All of this alarmist attribution stuff is junk science personified. We are seeing nothing that is outside of normal natural variability. As my father used to say, figures don’t lie but liars sure can figure.

“We are withdrawing, and we made that as clear as it can be. I don’t know how to say it any more clearly.”

CFACT policy advisor Larry Bell refutes the claims of alarmist activists that hurricanes Harvey and Irma were “enhanced” as a result of climate change — and shows that the same alarmists had made the same statements in prior years regarding prior hurricanes — and then there was a 12-year lull.

CFACT Senior Policy Advisor Paul Driessen reports on positive changes in forest management at two federal agencies — Interior under Ron Zinke and Agriculture under Sonny Perdue. New policies will go a long way at reducing deaths of humans, animals, and plants from forest fires, and dramatically lower the costs of forest management while increasing the amount of forest land available for recreation and harvesting. As Driessen says, cleaning out dead, diseased, burned, overgrown trees would bring countless benefits — and make our forests healthy again.

NOAA’s Climate.gov website rivals NASA’s, in more ways than one. There is actually a rivalry between the two agencies to see who can be the most alarmist.

Hurricanes are “natural.” Our ability to see them coming and cope is “man-made.”

After all was said and done, neither Harvey nor Irma was the “worst” hurricane ever to hit the U.S. CFACT advisor Larry Bell recounts over a century’s information on hurricanes in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea, noting that hurricane damages are al;ways catastrophic for those whose lives are uprooted by them.

A close look at the numbers indicates that Bill Nye may actually be promoting skepticism as much as alarmism, maybe even more so. What a hoot!

“Irma reached Cat 3 status over temperatures in the Atlantic that weren’t all that warm.”

The Fear Industry strikes again. Now they are “warning” us of tiny nanobits of plastic fiber in our drinking water! This fear study was funded by a “news” organization called Orbit Media. They hired researchers from the University of Minnesota and one of the State Universities of New York – – who were more than […]

CFACT Senior Policy Analyst Paul Driessen quotes multiple climate scientists who explain that high-rainfall tropical storms have battered the Texas coast (and Florida) for generations of recorded history (and likely long before). Thus, the efforts to tie Hurricane Harvey to “climate change” are “disgraceful” — and ignore the reality that Houston was built on impermeable clays and reclaimed swamp lands with a history of subsidence.

The New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA) has polled its members on the teaching of “climate change” and a bunch of the respondents seem pretty skeptical.

If Hurricane Irma impacts the United States at category 4 or 5 strength the effects will be devastating.

As hurricane winds increase, the force of the wind does not increase linearly, but exponentially. A category 5 storm is not five times more destructive than a category 1 storm. It is 500 times more destructive! Check out the full Saffir-Simpson scale.

“The results are clear: human-induced global warming played an inconsequential role in this disaster.”

CFACT Senior Policy Analyst Paul Driessen corrects some assumptions in an earlier article about the energy, land, and materials requirements for creating a totally wind-powered United States. The numbers are staggering — even though based on best-scenario assumptions. The real world situation would likely be much worse. Simply put, the goal of a 100% wind powered nation is a pipe dream.

CFACT policy advisor Larry Bell provides a personal account of the human response to Hurricane Harvey’s destruction.

Croplands, habitats, taxes, family budgets, safety sacrificed to enrich a politically connected few?

The U.S. District Court of Northern California blocked the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) postponement of an Obama-era rule regulating royalties paid by energy companies on federal and tribal lands.

The politicized federal “Climate Science Special Report” presents a perfect opportunity for red team blue team fact and science checking.
