By juxtaposing the thoroughly discredited population explosion theories of the 1970s with the (equally panicky) global warming predictions of our day, the article cannot help but make readers wonder whether a certain measure of caution is due before significantly altering human behavior to accommodate these forecasts.
In mid-April the Met Office, the UK’s national weather service, briefed the government, councils and emergency services to plan for hotter than average temperatures. Optimistic predictions of “gloriously warm weather” based on the Met Office’s models failed to materialise, however, as
Disney could lose up to $140 million on the Brad Bird-directed George Clooney dystopian fantasy dud Tomorrowland.
Thursday at 8 a.m. ET will mark the beginning of the Heartland Institute’s 10th International Conference on Climate Change. Speakers will include Sen James Inhofe (R-OK), Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX); Princeton Physics professor William Happer and conservative commentator Mark Steyn, co-author of “Climate Change: The Facts,” which also features Breitbart
How long does it take for an expert who has, year upon year after year, made predictions of unrealized doom, an expert hailed heeded and hearkened to by the whole world, to admit error? Answer: forever. He never will, and neither will most of his admirers.
There’s a long article in the grown-up Australian magazine Quadrant which I wouldn’t expect columnist Jonathan Chait to be capable of finishing, let alone comprehending.
But why fret over explaining the pause you didn’t see coming, if you can just fiddle with a few spreadsheets and make it disappear? That’s what the authors of a new paper published in Science magazine did. They got rid of some data sets they didn’t like, added a few degrees here and there, and presto – the climate change pause is gone, replaced by the possibility of a very gentle warming trend that bears no resemblance whatsoever to the doomsday predictions of the Eighties and Nineties, which led to so many billions of dollars in spending.
there has now been no “global warming” for 18 years and six months. Not only does this contradict all the doomladen climate models cited in the IPCC’s various reports – none of them predicted the so-called “Pause” – but it also means that not one of the kids in school being fed climate propaganda by their on-message teachers has ever personally lived during a time of global warming.
Released in April of 2013, the Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS) have already been officially adopted by 13 states and Washington, D.C. Their promoters claim they are another “state-led” endeavor, “managed by Achieve,” the same progressive nonprofit that was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop and promote the Common Core standards.
Amplifying AB 32, the Schwarzenegger-era cap-and-trade law, Democrat legislators in California are set to impose even more aggressive greenhouse gas reductions that would lower greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) to 80% below 1990 levels by the year 2050.
The signatories think the 2007 statement on climate change is fundamentally flawed, and should be retired, rather than attempting to repair its language and add material to reflect the concerns of dissenting scientists.
In a rare display of diplomatic indecorum, Margaret Archer, the president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, has lashed out at the author of a recent essay, accusing him of hate speech and moral depravity for questioning the Academy’s position on climate change.
Before Walker went on a fundraising cruise on Lake Winnipesaukee, Americans United For Change (AUFC)—a liberal organization—announced it would be organizing a counter-protest to Walker’s cruise. A couple things made this different than any normal protest, however. First off, the people “protesting” Walker on global warming—who they called “climate change voters”—would be dressed as moose. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, they’d be on a “floating iceberg” behind Walker.
It was just a little less than two years ago when the media’s Global Warming Truthers were assuring us that Global Cooling Global Warming Climate Change would result in a dramatic increase in the number of hurricanes and tropical storms
“J0hn Carter,” “Jupiter Ascending,” “Speed Racer,” Cowboys and Aliens,” “The Wolfman,” and … “Tomorrowland”? Unless something supernatural happens in Brazil and Japan, the only two territories where director Brad Bird’s left-wing “Tomorrowland” has yet to open, Disney’s Global Warming screed
This review is late because I was on vacation. Every prediction made by the Global Cooling Global Warming Climate Change hoaxers has proven to be a hoax. The planet is not warming. Hurricanes have not gotten worse. The Arctic ice
The long-time leader of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, RK Pachauri, is reportedly under indictment by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) for “misuse of his position and violation of the organisation’s policy on sexual harassment.”

So the new government’s battle lines are drawn – between the True Tories and the Continuation Cameron squishes. And already the Continuation Cameron squish camp has fired its first salvo, in the form of this outrageous provocation, on the subject
Temperature readings from the Arctic and Antarctic used to estimate the effects of global warming are nothing more than guesswork, a climate researcher has said. Dr Benny Peiser heads up the Global Warming Policy Foundation, which last month announced its intention to
The BBC’s Science Editor David Shukman recently got back from an expedition to the high Arctic. Amazingly, despite having gone all that way, he seems completely to have missed the big story: that contrary to the doomsday predictions we’ve been
An Arctic expedition designed to demonstrate the threat of climate change has ended in tragedy with the deaths of two Dutch researchers, Marc Cornelissen, and Philip de Roo. The pair are believed to have fallen through thin ice nearly three
The highly respected Colorado State University forecast for the coming season looks for only 7 named tropical storms and only 3 hurricanes, about 40% less than average. Coupled with the expectations of global cooler weather and more precipitation from El Niño, climate change “scientific experts” may need to develop more new models.
Royal Dutch Shell’s Arctic drilling program has taken one step closer to gaining approval to begin drilling off the northwestern coast of Alaska, but furious environmentalists are planning to stop the oil rigs with a kayak flotilla.
California’s cap-and-trade tax is creating a luscious honey-pot of cash to sooth state politicians’ spending fantasies. In expectation of the cash available from the “May Revised Budget” to be released this week, lawmakers and their interest-group fellow travelers are outlining ambitious proposals that include funding port improvements, paying for heavy-duty trucks and ferries, nurturing urban rivers, sponging up carbon in soil and increasing subsidies for bus riders.
A group of like-minded thinkers meeting at the Vatican for a workshop on climate change have issued a final statement, making a series of bold proclamations on the environment and issuing an alarming ultimatum that the climate summit in Paris later this year “may be the last effective opportunity” to keep global warming from reaching “devastating” levels.
