Honest, evidence-based climate models could avoid trillions of dollars in policy blunders. by Paul Driessen and David Legates President Trump and his Coronavirus Task Force presented some frightening numbers during their March 31 White House briefing. Based on now 2-week-old data and models, as many as 100,000 Americans at the models’ low end, to 2.2 million at their high end, could die from the fast-spreading virus, they said. However, the President, Vice President Pence, and … [Read more...]
Yes, Prime Minister Gets it Right: Global Warming is a Sham Front for Political and Financial Ambitions
