Here is today’s Huffington Post headline: “Spring Has Sprung In The Arctic … But It’s Way Too Early For It: NOAA just reported the earliest snowmelt in 78 years of recorded history.” But intrepid data analyst Tony Heller examined the Danish satellite imagery of Arctic ice. “Temperatures are forecast to remain below freezing over the …

Again and again, data analyst Tony Heller has caught government agencies doctoring temperature data records to make the past seem colder (and the present, therefore, warmer in comparison). Now Heller has noticed the official NOAA data set for Boulder, Colorado. In one case, the government agency has lowered past temperatures AS MUCH AS 7.8 DEGREES! …

by Dr. Roger Roots, founder of Lysander Spooner University. In the fall of 2015 I offered a bet of $5,000 if the glaciers at Glacier National Park disappear by 2030 (as predicted in all GNP signage, pamphlets, films and publications). See here. As of yet, no one has taken me up on my bet. The …

In 1983, the pro-government climate hysteric James Hansen (considered one of the founding fathers of the manmade-global-warming-hysteria movement) published data showing the seas were rising. But NASA must …

Tony Heller, the dogged data analyst who blogs as Steven Goddard, has previously caught the NSIDC (National Snow and Ice Data Center) cheating, just as Arctic sea ice extent was about to cross above the 1979-2000 average. The NSIDC changed their measurement system to hide the fact that Arctic ice was growing to above-average levels. …

Think capitalism harms the environment and more government would cure the problem? Karen De Coster of Lewrockwell.com writes that most of the worst environmental disasters in America are attributable to the government. See here. According to a 2010 federal report, nearly 900 Superfund sites in the U.S. are abandoned military facilities or facilities that provided …

If government programs were subjected to the same fraud and unfair-trade-practices standards that prevail in the private sector, many politicians and government bureaucrats would be serving lengthy prison sentences. Martin L. Gross reminds us that the congressional Republicans who pushed for Medicare Part D (prescription drug benefits for all Medicare recipients) in 2003 spread fundamental …

Government supremacists routinely argue for more government to ‘help the poor.’ Yet government regulations invariably harm the poor and cement the positions of the rich. Since the beginning of 21st century, the U.S. government has become increasingly “progressive”: with more regulations, higher tax rates, and a greater tax burden on ‘the rich.’ Yet “acccording to …
