Anthropogenic global cooling causes everything, you know, as highlighted by the Fish Wrap’s Justin Gillis In an article this week on the relentless rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, I outlined one of the canonical projections of climate science: if the amount of carbon dioxide doubles, the average surface temperature of the earth is […]

What’s your guess? Rivers may be a significant source of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide, scientists now find. Their calculation suggests that across the globe the waterways contribute three times the amount of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere as had been estimated by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations scientific body […]

Brought to you by the word “could” Shrinking ice sheets in the Arctic Ocean could be promoting breeding between different species, creating hybrid whales and bears, according to a paper published on Thursday in the journal Nature. “Could be.” This isn’t science, it’s simply conjecture. As global temperatures rise, scientists have noted that sea ice […]

You said you wanted more hysteria, here you go In the next decade, the effects of a rapidly warming climate could kill 5 million people—as many as live in Singapore or Finland. More than 99 percent of those deaths will likely occur in developing countries, and almost four-fifths are expected to happen in South Asia […]

Unshockingly, this breathless report comes from a reporter in…….exotic Cancun, Mexico, rather than from the Marshall Islands CANCUN, Mexico – Encroaching seas in the far Pacific are raising the salt level in the wells of the Marshall Islands. Waves threaten to cut one sliver of an island in two. “It’s getting worse,” says Kaminaga Kaminaga, […]

Obviously, the correct thing to do if your pet cult is dying is to provide more scientific proof, right? RIGHT? The number of Americans who believe that global warming is a scientific fact has been dropping, and environmental groups and climate scientists who say the evidence for warming is clear are scratching their heads over […]

It’s simply amazing what greenhouse gases can do, isn’t it? From jolly ole England As a blanket of snow settles across the country, train services grind to a halt and roads become impassable, you could be forgiven for thinking that global warming seems more remote than ever. But yesterday, the World Meteorological Organisation announced that […]

Yet more hysteria. And, bad science. Very bad science One of Earth’s biggest stores of carbon dioxide sits locked within the decaying vegetation found in peatlands, which range from tropical peat swamps to Arctic permafrost. A fast-warming world could transform those peatlands into a “compost bomb” that would dump huge amounts of carbon into the […]

Sometimes I think I should type these posts in all CAPS to match the hysteria of the Cult Of Gore disciples Even if we stopped spewing global warming gases today, the world would face a steady rise in food prices this century. But on our current emissions path, climate change becomes the “threat multiplier” that […]

The Washington Post highlights the potential change in tactics by the alarmists (in order to continue on the path for more control of people and economies, along with redistribution of wealth, especially to their own pockets, ala Al Gore) Many policymakers and business leaders have come to see the most basic method of slowing global […]
