Yet, as recently as January 6, we were told by USAToday that Boston’s lengthy 316-day streak *without* one inch of snowfall as of January 1st was caused by global […]

Alarmists Embrace Authoritarianism, Ignore Lessons of History

By /

A rump group of the environmental movement has always been wedded to authoritarianism—primarily the movement’s intellectual leadership. Going back to the beginnings of environmentalism as a movement, progressive-era politicians such as President Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot (Roosevelt’s friend and choice to be the first head of the newly created U.S. Forest Service) believed democracy

Are Climate Lockdowns Coming Because of a ‘Climate Emergency’? (No, It’s Not a Conspiracy Theory)

By /

In early December, the Washington Post reported that because of climate change, snow in the Mountain West “may vanish for years at a time.” The headline did not age well. Only days later it started to snow in the West. And snow. And snow. An incredible photo on Twitter showed a towering wall of snow on Donner

The Only Question That Matters: Is It Correct?

By /

Recently I had a conversation about scientific claims in a field I haven’t mastered. We all find ourselves there once in a while.

Because I don’t have much training in said disciplines, I haven’t thoroughly investigated the

Fortunately, meteorologists have been increasingly capable of issuing tornado warnings and have greatly reduced tornado-related death tolls.
