In the world of climate-change alarmists, funding non-government-approved science is “keeping the public in the dark”
The government-worshipping Salon.com site is back with another essay on the politics of global climate change. According to Salon, Exxon may have spent as much as 16 million dollars during a 7-year period from 1998 to 2005 on “organizations [which] muddy the scientific waters.” Two points: (1) $16 million is NOTHING. Exxon has spent vastly …

The Claim That Exxon Is Funding Climate Skepticism Evaporates Under Scrutiny
Here are two great sources of info on the now-popular claim that the fossil fuel industry massively funds skepticism of the government’s climate-change agenda. The entirety of the claim rests on hyperbole. In fact, Exxon and the other major oil companies have funded MUCH MORE pro-government propaganda on the issue than skepticism.

Update on N.O.A.A.’s Concealment of Temp Data
We previously reported that NOAA (the government agency charged with monitoring and studying the climate and atmosphere) is refusing to provide the temp data calculations it used for its published study claiming there has been no pause in global warming.

Another College “Disinvites” A Speaker for Presenting Governmentally-Incorrect Views
America’s colleges overwhelmingly promote–often with government funds taken by force from taxpayers–an extremist, pro-government, socialist and elitist doctrine. Now Williams College, a once-prestigious liberal arts college in Massachusetts–has banned a speaker from an event after inviting her to speak. See here.

European Union Votes to Give Edward Snowden Asylum
There was a time–decades ago–when the United States were considered the freest soil on earth. Now the international community increasingly recognizes that the U.S. government is among the world’s most totalitarian states–especially with regard to the U.S. government’s vast surveillance and takeover of cyberspace, cell, and internet technology. This past week, the European Union voted …

Government Solar Power Plant Actually Emits MORE CO2 Than a Fossil-Fuel Plant (Per Unit of Energy Produced)
The Ivanpah Solar Power Plant in the desert of Southern California cost U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars. Yet “it is producing carbon emissions at nearly twice the amount that subjects fossil-fuel power plants to California’s “cap-and-trade” program. See here. The plant uses large amounts of natural gas to substitute for times of low solar output. …

Good News! Antarctican Ice Not Melting!
Perhaps they didn’t get the memo. NASA released an exhaustive study yesterday (Nov. 30, 2015). See here. NASA’s study admits that “Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away.” Antarctic ice is now at the very largest levels ever recorded by satellite. See here.

A new climate record: America goes 10 years without any serious hurricanes
American weather has apparently gotten slightly milder even as it cools. October 24, 2015 “marked a full ten years since a category 3-5 hurricane last hit the United States. (Hurricane Wilma in 2005; Sandy hit as a Category 2,)” according to climate writer Paul Driessen. See here. That’s a record dating back at least to …

Government Admits that “Affordable Care Act” is Causing HIGHER PRICES
“Underperforming bailout-style programs (expiring after next year) designed to artificially hold down rates, sicker-than-expected risk pools, and stagnating enrollment projections.” These are, according to columnist Guy Benson, the ways that promoters of Obamacare underestimated costs and unintended consequences of the “Affordable Care Act.” Premiums are rising an average of at least 7 percent annually (despite …
