More death threats against climate skeptics
Mark Morano, author of “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change,” provides many examples of death threats and other violent threats against himself in an unpublished chapter of the book. See here. (Apparently the publishers did not want to include this chapter, so Morano has self-published excerpts from the missing chapter on his blog Climatedepot.com.) …

Government’s War on Science: CDC Concealed Results of Study that Supported Private Firearms
Back during the 1990s, the government “Center for Disease Control” (CDC) was caught spending vast funds to fund gun control “studies.” The agency produced a variety of studies blaring such headlines as “Guns in the home are 43 times more likely to kill a family member than an intruder.” See here. The government’s studies were …

Easter Island was wiped out by Little Ice Age; not manmade ecological collapse
Pro-government extremist Nicholas Kristof, a writer for the New York Times, recently repeated claims that the great sculptors of Easter Island were wiped out due to manmade environmental destruction. Similar claims were made by Professor Jared Diamond in his bestseller “Collapse”–a wide-ranging set of sociological essays culminating in a call for central planning by learned …

South Australians vote to oust climate-change apocalypticists

California Cities Accused of Securities Fraud over “Climate Change” Claims
Last year the governments of several California cities sued Exxon for supposed-predicted-future damage from “climate change.” The cities all claim their streets, bridges and other infrastructures will be damaged horribly by the actions of the fossil fuel company. But it appears the California cities are committing securities fraud. The same city governments have never mentioned …

“Climate Change” is a quintessential issue of wealthy government elites. Just 2 percent of voters say they vote according to politicians’ stance on the issue.
Government claims about climate change seem to be closely linked to government claims about “campaign finance.” Every claim of campaign finance reformers is untrue. Election outcomes are barely correlated with campaign ad spending; and to the extent there is any correlation, it is likely that political success (or perceived likely success) CAUSES the spending rather …

Skeptical scientist CENSURED by government university for questioning the integrity of scientific institutions
The world’s government-funded colleges and universities produce and promote a steady stream of pro-government propaganda masquerading as “science” or “the humanities.” Last August Professor Peter Ridd said the unsayable — that we can no longer trust scientific institutions. “The basic problem is that we can no longer trust the scientific organisations like the Australian Institute …

Study shows sea levels increased faster in the first half of the 20th century than in the second half
It is an article of faith among hardline believers in apocalyptic-manmade-global-warming-by-CO2 that sea levels are increasing–and that this increase is ACCELERATING as the planet’s glaciers and polar ice caps melt. And it seems there is widespread agreement that sea levels have risen moderately over the past several centuries. But now there is a major study …

Climate Skeptics Predicted Government would start “adjusting” Satellite Data to Prove Global Warming. A Year Later, the Predictions have come True!
Dr. Roy Spencer and John Christie pioneered the use of satellites to measure global temperatures. For 30 years, Dr. Spencer and Dr. Christie have led the satellite data program at the University of Alabama-Huntsville. Spencer and Christie are known skeptics of manmade-global-warming theory, and have frequently pointed out that their satellite data does not show …
