Magma-induced earthquakes began in southwest Iceland in late October, peaking last week before recently waning. As a surface expression of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the island nation is no stranger to volcanic activity. At least three major eruptions over the last 3,000 years were large enough to significantly impact global climate. Each of these three led… Continue Reading

Thousands of the venomous ophidians are rooted out of their dens and brought to the Nolan County Coliseum to be gawked at, “milked,” and often beheaded and skinned. It… Continue Reading

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon sparked a backlash from state lawmakers when he discussed plans to make the Cowboy State carbon dioxide-neutral during a talk at Harvard last month. The governor added that the problem won’t be solved by turning off fossil fuels, and he promoted the use of carbon capture and sequestration. These technologies either capture… Continue Reading

Recently Dr. Clauser has come out strongly against the notion that there is a climate emergency, but his remarks have been ignored by journalists following a ‘settled’ narrative. Unfortunately, the WaPo stunt turned into a spectacular own goal since it called on the services of the science influencer Michael Mann to attack Clauser’s view as… Continue Reading

Guest Column: Gordon Was Standing Tall In The Saddle Until He Backed Down Guest columnist Gregory Wrightstone writes, “Gov. Gordon was standing tall in the saddle when he accepted an invitation to debate publicly his so-called carbon-negative policy in a state heavily engaged in the production of fossil fuels. However, he ultimately backed down.” As… Continue Reading

The combination of modest warming, more CO2 and use of nitrogen fertilizers (derived from fossil fuels) are greatly increasing crop yields worldwide. Thanks to this abundance of food production, deaths due to famine are in steep decline despite increasing temperatures in the 20th century. The chart above is sourced from the new book A Very Convenient… Continue Reading
