Climate Consensus? Nonsense!

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

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

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,

Lying with Statistics: “The National Climate Assessment” Falsely Hypes Ice Loss in Greenland and Antarctica

How fast are Greenland and Antarctica losing ice? If you trust the National Climate Assessment (NCA), you’ll think, “Very fast!” And that’s intentional. The aim is to provoke fear so the American public will support the Obama administration’s aim to spend $Trillions fighting global warming. Here’s how the NCA (in Appendix 4, FAQ-L) depicts the

University of Delaware Threatens Cornwall Senior Fellow’s Academic Freedom

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

VIDEO: Senator Sessions Grills EPA Nominee in Confirmation Hearing

One almost feels pity for Janet McCabe under grueling questioning by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL). It’s clear she knows—well, pretty much nothing relevant about the science of climate change. Maybe we shouldn’t expect much scientific knowledge from her, though. She’s not a scientist. (Remember that next time someone tries to silence you on global warming
