Far from being a threat, coal continues to bring health, welfare and prosperity to billions At the recent Environmental Protection Agency public hearing in Charleston, West Virginia, on withdrawing the “Clean Power Plan,” anti-coal activists were out in force: the...
Throughout the United Nations Climate Change Conference wrapping up in Bonn, Germany this week, the world has been inundated with the usual avalanche of manmade global warming alarmism. The UN expects us to believe that extreme weather, shrinking sea ice, and sea...
Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver is right to label climate activist Dr. James Hansen’s end-of the-world proclamations as nonsense. But Oliver makes a strategic mistake when he actively promotes the hypothesis that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities are causing dangerous global warming.
Happily, and perhaps unexpectedly, Canadian Environment Minister Peter Kent resisted the temptation to associate his Earth Day speech with the climate scare. In an announcement that included nothing at all about climate, global warming, greenhouse gases or carbon dioxide, Kent and his Alberta counter-part Diana McQueen instead discussed a practical, science-based plan to enhance public access to real pollution data from the oilsands.
In a recent New York Times article, David Wallace Wells asked, “How did No-Mandate Sweden End up with such an average pandemic”. Let’s be clear. This admission from the New York Times, who tried to destroy the response to Covid-19, starting in April 2020 and...
Candida Auris is a fungus that, unlike most fungi, can survive in a human body. It is capable of spreading within the body, resulting in an agonizing death. For unknown reasons the fungus is spreading at a rather alarming rate. So far, cases have been confined to long...
Data from the Energy Information Administration indicates that in 2007, 2008 and 2009, the U.S. added more non‐hydroelectric renewable capacity than was added in natural gas, coal, oil, and nuclear. This is a dangerous trend that must be reversed as soon as possible.
In my FCPP blog OpEd posting of January 7, 2013, “Meteorologist discovers U.S. government announcing records before all data analyzed; ‘warmest ever’ July not true” , I promised to update readers when I had analyzed responses to my queries of NOAA’s NCDC. Here is that update.
The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that 2012 was the warmest year on record. However, the NCDC is not to be trusted because of its poor methodology and damaged reputation.
Starting in their June 2009 SOTC report, NCDC moved the warning about the data being preliminary and so subject to significant change to the very bottom of the document where almost no one would see it.
The widely-reported assertion that July 2012 was the hottest month in the instrumental record for the contiguous U.S. is now shown to be wrong.
It is clear that this year’s Christmas weather forecast was simply propaganda in support of Environment Minister Peter Kent’s climate change mantra.
the coming year must also be the one in which the Canadian government finally gets its act together on climate change. If they don’t, we will continue wasting billions of dollars on what many in the Conservative party, Prime Minister Stephen Harper included, must know perfectly well is almost certainly a non-issue
The underlying assumption at all such U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) events is that a man-made climate crisis is looming and nothing less than a revolution in the way we generate energy is urgently needed to “save the planet.” No matter what direction science and technology is actually headed, no UN delegate dare oppose this, the UNFCCC creed.
"The Procession of the Trojan Horse in Troy" by Domenico Tiepolo (1773), inspired by Virgil's Aeneid Despite lamentations from impatient climate campaigners, the United Nations Climate Change Conference just completed in Doha has significantly advanced the dangerously...
