The purpose of this paper is to explain how the data set that is referred to by policy-makers and the media as the global surface temperature record is actually obtained, and where it fits into the popular narrative associated with climate alarm. ... Continue Reading
From Brian C. Joondeph, originally published by American Thinker: Baby, It’s Cold Outside is a popular Christmas song from another era, long before the MeToo virus infected society. The virus turned harmless flirting into a crime against humanity, disqualifying perpetrators from employment, government service, or polite society. Today, we sing, ma’am, sir, they, or ze,… Continue Reading

Scam of the Century! Ridding the World of Crude Oil Without a Replacement is Global Suicide!
Co-authored by Ronald Stein and Gregory Wrightstone The world now sustains 8 billion people—ten times the population prior to the Industrial Revolution and thankfully has experienced record crop production. This rapid increase in agricultural output is partially attributable to an increase in atmospheric CO2 since 1940. This rise in CO2 levels alone is linked to… Continue Reading
Hundreds of ‘ghost’ climate stations are no longer operational; instead they are assigned temperatures from surrounding stations. From Epoch Times‘ Katie Spence: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts July, August, and September will be hotter than usual. And for those who view warmer temperatures as problematic, that’s a significant cause for concern. “Earth’s… Continue Reading
By Dr. Lars Schernikau The world’s first nuclear power plant started operation near Moscow in 1954. The following decades saw hundreds of nuclear reactors being built around the world, with the United States, France, and China leading the build-out, making up about half of today’s global installations. About 90 per cent of today’s operating nuclear reactors were… Continue Reading
The evidence is clear that natural forces and their feedbacks, not human-caused carbon dioxide, are the primary cause of today’s ‘climate change’ BY KEN WILSON, P.ENG. (RET.), SEPT. 14, 2023 INTRODUCTION The IPCC has dominated the funding and development of the anthropogenic global warming narrative since its inception in 1988. The IPCC’s work has been… Continue Reading
By Andy May You can read this post in German here, courtesy of Christian Freuer. Here we go again, writing on the proper use of statistics in climate science. Traditionally, the most serious errors in statistical analysis are made in the social sciences, with medical papers coming in a close second. Climate science is biting at… Continue Reading
Resource Brief by Kip Hansen — 29 March 2023 Dr. Lars Schernikau, energy economist, entrepreneur, commodity trader and author of the recent book “The Unpopular Truth…about Electricity and the Future of Energy”, has produced a very informative and insightful short YouTube titled “How ‘Human’ Disruptions Impact GDP”. “Human Disruptions”? — Like the Covid Pandemic and… Continue Reading
by Ron Barmby Most people have a firm opinion on whether human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing unnatural global warming, and hold that opinion without understanding how the molecule physically absorbs and then releases heat energy. Understanding that mechanism reveals why today’s significant global CO2 emissions are insignificant to future global warming. Analogies… Continue Reading
by Daniel Nebert, MD As a physician-scientist (and pediatrician), I wish to interject some scientific facts into the ongoing politically-charged “global warming/climate change” topic. First, the United Nation (UN)’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently shocked the global warming community by very discreetly announcing a retraction (27 October 2022) that “their computer-modeling estimates were… Continue Reading
by Richard Lindzen Technical paper 5, The Global Warming Policy Foundation Abstract The one-dimensional picture of the greenhouse effect and the role of carbon dioxide in this mechanism dominates current depictions of climate and global warming. We briefly review this picture. [See attached document.] We then discuss the shortcomings of this approach in dealing with… Continue Reading
By Andy May – March 13, 2022 In the Great Climate Change Debate between Professor David Karoly and Professor Will Happer, Glenn Tamblyn was called upon to finish the consensus side of the debate after Karoly backed out. The details are described in my latest book. The debate contained an illuminating exchange of opinions on… Continue Reading
By Andy May, March 3, 2022 By Andy May My latest book,[1] just released, is about a climate change debate between Professor David Karoly of the University of Melbourne and Professor William Happer of Princeton, emeritus. One of the most interesting debate topics was about the attribution of global warming. The host was James Barham… Continue Reading
By Dr. Patrick Michaels – February 8, 2022 GOV. Glenn Youngkin raised quite a kerfuffle when, even before he took office, he said he would extricate Virginia from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). It is the right thing to do. While he’s at it, he ought to propose that the Virginia legislature repeal the… Continue Reading
There’s renewed interest in this interchange between William Happer and David Karoly conducted by The Best Schools in their Civil Global Warming Dialogue. Excerpts below are from William Happer’s Major Statement, which is no longer available. Instead, there is an extensive William Happer Interview on Global Warming from September 7, 2021. The David Karoly Interview is available from Andy… Continue Reading
Plant production has been boosted, the need for water and fertilizer has been brought down, and field experiments show that these effects are likely to increase in coming decades.... Continue Reading
Author: Gregory Wrightstone | Published: RealClear Energy | Date: 13 July 2022 Censors at LinkedIn have permanently banned me from the social media site after I presented data drawn from peer-reviewed data used by the preeminent promoter of the narrative that man-made global warming threatens the planet— the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).… Continue Reading
by Richard S. Lindzen – October 19,2021 Many of the world’s leaders appear to believe that emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) constitute an existential threat whose impact is already severe and will become impossible to deal with within a very few years. This has resulted in a number of international agreements, beginning with the Rio… Continue Reading
By: Gregory Wrightstone If you think that the Microsoft-owned social media platform LinkedIn is just about professional and business connections with no politics, you would be wrong. The online service appears now to be emulating its bigger social media rivals at Facebook, Google and Twitter in censoring views with which it disagrees. My second run-in with… Continue Reading
By Richard Lindzen Image via MIT.edu MIT atmospheric science professor Richard Lindzen suggests that many claims regarding climate change are exaggerated and unnecessarily alarmist. For over 30 years, I have been giving talks on the science of climate change. When, however, I speak to a non-expert audience, and attempt to explain such matters as climate sensitivity,… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Much of the media’s playbook is straightforward: Push repeatedly a predetermined agenda. I was one of perhaps billions of people who fell for this tried-and-true method of mass deception. Even some of the most intelligent people came to fear a climate catastrophe on our beautiful blue planet. If you have found yourself… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Kooky tales about Antarctica abound – including the presence of UFOs, a lost civilization and a passage to Earth’s interior. All are generally dismissed as absurd. Yet, some widely accepted claims about climate change and ice sheets at the planet’s southernmost end are equally far-fetched. The world is told daily that rising… Continue Reading
By Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. May 1, 2025 Cirrus clouds have been around forever. Cloud types were first named by English pharmacist Luke Howard in 1802 using Latin terms. Cirrus clouds refer to their hair-like appearance, but they can take on many shapes depending upon conditions such as humidity, the rate at which air is… Continue Reading
Richard Lindzen Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Emeritus Massachusetts Institute of Technology William Happer Professor of Physics, Emeritus, Princeton University April 28, 2025 SUMMARY At the outset it is important to understand that carbon dioxide has two relevant properties, as a creator of food and oxygen, and as a greenhouse gas (GHG). As… Continue Reading
