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, […]

Speaking to a gathering of mayors from around the world at the Vatican July 21, Pope Francis urged action to reduce global warming, saying he particularly hopes the UN climate summit later this year will address how it “affects the trafficking of people.” Problem #1: Human-induced climate change has not affected the trafficking of people,

Climate alarmists the world over heaved a sigh of relief a little over a month ago when a team of NOAA scientists led by Tom Karl published a piece in Science purporting to disprove “the pause” in global warming. The sigh was short lived, though, since quite a few able critiques of Karl et al. 2015

Folks like those who stage events like the “Walk Against Warming” illustrated above think fighting climate change is a high priority. President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry say climate change is the greatest threat facing the world. But United Nations-sponsored worldwide polling suggests that how people answer the question, “How high a priority is

Anglican Bishop Peter Forster and Labour Party Leader Bernard Donoughue team up for a clear, concise, respectful, yet telling critique of Pope Francis’s encyclical LAUDATO SI’, published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation. They argue, as has the Cornwall Alliance, that: 1. The policies Pope Francis supports to reduce global warming will harm the world’s poor.

Scientist and economist Dr. Alan Carlin was a model civil servant for nearly forty years, serving as a science analyst in the federal Environmental Protection Agency. But in 2009, he made a bad career move. He told the truth. As one of the EPA staff members assigned to assess the warming effect of added CO2

Ivar Giaever explains in this video lecture why he rejects global warming alarming. “It’s ridiculous,” he says, to think we can measure global average temperature (GAT) accurately, and that we should consider an increase in GAT from ~1880 to 2015 from ~288 degrees Kelvin to ~288.8 degrees Kelvin (an increase of only 0.3%) frightening. There’s

At +0.11C per decade rate, Global Average Temperature would rise 1.1C in a century, not the ~3C generally predicted by IPCC without CO2 emission reduction. Actual increase in the 36.5 years since 1978 is 0.407C. To wind up with 3C increase in the century from 1978 through 2077, we’d need to add another 2.593C in
Paul Etienne, Catholic Bishop of Cheyenne, with jurisdiction over the Diocese of Wyoming, was cited recently in Inside Energy as calling Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’ “a call to action” for Wyoming, the nation’s largest coal-producing state. But there might not be quite so much to what Bishop Etienne said as Inside Energy would wish. The sole quote

While attention worldwide focuses on manmade global warming, the risks from which are fairly small compared to the benefits of the energy use that allegedly drives it, the real risk to humanity (and the rest of the biosphere) is, as it has been throughout geologic history, from nature-made global cooling.
