MIT Professor: Global Warming is a ‘Religion’
By Michael Bastasch Throughout history, governments have twisted science to suit a political agenda. Global warming is no different, according to Dr. Richard Lindzen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “Global climate alarmism has been costly to society, and it has the potential to be vastly more costly. It has also been damaging to science, […]
Global Population of Polar Bears has Increased by 2,500 – 5,700 since 2001
By Susan Crockford, PhD The official population estimates generated by the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG) give the impression that the global total of polar bears has not changed appreciably since 2001: 2001 PBSG report 21,500-25,000 2005 PBSG report 20,000-25,000 2009 PBSG report 20,000-25,000 2013 PBSG website 20,000-25,000 However, some accounting changes were […]
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 […]
Climate Change Likened to Atom Bomb by Scientists
By Pauline Beart Climate scientists have given figures of rising and changing climate. These figures are almost like a warning that states that escalating temperatures are equivalent to four Hiroshima bombs in a week. They’ve completely attributed the condition to human actions. This is not an unknown fact that humans have been emitting more carbon […]
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 […]
Second Coldest Spring in US History
According to NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), 2013 brought us the second latest start to spring spring in US history. The only recorded year in which the beginning of spring was colder was 1975. Probably not coincidentally, it was in April of 1975 when Newsweek published its infamous “The Cooling World” feature. See the […]
Climate Science Humiliated…Earlier Model Prognoses Of Warmer Winters Now Today’s Laughingstocks
by P. Gosselin, and NTZ reader Jimbo “The Earth has a fever,” we were told. “The science is settled and the debate is over. Scientists are unanimous – 97% of them agree: climate change is real, and is happening now, and we’ve got to act quickly.” Over more than two decades we were told again and again that […]
Warmest Temperatures In 4,000 Years? Not So Fast, Global Warming Alarmists
By James Taylor The mainstream media are reporting in breathless fashion about a new paper claiming current temperatures are their warmest in 4,000 years. Already, however, objective scientists are reporting serious flaws in the paper. The media may wish to paint a picture of runaway global warming, but the science tells a completely different story. […]
In Their Own Words: Climate Alarmists Debunk Their "Science"
By: Larry Bell President Obama has put salvation from dreaded climate catastrophes on his action agenda hot list. During his inaugural address he said: “We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations.” He went on to shame anyone who disagrees […]
More Settled Science: Wrong about Ice Melt in Greenland, Sea-Rise
By: John Ransom New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences tends to now show that ice melt estimates previously calculated for Greenland have not significantly accelerated- as has been previously postulated- nor has the melt contributed in a meaningful way to the rise of sea levels. Recently, much of the […]
Global Warming Sky Still Falling, CNN Assures
By Mike Ciandella James Hansen’s been screaming for years that the sky is falling. For years, the Sky has refused to fall. But that’s OK with CNN. CNN ran a story promoting a Washington Post opinion piece written by Hansen, on Aug. 3. Hansen is an outspoken global warming activist, and a director at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

The Godfather of Global Warming Lowers the Boom on Climate Change Hysteria
Green Drivel Exposed By Lorrie Goldstein Two months ago, James Lovelock, the godfather of global warming, gave a startling interview to msnbc.com in which he acknowledged he had been unduly “alarmist” about climate change. The implications were extraordinary. Lovelock is a world-renowned scientist and environmentalist whose Gaia theory — that the Earth operates as a […]
