Meltdown of the climate 'consensus'

9/1/2010 12:00:00 AM

If this keeps up, no one's going to trust any scientists.The global-warming establishment took a body blow this week, as the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change received a stunning rebuke from a top-notch independent investigation.

Prominent Princeton Scientist Dr. Happer Testifies to Congress

5/21/2010 12:00:00 AM

My name is William Happer, and I am the Cyrus Fogg Bracket Professor of Physics at Princeton University. I have spent my professional life studying the interactions of visible and infrared radiation with gases – one of the main physical phenomena behind the greenhouse effect.

Plants need more CO2, not less

11/4/2009 12:00:00 AM

Congress and federal regulators are poised to make a misguided and reckless decision that will stifle our economy recovery and spur long- term damage to plant and animal life on earth.

In the coming months, the Environmental Protection Agency will hold hearings to justify the movement to brand carbon dioxide (CO2) as a pollutant.

Utah governor says climate change debate not over

8/28/2009 12:00:00 AM

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Gov. Gary Herbert says he will host the first “legitimate” debate about whether humans contribute to global warming later this year, highlighting skepticism on the topic that is quickly coming to define his new administration.

U.N. Crying “Wolf” on Climate Change?

8/13/2009 12:00:00 AM

From June 30,1989:
A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

No Influence of ‘Global Warming’ on Atlantic Hurricane Numbers

8/11/2009 12:00:00 AM

A NOAA-led team of scientists has found that the apparent increase in the number of tropical storms and hurricanes since the late 19th and early 20th centuries is likely attributable to improvements in observational tools and analysis techniques that better detect short-lived storms.

Pine trees grow better under elevated CO2 conditions

8/6/2009 12:00:00 AM

Pine trees grown for 12 years in air one-and-a-half times richer in carbon dioxide than today's levels produced twice as many seeds of at least as good a quality as those growing under normal conditions, a Duke University-led research team reported Aug. 3 at a national ecology conference.

Cosmic Rays Have Significant Climate Effect

8/6/2009 12:00:00 AM

The major conclusion: "A link between the Sun, cosmic rays, aerosols, and liquid-water clouds appears to exist on a global scale."

This paper confirms 13 years of discoveries that suggest a key role for cosmic rays in climate change. It links observable variations in the world's cloudiness to laboratory experiments in Copenhagen showing how cosmic rays help generate atmospheric aerosols

Nobel Halo Fades Fast for Climate Change Panel

Two years ago, an international scientific panel seized worldwide attention by reporting that human activity was warming the planet in ways that could greatly disrupt human affairs and nature.Skip to next paragraph Dot EarthAndrew C.

Scores of German Scientists Dissent Over Global Warming Claims

8/6/2009 12:00:00 AM

More than 60 prominent German scientists have publicly declared their dissent from man-made global warming fears in an Open Letter to German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The more than 60 signers of the letter include several United Nations IPCC scientists.

2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season Forecast Lowered

8/6/2009 12:00:00 AM

The Colorado State University hurricane team today slightly lowered its 2009 Atlantic hurricane forecast based on developing El Nino conditions that are expected to intensify over the remainder of the hurricane season.

Save the Planet: Have Fewer Kids

8/3/2009 12:00:00 AM

An outpouring of skeptical scientists who are members of the American Chemical Society (ACS) are revolting against the group's editor-in-chief -- with some demanding he be removed -- after an editorial appeared claiming “the science of anthropogenic climate change is becoming increasingly well established.” The editorial claimed the "consensus" view was growing "increasingly difficult to challenge, despite the efforts of diehard climate-change deniers.” The editor now admits he is "startled" by the negative reaction from the group's scientific members.

Major Science Group 'Startled' By Outpouring of Scientists Rejecting Man-Made Climate Fears!

Resisting climate hysteria

7/26/2009 12:00:00 AM

The notion of a static, unchanging climate is foreign to the history of the earth or any other planet with a fluid envelope. The fact that the developed world went into hysterics over changes in global mean temperature anomaly of a few tenths of a degree will astound future generations.

Crops under stress as temperatures fall

6/13/2009 12:00:00 AM

For the second time in little over a year, it looks as though the world may be heading for a serious food crisis, thanks to our old friend "climate change". In many parts of the world recently the weather has not been too brilliant for farmers.

What if global-warming fears are overblown?

5/14/2009 12:00:00 AM

With Congress about to take up sweeping climate-change legislation, expect to hear more in coming weeks from John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center at University of Alabama-Huntsville.

A veteran climatologist who refuses to accept any research funding from the oil or auto industries, Christy was a lead author of the 2001 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report as well as one of the three authors of the American Geophysical Union's landmark 2003 statement on climate change.

Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules the Climate

3/2/2008 12:00:00 AM

The science is settled: Evidence clearly demonstrates that Carbon dioxide contributes insignificantly to Global Warming and is therefore not a 'pollutant.' This fact has not yet been widely recognized, and irrational Global Warming fears continue to distort energy policies and economic policy.

All efforts to curtail CO2 emissions, whether global or at the state level, are pointless -- and in any case, ineffective and very costly.

Bound To Burn

Like medieval priests, today’s carbon brokers will sell you an indulgence that forgives your carbon sins. It will run you about $500 for 5 tons of forgiveness—about how much the typical American needs every year.
