How Terrified Should We Be of Hurricane Season This Year?

Once again, as nearly every year, officials at NOAA and other agencies called for 2022 to be a “very active” hurricane season.  In its May 24 release, NOAA predicted “an “above-average hurricane activity this year — which would make it the seventh consecutive above-average hurricane season.”  It’s like the old joke that everyone’s grandkid is “above average”: for […]

The Great Barrier Reef Is Doing Great; People Should Know

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is, well, great.

Green Energy Policies No Help to the Most Desperate

Herd hysteria is taking tragic social and economic tolls on formerly prosperous countries that have enacted climate alarm-premised anti-fossil energy and agriculture policies. Such self-inflicted misery can be attributed to a combination of influences: unwarranted fear based upon provably failed theoretical climate models; grossly misguided expectations of so-called “green energy” capacities and economies; and certainly

Climate Change Did Not Cause Recent Record Heat Waves

“Unprecedented Heat Wave in Pacific Northwest Driven by Climate Change,” the headline in E&E News, WOWT-TV, WorldNewsNetwork, and other media outlets recently, couldn’t possibly be less scientific. With absolutely no analysis, no historical context, and nothing but conjecture, author Anne C. Mulkern, in her article for Scientific American, eschewed science for advocacy in her coverage of the brief Pacific Northwest (PNW)

When Will the Cold Go Away? Disappointed Public Wakes Up to Climate Reality

Many regions in the Northern Hemisphere are experiencing relatively colder spring conditions. The residents of New Delhi, India, were particularly miffed at the apparent lack of Delhi’s infamous summer heat waves and excruciatingly hot weather.
