Climate science is not well developed but is quite clear on some matters despite the continued attempts by climate alarmists to obfuscate it. There is currently nothing to worry about climate except the slow descent into the next ice age after some time geologically speaking. Humans have multiplied and developed rapidly during the current warm
Climate alarmism is probably the most insidious, largest, and most dangerous scam ever perpetrated on the American public and most of the developed world. Unless brought down by reality, it is now reaching such dimensions that it could even end the position of the current developed countries as the primary engine for economic and technological
The current unilateral US decarbonization proposals by various Democrats promoting the Green New Deal (GND) climate schemes suffer from two particularly crucial assumptions that they have made. One is the extremely doubtful assumption that CO2 levels determine temperatures as opposed to temperatures determining CO2 levels. The assumption being made is that it is the atmospheric
The basic position of the climate “environmentalists” (CEs) on energy has long been that CO2 emissions should be drastically reduced (which, they claim, would reduce global temperatures). They are trying to achieve this while being anti-nuclear, anti-fracking, and anti-fossil fuels. They instead favor “renewables” except hydro power. They favor government intervention to achieve these energy
The Green New Deal (GND) has been costed at almost $100 trillion by very knowledgeable experts, or about half of total gross national product over the ten years involved. Representative Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Markey claim that it will save the world. There is a little problem, however. The best scientific evidence is that there would
There is now little doubt that climate will be a major issue in the 2020 Presidential election. Now that former Vice President Biden has put forth an aggressive, left-wing program to waste enormous resources on trying to reduce US carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, it is hard to see how the US can avoid a contentious
As discussed last week, the Climate Socialists in the US Democratic Party ultimate objective appears to be to replace capitalism by socialism. It is clear, however, that Socialism has a dismal record both in leading to environmental problems and in inadequate development and use of sensitive but highly productive new techniques. The environmental records of
In case anyone had any doubts as to what the climate movement is trying to do, the climate socialists have now told us. The aim is to transform the US from a capitalist economy into a socialistic one. In recent months various Far Left Democrats have produced blueprints as to what this would look like,
Two weeks ago I explained how four major nations have moved their climate policy rightward. This week brought similar developments in three additional countries, namely, Brazil, Australia, and possibly Indonesia. Perhaps the most significant was Australia, where the election last week was fought in a substantial way on the basis of climate policy. But the
Two climate developments this week could prove to be significant. First, USEPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler implied that there might be a larger review of climate science. Second, Sanjeev Sabhlok published an opinion piece in the Times of India arguing that climate science was not really a science as yet and should not be used to
