Meanwhile, […]
Reality-based climate forecasting
Continuing to focus on carbon dioxide as the driving force will just bring more bogus predictions Paul Driessen These days, even shipwreck museums showcase evidence of climate change. After diving recently among Key West’s fabled ship-destroying barrier reefs, I immersed myself in exhibits from the Nuestra Senora de Atocha, the fabled Spanish galleon that foundered during a […]
Environmentalist insurance policies
Intellectual ammo for holiday party responses to claims that you need meteorite insurance Paul Driessen Many liberals went into denial, outrage and riot mode after November 8.

Sea level rise – or land subsidence?
Alarmist claims about rising seas inundating coastal areas blame the wrong culprit Paul Driessen and Roger Bezdek In his 2006 Inconvenient Truth mockumentary, Al Gore infamously predicted melting ice caps would cause oceans to rise “up to 20 feet” (6.1 meters) “in the near future.” Kevin Costner’s 1995 “action thriller” Water World presumed totally melting planetary ice would almost submerge […]

Now wild bee junk science and scare stories drive demands for anti-pesticide regulations Paul Driessen As stubborn facts ruin their narrative that neonicotinoid pesticides are causing a honeybee-pocalypse, environmental pressure groups are shifting to new scares to justify their demands for “neonic” bans.

When will Africa get healthy and prosperous?
When will its leaders focus on vital issues affecting its people, instead of lining their pockets?

SEC issues climate chaos “guidance”
What about risks from anti-energy policies imposed in the name of stopping climate change? Paul Driessen President Obama continues to use “dangerous manmade climate change” to justify a massive regulatory onslaught that will “fundamentally transform” America’s energy, economic, business, industrial, social, legal and constitutional systems before he leaves office.

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. That’s why Albert Einstein once joked, “If […]
