By P.J. Gladnick ~ The seas are certain to rise in Miami, or so says the New York Times in their story on Tuesday by Christopher Flavelle and Patricia Mazzei, “Miami Says It Can Adapt to Rising Seas. Not Everyone Is Convinced.” Could it be that “not everyone is convinced” because they have yet to […]
By Dr. Jay Lehr ~ Alarms over rising oceans continue to sound. Politicians, actors, authors, and “climate activists” warn us regularly that the massive ice sheets in the Antarctic, and the Arctic, are melting. They remind us that in a matter of decades, oceans will rise to the point where they will destroy many coastal […]
By Craig Rucker ~ The West Antarctic ice sheet, the biggest mass of ice in the world, has been growing since the end of the nineteenth century. Marc Morano featured a post about a fascinating Chinese study from Dr. Patrick Michaels at the website of CFACT’s friend and ally the Competitive Enterprise Institute. The forthcoming […]
By Peter Murphy ~ We just can’t get enough of New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Her every utterance makes news, almost as often as our loquacious president of the United States. The latest from AOC is her warning to the residents of Miami and the state of Florida writ large who are on the front […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ The Pacific nation of Kiribati… is disappearing underwater. Tarawa, the atoll where nearly half the country’s population lives, could soon disappear. There is no evidence at all for that ABC claim. Even former Kiribati President Anote Tong, flogging the warming scare on the ABC, could not pretend the ABC claim was […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Here in Australia, the ABC Media ignores the science in pushing its global warming faith. The bias and the wilful ignorance are astonishing. Host Fran Kelly, one of the ABC’s most committed warmists, today asked an ex-president of Kiribati, Anote Tong, how much his islands were drowning, and criticised the current […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Why is Anote Tong, ex-president of Kiribati, lecturing Australia when China’s emissions are more than 20 times our own, and soaring fast?: Half a degree of warming may seem trifling but, for my country, Kiribati, these fractional figures are a matter of life and death.Our whole nation is only two metres […]
By Craig Rucker ~ Is sea level rising dangerously? Climate campaigners say it every day. The inconvenient fact is that sea level has been rising at a tiny 1 to 3 millimeters per year, which it has been doing since before the industrial revolution with no significant acceleration. CFACT’s Climate Depot is the most effective […]
By Matthew Balan ~ On Thursday, the Associated Press played up the supposed impact of President Donald Trump’s decision to the withdraw from the Paris climate accord by underlining that “some island states may not survive through the next 100 years.” The wire service touted officials from some of these countries, along with several “experts,” […]
By Julia A Seymour ~ Critics gave former Vice President Al Gore grief for predicting in An Inconvenient Truth that major cities including lower Manhattan would be underwater if severe ice melt occurred. Now Gore is rewriting history to claim his prediction came true in promotion footage of his upcoming film, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to […]
Alarmist claims about rising seas inundating coastal areas blame the wrong culprit By Paul Driessen and Roger Bezdek ~ In his 2006 Inconvenient Truth mockumentary, Al Gore infamously predicted melting ice caps would cause oceans to rise “up to 20 feet” (6.1 meters) “in the near future.” Kevin Costner’s 1995 “action thriller” Water World presumed […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Want to know why leaders of Pacific island countries love talking up that nonsense about global warming threatening their little paradises with doom? Check out Malcolm Turnbull. Come in, sucker: THERE is “no more pressing need” in the region than climate change, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has told Pacific leaders in […]
By Tim Graham ~ Following the lead of The New York Times, NPR on Saturday touted a new American trend – “climate change refugees,” people being subsidized by the federal government to move away from their lives on the coast. NPR Weekend Edition anchor Scott Simon announced: “Members of a small Native American community in […]
By Nicolas Loris ~ The New York Times has declared the first American climate refugees. The article, published on May 2, tells the story of families living in southeastern Louisiana on the Isle de Jean Charles who will have to relocate (apparently due to man-made climate change). The article begins by warning that, “Around the globe, […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ I doubt journalists even register the warming scares they mindlessly repeat. Never ask themselves whether the scares are remotely credible. For instance, here is what the latest disaster porn from a green group’s study claims – and note the caveat: Carbon emissions causing 4 degrees Celsius of warming … could lock […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Tony Thomas contrasts predictions by warmists of massive sea rises with the actual record so far. (Note: the effect of movements of the tectonic plates are not factored in.): I stumbled the other day across a user-friendly website for actual sea-level data (no forecasting or homogenising involved). It’s not one of […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ 2007: Andrew Bolt: I’m telling you, there’s a lot of fear out there. So what I do is, when I see an outlandish claim being made…so Tim Flannery suggesting rising seas this next century eight stories high, Professor Mike Archer, dean of engineering at the University of NSW… Robyn Williams [ABC […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ How often will this warmist furphy be trotted out by journalists with not the slightest interest in the facts? This time the author is Mark Kenny, hyping an anti-coal petition by 61 of the usual celebrity suspects: The low-lying Pacific Island country of Kiribati is one of many micro-nations in danger […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ In the lead up to the Paris Climate Change Conference (COP21) those smaller Pacific Island Nations and other Island Nations are pressuring Australia again in an effort to enhance their chances at getting a better slice of the pie…..TonyfromOz. From the Hobart Town Courier, February 17, 1837: From the Canberra Times, […]
By P.J. Gladnick ~ NASA scientists claimed that 2014 was the hottest year ever! …Oops! Never mind. When the facts were subsequently checked, the NASA scientists sheepishly admitted that there was only a 38% chance this was true which means probably not true. However, for you fans of broad climate predictions, I have good news. […]
By Michael Greibrok ~ The seas are rising and Sandy-like storm surges are going to be a “new normal,” according to Slate. Slate’s Bad Astronomy writer Phil Plait highlighted a NASA study that showed a rise in sea levels since 1992 in his Aug. 31 article. Repeated the fears of many climate alarmists, he blamed […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Bob Carter on turning back the sea-level alarmists: AUSTRALIA is lucky to possess the high-quality, 128-year-long tide gauge record from Fort Denison (Sydney Harbour), which since 1886 indicates a long-term rate of sea-level rise of 0.65mm a year, or 6.5cm a century… Similarly low rates of local sea-level rise have been […]
By Nicolas Loris ~ As world leaders remain locked in on the threat of ISIS, the U.S. Department of Defense laid out its plan to fight a different battle: ice caps. In a new report, DOD argues that climate change poses “immediate risks to U.S. national security” because of warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, changing […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ She’s surprised, but we should be delighted: The European Union’s climate chief says she’s surprised Australia’s Prime Minister won’t attend a major United Nations conference on climate change next week. More than 120 world leaders will gather in New York to tackle what the UN secretary general says is one of […]
