Who will argue against the planet? Climate change dogma always ignores the good news
Feature Photo : Big Blue Marble True or not, blaming global warming for the projected decimation of [Australia’s] platypus, certain marsupial populations and, the Great Barrier Reef, has proven to be a lucrative source of funding for activists and rent-seekers. It’s also an excuse for the [Australian] federal government to institutionalise massive wealth transfers through…
Feature Photo : Three Models of Tesla EVs You have to hand it to the passenger motor vehicle industry – they are past masters at securing favours from governments. They have been doing it for decades – arguably it’s their core skill set. Just because we no longer produce cars here doesn’t mean that the…
Feature Photo Source: WCD-version-06272215121.pdf (clintel.org) When the history of climate alarmism is written decades from now, there will be recognition about how a very able undercurrent of thought kept check on an intellectual/political/media elite declaring a dire emergency from the human influence on climate. And so more than a thousand intellectual, critical thinkers have signed…
Feature Photo: Australian Wombat in the Snowy Mountains The planet itself hasn’t warmed for nearly eight years, the satellites say. A Melbourne scientist friend, Geoff Sherrington, had crunched the latest data from the UAH satellites (below) and found Australia has not warmed for the past ten years – so much for the “climate emergency”. Canadian…
Torn between a decade-long reliance on cheap Russian gas on the one side and a sudden desperation to be energy independent in the face of the Ukraine war, Germany is now in the uncomfortable position to have neither.

Shark Week has become a staple of American television. Debuting in the summer of 1988 the event has morphed into a week-long block of programming at the Discovery Channel featuring all kinds of entertaining and educational shows focusing on sharks.

Climate activists propose that we embrace the argument that CO2 is a pollutant as an article of faith without delivering compelling evidence. Noting that CO2 warms the planet by trapping heat in the earth’s atmosphere is an inept argument because warming has positive and negative effects. The strength of the green movement is predicated on the belief that warming is a…

Koonin won the Oxford Style debate since 25% of the in-person and online audience shifted to his view that the debate question: “Climate science compels us to make large and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions” is a false statement. You should be able to view the entire debate by August 24th, I’m told, on…
Now progressives are moving to censorship phase two, which is shutting down debate over climate ‘solutions.’ Progressives first demanded that social-media platforms silence critics of climate alarmism. Now White House national climate adviser Gina McCarthy wants them to censor content on the costs of forced ‘green-energy’ transition. A few years ago, Facebook enlisted third-party paid-to-lie…
