Walter E Williams: Intellectual Dishonesty

White privilege and other nonsense.     President Barack Obama's stance, expressed in his 2014 State of the Union address, is that the debate is settled and climate change is a fact. Obama is by no means unique in that view. Former Vice President Al Gore declared that "the science is settled." This "settled science" vision about climate is   ... MORE

Barry Farber: ISIS Vs. 'Climate Change'

Contemplating America's perceived enemies.  How much can you blame a liar when his audience is too ignorant to follow his tongue? Oh, how the New York kiddies loved Uncle Don, the deeply beloved children’s radio star! One day, as his show was ending and the happy theme music was playing, Uncle Don reminded his loyal, sweet   ... MORE

Gary North: The Global Warmers Have Lost The War

The ultimate inconvenient truth.   It’s always nice to see a leftist outfit finally fess up to a lost cause. The global warming crowd has clearly lost, and this Mother Jones article makes this clear. The governments of the world have not implemented the Kyoto treaty of 1992 or its 1997 update. The whole thing lapsed on December 31, 2012. It’s over.  ... MORE

Chriss Street: The Sun Is Engaging In Climate Change Denial

Another problem for Al.  The sun is known to be the main driver of all weather and climate. With 99.86% of the mass in our solar system, the great ball of violent fire in the sky has recently gone quiet in what is likely to be the weakest sunspot cycle in more than a century and actually flatlined in recent days. Weak solar cycles, like the current one,   ... MORE

Ronald Bailey: What Evidence Would Be Needed To Persuade You That Man-Made Climate Change Is Real?

Evidence does not mandate any particular policy.     In 2005, I changed my mind about climate change: I concluded that the balance of the scientific evidence showed that man-made global warming could likely pose a significant problem for humanity by the end of this century. My new assessment did not please a number of my friends, some of    ... MORE

New Study Is A ‘Death Blow’ To Global Warming Hysteria

by Michael Bastasch.  A new study out of Germany casts further doubt on the so-called global warming “consensus” by suggesting the atmosphere may be less sensitive to increases in carbon dioxide emissions than most scientists think. A study by scientists at Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Meteorology found that man-made aerosols had a much     ... MORE

Patrick Moore: Why I Am A Climate Change Skeptic

Confessions of a Greenpeace co-founder.   I am skeptical humans are the main cause of climate change and that it will be catastrophic in the near future. There is no scientific proof of this hypothesis, yet we are told “the debate is over” and “the science is settled.” My skepticism begins with the believers’ certainty they can predict the global    ...

Walter E Williams: Global Warming

A most anti-science idea.  "But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact," said President Barack Obama in his 2014 State of the Union address. Saying the debate is settled is nonsense, but the president is right about climate change. GlobalChange.gov gives the definition of climate change: "Changes in average weather conditions that persist over  ... MORE

Global Warming Protest Postponed Due To Cold Weather

by Michael Bastach.   A propaganda fail at Yale. Yale anti-fossil fuel campaigners have indefinitely postponed a protest that was set for this weekend due to “unfavorable weather conditions and other logistical issues.” Fossil Free Yale, a group pushing the university to divest itself from fossil fuels, told the Yale Daily News that frigid, snowy  ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Stormy Weather And Politics

The political utility of dire predictions.    It was refreshing to see meteorologists apologize for their dire — and wrong — predictions of an unprecedented snow storm that they had said would devastate the northeast. It was a big storm, but the northeast has seen lots of big snow storms before and will probably see lots of big snow storms  ... MORE

Peter Suderman: Meet The New Mitt, Same As The Old Mitt

An alternative to integrity.     Mother Jones’ David Corn has found a new "progressive champion" in a somewhat surprising candidate: Mitt Romney. Corn is not exactly a committed Romney booster: He helped tank Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential ambitions by publishing Romney’s infamous 47 percent remarks, in what was probably the biggest  ...

How Government Money Effects Climate Change Opinion

by Patrick J Michaels & Paul C "Chip" Knappenberger.  In our post last week titled “Climate Alarmism: When is this Bozo Going Down?” we described how new research increasingly casts doubt on the validity of climate models and their projections of future climate change.  It is increasing clear that climate models simply predict too much   ... MORE

John Stossel: Climate Catastrophe

The real world effects of fossil fuel.   People argue about whether the "consensus" of scientists is that we face disaster because of global warming. Instead of debating whether man's greenhouse gasses will raise temperatures, we should argue about how we gauge disasters. If you take most environmentalists and climate scientists at their word,   ... MORE

No Nukes, No Fracking, No GMOs, And No Capitalism

by Ronald Bailey.   No brains on display at the People's Climate March. The People's Climate March ambled genially down 6th Avenue in New York City Sunday afternoon. The March's slogan was "To Change Everything, We Need Everyone." Not everyone showed up, but the March did attract between 300,000 and 400,000 participants, making it by far the  ... MORE

Leo Vs. Science: Vanishing Evidence For Climate Change

The incandescent ignorance of a Hollywood star.  In the runup to the Sept. 23 UN Climate Summit in New York, Leonardo DiCaprio is releasing a series of films about the “climate crisis.” The first is “Carbon,” which tells us the world is threatened by a “carbon monster.” Coal, oil, natural gas and other carbon-based forms of energy are causing   ... MORE

David Rose: The Myth Of Global Meltown

Al Gore's predicted it would be ICE-FREE by now.  The speech by former US Vice-President Al Gore was apocalyptic. ‘The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff,’ he said. ‘It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.’ Those comments came in 2007 as Mr Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for his      ... MORE

Deroy Murdock: Global Warmists Getting Hot Under Collar

Where is the warming?     As I start to write these words, I am on my Manhattan balcony savoring a Friday evening. It normally is oppressive this time of year. Stifling humidity and sweltering temperatures relentlessly squeeze New Yorkers in a brutal vice. The infernal stickiness typically keeps it from cooling down, even at night. It is not unusual     ...

Feds Spend $450K To Help Indians With Climate Change

Taxpayers scalped, weather or not.         The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plans to spend up to $450,000 in taxpayer dollars to teach Native American tribes in the Great Basin region ”climate adaptation plans” for their hunting, fishing and gathering activities. “Due to climate change, the natural landscapes are becoming       ...
