cfact.org As I pointed out several years ago, the climate alarmists have a civil war going on between radicals and moderates. Radical leader Greta Thunberg’s famous “How dare you” was addressed to moderate COP negotiators, not skeptics. In recent years, every COP had been dominated by an angry
Remember when it was a crazy conspiracy theory that they were going to take your gas cooking and heating away? Oh, yes, you can guess where this is heading. California is already banning gas appliances. Australia’s wokest state, Victoria, is banning them in new constructions. Now, they’re coming

Rule of thumb: if the climate cultists are whinging, then it can’t be all bad. In fact, it’s usually downright hilarious. COP28, the latest of the annual climate cult beanos, has delivered the goods in spades. Particularly delicious is that Australia’s ‘Climate Change and Energy Minister’ has

We got as far as 2014 in the previous article and in 2015 the Environmental Defense Fund told us about six climate tipping points that scientists were worried about. 1. The Arctic sea ice melts. The melting of the Arctic summer ice is considered to be the single greatest threat,
With the advent of COP28, the media are in full climate-alarm mode and climate tipping points are once again in the headlines. The Guardian article goes on to say: Five important natural thresholds already risk being crossed, according to the Global Tipping Points report, and three more may be

The demise of the dinosaurs has long been a topic of intense fascination. Not least, it seems, because the realisation that dinosaurs had existed, and just what they were, nicely dovetailed with the Scientific Revolution. Having discovered that a host of gigantic ‘terrible lizards’ once thrived on Earth, the natural

A long time ago (1989) in a city far, far away (New York), we were all warned. There is no excuse. You were told: A senior UN environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend
