A Cornwall Alliance follower on Facebook wrote, I remember hearing someone reputable say once that the known historical record actually shows increases in CO2 after periods of warming, rather than before them. I believe might have been referencing ice core records among others. I found him persuasive, and if this is true, it seems it would be an important hurdle for climate change alarmists to get over. Agree/disagree, insight? Climatologist Dr. David Legates, a Cornwall Alliance Senior … [Read more...]
Pennsylvania Climate Action Plan – Crippling costs for no benefit
On April 29, 2019, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf released the latest version of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Climate Action Plan, announcing that Pennsylvania would join the U.S. Climate Alliance, a coalition of 24 states committed to implementing policies that support the Paris Agreement — an international collaboration from which the U.S. has withdrawn. According to the governor, “states like Pennsylvania must take action to reduce greenhouse gas … [Read more...]
Why Does Global Warming Happen at the Poles though Few People Live There?
Some people wonder, "Why is global warming happening down/up there at the poles if it is because of man? There aren't too many of people living there to cause any problem." Good, common-sense question. But there’s actually a solid answer to it that suits both alarmists and skeptics about anthropogenic global warming. Local anthropogenic warming, usually called “urban heat island effect” (UHI), is the localized warming stemming from increased absorption of incoming solar energy by … [Read more...]
California Democrats Fail to Denounce the Egregious Proliferation of Child Labor in the EV supply chain
In an April 23rd Press Release, California Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, announced that her Assembly Bill 735, at which this writer testified in favor of on April 22nd, the Air Quality Improvement Program: Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, which stops the use of child labor in the supply chains of electric vehicles, failed in the Assembly Transportation Committee. Capitol Democrats are placing the burdens of reaching environmental goals using electric vehicles on the backs of … [Read more...]
The World’s Gone Mad
I have little but respect and admiration for Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swede who has launched a worldwide movement of students on strike from school to protest anthropogenic climate change. I think she's mistaken, and I'm inclined to agree with British climate scientist Piers Corbyn that she's being manipulated, but she seems sincere in her beliefs, and she's acting on them. Lots of adults could take that lesson from her. But, despite her having been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, … [Read more...]
Does Overproduction of CO2 Harm the Environment?
Recently someone wrote this to the Cornwall Alliance: I saw the following comment recently posted online in regard to a climate change column & I'd like to respond to him thoughtfully & intelligently: "CO2 when overproduced acts as a pollutant which our environment can not properly use to make oxygen. It acts as a thermal blanket which raises the temperature steadily. This also harms the oceanic life which plays a key role in converting the CO2." He mentions 3 'facts' … [Read more...]
Are Climate Alarmists Waking Up to Their Hypocrisy? London Mayor Calls Out Protestors
During the Easter weekend, London Mayor Sadiq Khan made a surprise plea to climate protestors. He asked them to end their protests, which he said caused disorder problem in the world’s iconic city. It is not common for a pro-alarmist leader to call for an end to a climate protest. Are more diplomats and leaders waking up to the insanity of climate protests across the globe? Will we see more politicians and celebrities expose the rampant hypocrisy in the climate alarmist movement? Climate … [Read more...]
Nuclear Conflict and Political Scandal Eclipse Climate Change as Existential Threat
Despite their incessant drumbeat about global warming, mainstream media knows climate doomsday is not imminent and are probably uncomfortable when doomsayers like Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) say, “The world will end in 12 years” unless we do something, drastic, now. But they are well aware that political catastrophes could cause much greater harm to humanity—not in the far distant future, but within months, weeks, or even a single day. That’s why climate change and the … [Read more...]
Ocasio-Cortez’s Climatology Lacks Historical Context
When Sam Cooke sang “Don’t know much about history” in 1960 he could not have had U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in mind, but only because she lives a half century later. Whatever Ocasio-Cortez got from history classes during her time at Boston University, it wasn’t an appreciation of historical context because it is sorely lacking in her assertions about climate and its effect on humankind. She and others promoting the Green New Dealhave the facts exactly backwards when … [Read more...]
Hey, Americans, Save Your Birds!
Dear Americans, I love nature. I’m writing this from the lush forests of India. But I want to call your attention to something going on in your own country—something that should shock and outrage you. It’s the needless deaths of millions of birds every year. I grew up among the beautiful peacocks and pretty little sparrows in the beautiful forest regions of southern India. Those and many other birds were not just pretty things I enjoyed watching. I was concerned by the many challenges … [Read more...]
