Climate Alarm On The Run

It’s not sad in the least that the Washington Post has cut its climate “reporting” team down to five lonely reporters. It is, in fact, encouraging that maybe we’re seeing the winding down of decades of political and scientific villainy disguised as concern for our planet. Give us more, please. Not four years ago, the Washington Post announced it was “pleased to introduce” an “expansion of Climate coverage.” (Yes, Climate is so important to the Post that the “c” must be capitalized.)

Yes, it is true that I have in my own lifetime lived through three bogus claims regarding our planet's weather - a new Ice Age, Global Warming, and most recently, Climate Change. All of these were based on shoddy science and false extrapolations of fake data. Our wealthy elites have used the claims to make even more money pushing fear down our throats. But the misuse of science to make foolish predictions and exert control upon people is not new and not limited to weather. Thomas Malthus in 1798 wrote that the world's population would grow exponentially and soon outstrip food supplies leading to mass starvation. His ideas have contributed to our 'betters' encouraging smaller families, birth control, and the murder of both young and now, the old. I am not suggesting that man through his 'brilliance' and better technology will avert all worldly disasters but I am noting that 'bad news sells' and scientists are purveyors of bad news in order to secure research funding and, of course, fame. Thomas Mann, anyone?

I wonder if the "lonely" reporters are even reporters. The elite simply need a smoke screen to take money out of the treasury. Even if they owned the Secretary of the Treasury, they cannot simply have Treasury write them a personal check. The money must be appropriated to "save the planet" and then paid to people who will carry out this nebulous task, and THEN the elites can get their money. True, a lot of palms have to be greased, but it's a lot safer than robbing banks and they get more money on a more regular basis.

FTA: "It’s not sad in the least that the Washington Post has cut its climate “reporting” team down to five lonely reporters. It is, in fact, encouraging that maybe we’re seeing the winding down of decades of political and scientific villainy disguised as concern for our planet. Give us more, please." About that "decades of political and scientific villainy", many of these charlatans who foisted this climate clownery on the U.S./World really need to be behind bars for their perfidy on this subject. How can one even begin to enumerate the lives lost and trillions wasted on all this to date? As far as people like climate nag Sammy Roth, if he is so adamant in believing all this junk science maybe he ought to make his biggest and best contribution by ceasing CO2 emanations!

Ignorant populations are controlled by FEAR so be afraid, be very afraid!! WE will protect you from all of the boogie men we create but you have to bend to our will and contribute to our coffers! I reflect upon the 70s and Erlich's Population Bomb promoting zero population growth. : “The battle to feed all of humanity is over....hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death...nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate...mass starvation...a dying planet" Of course when it didn't happen it was claimed to be the "warning" that prevented it. But, the western world bought it but somehow there was enough food for the third world which continued to multiply. For decades now that stupidity has been repeated with energy

"We don’t, and never did, need global warming activists in lab coats." When you have activists doing research, about anything, they are probably going to find exactly what they WANT to find, justification for their strongly held beliefs. Real science is best done by sceptics who believe in honest investigation. When things don't line up as expected, they say so and examine why. They look for hard proof, not innuendo and suspicion based on weak evidence. If you see die off of a species and assume a man made environmental cause you might find human actions that are happening at the same time. Then, an activist will claim a connection/causation without proof. A scientist will dig deeper to determine is it is coincidence or causality. Example: My neighbor and I both tend to leave for work at almost the exact same time. Yesterday, I ran over my mailbox while backing out. Since my neighbor was also getting ready to leave, my accident was caused by him. Further investigation shows the accident occured when I spilled coffee on myself and lost control of my vehicle. The neighbor's presence was mere coincidence. If activists are working on science, everyone should be very dubious about their findings. In fact, their eagerness should disqualify them from scientific studies on the focus of their activism. People PAY for these studies and PICK activists to get the outcomes that they desire. The activists KNOW this and get a paycheck (sometime a BIG one) for pushing their cause. If you really want to know what is going on, hire a sceptic.

Drama over the climate won't be "dead" until they remove the lies from textbooks and schoolrooms, and they definitely haven't done that yet. If schools taught kids HOW to think rather than WHAT to think, we'd be in much better shape. #1: You forgot the hole in the ozone layer nonsense, oh, and the hype about an "over-populated planet--we're all going to die from starvation" is also still being taught in school as well.

A cheerful trend away from the BS fake 'science' of MMGW which morphed into Anthropogenic Climate Change. Both are fictional ways to attempt to gain money and power. Human activities have no impact on global climate. Relax, enjoy.

As the FBI scrambles to find Nancy Guthrie’s abductors, Democrats in Congress are preparing their own kind of kidnapping. Except, instead of one victim, they want to hold the entire country hostage. After shutting the government down for a record 43 days last fall in the vain hope of keeping “temporary” Obamacare subsidies in place, the once respectable political party has now decided on an even more bizarre and disturbing kidnapping scheme. It plans to hold funding for the Department of Homeland Security hostage if it can’t convince Republicans to agree to ICE “reforms.”

The latest jobs report had good news for the country, but terrible news for the party of Big Government. In January, the economy added 172,000 private sector jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which was better than economists had expected (which seems to be a running theme in the Trump administration). And the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3%. So, what’s the bad news for Democrats? The number of federal government jobs shrank by 32,000. Worse still, this is on top of a string of monthly government job losses since President Trump

When Stellantis last week announced it was writing down $26 billion, the CEO of the car company that now owns Chrysler, Antonio Filosa, said it was “part of a decisive process we started in 2025 to once again make our customers and their preferences our guiding star.” Which begs the question: What was Stellantis’ guiding star before if not its own customers? For that matter, who or what has been guiding General Motors (which announced a $7.6 billion writedown last month), Ford ($19.5 billion), and other automakers that’ve written down a total of $140 billion in just the past three years?

Americans have lived with the threat of nuclear war for more than seven decades, yet the deadly weapons get little serious attention outside of wonky policy circles. But, as a major U.S.-Russia nuclear weapons agreement expires and nuclear talks with Iran continue, most Americans show real concern about the threat of nuclear war, the latest I&I/TIPP poll shows. For the February poll, I&I/TIPP asked four questions related to the nuclear threat. The first asked: “How concerned are you about the risk of nuclear conflict involving the United States, Russia, or China?” By 2-to-1, or 62% to 31%, Americans said

If they can sustain today’s anger, the argument goes, voters will turn out in droves to clip the Trump administration’s wings in his last two years in office.

Californians have a right to be angry about Minnesota. It’s getting all the federal government attention for its illegal immigration, street violence, fraud and graft when California, in fact, is the king of all those civic sins. Yes, Minnesota and its lead city, Minneapolis, are impressive in the scale of fraud, estimated currently at billions of dollars, according to the Cato Institute’s recent “Fraud Update.” Not bad for a blue state, especially one with just 5.8 million people. But let’s be honest. Minnesota’s inhabitants are mere pikers compared to those in the Golden State. There, the level of fraud and corruption, immigrant and otherwise, has reached shocking levels.

Love him or hate him, President Donald Trump’s favorability ratings have plateaued in recent months, despite violent demonstrations in major cities, the possibility of military action against Iran, and continuing concerns among Americans about “affordability,” February’s I&I/TIPP Poll data show. Each month, I&I/TIPP asks voters questions about presidential leadership, the first being: “Overall, is your opinion of Donald Trump generally favorable, generally unfavorable, or are you not familiar enough to say one way or the other?” This month’s online national poll, taken by 1,384 voters, showed virtually no change overall:

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists’ “Doomsday Clock,” which is supposed to be an expert assessment of how close the world is to a nuclear holocaust, ticked down to 85 seconds to midnight this week. Are you scared? You shouldn’t be. The clock has proved to be a terrible measure of doomsday, but a near-perfect measure of the left’s grip on power, reliably moving away from midnight when Democrats are in the White House, and closer to Armageddon during Republican administrations. First, look at the reasons behind why it ticked closer to midnight this year. One of those listed

As most know by now, Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” global warming propaganda film turned 20 a few days ago. It won a couple of Oscars in 2007, one for best documentary. The latter should be returned. The movie was filled with errors. Exalting the celluloid screed with an Academy Award for best documentary is the equivalent of handing the Nobel Peace Prize to a terrorist, an incompetent, a fraud, an unaccomplished charlatan, and, yes, Gore himself, because it was far more a faux-umentary than an honest account of the facts.

A horrible tragedy occurred yesterday in Canada when a killer, later identified as a “trans identifying woman,” shot nine people to death and injured 27 others, before turning the gun on himself. The Canadian establishment has been desperate to hide the truth about the shooter, but this was not a secret the establishment could sit on. The shooting took place at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in tiny Tumbler Ridge, a remote rural community in British Columbia. The killer began by murdering two people at a home, then headed for the secondary school (grades 7-12), where he opened fire. Six people died on school grounds, and one died en route

Evanston’s Reparations Committee announced last week that 44 people will be getting $25,000 each, for a total of $1.1 million, according to the Chicago Tribune. All 44 are descendants of individuals who qualify under the city’s program that pays out reparations to black residents who claimed they experienced housing discrimination between 1919 and 1969. The payments are intended to be used for housing expenses, Cynthia Vargas, Evanston’s communications and community engagement manager, said.
