Obama’s “Climate Education and Literacy Initiative”: How Do You Spell “I-N-D-O-C-T-R-I-N-A-T-I-O-N”?

by

With Obamacare obviously failing to provide promised affordable health care and falling apart in the face of legal challenges and states’ refusal to participate, it’s becoming increasingly clear that President Obama has decided to make ending “climate change” his legacy. “If you believe, like I do, that something has to be done on this, then you’re going to have to speak out,” Obama told students and faculty at the University of California at Irvine last June. “You’ve got to educate your … [Read more...]

Billionaire Tom Steyer Spends $20 million on Televised Smear Campaigns

by

Originally Published on Townhall.com Tom Steyer is perpetually in the news–promising to raise $100 million to fight climate skeptics in this campaign cycle. Well, he is fighting, but not with $100 million (he’s had trouble finding backers for his super PAC NextGen Climate Action). Tom Steyer has thus far spent $20 million on TV ads that either tell bald-faced lies, or use out-of-context sound bites to present a far from truthful story. In Florida, Politifact.com and Factcheck.com gave … [Read more...]

Climate Consensus? Nonsense!

by

So, someone privately messaged us saying her friend had posted this article, and she (who messaged us) wondered how we'd respond. Okay, we give up. We'll never persuade people like Slate.com's Phil Plait. Not if this article, and this and this typify his thought processes. His failure to dig a little deeper, as any good journalist should (which suggests how few good journalists there are out there!), indicates a mind closed to evidence.But for those of you who aren't closed to evidence, how … [Read more...]

NASA’s Children’s Climate Change Website, and the book 1984: Creating Spies One Child at a Time

by

What would you say if your child accused you of a thought crime, and turned you in to the thought police? Would you say it was ridiculous? Perhaps you would say, “There is no ‘thought crime’ in the United States.” Surely your children would never try to accuse you of a crime or try to change your behavior. Well, think again, because that is exactly what websites like NASA’s Climate Kids intends to do, except they won’t accuse you of thought crime, they will accuse you of a climate crime. This … [Read more...]

University of Delaware Threatens Cornwall Senior Fellow’s Academic Freedom

by

Apparently the law doesn’t apply to everyone equally in Delaware. Climate alarmists get protection; climate skeptics—don’t. When the Competitive Enterprise Institute filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the University of Delaware (UD) for information related to three faculty members who had as part of their employment done work for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, UD Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence White refused on the grounds that the … [Read more...]

Americans’ Fear of Global Warming Declines

by

The American public fears some effects of climate change, but not enough to raise economy-crippling legislation to stop it. Gallup’s most recent poll on the subject shows that on a list of issues Americans consider important, climate change consistently comes in last or close to it. Although 65% believe it is happening, or will happen in their lifetimes, only 36% believe it will affect them significantly. These numbers are down from 2008 highs of 75% and 40%. The Cornwall Alliance has … [Read more...]

What’s Incredible? Learning to Read Science Articles with a Critical Eye

by

Almost every day, we are assaulted with “studies” purporting to have found correlations, connections, links, or ties between causes and effects. In 1998 Dr. Andrew Wakefield claimed that exposure to MMR vaccine causes autism. That assertion still reverberates across Europe and the U.S., but how reliable is Wakefield’s study? What about the claim that increased carbon dioxide emissions are causing and will continue to cause global temperature to rise, wreaking havoc with ecosystems all over … [Read more...]

Science Class? Or Religious Humanist Recruiting Ground?

by

Where is Dr. Mauerbry when we need her? Thirty-seven years ago, in a freshman college course on physical anthropology, the professor required every student to write a term paper on a topic of his choice. I said I’d like to write on scientific evidences against Darwinian, naturalistic evolution. “This is a science course, not a religion course,” she replied. “You can’t do that.” “Who said anything about religion?” I replied. “I want to write about scientific evidences.” She insisted that all … [Read more...]

Theism, Darwinism, and Environmentalism in a Lab Coat: Next Generation Science Standards Coming to YOUR State Soon!

by

Last month the Kansas State Board of Education voted to make Kansas the third state (following Rhode Island and Kentucky) to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The “voluntary” (until adopted by state boards of education) NGSS are the brainchild of Achieve, Inc., a non-profit organization founded in 1996 by various state governors and business leaders and a major promoter of the controversialand expensive new Common Core Standards. The Thomas B. Fordham Institute, an education … [Read more...]
