More recently, the primary concern has been the advent of a large increase in demand, mostly due to data centers, cryptocurrency “mining,” and the apparent transition to EVs and appliances. The next
Reversing this faulty EPA finding will curtail climate alarmism and green energy grifting The supposed climate cataclysm consensus is disintegrating under growing pressure from reality. Green energy subsidies, regulations and mandates are crumbling. Greenpeace has been hit with a $667-million judgment for conspiracy, defamation, trespass, and fostering arson and property destruction. Last year’s “Buy a

In March last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued its climate risk disclosure rule, called “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors.” It requires companies to report enormously costly and voluminous data on their carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With this rule, the SEC seeks “to achieve the primary
For two decades, the public has been bombarded with dire warnings of an impending climate-induced agricultural apocalypse. The claim is that a climate warmed excessively by the carbon dioxide emissions of human activity will ravage the food supply and plunge humanity into famine and chaos. For many reasons, none of this ever made sense. Now,

Guest column by Charles Rotter For years, climate scientists have assured us that NOAA’s homogenized temperature datasets—particularly the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN)—are the gold standard for tracking global warming. But what if the “corrections” applied to these datasets are introducing more noise than the signal? A recent study published in Atmosphere has uncovered shocking

March 7, the Washington Post reported the EPA Administrator is considering recommending to the White House that the EPA’s 2009 CO2 Endangerment Finding be rescinded. Let’s look at a few of the reasons why this might be a good thing to consider. The Science The science of human-caused climate change is much more uncertain that you have

On December 7, 2009—“a day that will live in infamy”—the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued what is known as the “CO2 endangerment finding,” which has been the linchpin of practically all federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide. Over the past 15 years, the EPA, other federal agencies, and various states have issued
