How Taxpayers are Funding Research Supporting the Administration’s Agenda in Climate Change and DEI

Commentary

Years ago, when concern for global warming began to heat up – pardon the pun – and climate change became part of the terminology, I recall writing about the plethora of studies coming out of our universities and think tanks that supported the government’s environmental agenda.

The U.S. has funneled billions, yes, billions, to the United Nations to fund the work of the International Panel on Climate Change, where funds go to hundreds of climate scientists in the development of their annual report, designed to scare the hell out of us.… read more

Modern Day ‘Chicken Little’ Issues New Warning of Global Warming

                                                            Commentary

Surely, you are familiar with the folk tale of Chicken Little, who was struck by an acorn falling from one of the trees, and was sure the sky was falling. 

Over the years, Chicken Little has become almost synonymous with alarmism, as a description of someone or group needlessly stoking fear.… read more

The GOP Needs to Stop Wasteful Spending on the Climate Change Fantasy

Commentary

Regular readers will recall my quoting the campaigning Joe Biden’s pledge to end our dependence on fossil fuels, and later President Biden’s executive order to end our energy independence and his costly legislation to transform the nation into a dependence on energy from wind and solar.

As I have previously written, I don’t think most of those who voted for Biden actually believed he would be able to follow through with his pledge, but here we are today, in an untenable position.… read more

Weather vs Climate … Our Woke Universities … and the Sorry State of the Fourth Estate

Commentary

President Biden was in Massachusetts Wednesday toying around with the idea of declaring a climate emergency.  A real emergency calls for immediate action. 

“If this is an emergency, call 911.”

But when the president says, “Let me be clear, climate change is an emergency,” he allows that “in the coming weeks, I’m going to use the power I have as president to turn these words into format, official government actions …”

While he talks about heatwaves and drought, no one reminds him that these are short-term atmospheric conditions of weather. … read more

Former Park Ranger Compares His Terminal Illness to Our Dying Planet in His Book

Commentary

When I read the headline, “Our national parks could be at higher risk from climate change,” over a column by Jean Meiners, climate reporter for the left-leaning Arizona Republic, my skepticism clicked in, but not just because I am tired of the left’s scare tactics.  Why would our national parks be at higher risk?… read more

The Future of Fossil Fuels Looks Bright Despite Climate Change Scare Tactics

Commentary

I know, you’re probably tired of hearing about global warming and climate change, but you need to know what the environmental wackos are feeding the media.

For example, the left-leaning Arizona Republic published an Associated Press article, “Storms batter aging power grid as climate disasters spread,” in which it claims that power outages from severe weather have doubled over the past two decades across the U.S.,… read more

More Scare Tactics from the UN at Our Expense

Commentary

“Human carbon pollution has already pushed the planet into unprecedented territory, ravaging ecosystems, raising sea levels and exposing millions of people to new weather extremes.  At the current rate of emissions, the world will burn through its remaining ‘carbon budget’ by 2030, putting the ambitious goal of keeping warming to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit irrevocably out of reach.”… read more

Climate Change: The Daily Humor it Generates

Commentary

Not a day goes by that I don’t hear or read something about climate change that doesn’t bring laughter from this blogger. 

Just last week, I wrote about dogsledders in southwest Michigan who were complaining that because of climate change, the frost-free season grew by 16 days over the past 66 years, resulting in less snowfall.… read more

Radical Progressives Push Biden to Declare National Climate Emergency

Commentary

The Democrat Party is known for its identity politics and have labeled Republicans as “racists,” “misogynists,” “nationalists,” and “white supremacists,” among others.

Worried about their own label as “liberals,” that conjured up a negative connotation, they began referring to themselves as “progressives,” supposedly more favorably looked upon as a group with a belief in improving the environment, conditions of life and a duty to take care of economic and social affairs.… read more
