Whatever his core political beliefs might be, and how they were shaped by his upbringing, Pope Francis has clearly been intent on making the Catholic Church more acceptable to the Left. He has a knack for making statements that set left-wing hearts aflutter, even though what he really said often turns out to be considerably less liberal than breathless news reports led readers to believe, particularly when his original statement was not made in English.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been added to the lineup of celebrity activists who will appear onstage at next week’s Global Citizen Festival at New York City’s Central Park.

President Obama is not alone in wielding governmental power to clamp down on carbon-emitting energy. While he weaponizes the Environmental Protection Agency to take on coal-powered energy, potentially shutting down hundreds of coal-fired power plants, Alberta’s new socialist NDP government is pushing ostensibly environmentally-minded policies against oil on shared premises of combating “climate change.”

Nearly six in ten climate scientists don’t adhere to the so-called “consensus” on man-made climate change, a new study by the Dutch government has found. The results contradict the oft-cited claim that there is a 97 percent consensus amongst climate

Global warming nuts already think Big Oil can control the weather, and they seem to be moving toward accusing fossil fuel companies of somehow faking the climate itself, in such a way that satellites are fooled into reporting all those beautiful billion-dollar “climate change” doomsday theories are a pile of rubbish.

An Arctic expedition to study climate change has ground to a halt thanks to the worst ice conditions seen in the Hudson Bay for two decades. An icebreaker which doubles as a scientific vessel during the summer months was scheduled to
