  • UN climate report a ‘red alert’ for the planet: Guterres

    Nations are “nowhere close” to the level of action needed to fight global warming, a UN climate action report said on Friday, urging countries to adopt stronger and more ambitious plans to reach the Paris Agreement goals, and limit the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, by the end of the century.

  • BP and Shell Must Leave the American Petroleum Institute: Here’s Why

    wisepig/flickrFor decades, the American Petroleum Institute (API) has been a powerful force against US action on climate change.

During the Trump administration, API aggressively...

  • Why Do Democrats Keep Getting Their Climate Doomsday Predictions Wrong?

    For more than 50 years, members of the scientific community and environmental movement have made climate-change predictions that ultimately turned out to be incorrect. Many of these predictions have been embraced by prominent Democrats over the years. President Joe Biden’s climate czar John Kerry is the latest Democrat to promote predictions of impending global disaster. He said during an appearance last week...
  • ‘Acceleration’ In Sea Levels Found To Be False – Artifact Of Switching Satellites

    One of the most common arguments climate alarmists make is that the rate of sea-level rise is “accelerating” or rising faster every year. Sea-level data reported from satellites indicate seas are rising approximately 3.3 mm/year (See Figure 1). By contrast, tidal stations have recorded a rise of approximately 1 to 2 mm annually, a rate which is little changed over the century...
  • Atlantic ‘Conveyer Belt’ Shows No Sign Of Slowing, Scientists Find

    A 30-year reconstruction of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation shows no decline. It’s the very same scenario posed in the disaster movie “The Day After Tomorrow,” where a slowdown in the Gulf Stream turned North America into a frozen wasteland. Abstract A decline in Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) strength has been observed between 2004 and 2012 by the RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS (RAPID –...

  • Oregon PBS Claims Climate Change Causing More Droughts, Floods And Heatwaves

    A story by Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) claims climate change is causing an increase in various extreme weather events. This is false.
