The lack of global warming over this century in the measurements of ground and deep oceans temperatures and the lack of positive acceleration in the measurements of sea levels suggest that the climate models have greatly exaggerated the influence of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission, | 5 |
Troy is forecast to be 22 degrees cooler today than it was on the same day in 1926. Experts tell us that this dramatic reduction in temperature since 1926 is due to man-made global warming. | 1 |
The Paris Agreement would also handicap America in the global race for new sources of energy . | 4 |
No Need to Panic on Climate Change“:25“As surely as temperatures rise during the summer, climate alarmism serves up more stories of life-threatening heat domes, apocalyptic fires and biblical floods, all blamed squarely on global warming. Yet, the data to prove this link is often cherry-picked, and the proposed policy ... | 5 |
I want to remind you what climate actually is. What kind of expertise [you need to study it]. If you want to study climate just because of carbon dioxide, I’m sorry, it’s still not enough to study only the atmosphere. You’ve got to know all of this bunch of stuff. This is part of the reason why the struggle for answer ... | 0 |
Utilizing 20th century technologies , humans effectively adapted to global sea level rise . Utilizing 21st century technologies , humans will be even better equipped to adapt to global sea level rise . | 4 |
The basis of most of the IPCC conclusions on anthropogenic causes and on projections of climatic change is the assumption of low level of CO2 in the pre-industrial atmosphere. This assumption, based on glaciological studies, is false. Therefore IPCC projections should not be used for national and global economic planni... | 5 |
In fact, researchers have never established a connection between climate change and extreme weather events. | 5 |
If you dig into the data, there’s absolutely no climate crisis, and the weather’s not getting worse, and CO2 isn’t the climate control knob,” Nelson said. “Just about everything that they’re telling you is a lie. And anything alarming they’re telling you, everything is a lie. There’s nothing alarming at all happening w... | 1 |
The truth is the polar bear population has increased from about 6,000 – 8,000 in the 1960s to 25,000 – 28,000 today. […] We know polar bears survived the last interglacial period, the Eemian, 110,000 years ago, which was warmer than the current Holocene interglacial period. But photos of old starving bears, bears suppo... | 3 |
You assert AGW/CAGW so the burden of proof is on you to cite verifiable scientific evidence showing that human CO2/GHG emissions are the cause of climate change and you have repeatedly failed to cite any such evidence. | 2 |
The biggest threat to American energy independence comes from […] the environmental movement and the assortment of government agencies with which the environmental movement has been cooperating now for decades. You see, what is a blessing for landowners in the Marcellus Shale area (with the sad exception of New York, b... | 4 |
This is a historic moment in the global debate about climate change… The translation and publication of a comprehensive critique of the IPPC’s alarmist reports by a leading national academy of sciences is one more sign of the trend toward skepticism and away from alarmism. | 6 |
A lot of the scientists who are studying global change and studying the effects of greenhouse gases, many of them feel that the Earth’s atmosphere in 100 years is what Biosphere 2’s atmosphere is today, | 0 |
A few of the bills also address global warming. I would like to point out that according to the new Farmers’ Almanac released this week and its time-honored, complex calculations that it uses to predict weather, they predict we will be in for a colder than normal winter. In addition, they suggest that based on a study ... | 1 |
The Washington Post continues to make a fool of itself by playing stenographer to the most radical fringe of the environmental movement,” Heartland’s former president Joe Bast wrote in conclusion. “Prof. Legates is a fine man with a distinguished academic career, his appointment at NOAA may be a long-overdue attempt to... | 6 |
Although the EPA assumes a price of $15 per ton during the early years of the program, the market doesn't support that price, at least not today. | 0 |
More and more, the leaders of the environmental movement — the ‘Kings of Green’ — are emerging as a pathetic mix of liars, frauds, hucksters, and hypocrites who are more concerned with lining their pockets off environmental hysteria than actually protecting Mother Nature. | 6 |
Green sympathizers probably can be classified in 3 primary categories: 1) people who want to nanny and boss everyone around, 2) people who want to be nannied and bossed around, and 3) the many gullible who actually believe the climate catastrophe scam. | 6 |
People have made a mistake. They’ve started to believe that humans are causing climate variation, whereas the climate variation clearly is natural in cause. | 2 |
Who’s in denial here? The people who say we can get along as we have today by him fully embracing renewable energy and dismissing coal, oil, gas, and nuclear power. | 4 |
I am just not for giving public companies who have shareholders, public dollars, free, when I know they’re going to be very profitable at the end whatever we do, | 0 |
Even according the IPCCs faulty models, if Australia stopped all emissions of carbon dioxide from tomorrow, the total effect on the temperature in 2050 would be to theoretically lower it by 0.0154 C. | 4 |
The products that are made from oil and gas and basically coal that would fire electrical generators and all that kind of stuff, with that technology, we’d be able to conquer whatever climate change happened to be. If we rose by a couple of degrees or we lowered by a couple of degrees, we’d be able to do something with... | 4 |
How could that be? Cherry says theres been an implicit assumption that because electric cars dont burn fossil fuels, theyre cleaner for the environment and safer for people, but that doesnt take into account how the electricity they use is generated. In China, that would be from you guessed it fossil fuels. About 85% o... | 7 |
Boy, you get me going on the Covid thing. I don’t like the fact that you quarantine healthy people. You don’t quarantine healthy people. I’m not dismissing the fact that this thing is contagious. Of course it’s contagious. So is the common flu and so is the common cold. We’ve had a vaccine for the flu for seventy eight... | 0 |
Anyway, once these bans on ‘conversion therapy’ become common, how long before it is ruled illegal for a man to claim he is a ‘former gay’ or to tell children they have a ‘choice’? Well, these are just the kind of things you can expect in a corrupt democracy. ‘Truth’ is decided by vote. | 0 |
Another issue: most people die from cold deaths, not heat deaths. And so when temperatures increase, we’re going to see about 400,000 more heat deaths because of global warming by mid-century, you hear a lot about those, but you’re probably going to see 1.8 million fewer cold deaths. | 3 |
There has been no temperature trend over the last 15 or so years despite increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG), | 5 |
I am not convinced that higher taxes are the answer. For example, something like the climate change levy, I have a concern in the way that it has impacted companies in the north of England. It has driven manufacturing jobs overseas to other countries that aren’t as stringent as we are in terms of cutting back CO2 emiss... | 4 |
I'm sure that was likely as reliable as the so called science of climate change we are assaulted with daily. | 5 |
Well, I don’t like the language itself, especially the made-up ones, the manufactured word ze or zir and that sort of thing. I don’t regard them as legitimate words; I regard those as the ideological construct of radicals who hold a view of the world I find disturbing and dangerous as well as impractical and narrow-min... | 0 |
Therein lies a principle. So theoretically if the molecules of Carbon Dioxide gas are hotter than the other gases, then theoretically it might be possible for the teeniest-weeniest warming to occur. But it is as remote as swimmers off the coasts of the Riviera who might occasionally piddle while bathing; it is as remot... | 5 |
So how did they get it so wrong that back in the 70s they said we were coming into an "ice age"? | 1 |
In recent years, the perceived need by global warming alarmists to adjust the data has increased dramatically. The leveling off of world temperatures in the unadjusted temperature record is in stark contrast to the accelerating warming forecast by the IPCC climate models. This hiatus in global warming has been an embar... | 5 |
In answer to the first question, we know that natural fluctuations in the Earth’s temperature have occurred throughout history – with wide temperature swings. The ice ages are a good example, | 2 |
We also have to keep in mind that most of the greenhouse effect comes from natural sources, especially water vapor. Less than a quarter is from carbon dioxide, and, of this, only four percent of the carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere is due to human activities – 96 percent comes from nature. | 2 |
And on the climate change issue, just a little anecdote, when I first heard about this was when I was working at Forbes Magazine, and somebody was saying, well, they’re claiming that we’re going to warm up the climate, and it’s going to get up to about nine degrees warmer. And I turned to the person and I said, you mea... | 3 |
The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology (the Committee) is troubled by the Security and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) recently announced investigation of Exxon Mobil Corporation (Exxon)” the letter reads. “It appears from press accounts that the SEC’s investigative actions, which date back to at least Augus... | 6 |

In a comprehensive examination … we have no justifiable causal CO2 global warming, but periodic temperature fluctuations [of] normal proportions. Accordingly, the atmosphere since 1998 – so for 10 years – [has] not warmed since 2003 and it is actually much cooler again. | 1 |
No such thing as climate change! | 1 |

What all these papers argue in their different ways is that the alarmist version of global warming aka Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) is a fake artefact. | 6 |
Climate scientists have a vested interest in discovering human-induced adverse spillovers from market based economic activity. The global warming agenda, cultivated over the past 30 years, has catapulted scientists from white-coated boffins who were decidedly low on the public sector pecking order, to the arbiters of n... | 6 |
Given the continuing uncertainties and disputes regarding the causes and possible effects of increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, and the effectiveness and economic and societal consequences of any chosen response, Congress has held over 200 hearings, enacted at least a half dozen statutes, and taken other a... | 5 |

AFPM acknowledges climate change is real and is committed to the development of sound policies that enable our members to supply the fuel and petrochemicals that growing global populations and economies need to thrive, and to do so in an environmentally sustainable way. | 0 |
More than 100 climate models over the past 30 years did not predict what actually happened because it was assumed carbon dioxide had the pivotal role in driving climate change and that the effects of clouds, back-radiation and the sun were trivial. | 5 |

I never felt that Bush was anti-environmental so much as clueless about the environment,” said Kramer. “I see Perry as more proactively carrying out an anti-environmental agenda primarily for political purposes. | 0 |
It’s time someone explained to St Greta and Extinction Rebellion that they are simply wrong about the world we inhabit. No, this is not an attempt to deny climate change.

Cooling trends have been "homogenised" to warming trends. | 5 |
For environmentalists it's money for their organizations and confirmation of their near religious devotion to the idea that man is a destructive force acting upon nature. | 6 |
A really truly clean energy source will make the environment cleaner than if it weren’t being used. Well, if we weren’t using oil, if we weren’t using natural gas, what would we be using? | 7 |
Farris and Dan Wilks, who believe their billions were given to them by God, have spent the last decade working to advance a dominionist ideology by funding far-right organizations and politicians that seek to dismiss climate change as ‘God’s will’, remove choice, demonize the LGBTQ community, and tear down public educa... | 6 |
For most of the Holocene (last 10k years), sea level has been rising at a rate of around 2mm per year. Climate change has little to do with it - it's simply a long term inevitability which will end when the current interglacial returns to a glacial period (which we will regret). | 1 |
Scientists are also expecting a "huge reduction" in solar activity for 33 years between 2020 and 2053 that will cause thermometers to crash. | 2 |
In reality, the Canadian oil will be produced, and the only questions are where it will be refined and at what higher cost, | 7 |
Just think of what the answer to every climate change problem is.... Money and regulation. How is money going to make the air cleaner or reduce CO2? The rich and powerful fly around on their private jets creating a larger carbon footprint in a week than most of us in 10 years. | 4 |
Holy sh*t. This would be like giving a monkey a machete […] Letting Jim Ratcliffe loose on all the operators who feed into that pipeline is a dangerous, dangerous ploy. | 0 |
An English judge previously ruled that Gore's book is partisan, biased, and contains many factual errors, even though he shared Gore's belief that man is causing global warming. | 6 |
The death of the divestment movement is not a total victory. The environmental left has been badly wounded, but it is not dead,” Peterson said during her speech at the Heartland Institute’s America First Energy Conference in 2018. | 0 |
Everyone will have been aware that the weather events of this summer reinforce the nature of climate change and it poses a challenge to us all. Not only do we need to make sure that we produce less carbon into our atmosphere, that greenhouse gas emissions drop, we also need to take steps to deal with that change in our... | 0 |

While fossil fuels remain the very foundation of modern economic growth, spreading prosperity and a decent quality of life, they are no longer seen in that light. Rather, they are perceived as undesirable, outright dangerous, or even immoral, since their continuing use is thought to pose an unprecedented threat to the ... | 6 |
That is why a religious woman who is pregnant but does not wish to be is far less likely to have an abortion than a secular woman in the same circumstances. Her values are higher than her feelings. And that, in a nutshell, is what our culture war is about—Judeo-Christian values versus liberal/leftist feelings. | 0 |
The comment about ‘we shouldn’t question the science,’ no. We should encourage people to discuss the science, but do it in a deep way and not with slogans like the 97% consensus, which is another one of these phoney statistics that emerges. | 5 |
As a scientific matter, there is no question about what happens in an abortion: A living individual human organism is put to death at an early stage of development. No amount of metaphysical hand-waving about ‘personhood’ is going to change that. | 0 |
So global warming is dead, nailed into its coffin one devastating disclosure, defection and re-evaluation at a time. Which means that pretty soon we’re going to need another apocalyptic scare to take its place, | 1 |
That seems like an eye-watering figure, or in Lomborg’s words ‘spectacularly costly’ The cited figure does appear in a supplementary section of the paper. But the authors of the study (which actually appeared in Nature Climate Change, not Nature) have told Temperature Check they have been asking Lomborg since early Nov... | 4 |
With the European Union’s reclassification of nuclear and natural gas as ‘green’, and the UK likely to follow, the Government’s policies are outpacing and undermining their educational texts. Is this a tacit admission that ploughing resources into AGW is wrong? Or is it a pragmatic policy change overriding a confected ... | 6 |
“CO2 is certainly a heat-trapping greenhouse gas, but hardly the primary one: Water vapor accounts for about 95 percent of greenhouse gases. By contrast, carbon dioxide is only a trace component in the atmosphere: about 400 ppm (parts per million), or 0.04 percent.” | 2 |
It would then become clear that the simple equation that CO2 and other man-made greenhouse gases are almost exclusively responsible for climate change is unsustainable. It hasn’t gotten any warmer on this planet in almost 14 years, despite continued increases in CO2 emissions. Established climate science has to come up... | 1 |
We do not call our science a theory. It’s actually a discovery. So, we made a discovery and out of this discovery comes some equations and comes a theory. Um, I did want to say that you know, basically, right now our discovery and our theory is pretty much not accepted by the scientific community. And when I say scient... | 5 |
For decades, conventional wisdom has been that America was in a state of decline. This drumbeat, repeated relentlessly, held that raw-material scarcity and resource consumption would doom America. Costs would inexorably rise and resources would become more scarce. Indeed costs did rise. But the truth is that the politi... | 7 |
So much for climate change or global warming endangering human lives…but what about the snow and cold weather? Global freezing, anyone? | 1 |
So it’s not going to have any effect on climate. I’m not quite sure what they’re trying to accomplish. I just assume this is more virtue signaling/resistance activity going on. | 4 |
Climate change will be solved not by making fossil energy unaffordable, but by innovating the price of green technologies downward so that everyone can afford the switch. | 0 |

The lack of warming for more than a decade—indeed, the smaller-than-predicted warming over the 22 years since the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections—suggests that computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause. Faced with this embarrassm... | 5 |
