By Rupert Darwall ~ Fed-speak, Alan Greenspan once explained, was about practicing the art of constructive ambiguity. Testifying to Congress as Fed chairman, Greenspan would resolve a sentence in a deliberately obscure way that made it incomprehensible, “but nobody was quite sure I wasn’t saying something profound when I wasn’t.” Speaking on Tuesday at a symposium on […]
By Peter Murphy ~ So many of the same politicians who incessantly warn about end of democracy are deploying the most undemocratic means to impose their global warming (a.k.a. climate change) agenda on American society and worldwide, resulting in economic bedlam. There are indications, however, of pushback, including from the often craven and pusillanimous private […]
By Bonner Cohen, Ph.D. and Dr. Jay Lehr ~ Noah Harari, a futurist advisor to the World Economic Forum (WEF), told the forum that they must become the majority and leave the rest behind. He was saying we don’t need regular folks. We don’t need carpenters, plumbers, hairdressers, mechanics automobile workers, farmers and ranchers. They […]
From the team at CFACT ~ By Bill Kovacs: The apocalyptic talk about climate change is nothing more than a diversion tactic by the government, the radical Left, and their mainstream press. The many laws, the trillions in federal appropriations and tax credits, and the unworkable proposals to address climate change will not slow the […]
By Joe Bastardi ~ I am taking some heat from people on my side because of my advocacy of a cheap way of getting co2 emissions down to 0. Its Chapter 14 of my book (De-Weaponizing the Real Battlefield) and I wrote about this here on CFACT, if you wish to re-read it: https://www.cfact.org/2021/05/18/kerry-montreal-protocol-kigali/ And […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ The recent Climate Adaptation Summit 2021 was not about helping nations against the effects of climate change. It was all about finding huge amounts of money. Even worse, it was about planning on finding money, not actually finding it. Even more embarrassing, in some cases it was just about thinking […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ McKinsey and Company is the world’s biggest management consulting firm, with annual revenue topping ten billion dollars. Lately they have launched a climate scare campaign, no doubt hoping to make a fortune from it, but CLINTEL has called them out. CLINTEL has sent a succinct letter of challenge to the […]
From the team at CFACT ~ By Mark Mathis of The Clear Energy Alliance ~ Are you a knuckle-dragging “climate denier” caveman? If you don’t fully agree with the narrative of the news media, that’s who you are. According to the mainstream press you can only be a caveman “denier” or an angel willing to […]
By Peter Murphy ~ Former Vice President turned nine-figure millionaire, Al Gore, long a global warming celebrity, will be among several speakers next month for a series of “TED Talks” to launch “Countdown,” which is a global initiative to deal with the “climate crisis.” The Countdown is pushing to reduce global carbon emissions in half […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ The climate change debate might be one of the worst cases of academic suppression in history. We see these days a lot of complaints about threats to academic freedom, but very little action. So it makes a lot of sense that CLINTEL has taken a positive step forward. CLINTEL has […]
From the team at CFACT ~ Is it better or worse to have a global climate that benefits plant growth? The obvious answer would be, better. However, now that it is has been shown that global warming benefits plant growth, climate activists and their media allies want us to believe more plant growth is bad. […]
From the team at CFACT ~ Two prominent climate scientists who adhere to United Nations climate assessments are scolding the media and alarmist scientists for claiming worst-case scenarios are the most likely climate outcome. In a January 29 commentary (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00177-3) published in the peer-reviewed science journal Nature, Zeke Hausfather of Berkeley Earth and Glen Peters […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ Loss and Damage (L&D) is the name of the hugely dangerous issue whereby developed countries would compensate the developing world for damages caused by things like bad weather and rising seas, in the name of climate change. It has been slowly inching forward at every COP. This time L&D made […]
By Duggan Flanakin ~ Why are the World Bank and other international institutions promoting widespread use of charcoal for heating and cooking in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)? During the recent 2019 “climate week,” the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change touted increased reliance on biomass – which already comprises 60 percent of European renewable energy – […]
By Jarrett Stepman ~ Judging from the much-hyped and widely mocked speech by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg at the United Nations earlier this week, it’s clear that some young people are convinced that the world will soon end unless we do something drastic. “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ First it was AOC and the Sunrise Movement versus Pelosi and the moderate Democrats in Congress. Now it is Greta Thunberg and the so-called youth movement versus the UN and the world’s major governments. Between the moderates in power and the new radicals, climate alarmism has split wide open. This […]
By Craig Rucker ~ What happened to CNN? Almost 30 years ago, CNN delivered bold and courageous on the ground reporting of Operation Desert Storm in Kuwait and Iraq. It was a testimony to the freedom of the press in action. Fast forward to today, and alas, CNN has flushed its courageous reporting and matter-of-fact […]
By Matt Philbin ~ Well, we seem to have hit peak intersectionality, at least it relates to the religion of climate change. (Intersectionality is the modern progressive faith that all the world’s ills can be attributed to the existence of white male genitalia). We all know that global warming, like everything else, will inordinately impact […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ News coverage of the UN climate summit in Katowice always says that the thousands of national green delegates are there to try to finalize the “rulebook” for the Paris Agreement. There may also be a few words on what the most contentious issues are, but that is about it. The […]
By Jarrett Stepman ~ A riot is an ugly thing. The anarchical mayhem in the streets of Paris in recent days paint a picture of a fractured society with deep-seated problems—a breakdown of the fragile yet essential rule of law. While we’ve come to expect such things in France, there are specific reasons why these […]
From the team at CFACT ~ The Paris climate agreement would force U.S. taxpayers to fork over approximately $10 billion every year to developing countries like China, Iran, and Venezuela. The average American household would have to pay approximately $100 in extra taxes per year to fund this handout. The handout would come on top […]
From the team at CFACT ~ Global warming alarmists suffered a big hit this week in their effort to deify shoddy “peer-reviewed” climate papers. Stanford University medical professor John Ioannidis, in an interview with Agence France Presse (AFP), blew the lid off the trustworthiness of the peer-review process. When the alarmist community seeks to push […]
In reality, more carbon dioxide means more plant growth and thus more food for people By Paul Driessen ~ Climate alarmism dominated the Obama era and run-up to Paris. But it’s at least as bizarre, dogmatic, and intolerant now that — President Trump pulled the United States out of the all pain/no gain Paris climate pact; […]
Al Gore, Torquemada Whitehouse, Democrat AGs threaten to silence and bankrupt skeptics By Paul Driessen ~ It’s been a rough stretch for Climate Armageddon religionists and totalitarians. Real World science, climate and weather events just don’t support their manmade cataclysm narrative. The horrid consequences of anti-fossil fuel energy policies are increasingly in the news. And […]
