Earlier today I blogged on an article at Daily Caller about Dr. William Happer's resignation from the National Security Council. I pointed out that climate models simulate much more warming than actually observed over the relevant period. Someone responded, "Complete and utter bull^*@%. The modeling is accurate." Ignore the vulgarity's telltale sign that this wasn't by someone with a particularly scientific mindset. Is he correct in saying, "The modeling is accurate"? One needn't … [Read more...]
Daily Caller toes climate alarmist line on Happer resignation
The resignation of Dr. Will Happer, Emeritus Professor of Physics at Princeton and one of America's finest physicists, from the National Security Council (NSC) is an important event. It is a sign of just how difficult it is to overcome the "deep state's" stranglehold on government policy, despite the fact that President Donald Trump is at the helm. Happer was tapped for the NSC with the expectation that he would head a Presidential Council on Climate Security (PCCS), one function of which … [Read more...]
Evidence of Media Bias about Climate Change Part 6: Greta Thunberg’s Sailboat Trip
This is the sixth and last in a series by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. (Meteorology), Principal Research Scientist, University of Alabama at Huntsville, exposing media bias in reporting about climate change. The new spokesperson for the world’s youth regarding concerns over global warming is 16-year-old Swede Greta Thunberg. Greta is travelling across the Atlantic on what CNN describes as a “zero-emissions yacht” to attend the UN Climate Action Summit on September 23 … [Read more...]
Time to Eat Uncle Jim to Protect the Climate?
How far will people go to fight climate change? You might have thought you'd seen the limits. Think again. Banning fossil fuels and prescribing "renewable energy" is so last century. Urging vegetarianism or veganism is so last decade. Pushing for population control is so last year. Embracing abortion is so yesterday. If you really want to be cutting edge, you need to think about family. As in, your uncle Jim and cousin Mary. As in, eating them after they die. That, after all, would … [Read more...]
Climate Warriors Ironically Caught in Arctic Sea Ice
Their aim was to capture film footage for use in a documentary about "climate change" (which, remember, is code for "dangerous to catastrophic manmade global warming). That was what 16 people identified as "Climate Change Warriors" were doing aboard the Arctic Tours ship MS Malmo when, on September 3, the ship got caught in Arctic sea ice that neither passengers nor crew anticipated. The incident occurred off Longyearbyen, Svalbard Archipelago, halfway between Norway (which owns the … [Read more...]
Evidence of Media Bias about Climate Change Part 5: Al Gore and Bill Nye’s Global Warming in a Jar Experiment
This is the fifth in a series by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. (Meteorology), Principal Research Scientist, University of Alabama at Huntsville, exposing media bias in reporting about climate change. This first appeared as part of a longer article by Dr. Spencer on his blog. This is one of my favorites. As part of Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, Bill Nye produced a Climate 101 video of an experiment where two glass jars with thermometers in them … [Read more...]
Evidence of Media Bias about Climate Change Part 4: Bait and Switch: Models replacing observations
This is the fourth in a series by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. (Meteorology), Principal Research Scientist, University of Alabama at Huntsville, exposing media bias in reporting about climate change. This first appeared as part of a longer article by Dr. Spencer on his blog. There is an increasing trend toward passing off climate model projections as actual observations in news reports. This came up just a few days ago when I was alerted to a news story that claimed … [Read more...]
Evidence of Media Bias about Climate Change Part 3: July 2019 was the Hottest Month on Record
This is the third in a series by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. (Meteorology), Principal Research Scientist, University of Alabama at Huntsville, exposing media bias in reporting about climate change. This first appeared as part of a longer article by Dr. Spencer on his blog. The yearly, area-averaged surface temperature of the Earth is about 60 deg. F. It has been slowly and irregularly rising in recent decades at a rate of about 0.3 or 0.4 deg. F per decade. So, … [Read more...]
Evidence of Media Bias about Climate Change Part 2: Greenland is Rapidly Melting
This is the second in a series by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. (Meteorology), Principal Research Scientist, University of Alabama at Huntsville, exposing media bias in reporting about climate change. This first appeared as part of a longer article by Dr. Spencer on his blog. The Greenland ice sheet gains new snow every year, and gravity causes the sheet to slowly flow to the sea where ice is lost by calving of icebergs. How much ice resides in the sheet at any given … [Read more...]

This is the first in a series by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. (Meteorology), Principal Research Scientist, University of Alabama at Huntsville, exposing media bias in reporting about climate change. This first appeared as part of a longer article by Dr. Spencer on his blog. A few days ago, The Guardian announced Large swathes of the Amazon rainforest are burning. I don’t know how this has suddenly entered the public’s consciousness, but for those of us … [Read more...]
