The National Academy of Sciences is off the rails when it comes to teaching kids about climate change.

Mere speculation reported as established scientific fact is the overarching flaw in the wildly alarmist Climate Science Special Report (CSSR) of the US Global Change Research Program. This flaw could also be called the Fallacy of False Confidence.

Skepticism is alive and well but so is alarmism, which means there is much that can be done to advance sound science. Here is an overview, which ties to the various articles plus some other material and suggests specific action items that many people can take on.

After hours of criticism, The NYT quietly switched copies of the climate report.

NASA is teaching global warming propaganda online. Time for reform.

“We are in an era of unusually low extreme weather. So, as CO2 has risen, our weather has gotten less extreme.”

Climate Central is a major operation, with a budget estimated at about $5 million a year and a listed staff of 36 people. As a non-profit it is funded lavishly by a combination of left-wing Foundations and Federal agencies, but science has left the building.

“The Bureau­ of Meteorology (BoM) initially claimed the adjustments were part of its quality control procedures. But bureau chief executive Andrew Johnson later told Environment Minister Josh­ Frydenberg that investigations had found a number of cold-weather stations were not “fit for purpose” and would be replaced.”

If there’s anything climate campaigners hate it’s fair discussion.

Pet dogs and cats are only making global warming worse, according to a UCLA study.

Teaching sound climate science is often prevented by “gatekeepers.” Time to break through.

Did Aussie temperature records change from a slight cooling trend to one of “dramatic warming” over the past century?

Today’s climate models are like video games, fun to play with but not to be taken seriously.

Michael Mann has consistently refused to share his temperature proxy data for others to examine, forcing one to wonder what it is he has to hide.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s proposal to hold a TV debate on climate change science makes a lot of sense.

Holdren argued the scientific peer-review process already acts as a check on bad science, further arguing a red team exercise is a ‘right-wing’ plot against climate science.

What is needed is not for the student to win the scientific debate, but simply to understand that it is there and it is big.

After six years of tedious litigation, a court in Vancouver, British Columbia appears set to hand down a ruling involving one of the most controversial claims ever made in support of human-induced global warming. Michael Mann refused to provide his temperature proxy data despite a court order. What is he afraid we’ll discover?

“When Al Gore, Jr. associates these moral movements of history with one grounded in questionable data, he gives climate change activists unearned moral credibility they haven’t earned and don’t deserve.”

Carbon offsets were worthless to the Clintons once their PR value wore out.
