It’s not “code red for humanity.” The philosopher G.F. Hegel is notorious for having said that if facts contradict theory, then “um so schlimmer für die Fakten”—“so much the worse for the facts.” Not surprisingly, the idealist Hegel had a huge influence on another idealist philosopher, Karl Marx, whose “scientific socialism” was socialist but decidedly […]

Oil derivatives and fuel manufactured from oil were the main reasons population rose to 8 billion. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calls the AR6 Climate Change 2021 Report, just released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a “code red for humanity“ that “must sound a death knell for … fossil fuels, before they destroy

For 20 years or more, dire warnings about global warming and “climate change” have taken the mass media of entertainment by storm. Every few years, climate change doomsayers have claimed that the world only has 12 years to turn the tide. They said practically the same thing 12 and 15 years ago; however, that they’re
Exposing the Media’s Climate Change Lies and Exaggerations Learn More »
Last week, a group of scientists sent shock waves through the climate-science community. They boldly pointed out that current climate models exaggerate greenhouse warming. In other words, they confirmed what climate skeptics have been arguing all along: that most computer climate models forecast unrealistic warming — warming not observed anywhere in the real world. Could

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

This is the third in a series of answers to a common, popular defense of drastic measures to combat manmade global warming. For the first, click here, and for the second, click here. The third and fourth points “Bob” made were these: “For most people, I think this would be a no-brainer issue if it
Is Failure to Fight Climate Change Really Suicidal? Learn More »
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

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

Yesterday brought widespread news coverage of a new “study” published in Nature Geoscience which concludes that global warming has not been progressing as fast as expected, and that climate models might be a “little bit” wrong. (That the “little bit” is a factor of 2 or 3 is a fine point upon which we won’t quibble here.) I’m still

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
