A couple of months ago the journal Polar Biology published a paper about a polar bear's having chased a reindeer into the sea, caught it, drowned it, dragged the carcass back to land, and feasted on it. "Yes, they can: polar bears Ursus maritimus successfully hunt Svalbard reindeer Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus" didn't make a lot of noise at first and probably didn't deserve to. But count on popular media to spin and hype what's actually mundane if it can be tied, even speculatively, to … [Read more...]

Consecutive cold years reveal climate lies of COP26
As world leaders meet this week at Glasgow for COP26, real-life data such as cold weather and increasing sea ice hints at the falseness of their faux climate crises. Residents of Delhi, for instance, are bracing for another cold winter after the country’s meteorological department forecasted below-normal temperatures for November. In fact, a string of exceptionally cold winters for the Indian capital have contradicted continual media predictions of unusual global warming—a dichotomy repeating … [Read more...]
Climate Change: Ebb and Flow of the Tide
Emotional, agenda-driven politics confronts sound, evidence-based science The topic of global warming and climate change is far more scientifically complex than the public is led to believe. Myriads of newspaper, magazine and TV items over decades have tended to simplify the science to the point at which the general public believes that it is all so simple that any fool can see what is happening. Public groups often accuse world leaders and scientists of being fools, if they do not … [Read more...]
Climate Change Contributes to Another Year of Record Crop Production in India
One of the largest agricultural countries in the world, India, expects its highest summer crop production for 2021–2022. This comes at a critical juncture when energy shortage crippled food production in China. The record numbers will play a critical role in maintaining global food security. The record harvest also challenges claims that climate change will reduce global crop production. For example, the Observer Research Foundation—an organization that is partnered by Apple, Bill … [Read more...]
Don’t Lose Sleep Over the Latest UN Climate Report
It’s not “code red for humanity.” The philosopher G.F. Hegel is notorious for having said that if facts contradict theory, then “um so schlimmer für die Fakten”—“so much the worse for the facts.” Not surprisingly, the idealist Hegel had a huge influence on another idealist philosopher, Karl Marx, whose “scientific socialism” was socialist but decidedly not scientific. Facts have never seemed to matter much to socialists—it’s theory that counts. Perhaps that underlies the propensity for … [Read more...]
A Simple Explanation of Why Climate Models “Run Hot”
The Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR6) has been released, much to the excitement of and fanfare from the mainstream media. It was expected that gloom and despair would permeate the document – unless, of course, we adopt a draconian carbon-dioxide-reduction strategy – and the IPCC did not fail to deliver. So, where do these extreme climate scenarios originate? One could assume that they could be “made up”; after all, climate change … [Read more...]
To anti-capitalists climate change is just a pretext for a planned economy
Guest column by Rainer Zitelmann Many so-called climate change activists are not really concerned about the climate and the environment. No, for them, these are merely instruments in the fight against capitalism. Examine the standard work of anti-capitalist climate change activists and you will quickly see what I mean. Naomi Klein, the popular critic of capitalism and globalization, admits that she initially had no particular interest in the issues surrounding and related to climate … [Read more...]
Exposing the Media’s Climate Change Lies and Exaggerations
For 20 years or more, dire warnings about global warming and “climate change” have taken the mass media of entertainment by storm. Every few years, climate change doomsayers have claimed that the world only has 12 years to turn the tide. They said practically the same thing 12 and 15 years ago; however, that they’re saying this year! Many news stories, many news programs and many movies, including many documentaries, have sounded the alarm about global warming and climate change, such as Al … [Read more...]
Climate Models: Worse Than Nothing?
Guest column by Robert L. Bradley Jr. “Climate modeling is central to climate science….” (Stephen Koonin, below) When the history of climate modeling comes to be written in some distant future, the major story may well be how the easy, computable answer turned out to be the wrong one, resulting in overestimated warming and false scares from the enhanced (man-made) greenhouse effect. Meanwhile, empirical and theoretical evidence is mounting toward this game-changing verdict … [Read more...]
The Happy Warrior Saves His Best Climate Writing for Last
S. Fred Singer, who died last year, was an emeritus Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia, well-known for his written and spoken clarity. His last book, the Third Edition of Hot Talk, Cold Science: Global Warming’s Unfinished Debate, is the most lucid example of his communication talents. This book is just like Fred, who was always smiling, had a good word for everyone, and was enthusiastic about his work. His attitude reminded me of Minnesota’s Hubert Humphrey, … [Read more...]
