Over at FiveThirtyEight, True Believer Nate Silver is a wee bit upset about something John Hinderaker wrote about the cool period in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which John compared to the Year Without A Summer (1816,) which, yes, is a stretch. Nate goes to lengths to point out that the average temperature has been pretty much right […]

Well, now that the USA Today asks, yes. There is no doubt that global warming has occured. The Little Ice Age ended because of a warming planet. The seas continued their 6-8 inch rise per century, as had been going on for 7,500 years. Other planets, such as Mars and Jupiter, have seen increased temperatures. […]

Apparently, when Obama said that he wanted to put science ahead of a political agenda, the science was that of the 2nd Century. Let’s start with U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu “For the first time in human history, science has shown that we are altering the destiny of our planet. At no other time in […]

With the passage of the massively insane Waxman-Markey cap and tax bill, here are four questions to ask those who support it, particularly the politicians who voted for it and AGW leaders such as Al Gore 1. Did you read the bill before throwing your support behind it? Did you read the 300 page dead of […]

Who were the losers in the cap and tax bill? Anyone who pays an electric bill would likely feel the impact of climate legislation. Utilities will try to raise rates as they invest in cleaner-yet-more-expensive energy sources. Some have already announced plans to do so. Petroleum companies also may try to import more of their refined gas […]

Time and time again, I and others have pointed out that the whole anthropogenic global warming silliness is not about “saving the planet from mankind,” but about control. People might have believed in it a bit more if the people who pushed it the hardest weren’t the worst CO2 offenders, but, regardless, let’s ask John […]

Resisting yet another Obama post (this time, the NY Times gently calls him a liar). It’s difficult. Guy gives a constant stream of copy. So, let’s jump into the realm of global warming hysteria, shall we? First up, the Sun, that big ball of nuclear fire that, according to most Climahysterics, can’t possibly have anything to […]

Nothing like starting your Tuesday with some doom and gloom from Climahysterics, eh? The impact of a changing climate is already being felt across the United States, like shifting migration patterns of butterflies in the West and heavier downpours in the Midwest and East, according to a government study to be released on Tuesday. I […]

Long have I maintained that the majority of the anthropogenic global warming craze is like some sort of political pet rock love. Let’s compare and contrast statements, shall we? The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is widely regarded in the media as the ultimate authority on climate change. Created by two divisions of the […]

Oh, really? Climate change kills about 315,000 people a year through hunger, sickness and weather disasters, and the annual death toll is expected to rise to half a million by 2030, a report said on Friday. The study, commissioned by the Geneva-based Global Humanitarian Forum (GHF), estimates that climate change seriously affects 325 million people […]
