EN: Dr. Roy Spencer serves thoughtfully on the Cornwall Alliance Board. What follows is a response to Gavin Schmidt’s blog post at RealClimate.org entitled Spencer’s Shenanigans in which he takes issue with my claims in Global Warming: Observations vs. Climate Models.

Why Not to Worry about Farming’s Contribution to Global Warming
For decades the primary way environmentalists concerned about manmade global warming have advocated to slow it has been to reduce human emissions of the “greenhouse gas” carbon dioxide (mainly from burning coal, oil, and natural gas for energy). Lately they have focused increasingly on contributions from two other “greenhouse gases,” primarily from agriculture—methane (CH4) from livestock flatulence, and nitrous oxide (N2O) from chemical fertilizers.Why? Because CH4’s forcing effect (the amount … [Read more...]
Mr. Bean Was Right – and So Was Toyota
When auto (even EV driving) enthusiast Rowan Atkinson – Mr. Bean to his fans – last June wrote in The Guardian that there are “sound environmental reasons” why “keeping your old petrol car may be better than buying an EV,” he was vilified as a eco-traitor.Atkinson had added, “We’re realizing that a wider range of options need to be explored if we’re going to properly address the very serious environmental problems that our use of the motor car has created.” These include, he said, hydrogen fuel … [Read more...]
Coal’s Life-Saving Role Ignored by Climate-Obsessed Media

Why Young Evangelicals Are in Danger of Becoming Puppets for Climate Marxism
The following is a guest article by Jason Mattera.The phrase “useful idiot” referred to those individuals during the Cold War who unwittingly disseminated communist propaganda (American liberals), even if they weren’t commies themselves.Naïfs, in other words. Major-league naïfs.Today, there appears to be a growing number of young evangelicals who are intent on proving this catchphrase true — locking arms with a worldwide movement devoted to the eradication of private property, limited … [Read more...]
What I Told the EPA About its Illegal De Facto Electric Vehicle Mandates
The following is a guest article by Marlo Lewis Jr.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashRecently, I submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on its proposed greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards for model years (MYs) 2027-2032 passenger cars, light trucks, and medium-duty trucks. The proposed standards are the latest phase of a longstanding unlawful agenda of market-rigging interventions. They should be withdrawn.My comments develop the following points:Marlo Lewis, Jr. … [Read more...]

Why the Sudden Attack on Gas Stoves?
No doubt you have heard the discussion that gas stoves are evil … because they lead to childhood asthma. I am not talking about “gasoline” stoves—and I do not recommend you cook with gasoline—but gas stoves that run on natural gas. You might have one of these “anti-children” appliances in your kitchen. I recently moved from a home that had a gas stove to one where I now cook with electricity … not because I have children who are likely to develop asthma but because … well, the new house does not … [Read more...]
The Dangers of the “One Health Joint Plan of Action”
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a page on its website titled “One Health Basics.” There it defines “One Health” as “a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach—working at the local, regional, national, and global levels—with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing”—and here’s the crux—“the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.”On that page the CDC writes about the risk of disease transfer … [Read more...]
