Bill Nye the Scientism Guy
Facts don’t support his hypothesis, so he shouts louder, changes subjects and attacks his critics Willie Soon and István Markó True science requires that data, observations and other evidence support a hypothesis – and that it can withstand withering analysis and criticism – or the hypothesis is wrong.

RICO for government climate deniers?
How corrupt and fraudulent is the government “science” that denies natural climate change?

Masters of disguise

Last-ditch assaults on affordable energy
Obama and allies double down on biofuels and climate, and against carbon-based fuels Paul Driessen Separating reality from ideology and political agendas is difficult, but essential, if we are to revitalize our economy and help the world’s poorest families take their rightful places among Earth’s prosperous people. Energy reality is certainly in our favor. But ideological […]

Environmentalists say navy sonar hurts whales, but ignore impacts of offshore wind farms Paul Driessen and Mark Duchamp Between January 9 and February 4 this year, 29 sperm whales got stranded and died on English, German and Dutch beaches.

Ten killer questions that expose how wrong and ideologically driven they are by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley, Willie Soon and David R.
