Fred Singer, a battle-seasoned warrior of the climate science debates, died last year at the age of 95. The third edition of his highly readable and scientifically sound book, Hot Talk, Cold Science, has just been published, by the Independent Institute. David R. Legates and Anthony R. Lupo are coauthors who also wrote an afterword….

Nuclear energy may be safer than we think, says a new study from the Global Warming Policy Foundation. A reason to support the Great American Outdoors bill, just passed by the Senate: it would fund maintenance of our national parks, says PERC’s Brian Yablonski on Fox News. Religious diversion? The Vatican recommends divestment from fossil…
‘Shenanigans Continue in Climate Science’
Roger Pielke, Jr., describes how a peer-reviewed paper about climate change is being retracted by a scientific journal —for no legitimate reason.
“A Critical Assessment of Extreme Events Trends in Times of Global Warming” was written by Galluca Almonti and colleagues and published in January 2022 in the journal European Physical Journal Plus (EPJP).
The retraction process started because several scientists were quoted by the media (the leftwing Guardian, and one or two others) as saying it was faulty.
Friday Links: From “Green Energy” Credits to Climate Resilience in Coastal Areas
- The Washington Post expresses doubts about “green energy” credits.
- More anxiety about the power grid. (The fault, says Axios, is the hot weather anticipated this summer.)
- The Biden administration doles out staggering amounts of money:
- It lends $9.5 billion to Ford to make batteries for electric vehicles.
- Plans to spend nearly $1 billion to electrify federal buildings.
- Will hand out $575 million for “climate resilience” in coastal communities.
Biden Is Counting on Unproven Technologies to Meet Climate Goals
Thanks to Rachel Frazin of The Hill, we have a good idea of the flimsiness of the EPA’s recent proposed ruling on coal- and gas-fired power plants. She observes that under the ruling, coal-fired power plants must cut their carbon dioxide emissions by 90 percent by 2030 if they expect to operate beyond 2039, while…
