until she showed me the live webcam. We secured a last minute flight that did not disappoint. Salmon passing over Brooks Falls make their way up from Bristol Bay, without question the world’s most productive sockeye salmon fishery. At over 65 million sockeye … [Read more...]
Another “Hottest Month on Record” Claim
It's official. Or, at least official enough for NPR to report it with zero reference to contrary data: "July Was The Hottest Month In Recorded Human History"! Now, I've never been quite sure why "recorded human history" should be such a prominent concern. What about before recorded human history? Historical climatology tells us there were times, before historical recording began but while people were going around doing things people do, that were definitely significantly warmer than the … [Read more...]
Does Climate Change Threaten Your Morning Joe? A Guide for Caffeine Aficionados
There are two types of coffee drinkers: casual and extremely particular. Regardless which type you are, you might want to know how climate change impacts coffee production. The media tell us coffee plants are dying because of climate change. Time magazine, for example published an article titled, “Your Morning Cup of Coffee Is in Danger. Can the Industry Adapt in Time?” It quoted Howard Schultz, former chairman and CEO of Starbucks, as putting “climate change” … [Read more...]
New Climate Report Got You Shakin’ in Your Boots?
Every year like clockwork, starting in late July and running through to November, mainstream media around the world start hyping the message: your sinful use of fossil fuels to heat or cool your home, cook your food, power your car or truck, make and market and use your food, clothing, shelter, communications, transportation, health care, and all the other things that keep you alive and healthy will make the world overheat, and then you'll be sorry! And this year, the United Nations' (UN) … [Read more...]
