By Vijay Jayaraj Practitioners of rigorous scientific methodology – from the 17th century’s Galileo to 1965’s winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Richard Feynman – would consider today’s climate research an embarrassment, shaped by uncritical orthodoxy and zealotry rather than genuine testing of hypotheses. Classical science welcomes skepticism. It thrives in an environment where… Continue Reading

SEC’s Climate Risk Disclosure Rule Would Compel Companies to Make Scientifically False and Misleading Disclosures
By Stone Washington and William Happer In March last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued its climate risk disclosure rule, called “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors.” It requires companies to report enormously costly and voluminous data on their carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With this rule,… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been predominantly portrayed as the chief culprit driving global warming. For decades, this misconception has guided international policies, prompted ambitious targets for reducing CO2 emissions and driven a shift from reliable and affordable energy resources like coal, oil, and natural gas toward problematic wind and solar sources. However,… Continue Reading
By William Happer The best way to think about the frenzy over climate is to consider it a modern version of the medieval Crusades.

In censoring material that contradicts the popular – though increasingly feeble – fiction of a climate crisis, Facebook is quick to discount the credentials of one of the world’s… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone The science of climate change often is presented in complicated language that speaks of computer models and the theoretical inputs and outputs thereof and concludes that the globe is on the verge of “boiling.” Well, leave it to three physicists — steeped in calculus and such arcane matters as the behavior of… Continue Reading
by William Happer Before leaving for a week of virtue-signaling at the COP27 climate conference with other world elites, President Joe Biden would have done well to reread Hans Christian Anderson’s story “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” “In the great city where he [the Emperor] lived, life was always gay,” Anderson wrote. “Every day many strangers… Continue Reading

Review and Analysis of Van Wijngaarden and Happer Concerning Radiative Transfer in Earth’s Atmosphere in the Presence of Clouds
Download 2n-Stream Radiative Transfer here Kees de Lange October 2, 2022 The understanding of Earth’s climate depends to a large extent on our knowledge of radiative transfer processes in the atmosphere. Short wavelength radiation in the visible range from the sun enters the atmosphere and finds its way to the surface to warm it. Long… Continue Reading
Mouse Squeaks at Lion Kip Hansen – 10 December 2021 Some people just seem to have a distorted view of their proper place in the Universe. In what should have been seen as a joke has been taken seriously by David Vetter a “Senior Contributor” at FORBES. Note that the magazine gives a disclaimer that… Continue Reading
