| Study: Wealthiest Create Most Emissions – The top 1% was linked to more than of 17% of emissions, despite many celebrities and pols posing as loud voices against fossil fuels | By Addison Smith – New research published in PLOS Climate this week found that, of greenhouse gas (GHG) emitted in the United States, […]
| Climate Change = Wildfires? | By Steve Milloy – Hawaii Gov. Josh Green and the media pointed the finger at climate change as responsible for the dozens of deaths and tremendous property loss resulting from the Maui wildfires. They’re pointing in the wrong direction. Dry grasslands, windy conditions and one or more sparks were […]
By Elmer Beauregard On Monday Obama came out with his new CO2 regulations increasing the amount of cuts from 30% to 32% of 2005 levels by 2030. James Hansen has come out saying these new cuts will have no effect on global CO2 levels or global temperature and for once I actually agree with him. […]
By Michael Bastasch – It’s been a busy year for climate scientists, who have been trying to explain why there has been no global warming for nearly two decades. The Daily Caller News Foundation reported in February there were eight mainstream explanations for the pause, but there are now a whopping 52 explanations for why […]
In 2014, American households saw the largest electricity price increases in 6 years, according to government data, as utilities are forced to use more green energy and invest in energy efficiency and grid improvements. Energy Information Administration data shows that U.S. residential electricity prices “experienced large increases in retail electricity prices during 2014, with the […]
By Dr. Tim Ball It is not surprising that Roe and Baker explained in a 2007 Science paper that, “The envelope of uncertainty in climate projections has not narrowed appreciably over the past 30 years, despite tremendous increases in computing power, in observations, and in the number of scientists studying the problem.” The Intergovernmental Panel […]
By: Micheal Bastasch. The Obama administration and environmental groups have long claimed 97 percent of scientists agree that human activity is causing the Earth to warm, but there’s a new consensus they may be less willing to acknowledge. Using the same methodology as the vaunted “97 percent” paper by researcher John Cook, two climate scientists have […]
A free-market think tank is suing the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy over its withholding of documents linked to the claim global warming caused last winter’s polar vortex. The free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute filed a lawsuit on Wednesday demanding documents related to the White House’s polar vortex video. The suit comes after CEI […]
A new study suggests that the warming trend on the West Coast over the last century was not caused by human activity but more so by a change in the winds. The research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences acknowledged in the study significance that warming trends are “often ascribed to anthropogenic […]
By: Roger Greenway. You have probably heard that melting permafrost is a big contributor to increasing the levels of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, and that melting permafrost may even cause an unstoppable acceleration of global warming. New research, however, supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), counters this widely-held scientific view that thawing permafrost uniformly […]
Geothermal activity was previously underestimated By: Ian Lang Everyone knows that volcanoes are exceptionally hot things – that’s why no one expects to find a glacier near, say, Hawaii. However, nowhere on Earth is 100% insulated from geothermal activity: Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin have determined that subglacial volcanic activity, along with climate change, […]
By James Delingpole New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has come up with an exciting new theory as to why the world’s economies are still proving reluctant to bomb themselves back to the dark ages in order to “combat climate change.” Apparently, it’s all the fault of a certain uncompromising White Russian émigré: Well, think […]
By Andre Lofthus The AGW community would have you believe that the science in favor of AGW is settled. As a professional scientist, a physicist with 40 years experience in aerospace and extensive knowledge of atmospheric physics, I can tell you that, indeed, the science is settled, but not the way the AGW extremists would have you believe. Atmospheric […]
By Doug L. Hoffman – It is Earth Day today, a chance for all tree huggers, green activists and other self absorbed eco-types to feel good about themselves by disparaging their neighbors. There was a time when environmental issues were rightfully at the top of people’s concerns—the skies above our cities were brown and noxious, […]
We’re thinking we’ll get our burritos at Baja Sol from now on By Michael Bastasch Holy moly! Chipotle Mexican Grill may stop serving certain items, including the ever-popular guacamole, because of global warming. And Chipotle would rather cut menu items than pay higher prices for locally grown goods. According to the company’s SEC filings, food […]
