Get Ready for Noisy Summer Nights — Compliments of ‘Mother Nature’

If it isn’t some new virus, or swarms of killer hornets newly arrived from Southeast Asia, it has to be another dread event to grab the attention of the mainstream media.

The real climate science deniers

Manmade climate crisis promoters reject inconvenient evidence of natural climate change  Fifty years ago, I helped organize Earth Day #1 programs on my college campus, calling attention to serious pollution problems that afflicted much of the USA.

Mutating virus panic into climate crisis scares

In the first several weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, the media alternated between providing information on the scope and possible dreadful consequences of the contagion and vilifying President Trump over his supposed failures in managing the pandemic.

A bill introduced in the California Assembly January 13 would require students to study the causes and effects of climate change in grades 1-6.

Record Heat and Cold Expose Climate Alarmists’ Bias

Australia was literally on fire in December. Record heat made headlines in global media. So did the extreme rainfall in east Africa.
