Dr. James Hansen is the Director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Dr. Hansen is right up there with Al Gore, Michael Mann and the Climategate CRU on the list of people helping the UN to swindle the United States and other western democracies out of trillions of dollars through his promotion of the [...]
I come to bury Schneider not to praise him
His own words tell you all you need to know about him By James Delingpole, De mortuis nihil nisi bonum? Yeah, yeah, whatever. But why, pray, should one even try to find anything nice to say about the man who, more perhaps than any other, was responsible for steering the already pretty nebulous field of [...]
Global warming alarmists getting desperate as skeptics attack greenhouse theory
Sensing that their sky-is-falling theory is crumbling under scientific scrutiny, the always-insecure global warming True Believers are losing their cool, lashing out at critics with a mounting campaign of scurrilous personal attacks, impugning the motives, integrity and mental state of anyone who refuses to genuflect before the high priesthood of anthropogenic global warming (AGW).

Did NASA/GISS discover 30% more land in the Northern Hemisphere?
Some very strange statistical jiggery pokery from Jim Hansen’s outfit Frank Lansner has been a busy man, and he’s asking some very thought provoking questions.

Scientific malfeasance
Dr. Martin Hertzberg After a brief respite to digest the “climategate” scandal and the IPCC’s negligent acceptance of fraudulent claims about melting Himalayan glaciers, the SDN echo chamber of environmental propaganda has resumed in full form with the Peters-deBuys article of July 17. Such activists are trumpeting the recent spring increase of 0.1 C in [...]

Another Leftist false prophet
We all roasted in the year 2000, apparently Documents released Friday by the Nixon Presidential Library show members of President Richard Nixon’s inner circle discussing the possibilities of global warming more than 30 years ago.

Down with Doom: How the World Keeps Defying the Predictions of Pessimists
By Matt Ridley When I was a student, in the 1970s, the world was coming to an end. The adults told me so. They said the population explosion was unstoppable, mass famine was imminent, a cancer epidemic caused by chemicals in the environment was beginning, the Sahara desert was advancing by a mile a year, [...]
