Just in case you wondered whether deep-state bureaucrats at the federal Environmental Protection Agency had finally been brought under control, accountable to the people through their elected President and the EPA Administrator he appoints and the Senate that confirms the appointment, the answer is "No." Cause of Action Institute announced yesterday that it has discovered that, despite the fact that "the EPA informed the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) that as of June … [Read more...]
California’s High-speed Rail Won’t Solve Climate Change—or Move Many People, Either
One of the greatest absurdities of the so-called Green New Deal proposed then backed away from by socialist-inclined Democrats, is the idea that the nation’s transportation needs can be met by building high-speed rail everywhere – and getting rid of cars and airplanes. This utopian nonsense supposedly is rooted in a desire to “do something about climate change,” which has become code for destroying civilization’s affluence, seizing control over you and your money and enriching crony … [Read more...]
Is Apple Censoring Gregory Wrightstone’s Climate-Change App? Join the Discussion!
Dear Friends, We love to hear from you! Whether by email, phone, or good old-fashioned letter, we’re always interested in what you think. In fact, last week I received a letter from a supporter—a World War II hero—that was so good we posted it on our blog—you can read it by clicking here. And a couple of weeks ago we launched a new way to hear from you: periodic conference phone calls. We did two then, and on March 21, at 1:00 pm Eastern Time, we’ll do another. We’d love to have you … [Read more...]
No Deal at All
When Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey rolled out their Green New Deal (GND) in February, they put flesh on the bones of a policy that formerly was only a pie-in-the-sky proposal promoted by the Green Party. This Green Party proposal was a wish list from an expansionist government agenda floated by Democrat Socialists and the far-left wing of the Democrat Party over the last twenty or so years. The Green Party proposal went beyond replacing … [Read more...]
What’s Wrong with a Carbon Tax?
The old joke is that if you put all the world’s economists end to end they still wouldn’t reach a conclusion. That’s another way of saying that economists routinely disagree with each other—often completely. Nonetheless, much of the public and many journalists treat a recommendation from a group of economists like the word from Mt. Sinai—as long as they agree with it. That kind of response was widespread when, as the Wall Street Journal recently reported, a group of economists … [Read more...]
It’s Not about the Climate—It Never Was
Generally, I conclude most of my climate change presentations with the phrase, “It’s not about the climate; it never was.” Here, I would like to start with that statement. In this brief article, I will discuss why carbon dioxide isn’t the dangerous gas it is made out to be, why climate change is not an ‘existential’ threat to the planet, and why the Green New Deal is not a solution to climate change. Let me begin with a series of questions. Is our climate changing? The answer is clearly … [Read more...]
CO2, Early Blossoms, the Sun, and Climate Change
Sometimes laymen find better ways to communicate things than experts. Example? Wilhelm Peterson and I first got acquainted when he wrote me a letter some years ago, enclosing a donation to the Cornwall Alliance, and I noticed under his signature that in World War II he had piloted P-51 fighter planes based on Iwo Jima, escorting B-29 bombers on raids. Nothing prominent there, just a quiet, simple fact. My heart pounded as I realized I had just read a letter from a hero, a man who had … [Read more...]
Shutdown, Snowfall, and the Deep Freeze: Truth in a World of Climate Lies
In the midst of America’s recent government shutdown, a number of politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Al Gore, and John Kerry made extraordinary claims about the coming climate doomsday. Citing a recent climate report from the United Nations, they all made calls to save the Earth from climate doomsday. Less than a week later, much of America’s upper Midwest and Chicago face the likelihood of all-time record lows, with life-threatening wind chills of minus 45 to minus 60 degrees … [Read more...]
Emergence of the Coal Alliance
A year ago, no one could have predicted the emergence of a coal alliance. Not when the leader of the most powerful country—President Obama—was crusading against coal. One year later, the coal alliance has arrived! During his presidential run, Donald Trump pledged that the US would pull out of the Paris Agreement—the poster child agreement of the climate alarmists who advocate for the shutdown of coal plants. Trump also indicated that he would bring major reforms in national policies … [Read more...]
The Uninhabited Mind of David Wallace-Wells
David Wallace-Wells shook up a lot of people with a "horrifying 2017 essay in New York magazine about climate change. It was an attempt to paint a very real picture of our not-too-distant future, a future filled with famines, political chaos, economic collapse, fierce resource competition, and a sun that 'cooks us.'" Now he's got a book out that builds on that article, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life after Warming, which Vox describes as "a brutal read," "more terrifying" than the "terrifying … [Read more...]
