Study: No global warming in the past 15 years

Is global cooling next? According to the Mailonline: The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years. The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the... Read more »

According to the Christian Science Monitor: Auroras may dazzle more people than usual this weekend as Earth receives a glancing blow from an enormous solar outburst that erupted on Jan. 19. The outburst, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), was detected by sun-watching satellites. Researchers... Read more »

Startling finding: More energy is frozen in methane deposits in the Arctic than all the known fossil fuels combined

Whoa, that’s quite a claim. But scientists and environmentalists have known it for a while, at least since 2005 when those deposits were confirmed. But it seems to have escaped public attention. Especially when it comes to the debate that pits renewable and green sources against fossil fuels, such as petroleum, coal and natural gas... Read more »

Another wrong global warming prediction that was never to be doubted

This one is from Britain’s Met Office (originally an abbreviation for Meteorological Office, the nation’s weather and climate forecaster). Turns out that none of the office’s global warming predictions have been correct, forcing it to “move the goalposts” in an attempt to retain some credibility. Here’s the analysis from the Global Warming Policy Center, an organization that has... Read more »

Global warming impacts may be inflated: scientific article

No, this is not an article written by a “climate change denier.” It is a peer-reviewed article in the respected journal science. To quote directly from the article’s synopsis: Assuming paleoclimatic constraints apply to the future as predicted by our model, these results imply lower probability of imminent extreme climatic change than previously thought. Basically... Read more »

Corporations: Pull that $1 trillion out from under the mattress

And more on global warming. Washington, abetted by President Barack Obama’s scheduled lecture to Congress on Thursday, is abuzz with schemes for government to light a fire under the economy. Forget it. Government can’t do more. It has injected some $1 trillion into the economy to ignite the fire, but it’s far from smoking. And... Read more »

The real science bashers are found in the Church of Global Warming

Today I am writing about religion. Specifically, about those who worship in the Church of the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming. More specifically, about those who, as a matter of faith, believe that the science of climate change is settled. These believers preach that mankind is steering the planet onto an irreversible and cataclysmic course unless... Read more »

Feds subsidize Chicago and other illegal immigration sanctuaries

What sense does this make: Chicago (Cook County) and a number of other jurisdictions have policies that obstruct federal immigration law enforcement or encouraging illegal settlement. At the same time, the Justice Department is handing out millions of dollars to the same jurisdictions to compensate for the cost of jailing illegal aliens. The Center for... Read more »

I ain't paying

As politically correct it has become to “do something” about global warming, most voters don’t want to pay for it. As if it comes as a surprise. A new Rasmussen poll finds: Most U.S. voters think it is at least somewhat important for Congress to pass major energy legislation aimed at reducing global warming this... Read more »
