By John Hayward – As a massive blanket of arctic air brings twenty-year record cold temperatures to the United States, it’s not surprising to see the Church of Global Warming in full-on shrieking panic mode, screaming at the top of their lungs that a blast of cold weather doesn’t disprove their theories. Well, no, of […]

Antarctic ice shelf melt 'lowest EVER recorded, global warming is NOT eroding it'
Human CO2 just not a big deal at Pine Island Glacier By Lewis Page – Scientists at the British Antarctic Survey say that the melting of the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf in Antarctica has suddenly slowed right down in the last few years, confirming earlier research which suggested that the shelf’s melt does not […]
Global Warming Skeptic Buries Sierra Club Director under Avalanche of Facts
By Brendan Bordelon – Marc Morano, a global warming skeptic and the editor of ClimateDepot.com, fought the climate sob stories peddled by Sierra Club Director Michael Brune with cold, hard facts on CNN Tuesday night. “‘Global weirding’ is nothing more than a pseudoscience expression,” he said on Don Lemon’s “11th Hour,” pushing back against Lemon’s […]
Sun’s magnetic field affects weather as far south as North Africa
By Nadya Anscombe The Sun’s fluctuating magnetic field has a greater influence on our weather system than at first thought, according to researchers from the British Antarctic Survey. It has long been known that fluctuations in the solar wind result in meteorological effects on Earth, but Mai Mai Lam and her colleagues believe that these […]
"Extreme weather" does not justify extreme political agenda (Opinion from Sen. Jeff Sessions)
By Senator Jeff Sessions It has been eight years since the last major hurricane struck the United States—a lull that experts call an “extended and intense hurricane drought,” the longest such drought since reliable records began in the 19th century. This is welcome news for Alabamians. The nation still remembers Hurricane Camille (a Category 5 […]
World's top climate scientists told to 'cover up' the fact that the Earth's temperature hasn't risen for the last 15 years
By: Tamara Cohen Scientists working on the most authoritative study on climate change were urged to cover up the fact that the world’s temperature hasn’t risen for the last 15 years, it is claimed. A leaked copy of a United Nations report, compiled by hundreds of scientists, shows politicians in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and the […]
Sun’s Bizarre Activity may Trigger Another Ice Age
Latest data shows solar activity has been falling steadily since mid-1940s By Dick Ahlstrom The sun is acting bizarrely and scientists have no idea why. Solar activity is in gradual decline, a change from the norm which in the past triggered a 300-year-long mini ice age. Three leading solar scientists presented the very latest data […]
American Geophysical Union Scraps Science, Now Faith Based
By Norman Rogers I recently attended a 3-day science policy conference sponsored by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The AGU is an association of 62,000 scientists who study the Earth. Although the conference was allegedly about science policy, it resembled a cross between a Scientology rally and a workshop for lobbyists from the Mohair Council […]
Global Warming? Temperature up 'very close to zero' over 15 Years
By Penny Starr In a June 20 interview with Spiegel Online, German climate scientist Hans von Storch said that despite predictions of a warming planet the temperature data for the past 15 years shows an increase of 0.06 or “very close to zero.” “That hasn’t happened,” Storch said. “In fact, the increase over the last […]
NYT: Global Warming Halted Because… We're Lucky
By Michael Bastasch The New York Times has attempted to explain the slowdown in global warming over the last fifteen years. Their answer: We’re just lucky. “As unlikely as this may sound, we have lucked out in recent years when it comes to global warming,” writes the NYT’s Justin Gillis. “The slowdown is a bit […]
Global warming caused by chlorofluorocarbons, not carbon dioxide, new study says
University of Waterloo press release. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are to blame for global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide, according to new research from the University of Waterloo published in the International Journal of Modern Physics B this week. CFCs are already known to deplete ozone, but in-depth statistical analysis now shows that CFCs […]
Obama administration gives wind farms a pass on eagle deaths, prosecutes oil companies
Published May 14, 2013, Associated Press CONVERSE COUNTY, Wyo. – The Obama administration has never fined or prosecuted a wind farm for killing eagles and other protected bird species, shielding the industry from liability and helping keep the scope of the deaths secret, an Associated Press investigation has found. More than 573,000 birds are killed […]
In Defense of Carbon Dioxide
By Harrison H. Schmitt and William Happer Of all of the world’s chemical compounds, none has a worse reputation than carbon dioxide. Thanks to the single-minded demonization of this natural and essential atmospheric gas by advocates of government control of energy production, the conventional wisdom about carbon dioxide is that it is a dangerous pollutant. […]
Earth Day Lesson: Environment is not Climate
By Thomas P. Sheahen Earth Day is here again, but few people seem interested any more in global warming. It’s plausible to inquire whether people realize we’ve got a duty to protect the environment. Actually, “protecting the environment” is not necessarily the same topic as “global warming.” Confusion about the two needs to be cleared […]
Climate scientists struggle to explain warming slowdown
By: By Environment Correspondent Alister Doyle (Reuters) – Scientists are struggling to explain a slowdown in climate change that has exposed gaps in their understanding and defies a rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. Often focused on century-long trends, most climate models failed to predict that the temperature rise would slow, starting around 2000. Scientists […]
