By Michael Bastasch Two climate scientists skeptical of man-made global warming are closely watching a study they say could be a “death knell” to climate alarmism.

Andrew Follett There’s no link between the pro-green energy policies of states and falling carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, but there is a statistically significant link between falling CO2 and natural gas electricity, according to statistical analysis conducted by The Daily Caller News Foundation. Statistical analysis and regressions run by TheDCNF found no statistically significant link existed…
By Michael Bastasch Christiana Figueres, the outgoing head of the United Nations Climate Change Secretariat, has put out a video asking people to buy UN carbon offsets to help fight global warming — it’s so easy, she says, she’s bought offsets for herself and her family. “I’ve offset all my emissions for myself and my…
