A healthy skepticism of claims by Sovietists that only expansive government can save the earth
Nov 02
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. The June report said the rate of global warming in the last 15 years has …

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. …

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.

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 …

Trusters of expansive, invasive, intrusive government frequently tout the government’s claims that global temperatures are rising due to human-released carbon dioxide. These claims are used to promote various socialist reforms including higher taxes and more government controls. But the claim of global warming rests only on theory, computer “modeling” and government (and government-funded) earth temperature …

Politicians promoting the government’s catastrophic-global-warming-by-manmade-CO2 claims routinely reference a discredited statistic, stating without condition that there is a “97 percent consensus” among scientists that human-released carbon dioxide is causing the earth to warm. Power-grabbing public officials point to the figure as stated on NASA websites to suggest that governments must have substantially more power over …

You know governments are losing the battle in the field of science when they seek to create judgments and “findings of fact.” They did it to Socrates. They did it to Galileo. Now, increasingly, governments and socialist promoters of the catastrophic-manmade-global-warming-by-human-released-CO2 theory are resorting to the strong arm of government venues, such as courts, commissions …

Snow season is coming early in 2015. Killington Ski area–one of the largest in the eastern U.S.–is opening early due to early snow. See here.

France’s government has been pushing the manmade-climate-change-by-CO2 agenda extremely hard. France is organizing the upcoming Paris climate conference in which the world’s western governments will once again push for more socialism and control. In June 2014, Laurent Fabius, the French foreign minister, summoned the country’s main weather presenters and told them to mention “climate chaos” …

A widely-circulated narrative proposes that scientists who dispute the government’s manmade-global-warming-by-carbon-dioxide claims are bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry. There is a basic logic behind this claim: demand for oil, gas and coal would decrease if government made the products more expensive or regulated. The industry benefits from the spread of information …
