As we saw in Part 2 of this brief history, the Interfaith Council for Environmental Stewardship didn’t work out as originally hoped. But that didn’t mean the Cornwall Declaration would lie dormant forever. David Rothbard and Craig Rucker, whom I introduced in Part 2, kept in touch with me over the next few years, encouraging […]

Joshua Emerson Smith, a reporter for the San Diego Union-Tribune, has picked it up, and the U-T gave his story prominent placement: “Climate contrarian uncovers scientific error, upends major ocean warming study.” “It” was the revelation, by mathematician Nicolas Lewis, who specializes in statistical analysis related to climate change, that a major paper in Nature, widely considered the

An article in the prestigious scientific journal Nature reports that the most comprehensive, reliable method we have of measuring global average temperature reveals a decadal warming rate of just about 0.09C per decade. That’s about half the rate predicted by the computer models on which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and various government agencies rely

Earlier today we posted a blog piece, “Cracks in the Empire’s Armor Appear,” by Dr. Roy W. Spencer, that commented humorously on how the media have responded to a new study by climate scientists who heretofore have reliably toed the alarmist line. Observing that actual warming trends are far smaller than those projected by the

Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer’s monthly graph of global lower atmosphere temperature anomaly for March 2017 shows we’re still cooling from the super-El Nino that so warmed 2016. Track your eye straight left from the farthest-right point and you’ll see that there’s little change from the anomalies of roughly 2001–2006, and of course

“Consensus” climate science has for decades assumed that the vast majority of the increase in atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (from about 280 parts per million by volume [ppmv] before the Industrial Revolution to about 400 today) has come from burning fossil fuels for energy. On that assumption, “consensus” scientists have alleged that human activity

A single devastating graph shows official climate predictions were wild Guest column by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley The new global warming speedometer shows in a single telling graph just how badly the model-based predictions made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have over-predicted global warming. The speedometer for the 15 years 4 months January

It’s fairly unusual to find a balanced presentation of both sides in the global warming debate in any publication, so I’m glad to be able to recommend one. Our good friend Will Happer, whom we interviewed for our documentary video Where the Grass Is Greener: Biblical Stewardship vs. Climate Alarmism, was interviewed by TheBestSchools.org, and the

If you run in the right circles, you might encounter someone who breathlessly tells us that the downward trend in estimates of climate sensitivity (how much added warmth comes from added atmospheric CO2) got turned around by a new study in Nature Climate Change, and we’re back to a best estimate of Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity
