Anyone who thinks The Science™ of climate change is “settled” has not only never read the serious climate science literature, they’ve almost certainly never talked to a great many climate scientists. What the legacy media and politicians serve up to you as “climate science” is, in fact, cherry-picked
As recently reported, 536AD is regarded by some as the worst year in human history. All of Europe, the Middle East and even parts of Asia and the Americas were plunged into sudden cold and darkness. The sun gave no warmth and didn’t even cast shadows at noon. Crops
Australian scientist Ian Plimer has written that “we must be the first generation of humans to be afraid of a warming climate”. Plimer isn’t wrong: there’s a reason wealthy Europeans flocked to warmer climates, especially for their health. The study of history shows that cooling climates are invariably

It’s something we all learn in high school biology: plants “breathe in” carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Animals breathe in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. The only problem is that that isn’t the whole story. Nothing in nature is 100% clear-cut or efficient. Humans (and other animals)

The same army of grotty unemployables and interfering old biddies who’ll chain themselves to a development if it allegedly threatens a single, obscure breed of finch, are conspicuously absent when wind turbines are mincing dozens of
