It seems that no one can ever do quite enough to satisfy the demands of professional complainers. Not even Elon Musk, a world-famous promoter of electric vehicles. He was met rudely by protesters at the grand opening of his Tesla assembly plant, just outside Berlin, during recent ceremonies: "...it [the plant] has faced opposition and some environmental activists blocked the factory’s entrance while displaying banners flagging its high water use…”All said and done, it should … [Read more...]

Jordan Peterson Knows Psychology, Including ‘Global Warming’ Groupthink
Five days before the recent snowstorm rocked the Mid-Atlantic region, the ECMWF weather model had forecast more than 30 inches for portions of Delaware, coastal Maryland, and southern New Jersey. The model had overestimated snowfall by up to a factor of three.My criticism of the model will likely not anger many in the political arena. Why not? Because, as we are often told, weather is not climate. Weather is very difficult to forecast because it is highly variable, and weather models can … [Read more...]
Cornwall Alliance Scholar Demonetized by Google
DrRoySpencer.com has been demonetized by Google for “unreliable and harmful claims.” This means I can no longer generate revenue to support the website using the Google Adsense program.From a monetary standpoint, it’s not a big deal because what I make off of Google ads is in the noise level of my family’s monthly budget. It barely made more than I pay in hosting fees and an (increasingly expensive) comment spam screener.I’ve been getting Google warnings for a couple of months now about “policy … [Read more...]
High Energy Costs the Christmas Gift of ‘Green’ Politicians
The coming cold of winter is being paired with “green-inspired” energy policies that have created higher energy prices and fuel shortages.Historically, winters have been big killers. But centuries of innovation made us more resilient to the cold as we fully utilized the naturally available fossil fuels to generate heat and electricity. However, these modern advantages are being sacrificed at the altar of climate change in exchange for the purported magic of wind, solar, and batteries.Though the … [Read more...]
Were Devastating Kentucky Tornadoes Related to Climate Change?
The heart-wrenching devastation in Kentucky and surrounding regions due to several tornadoes has caught everyone’s attention. Fortunately, meteorologists have been increasingly capable of issuing tornado warnings and have greatly reduced tornado-related death tolls.But despite adequate warning, one tornado took direct aim on Mayfield, Kentucky, causing buildings to collapse and a horrible death toll.The USA experiences more tornadoes than elsewhere, suffering, on average, over 1100 tornados a … [Read more...]
The Facts: Reporters Exploit Normal Weather to Fan Climate Fear
Exaggeration of weather events to sell climate crisis is not something new. In the case of a Sky News’ account of flooding in one Indian city, my own observations — backed up by independent data — are contrary to the report. Chennai — my home state’s capital, formerly known as Madras — is prone to floods, whose severity I’ve personally witnessed. In fact, the last time Chennai flooded, I narrowly escaped by fleeing the city at … [Read more...]
Western Arrogance—The Essence of COP26
I woke up this morning and learned that the United Nations has gone full existential, and African countries should be deeply offended. I wrote an piece that I’ll share with you called Western Arrogance, but even I didn’t appreciate just how arrogant the west truly is.This is disgusting and wrong. To use imagery of Africans in poverty to then suggest that signing up for climate goals will better their lives is nothing short of Malthusian. As Dr. Scott Tinker teaches, energy doesn’t end poverty, … [Read more...]
Lethal Carbon-Imperialism in Glasgow and DC
Climate alarmists intend to keep poor nations energy-deprived, impoverished, jobless, dyingDays before the twenty-sixth Conference of Parties in Glasgow, Scotland. Pope Francis and President Biden met in Rome to discuss “efforts grounded in respect for fundamental human dignity,” including “tackling the climate crisis and caring for the poor.” They should have read Climate Change: The Facts 2017 before they met, especially my chapter critiquing His Holiness’s energy and climate “ethics.” A key … [Read more...]
Global Warming Alarmism Threatens Era of Energy Poverty
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call for aggressive action against a so-called climate crisis at the United Nations presages similar statements that surely will be made by the dangerously misinformed in the coming months and augurs disastrous energy policy.Humanity has to “grow up” and tackle climate change, the prime minister told world leaders assembled in New York, predicting catastrophe if warnings are ignored.“We will see desertification, drought, crop failure, and mass … [Read more...]
