Global Temperature and CO2—Which Drives Which?

By /

The climate alarmist crowd never tires of insisting that anthropogenic additions to atmospheric carbon dioxide—up by 45 percent, from 280 to about 407 parts per million, since before the Industrial Revolution—are driving historically unprecedented and likely-to-become catastrophic global warming, and that they’re exacerbated by increases in atmospheric methane (CH4) driven by the rising temperature, making […]

“It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”—Yogi Berra

By /

In his 1968 book The Population Bomb Paul Ehrlich predicted mass famines in America and lots of other countries around the world before 1980, and that we would run out of lots of minerals by then, too. His predictions turned out false. He remains the idol of environmentalists worldwide. In 2007 Al Gore predicted, ““The North Polar

Mitch’s Pitch for Climate Alarm—Reason, or Unreason?

By /

Recently Rev. Mitchell Hescox, CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network, wrote an email to a pastor, who forwarded it to us. It’s a prime example of the fallacious (and worse) discourse climate alarmists often use. Here’s what Hescox wrote: I pray you will reconsider your stance on climate change. It is apparent, you have been

Human-induced Global Warming—A Little, or a Lot?

By /

Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer’s monthly graph of global lower atmosphere temperature anomaly for March 2017 shows we’re still cooling from the super-El Nino that so warmed 2016. Track your eye straight left from the farthest-right point and you’ll see that there’s little change from the anomalies of roughly 2001–2006, and of course

Nobel physicist Ivar Giaever’s classic lecture on global warming

By /

To answer a question sent to the Cornwall Alliance, I re-watched, today, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Dr. Ivar Giaever’s outstanding lecture debunking the idea that carbon dioxide is driving unprecedented global warming and was reminded just how brilliant it is. Despite the passage of nearly two years, it remains highly persuasive. Watch it for yourself. If

MIT Scientists Vie for Influence with the White House

By /

Cornwall Alliance Contributing Writer Charles Clough—a veteran meteorologist as well as a theologian, pastor, and graduate of MIT—supports a call by MIT Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Science Richard Lindzen for the U.S. to leave the U.N Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris climate agreement, and explains why a group of MIT professors who

Second Warmest February in 123 Years for Contiguous U.S.—Ho Hum

By /

NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) eagerly reported March 8 that February was the second warmest February in the last 123 years for the contiguous U.S. Various news media played it up. More evidence of dangerous, manmade global warming! (Except that of course warming is only evidence of warming, not of manmade warming. And the

This changes everything!

By /

“Consensus” climate science has for decades assumed that the vast majority of the increase in atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (from about 280 parts per million by volume [ppmv] before the Industrial Revolution to about 400 today) has come from burning fossil fuels for energy. On that assumption, “consensus” scientists have alleged that human activity
