Climate Change? What Climate Change?

Natural Gas Is Crushing Wind and Solar Power Stephen Moore February 25, 2020 Updated: February 26, 2020     Commentary The U.S. Energy Information Administration just announced some spectacular news that should be banner headlines across the country: The price of natural gas has fallen to its lowest February level in 20 years. The data shows that natural gas prices fell to $1.77 per million British thermal units. In inflation-adjusted terms, the price of gas has plunged by some 80 percent since its high of $13.60 12 years ago. The price is down 90 percent since 2005, when prices hit nearly $20. (Quick: Can you think of anything else that now costs one-tenth of what it did 15 years ago?) The Energy Information Administration also reports that U.S. natural gas production has hit an all-time high this year. The shale oil and gas revolution keeps rolling on—but no one is...

Don't Tell Anyone, But We Just Had Two Years Of Record-Breaking Global Cooling 04:33 PM ET 05/16/2018 Inconvenient Science: NASA data show that global temperatures dropped sharply over the past two years. Not that you'd know it, since that wasn't deemed news. Does that make NASA a global warming denier? Writing in Real Clear Markets , Aaron Brown looked at the official NASA global temperature data and noticed something surprising. From February 2016 to February 2018, "global average temperatures dropped by 0.56 degrees Celsius." That, he notes, is the biggest two-year drop in the past century. "The 2016-2018 Big Chill," he writes, "was composed of two Little Chills, the biggest five month drop ever (February to June 2016) and the fourth biggest (February to June 2017). A similar event from February to June 2018 would bring global average temperatures below the 1980s average. " Isn't this just the sort of...

Climate Worship Is Nothing More Than Rebranded Paganism We're seeing sexualized dances, hallucinogens, worshiping nature, confessing sins in pagan animism, worshiping purified teen saints, all to promote a supposedly greater cause. By Sumantra Maitra September 26, 2019 Lynn Townsend White Jr., an American historian from Princeton, wrote an influential essay in 1967, at the height of the cultural revolution in Western campuses, arguing that Christianity and Judeo-Christian values are responsible for ecological disaster and climate change. The essay, naturally, was adapted by generations after, ironically almost like a document of faith. The central argument went like this. White argued, “The victory of Christianity over paganism was the greatest psychic revolution in the history of our culture. … By destroying pagan animism, Christianity made it possible to exploit nature in a mood of indifference to the feelings of natural objects.” If nothing else...

Climate Change, George Soros and Censorship Climate Change, George Soros and Censorship Posted at 6:21 am on February 6, 2020 by davenj1 In January of this year, a report was published on the website of a nonprofit named Avaaz.  The report claimed that YouTube is profiting off of videos that deny the reality of climate change.  It further lists major advertisers who run ads on videos that question the legitimacy of the threat that climate change poses to humanity.  Since that report was posted, several media outlets-  Vice, Time, and  The Verge among them- have called for putting pressure on advertisers who would dare advertise on any of these videos.  In short, they must be punished for not toeing the correct ideological line. Put another way, independent mainstream media outlets are now engaged in a politically-motivated campaign for YouTube to demonetize any video that questions the legitimacy of climate change.  Leaving as...

An Economics Reality Check An Economics Reality Check Walter E. Williams / @WE_Williams / February 05, 2020   Sarah and Marty Krocak look over their year-end financial records before learning they are nearly $50,000 in the hole for the year Dec. 9, 2019, in Montgomery, Minnesota. Dairy and crop farmers across the Midwest are going out of business due to the Trump-era tariffs and the operating costs of farming, which have made it impossible to turn a profit.

The Stunning Statistical Fraud Behind The Global Warming Scare 03:12 AM ET 03/29/2018 Global Warming: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may have a boring name, but it has a very important job: It measures U.S. temperatures. Unfortunately, it seems to be a captive of the global warming religion. Its data are fraudulent. What do we mean by fraudulent? How about this: NOAA has made repeated "adjustments" to its data, for the presumed scientific reason of making the data sets more accurate. Nothing wrong with that. Except, all their changes point to one thing — lowering previously measured temperatures to show cooler weather in the past, and raising more recent temperatures to show warming in the recent present. This creates a data illusion of ever-rising temperatures to match the increase in CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere since the mid-1800s, which global warming advocates say is a cause-and-effect relationship. The more C...

Weather warning: Earth could be hit by MINI ICE-AGE as Sun ‘hibernates’ Weather warning: Earth could be hit by MINI ICE-AGE as Sun ‘hibernates’ EARTH could be braced for a ‘mini ICE-AGE' as experts warn a solar minimum could last until the 2050s. By Sean Martin PUBLISHED: 11:01, Mon, Feb 3, 2020 | UPDATED: 15:50, Mon, Feb 3, 2020 Sunspot activity on the surface of the Sun follows a well-known but little understood 11 year cycle. Activity rises and falls creating the so-called solar maximum and then solar minimum . During a solar maximum, the Sun is more powerful and is littered with sunspots. Conversely when the Sun enters a solar minimum – which it did about two years ago - energy from our host star begins to lessen. However, one expert has warned that the Sun will enter a period of “hibernation” this year, in what as known as a Grand Solar Minimum (GSM). Prof Valentina Zharkova, from the department of mathematics, physics and electri...
