I saw a Space.com article today entitled, Can Venus teach us to take climate change seriously? While Space.com writers should know quite a bit about the other planets, the article was a fount of misinformation and gross exaggeration. The obvious purpose of the article was scare us into taking increasing carbon dioxide levels seriously, following on the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NC4) report (which I’m still trying to digest). After repeating the NC4 claim that “10 percent of the U.S. … [Read more...]
Fire Facts Foil Climate Fraud
The 4th National Climate Assessment (NCA), released Friday, November 23, is a hodge-podge of cherry-picked data, outright lies, and scare-mongering at its worst. It predicts the premature deaths of tens of thousands from the effects of climate change, including deaths from starvation, mosquito-borne illnesses, extreme heat, flooding, and other natural disasters. The poster-child of this apocalyptic vision for the Earth was man-made warming-driven wildfire. Forests in flame were prominently … [Read more...]
California burning: Man’s actions have exacerbated the tragedy
The recent horrific fires in California have reignited a debate on the role that supposed man-made warming has on these events. Governor Jerry Brown leads the way, stating, "This is the new abnormal, and this new abnormal will continue, certainly in the next 10, 15, 20 years. Unfortunately, the best science is telling us that dryness, warmth, drought, all those things, they’re going to intensify." Is he correct? The answer is much more complicated than Gov. Brown’s. Human activities and … [Read more...]
Strange Agreements and Stranger Taxes: The United Nations’ Climate Drama
When I first watched Stranger Things (a Netflix original) in 2016, I thought the story writer was really talented and the show lived up to its name. But a real-world storyline is even stranger: the climate policies recommended to us by the UnitedNations. Despite its many scientific and structural failings, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the world’s most influential, though not the most credible, source of policy on climate change. No other political or … [Read more...]
Witch Hunts, Climate, and Climate-Change Madness
Cornwall Alliance Contributing Writer Gregory Wrightstone, author of Inconvenient Facts, posted a great video to YouTube explaining how the bitter cold, failed harvests, and famines of the Little Ice Age contributed to the witchcraft scare that led to the gruesome executions of many women (and some men) wrongly thought to be witches. Today, it’s not global cooling, which is a real problem when it happens, but global warming, which brings great benefits in terms of improved crop yields, that … [Read more...]
The Intrinsic Value of Nature and the Proper Stewardship of the Climate
Ross McKitrick[1] Department of Economics University of Guelph For presentation to “Exploring the theological, economic, cultural and political assumptions for faith groups (and others) dealing with climate change.” Conference at Huron College, University of Western Ontario, May 29, 2012. Abstract: Historically there have been three broad ways of viewing the natural world. Primitive cultures viewed it as a personal entity with a mind of its own. Biblical cultures view it as the work of a … [Read more...]
Does Government Really Need to Regulate Everything?
In high school and college, I competed in debate tournaments across the state and country. I clearly remember many occasions when a debate team’s plan would include abolishing some government program. Inevitably, the opponents would ask, “What will you replace it with?” Only once did I hear any debater respond with, “Nothing at all. Government shouldn’t be doing that at all.” Everyone in the room was stunned, and that team lost. Even today, most people find it hard to imagine abolishing … [Read more...]
Adapt, Change, or Just Swim! Why Fish Will Not Face Climate Apocalypse
It is said the modern man-made climate change impacts ocean life, more specifically the life of marine fishes. It is said that some species could become extinct or vulnerable in the near future. However, are these claims true, and what does the available empirical evidence suggest? During my three years as a graduate student at the University of British Columbia’s Changing Oceans Research Institute (CORU), after earning my M.Sc. in environmental sciences, I had the opportunity to study the … [Read more...]
America Is Following Germany’s Failed Climate Goals
Germany was the first major economy to make a big shift in its energy mix toward low-carbon sources, but it is failing to meet its climate goals of reducing carbon dioxide emissions even after committing to spend over $580 billion by 2025 to overhaul its energy systems. The nation’s emissions miss should be a “wake-up” call for governments everywhere. Germany stepped up as a “leader on climate change” by phasing out nuclear and pioneered a system of subsidies for wind and solar that sparked a … [Read more...]
Climate Change’s #MeToo Movement: The Dark Secrets of Climate Saviors
The #MeToo movement this year exposed the dark secrets of Hollywood and many other global organizations. But the #MeToo movement within one fraternity has been suppressed and underreported by the leftist media. And that is the Climate Change fraternity encompassing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and their climate change conferences that host a wide network of collaborators, including climate scientists … [Read more...]
