What Happens to Professors who Dare Question Climate Orthodoxy?

by E. Calvin Beisner

Well, sometimes they're told to shut up. And if they don't, sometimes they get fired. And after that, sometimes they get told to shut up about being fired. That's the gist of what's happened to Dr. Peter Ridd, ex-professor of marine science at James Cook University in Australia. Ridd had the temerity to point out, in a chapter for the book Climate Change: The Facts 2017, that studies on which the claim that rising atmospheric CO2 concentration---blamed also for catastrophic anthropogenic global … [Read more...]

Nuclear Engineer Reveals “Climate Consensus” as Anti-Scientific

by E. Calvin Beisner

Over at the American Nuclear Society's ANS Cafe blog, ANS Fellow and Adjunct Professor of Nuclear Engineering Dr. Ruth Weiner exposes the anti-scientific character of appealing to consensus to push climate alarmism: Scientific thought progresses as a result of skepticism about a consensus rather than by invocation of that consensus. The fallacy of the 97 percent is not that it was the wrong number or that the subject group was improperly identified, but that the phenomenon – that atmospheric … [Read more...]

Yes, Climate Change is Real–and Skepticism about its Magnitude is Good Science

by E. Calvin Beisner

In “Meteorologist Tells Christians: Climate Change Is Real,” Opposing Views columnist Michael Allen misrepresents The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, of which I’m founder and national spokesman. He writes that we have “encouraged evangelical leaders to deny man-made climate change” and co-sponsored a “climate change denial conference.” On the contrary, our “Open Letter on Climate Change to the People … of the United States of America” (signed by hundreds of scientists and … [Read more...]

Potential Democratic VP Misrepresents Cornwall Alliance on Senate Floor

by Megan (Toombs) Kinard

Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), a potential running-mate choice for presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, joined other Democratic Senators yesterday on the Senate floor to attack the Cornwall Alliance, and a few other Virginia-based organizations, in a poor attempt to defend climate alarmism against its critics. As usual, Kaine’s was an argument rife with logical fallacies—appeals to emotion, straw men, ridicule, oversimplification, and misrepresentation. The one thing the … [Read more...]

Do AGs Bent on Prosecuting Climate Skeptics Have a Political Agenda?

by E. Calvin Beisner

You can’t make these things up! A small group of attorneys general, led by New York AG Eric Schneiderman, held a press conference Wednesday, March 30, to announce their determination to track down and prosecute for fraud (knowingly conveying false information to enrich oneself or harm others) evil skeptics of climate change. One look at this photo tells you everything you need to know about their real agenda. It just so happens that the fate of the Obama Administration's most … [Read more...]

More Saber-Rattling by the Enemies of Free Speech and Real Science

by E. Calvin Beisner

Last week U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch told Congress that her department has discussed taking civil legal action (under RICO, the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) against "climate deniers" (whatever those are---I don't know any). “This matter has been discussed. We have received information about it and have referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria for which we could take action on,” she said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing … [Read more...]

Those Greedy Climate Deniers!

by E. Calvin Beisner

Can't help chuckling as the chickens come home to roost for the nattering nabobs of climate correctness. They've been telling everybody for over a decade that "the science is settled," "there is no debate": Human emissions of CO2 are driving catastrophic global warming and we must, absolutely must, drastically curtail emissions to save humanity and even planet Earth itself! Well, if that's so, why continue spending $Billions on research related to that settled question? I mean, we're not … [Read more...]

Curry Deals Another Blow to Climate Consensus

by E. Calvin Beisner

Georgia Tech climatologist Judith Curry dealt a serious blow to the appeal to consensus on climate change in her paper "Climate Change: No Consensus on Consensus," three years ago. She pointed out (among lots of other valuable things) that, whatever value consensus might have in science (as opposed to politics), consensus is significant only if it arises spontaneously, but the alleged consensus on climate change had been assiduously manufactured by the IPCC. She's followed the subject a good … [Read more...]

Is John Cook, 97% Consensus Author, an Identity Thief?

by E. Calvin Beisner

As "everybody knows"---hey, even President Obama lectured us on the fact!---97% of all scientists agree: global warming is real and dangerous, and we must take drastic steps to stop it. The "researcher" behind that claim is University of Western Australia psychology postgraduate John Cook, whose "study"  has been torn to shreds for bad data handling, bad sampling, bad literature interpretation, and horrendous statistical methodology. Cook is also the main man behind the climate alarmist website … [Read more...]
