I have just arrived in Paris for the COP21 climate conference. Even though I have arrived at the beginning, I know exactly how it is going to end in two weeks’ time: with fudge, compromise, and a great big lie that something useful has been achieved — followed by aching disappointment.
News from the Paris climate-change conference as it develops…
“When we have large groups of people that want to blow up every one of our cities, that want destroy our country, that kill our people, and he’s worried about global warming. I think it’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen,” Trump said in an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe today.
Climate alarmists are particularly fond of the report-card strategy because it fits into their egotistical delusions about SCIENCE! as a religion, of which they are the high priests. Treating dissent as heresy is a tremendous emotional rush, which is why heresy remains a popular charge among extremists after thousands of years. The terms of enlightened discourse require a certain degree of polite consideration for dissenters, but you can let your hair down and go nuts against heretics, who must be destroyed for the good of the faithful.
One of the reasons people are skeptical about the warnings from climate change alarmists is that they stubbornly refuse to live as if they believe a single word of what they’re saying. The size of their carbon footprints is staggering. Just look at all the fossil fuels they burn to attend entirely unnecessary “climate conferences.”
Thousands took to the streets of London today, led by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, to protest climate change. The event was part of a worldwide day of protest with almost 2,500 similar events taking place globally ahead of a United

Thanksgiving dinner promises to be especially rough for liberals this year. At home, there’s the collapsing enrollment, soaring premiums, agonizing deductibles, and shaky insurance company finances created by ObamaCare. Overseas, Islamic terrorists are making life difficult. What we really need is a handy guide for discussing global warming with your crazy ISIS relatives.
Global warming’s reputation as the most evil and dangerous thing ever to happen in the history of the world has just gone full Godwin: apparently – among all its myriad other crimes – it may have been responsible for the rise of

Weeks away from a deadline, President Barack Obama sought to build momentum Wednesday for a potentially legacy-burnishing global climate change agreement by arguing that bold climate action will be a boon for businesses in Asia and around the world.
In a poll of 1,000 likely voters, Rasmussen Reports asked if the “government [should] investigate and prosecute scientists and others including major corporations who question global warming?” A full 27% of Democrats replied in the affirmative, as did 12% of
A study presented at the British Royal Astronomical Society’s recent annual meeting confirms that the sun may go into a “hibernation” mode around 2030 called the “Grand Solar Minimum” that could cause another “Little Ice Age.”
Bjørn “Skeptical Environmentalist” Lomborg has been doing the math on global warming – and it’s worse than we thought. Even if every nation in the world adheres to its climate change commitments by 2030 the only difference it will make to
The forthcoming UN climate talks known as COP21 which start in Paris at the end of this month are going to be a MASSIVE SUCCESS. I say this with confidence for three reasons. 1. $1.5 trillion. This, according to a fairly conservative
Global warming will kill your sex life, according to a paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Antarctica is growing not shrinking, according to the latest study from NASA. Furthermore, instead of contributing to rising sea levels, the still-very-much-frozen southern continent is actually reducing them by 0.23 mm per year. The study – by an organization not hitherto noted
In August 2015, the Obama administration announced its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plan to cut the national average of 32 percent of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 from power plants’ 2005 levels.
The US government’s main climate research agency has refused a request by House Republicans to release key documents concerning the controversial issue of whether or not there has been a “pause” in global warming. Despite being a public, taxpayer-funded institution,
Across Mexico, they are counting the cost of the strongest hurricane ever recorded. It may be days before we know the full tally, but already we can guess from shocked eyewitness accounts that the damage from Hurricane Patricia could run into
The volume of lunacy pouring from the global-warming movement has steadily increased as science fails them more decisively. The old mythology about human industry boiling the planet is deader than a doornail, buried under a mountain of data that warmists must carefully edit and distort to cook up their perennial “warmest month EVER!” headline bait.
Author Johann Hari stated that solving problems like Syria requires “getting serious about global warming,” which requires campaign finance reform on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time.” Hari said, “If you look at why there’s this catastrophe going on in Syria,
France’s top weatherman has been suspended from his job for questioning the cult of global warming. Philippe Verdier, a household name for his nightly weather reports on the France 2 channel, has just published a book in which he argues that the climate
Sheldon Whitehouse, the preposterous Democrat senator for Rhode Island, has been preaching to his choir at HuffPo that the only way to deal with those pesky climate change deniers is to pursue them through the courts using RICO laws. Good luck
On a day when National Security Advisor Susan Rice partially blamed climate change for the conflict in Syria, Democrat presidential candidates lined up to warn about the international dangers of climate change. The big question is control. “Climate change” is a way for politicians to assert it. If that’s what voters want, they should select somebody from the Democratic debate. If not, they’ll need to look elsewhere.
The climate models used by alarmist scientists to predict global warming are getting worse, not better; carbon dioxide does far more good than harm; and President Obama has backed the “wrong side” in the war on “climate change.” So says one of
Carbon dioxide emissions are making the Earth greener and more fertile, a United Nations (UN) climate scientist has said. In a paper for the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Dr Indur Goklany, who has previously represented the United States on the Intergovernmental
At a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, Ted Cruz subjected him to a withering cross examination. Mair was reduced to stammering and frequent awkward pauses which he used to receive whispered advice from staff. He repeatedly referred to the discredited “97 percent of scientists concur” claim, and was unwilling to acknowledge valid scientific data that disproves the claim.
The plan by climate alarmists to have other scientists imprisoned for their skepticism is backfiring horribly – and the chief alarmist is now facing a House investigation into what has been called “the largest science scandal in US history.”
Scientists have discovered a hitherto unknown cooling process which may pose a serious threat to man-made global warming theory. According to a study by the Institute of Catalysis and Environment in Lyon (IRCELYON, CNRS / University Lyon 1) and the Leibniz
Next time you find yourself in the sea and you spot a triangular fin bearing down on you – perhaps with some eerie music going der-dum der-dum der-dum dum dum dum dum, in the background – be sure, before you
If you think that no one would try to control what experts say, with intimidation tactics like climate trials, think again.
