Summer: The Best of Times for Climate Alarmists

By Gregory Wrightstone August and September are great months to be a professional climate alarmist like Dr. Michael Mann of the University of Pennsylvania. You have hurricanes making landfall, wildfires seemingly everywhere, the odd F-4 tornado wreaking devastation, and you can pretend that these never happened before we started adding CO2 to the atmosphere. Plus, you have virtually… Continue Reading

Governor Josh Shapiro’s Wrong Approach to Grid Reliability

By Gordon Tomb Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has asked regional power grid operators to enhance the electricity system’s dependability—and he’s got ideas about how to do it. But his premises are flawed, and his suggestions misguided. Shapiro wants reliable power, yet he’s banking on unreliable sources to provide it. That approach isn’t just wrongheaded; it’s a… Continue Reading

Hawaiian Fires: Fueled by Invasive Grasses, a Wet Spring and Human Ignition Sources

By James Steele The Maui fire would have devastated Lahaina in a colder or warmer climate. It would have devastated Lahaina in high or low CO2 concentrations. The key is managing the dead grasses that become flammable in just hours. Climate change was irrelevant. Declaring a climate emergency to reduce fossil fuels is a useless… Continue Reading

The Media’s Climate Fearmongering Doesn’t Help Anyone

by Vijay Jayaraj In an era of sensationalism and clickbait headlines, the media’s portrayal of hot weather adopts an apocalyptic tone. Each scorching summer is touted as further evidence of an impending climate catastrophe with little room for nuance or objective analysis. However, lost in the hyperbole is the inconvenient truth that cold weather poses… Continue Reading

Major Victory as Scientific Method Returns to NC K-12 Standards

By John Droz This was the first year that N.C. K-12 Science Standards were formally reviewed since 2009 — way too long. I first became aware of what was being proposed when the 2nd Draft was published on the N.C. Department of Public Instruction (DPI) website. As a professional scientist, I read these carefully and had two major concerns. The first was… Continue Reading

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Carbon Dioxide

by Ron Barmby Political tunnel vision on global warming has resulted in declaring increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide an existential threat. But the United Nations’ resolve to reduce carbon dioxide levels runs counter to its goals to end world hunger, promote world peace and protect global ecosystems. It fails to address the key question relating… Continue Reading

The Tale of Two Summer Solstices

By Daniel W. Nebert Summer solstice is that time of year when our sun is “closest to directly overhead”; the next day it begins its gradual march toward winter solstice, when the angle of the sun is most oblique (for us in the Northern Hemisphere). Between June 14 and 28, Portland sees 17 hours from sunrise… Continue Reading

Perspective: Climate Change Gave Us the Great Salt Lake, but It’s Not the Reason It’s Shrinking Today

By William Hayden Smith The Great Salt Lake, or the “Bad Water,” as it was known to the Shoshoni, exists thanks to climate change. The present lake was formed from a much larger lake, Lake Bonneville, about 30,000 years ago. A drier climate reduced Lake Bonneville to the Great Salt Lake’s current dimensions. The lake… Continue Reading
