You’d think so, if you observed the reactions by the climate-change establishment to President Donald Trump’s appointment, back in September, of Will Happer as Senior Director for Emerging Technologies on the National Security Council (NSC), and the prospect of Trump’s forming a Presidential Committee on Climate Security, headed by Happer, under the NSC, to bring the evidence for and against dangerous manmade global warming to the table for review.First example: EcoWatch “reported,” “The White … [Read more...]
Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal wouldn’t slow climate change, but your electricity costs would skyrocket
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal would require Americans to rely on unreliable solar and wind energy that would raise electric bills by several hundred percent for every family and business, hit us with power blackouts and brownouts, worsen poverty and do nothing to slow climate change.Yes, you read that right. Even the drastic, unrealistic and multitrillion-dollar energy schemes in the Green New Deal would have no measureable impact on global … [Read more...]
Will Sea Levels Rise?
There’s a lot of scaremongering by global warming alarmists who want your money and to control your lives.One of the more popular scare stories is that global warming will make sea levels rise to the point that coastal cities will drown and islands disappear. Remember the ridiculous “documentary” by Al Gore? It won an Academy Award. Hollywood always has been better at fiction than fact.Relax. In the next 100 years sea levels probably will rise 7 or 8 inches. Just as they have for hundreds of … [Read more...]
The More Things Change, the More they Stay the Same
My friend David Saulsbury, a chemist, just reminded me of Newsweek's April 28, 1975, article, "The Cooling World," saying, "it is a good exercise to periodically go back and review the end of the earth predictions from the past. The discussion never changes, only the dates and a willingness to exchange cooling to warming to fit the narrative."He then listed a few interesting quotes that one could readily plug into global warming alarmist articles today---only these all were offered in support of … [Read more...]
More Evidence that Deep-State EPA Bureaucrats Aren’t Giving Up
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 2018, … [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...]

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 fossil … [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 signed a … [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...]
