Michael Bastasch Some academics are mad there are too many middle school and high school science teachers questioning the science behind global warming. As it turns out, there are too many “politically conservative” teachers presenting skeptical arguments about global warming to kids — something that’s really angering researchers because they say there’s no real…
Andrew Follett Environmentalists have warned global warming would mean more people being killed by natural disasters, but new United Nations data shows deaths from natural disasters declined by 70 percent in 2015 relative to the average number of deaths of the previous 10 years. “The U.N. reports that environmental disasters affected fewer people last year than…
Chris White President Barack Obama’s FY 2017 federal budget repeals oil and gas revenue sharing payments and uses a portion of the money to relocate coastal Alaskan communities supposedly ravaged by “climate change,” prompting global warming alarmists to sing his praises. The Washington Post’s environmental reporter, Chris Mooney, told his readers Tuesday the move to…
by Andrew Follett Environmentalists like to claim skeptics are making money off hampering global warming regulations, but those same greens are making a lot of money promoting global warming alarmism. Earlier this week, the Feds even took down a green energy scheme that took $1.4 million from taxpayers. Counting only private money, environmental groups massively outspend their opponents….
Michael Bastasch President Barack Obama has just proposed a $10 tax on every barrel of oil produced in the U.S., but it was just five years ago the president warned making fuel more expensive harms poor people the most. Obama told Georgetown University students in a 2011 speech that “rising prices at the pump affect…
Michael Bastasch The White House’s global warming claims are now being contradicted by the Obama administration’s own scientists. President Barack Obama’s administration has repeated the talking point over the year that man-made global warming has increased the incidence of heavy rainfalls across the U.S., but a new study casts doubt on this assertion. National Oceanic…
Andrew Follett The United Nations global warming deal could make another five million people homeless in the world’s poorest countries, for the express purpose of setting forest land aside to slow global warming through conservation. Millions who live in and depend on forests for their livelihoods could be evicted from their wooded homes, according to new…
Andrew Follett The Washington Post’s Capital Weather Gang (CWG) blog attempted to link the recent East Coast blizzard to global warming Wednesday, only to be shot down by veteran climate scientist Chip Knappenberger. “To me some folks at Capital Weather Gang are overly eager to link human-caused climate change to extreme weather events,” Knappenberger, a…
Chris White Sen. Ted Cruz stands alone atop the Republican Iowa Caucus field, beating both real estate mogul Donald Trump and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and environmentalists are not thrilled about the global warming skeptic’s victory. Last night following the close Republican race, a bevy of environmentalists took to Twitter to voice their disdain…
Michael Bastasch A new study supports evidence that rising levels of carbon dioxide emissions are making American forests healthier and more resilient. In fact, U.S. forests are likely to get even healthier over the next few decades. “We found that trees are tolerant of rising temperatures and have responded to rising carbon dioxide,” according to…
