From Dr. Richard Lindzen, originally published by The American Mind: Modern political movements have not infrequently laid claim to being based in science, from immigration restriction and eugenics (in the U.S. after WWI), to antisemitism and race ideology (in Hitler’s Germany), to Communism and Lysenkoism (under Stalin). Each of these falsely invoked a scientific consensus that…

From James Murphy, originally published by The New American: The Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel), composed of European and North American researchers and scientists, declared in a communique last week that the “imagined and imaginary ‘climate emergency’ is at an end.” The group met at the International Scientific Conference in Prague, Czech Republic, even as the UN’s COP29 climate…

From James B. Meigs, originally published by City Journal: Michael Shermer got his first clue that things were changing at Scientific American in late 2018. The author had been writing his “Skeptic” column for the magazine since 2001. His monthly essays, aimed at an audience of both scientists and laymen, championed the scientific method, defended the…

From David Trilling, originally published by The Harvard Gazette: Prices for hydrogen produced with clean energy will remain high, Harvard researchers demonstrate in the journal Joule, but the fuel may remain the only way to decarbonize some sectors. Green hydrogen is often touted as the solution for our toughest decarbonization problems: heavy industry, transportation, energy…

From Darren Parker, originally published by Engineering News: The energy transition in its current form, as a grid-scale build out of wind and solar with the goal to replace oil, coal and gas, is probably one of the greatest mistakes that humanity has ever made,” said German-listed commodity company HMS Bergbau Group shareholder Dr. Lars Schernikau, at nonprofit organisation FFF…

By Ron Barmby Gregory Wrightstone’s new book A Very Convenient Warming: How modest warming and more CO2 are benefiting humanity, is much more than a rebuttal to the mainstream media’s portrayal of climate change. Wrightstone’s book allows us all to have rational and informed conversations on climate change policies instead of the emotional approach which…

From Williamsport Sun-Gazette: Thirty years ago, more than 800 waste coal piles marred the Pennsylvania landscape, poisoning streams and emitting gaseous odors, including the rotten-egg smell of hydrogen sulfide. Then, as part of a statewide cleanup, power plants capable of burning low-quality coal began turning the waste into electricity. Indeed, some waste piles still smolder…

From Lucian G. Conway, originally published by The American Spectator: Few scientific efforts have been so dramatically ruined by politics as climate science. For over 30 years, thousands of climate scientists have pushed the message that the world is in serious jeopardy because of human-caused climate change. They have signed manifestos saying we are in a…

From RealClearEnergy: Headlines promote renewable energy equipment companies as part of efforts to transition to Net Zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Wind and solar system providers, electric vehicle manufacturers, green hydrogen producers, and other green equipment firms form a growing share of world industry. But renewable equipment firms suffer poor market returns, so investors…

From Ronald Stein and Oliver Hemmers, originally published by America Out Loud News: Delivery of affordable, abundant, reliable, clean, and emissions-free electricity to customers is very important to modern quality of life. Achieving this is threatened by a vulnerable grid and the intermittency of wind and solar electricity generation methods.  To meet the coming power…

From David Wojick, published by CFACT: The vigilant folks at the CO2 Coalition have been saying we are no longer teaching the scientific method in public school science education classes. This puzzled me because the new rules for science education claim to teach kids to think like scientists. I figured the kids would be awash…

From Steve Goreham, originally published by MasterResource: “The Climate Commitment Act will have a negligible effect on the climate, but if not repealed, it will continue to significantly raise fuel, food, and utility prices in Washington State.” Washington State’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA) faces the possibility of repeal this fall. Governor Jay Inslee and others claim the…

From Steve Goreham, originally published by MasterResource: In March, the US Environmental Protection Agency published new methane emissions regulations for the oil and gas industry. The European Union enacted new rules to reduce methane emissions from the energy sector in May. Agriculture is also being targeted regarding methane. But methane regulations, even if established worldwide,…

From Daily Sceptic’s Dr. Rudolph Kalveks: In a recent lecture, Nobel Laureate physicist John Clauser exposed how the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) models and analyses, which are relied upon by politicians and activists to support claims of a ‘climate crisis’, do not meet basic standards of scientific enquiry. Clauser received his Nobel prize…

From California Globe: “There is ‘NO Climate Crisis’ says a coalition of 1,600 actual scientists” in a recent letter to the California Air Resources Board. In fact, the scientists find that “California is in no danger of unusual drought: The annual precipitation in California has fluctuated greatly over the last 150 years, with only a…

From Newsmax: “Summer is now approaching, and summer is the favorite time for climate alarmists to advance their linkage between so-called man-made climate change and severe weather-related issues that we find like fires, hurricanes, tornadoes,” said CO2 Coalition Executive Director Gregory Wrightstone. “Looking at the science, the facts, and the data, it doesn’t support this…

California Governor Gavin Newsom is taking his climate change road show to the Vatican where he was invited to speak by Pope Francis at a Summit of mayors and governors. The Summit, which will be held from May 15th to May 17th, will cover “the impact of rising temperatures” in local communities, and “climate resilience.”…

From River Cities’ Reader’s Rochelle Arnold: The Canadian Wolf Midstream, a Calgary-based private company, is backed by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPP Investments”). Wolf was formed in 2016 with the primary goal of building CO2 pipelines across Canada and abroad. And with plenty of federally funded incentives in the United States, a mad…

From Epoch Times’ Katie Spence: ‘We have far bigger problems—people sleeping hungry, very poor people around me—I’m more worried about that than I’ll ever be worried about climate change.’ Under a blazing Kenyan sun, elderly women toil on their hands and knees in the reddish-brown clay, separating the choking weeds from the small, green shoots…

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…

From The Mercury’s Jerry Shenk: In a 1961 farewell speech, President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned America about the growing influence of the “military-industrial complex.” Vietnam-era demonstrators adopted Eisenhower’s warning as a verbal cudgel in an anti-war crusade featuring noisy chanting, e.g., “Hey, Hey! Ho, Ho! (fill in the blanks) has got to go!” The seeds planted by…
