Those promoting CO2 as the reason for global warming are hucksters and those taken in by hucksters. Please consider NASA Sees Climate Cooling Trend Thanks to Low Sun Activity. “We see a cooling trend,” said Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center. “High above Earth’s surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy. If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold.” The new data is coming from NASA’s Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry or SABER instrument, which is onboard the space agency’s Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and...

Global warming hypocrites fly private jets to global warming conference in San Francisco Global warming hypocrisy at its finest!Every single time they have one of these international global warming conferences, there’s a always a huge number of attendees who arrive on private jets.The most recent example of this hypocrisy just happened at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco, California. The San Francisco International Airport said that corporate jet traffic was 30% higher than normal, and that much of this was due to attendees of the environmental conference.Why not fly commercial air travel instead?Or better yet, why not stay home...

Finally the Trump administration is starting to get serious about taking on the Green Blob. EPA administrator Scott Pruitt – perhaps stung by criticisms that he was turning into a squish – today reaffirmed, in an interview with CNBC, that he is not a believer in catastrophic man-made global warming. “I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact. So no, I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see. But we don’t know that yet…”...

Remember the “hockey stick” tricked up by Climategate scientist Michael Mann - and adopted by the IPCC report he cowrote? Remember how it claimed to show we’d never been warmer, when, as Steve McIntyre demonstrated, the world had in fact been much warmer in Medieval times? JoNova makes clear just how baseless was Mann’s claim with this map of the many studies that contradict Mann’s false claim, which was so eagerly promoted by the IPCC to scare the world: (This map is derived from this superb interactive version on CO2 Science, giving sources.) Go to JoNova’s site to read the...

The American Clean Energy and Security Act--the so-called “cap-and-trade” climate-change bill--that passed the U.S. House of Representatives last month would give manufacturers in certain industries in the Communist People's Republic of China an advantage over their U.S. competitors and put U.S. jobs at risk, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO). “I think what we’re trying to do is point out to the Congress and others that are interested that there could be some industries where China’s competitive advantage might be affected or could be further enhanced by (climate-change) legislation, if the features of the legislation don’t...
