Elite billionaire organizations and foundations, government agencies and activist pressure groups are funding and coordinating a global war on modern agriculture, nutrition, and Earth’s poorest, hungriest people. Instead of helping more families get nutritious food, better healthcare and higher living standards, they’re doing the opposite, and harming biodiversity in the process.The World Economic Forum wants to reimagine, reinvent and transform the global food system, to eliminate … [Read more...]
Twisted Truth: Lies, Extreme Lies, and Climate Statistics
Predictably, the summer is once again heating up much of the Northern Hemisphere. And just as predictably global elites are turning up the heat on global warming, now global boiling. As the Washington Post recently headlined: “The U.N. warns ‘an era of global boiling’ has started.” Of course, US officials are on top of this global boiling meme. In early July, The Wall Street Journal reported the news about "The Science Behind Beryl's Early Fury": According to the National Weather … [Read more...]
The Looming Electricity Shortage
People in developed nations take abundant electricity for granted. When asked where electricity comes from, most will point to their wall outlet. But many states in the U.S. are headed for a serious and prolonged shortage of electrical power not seen in decades, driven by rising demand from the artificial intelligence revolution and mandates to adopt green energy.For 20 years, U.S. electrical power policy has been dominated by efforts to try to “mitigate” global warming, believed to be caused by … [Read more...]
The Problems With “Temperature Data”
It is becoming increasingly clear that the temperature data the U.S. government and many other governments use to predict catastrophic climate change, the data from surface temperature stations, aren’t accurate.To paraphrase Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnet 43: How bad is the surface station record? Let me count the flaws.Even its climate alarmist defenders acknowledge that surface station data runs too hot. To make matters worse for the alarmist cause, the overheated surface station data are … [Read more...]
Why the PROVE IT Act would result in carbon taxes
The following is a guest article by Daren Bakst.The PROVE IT Act (S. 1863) is not a benign information collection bill on the carbon intensity of domestic and foreign goods. Instead, it would put in motion the creation of carbon taxes: a carbon tax on imported goods and a domestic carbon tax. It would also help the Biden administration as it works with the EU to impose carbon taxes on imported metals. Here’s why:Bottom lineThe PROVE IT Act would make carbon taxes a reality. If … [Read more...]
California Aims to Force Adoption of Electric Trucks, But 19 States Sue to Block
Earlier this year, California passed regulations that would turn the trucking industry upside down. New mandates for zero-emissions trucks would disrupt the industry, raise shipping costs, and put trucking companies out of business. A group including 19 states and several trucking organizations recently filed suit to block the California regulation.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashCalifornia’s Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) Regulation goes into effect on January 1, 2024. The ACF requires that … [Read more...]
Models Can’t Agree on Climate Sensitivity
Image: Created Commons under UnsplashFor decades, the public has been told climate researchers understand and have accurately modeled “climate sensitivity,” defined as the average global temperature rise we should expect following a doubling of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere compared to pre-industrial levels. Yet, climate models routinely run too hot, both hindcasting (unless their outputs or the measured data is adjusted to conform) and forecasting far more warming than is actually … [Read more...]
Dishonest Climate Fear-Mongering Headlines
The Dishonest Climate Fear-mongering headline award goes to USA TODAY whose headline said:"Dramatic flooding was rare in Vermont’s capital. Expect it more amid climate change."Similar catastrophic claims were suggested throughout the click-bait media-verse from the NY Times, the Washington Post, CNN, etc., etc. Rarely does the media provide a scientific, historical context, preferring instead to weaponize weather.But if you read the article Climate Variability and … [Read more...]
New Claims of Record-Setting Temperatures Are Nothing but Hot Air
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashRecently headlines in mainstream media such as the BBC, CNN, Forbes, and The Washington Post blared the consistent message that July 4, 2023 was the hottest day in history, or at least in the past 125,000 years. The headlines and stories show just how gullible the media is, or alternatively, that they are so wedded to the climate crisis narrative that they would publish a story they know is impossible to verify and is probably untrue.The Washington … [Read more...]
The Religious Cult of Climate Catastrophism
The following is a guest article by Andrew Montford.I have been working in climate and energy for nearly 15 years, and it’s fair to say that it’s not often I find something that makes me radically change the way I look at the domain. But a new book, by Andy A West, has done just that.The Grip of Culture makes the case that climate catastrophism is cultural – akin to religion or one of the extreme political movements that have assailed the world from time to time. This is not an entirely new … [Read more...]
