Climate Activism’s Ugly Reality
You don’t improve the world via witch hunts, blacklists, and cruelty.
The Hounding of Roger Pielke Jr
Roger Pielke, Jr. is the most senior environmental studies prof at the University of Colorado in Boulder. His treatment sends a clear message to students & faculty alike: Deviate from the climate script and you will be cast out.
How Climate Trickery Infiltrated the AGU
11 presentations – based on private, agenda-driven research – were delivered to the world’s largest gathering of climate scientists.
Fooling Us With Climate Trickery
An influential report aimed at business leaders re-labelled an implausible, far-fetched scenario as ‘our current path.’
How the Ugliest Climate Fairy Tale Won
A preposterous climate yarn has taken center stage.
Childish Fantasies vs Real World Energy Needs
Transforming the world’s energy system is a vast undertaking. Of colossal proportions.
Paris and the Poor
Rich countries that try to meet their Paris commitments will spend huge amounts of money replacing cheap, higher-emissions energy sources with expensive, lower-emissions sources. This will harm the poor and do nothing for the climate.
The WWF: Still Donning the Science Costume
Why doesn’t the World Wildlife Fund argue for its vision based solely on that vision’s merits?
A Normal Day in Climate Science
Don’t believe everything you read – especially about the supposed link between global warming and natural disasters.
Watch the Al Gore Machine Manufacture Scientific ‘Facts’
Are climate change ‘facts’ so hard to come by that a not-yet-finalized draft report is considered evidence?
Authors of ‘Extreme Misrepresentation’
A majority of the 13 senior scientists responsible for a US government report are also associated with activist groups. (Eight of them have an IPCC connection.)
US Official: ‘Activate Your Science’
A senior public servant thinks scientists should be passionate, engaged activists.
Keeping the ‘No Pressure’ Video Alive
It’s no longer easy to locate the splattergate video on YouTube.
Al Gore’s Shameful New Campaign
Why is Al Gore linking greenhouse gas emissions to natural disasters when experts in that field say no such link exists?
The IPCC, the UK, and Climate Censorship
When British delegates attempt to censor speakers at a Russian Academy of Science climate change event that’s a clue that science has left the building.
The IPCC on Renewable Energy
The IPCC has released a 26-page summary of a new report 3 weeks ahead of the 1,000-page full document. This is an example of how the IPCC manipulates media coverage. Journalists can’t compare the summary to the real thing.
Bill McKibben Says It’s Urgent
In the world inhabited by this environmental crusader, climate change is “a crisis that’s breaking over our heads at this moment,” ExxonMobil peddles petroleum the way drug dealers peddle heroin, and we “have no choice” but to turn our backs on fossil fuels.
Monkeys Could Do This
Al Gore said global warming caused Hurricane Katrina and that hurricanes were going to get worse. This gave insurance companies an excuse to increase premiums by tens of billions. How embarrassing that US hurricane damage has since fallen to less than half the historical average.
Perhaps those who lost their properties because they could no longer afford to insure them will forgive & forget.
Does the IPCC Prefer Grey Literature to Peer-Reviewed?
Economist Richard Tol has written a series of blog posts regarding, among other concerns, the IPCC’s apparent use of non-peer-reviewed literature to neutralize peer-reviewed research findings.
Scientific Organizations – Should We Trust Them?
Since the 1970s, some scientists have embraced social & political activism. The public needs to be aware, therefore, that not every pronouncement made by a “scientist” is neutral or disinterested.
The Honest Broker
A moderate and pragmatic voice in the climate debate, Roger Pielke Jr. argues in this book, The Honest Broker, that scientists deserve this label when they present a variety of options to the public – rather than advocating a single course of action.
