Climate alarmists’ response when the facts don’t fit the narrative they’ve been pushing for two decades is to suppress the facts by killing the messengers. Today you kill bearers of inconvenient truths not with an ax to the back of the neck but by de-platforming them. Climate alarmists are the true science deniers, promoting model…

Eminent Climate Scientist Denounces Demonization of CO2, Sees Dangerous Results
The Global Warming Forum has published a paper by MIT emeritus meteorologist Richard Lindzen, An Assessment of the Conventional Global Warming Narrative. The results of the current one-dimensional view of the greenhouse effect could be disastrous, says Lindzen. “This all leaves us with a quasi-religious movement predicated on an absurd ‘scientific’ narrative. The policies invoked…
Australia’s Great Coral Reef Is Alive and Well. Why Hide That Fact?
(This file has been updated.) Peter Ridd, who examined current data about Australia’s Great Coral Reef, demolishes fears that the reef is sick or dying. He asks why the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) is obscuring that fact by failing to aggregate the data. However, perhaps recognizing that Ridd (a controversial figure) was studying…
Tributes to Pat Michaels
Patrick Michaels, scholar, honest commentator on climate change, and a guy with an outstanding sense of humor, died July 16. He was a climate realist, sometimes calling himself a “lukewarmer” —indicating that he recognized the presence of global warming but that it was not an existential threat. Here are recent tributes: From the Competitive Enterprise…
Latest IPCC Report Full of Errors
The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), issued in February, is full of flaws, says Roger Pielke, Jr., professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. The report, called Working Group 2 (or WG2), is supposed to focus on the “Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability” of a changing climate. Pielke…
A Half-Century of Disproven Pessimism
Writing on his blog Master Resource, Robert L. Bradley, Jr. points out that “an optimistic view of future climate has a strong basis in settled science (CO2 fertilization, modest primary warming), just as climate pessimistic has a more speculative basis (as in debated feedback effects to elevate the initial warming).” Bradley reviews “the poor track…
