this guardian The article title is 'We have emotions too': Climate scientists respond to attacks on objectivity It's a remarkable exercise in self-pity, in which climate scientists vent about the allegedly unfair criticism they face. This was in response to the backlash the Guardian received after it published a silly survey last May These self-appointed climate saviors insist that their predictions should be accepted without question, and when they are not, they complain about how cruel and unfair the world is to them. It’s not the science that’s under attack – it’s the fragile egos that are screaming when the…
From the Daily Caller Irving KlinskyContributor Data released by the Biden-Harris administration on Oct. 17 shows that a push to electrify everything will increase costs for American households, contradicting one of the White House's favorite selling points for the green agenda, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

From the Daily Skeptic by Eugippius German climateism is accompanied by all sorts of naive ideas and bright pink fairy tale slogans. A dubious proverb among the latter declares “The sun sends no bills” (German: “The sun doesn't send bills”). These proverbs seemed to make sense at first (is there anything more liberal and democratic than sunshine?), but turned out to be essentially the opposite. In fact, the energy transition has left German taxpayers paying for the sun to shine billions of euros. This is becoming a complete disaster, and what's worse is that the more we expand our solar…
from climaterealism Author: Linny Luken A recent CBS News article, “Chicago,” asked a question that no one is asking: “Will climate change put the Chicago area at greater risk from hurricanes?” The question and the thinking behind it are ridiculous.

PEIS covers six commercial wind leases along the New Jersey and New York coasts, totaling more than 488,000 acres. While its main focus is on outlining measures to “avoid, minimize, mitigate and monitor” impacts, the fact that…
