One of the biggest problems with the left’s emphasis on climate change is the fact that skeptics end up throwing out all environmental concerns on the basis of the “flimsy evidence” for global warming. That’s unfortunate, because the reality is that we are actually doing a lot of damage to the environment, even if the […]

Not everyone is […]

He plans to use these pictures as visual motivation for the American public to get involved in the fight against global warming or climate change or meteorological macro-fluctuations or whatever: He reached another post reading “1951,” a marker for the edge of Alaska’s […]

According to climate scientists, who apparently have just recently started looking at the sun, a quiet sun is going to cause a severe dip in global temperatures—possibly resulting in another “Little Ice Age”: Climate experts warn the amount of light and warmth released by the sun is nosediving to levels […]

We’re talking about the latest summer blockbuster from Disney. Tomorrowland is certainly similar to most summer blockbusters.

But what exactly is causing some of the lowest temperatures and heaviest snowfall in recent memory? Some scientists (not on the […]
Continue reading →According to the LA Times, a new study reveals that the warming that has occurred over the past century for the West Coast is largely attributable to natural fluctuations in oceanic winds: Changes in ocean circulation as a result of weaker winds were the main cause of about 1 degree Fahrenheit of warming in the northeast […]

Left-wingers harp just as fiercely on climate change, ebola outbreaks, and income inequality. According to a recent poll, Democrats think climate change is as potentially dangerous as the threat of terrorism: Sixty-eight percent of […]

Not to be deterred by inconvenient facts, global warming alarmists are using this trend […]
