Judith Curry confirms: climate models can’t justify policy—ANY policy

By /

For years we at the Cornwall Alliance have been saying that the disagreement between model predictions (or projections or simulations, call them what you will) of global temperatures and real-world observations means the models are invalidated and therefore provide no rational basis for predictions of future temperature and therefore no rational basis for policies meant […]

Does the Trump Administration Put Science in Jeopardy?

By /

It’s hard to imagine a more thoroughly ignorant statement than this: “The discipline of science is one where the facts, once they are peer-reviewed and published in scientific journals, are fixed. They’re not open to interpretation, or at least not much.” That’s the opinion of Jeffrey Kluger and Justin Worland, writing in “How a war on

Seeing Red—New NASA Climate Change Video Uses Questionable “Data” for Colorful Deception

By /

A visitor to Cornwall Alliance’s Facebook page recently asked our thoughts on a new video from NASA purporting to demonstrate that global warming is happening rapidly and that there’s been no slow-down, let alone “pause,” in the last two decades. Among other media, Huffington Post featured the video in an article titled “NASA Climate Change Video

The Trump Climate Dump: Why It Doesn’t Matter if Even 100% of Scientists Agree on Global Warming

By /

Given current technologies, it makes no sense to destroy $100 Trillion in wealth this century for an unmeasurable reduction in warming. The more efficiently we can do those things, the greater humanity prospers. Affordable energy is part of that efficiency. Everything humans do requires energy. Everything. But when human prosperity suffers, people die. So, can

Climate Science or Climate Advocacy?

By /

For almost thirty years, I have taught climate science at three different universities. What I have observed is that students are increasingly being fed climate change advocacy as a surrogate for becoming climate science literate. This makes them easy targets for the climate alarmism that pervades America today. Earth’s climate probably is the most complicated

Yes, Climate Change is Real–and Skepticism about its Magnitude is Good Science

By /

In “Meteorologist Tells Christians: Climate Change Is Real,” Opposing Views columnist Michael Allen misrepresents The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, of which I’m founder and national spokesman. He writes that we have “encouraged evangelical leaders to deny man-made climate change” and co-sponsored a “climate change denial conference.” On the contrary, our “Open Letter

Who Does John Tierney Think He Is to Challenge Chris Mooney about “Science Denial”?

By /

Leftwing environmentalist Washington Post columnist Chris Mooney has made something of a cottage industry out of lampooning what he considers conservatives’ “science denial” in four books. Count ’em: The Republican War on Science, 2005 Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle over Global Warming, 2007 Unscientific America—How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future, 2009 (with Sheril Kirshenbaum,
