It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Polar Bears Refuse to Die









Perhaps this is why. Mother Nature ignores the New York Times.



Perhaps it is getting colder now and NOT warmer.

















Does this make sense?

Mental Health and Climate Change


If the prospect of human caused climate change is bad for your mental health should we be surprised that climate alarmism also causes people mental distress?

People are bombarded with propaganda telling them (1) humans are destroying the world through global warming, (2) nearly everybody is to blame through selfish utilization of natural resources, and (3) there is little hope of saving the world from imminent climate catastrophe. Of course this messaging will exacerbate mental health strains for many people.”

Climate change is becoming big business for psychologists.

What if there is nothing to be alarmed about?

What if it is really all about money and prestige? And the annual trip to far away places.

Are we being scammed because they can?

Are they chuckling at our expense?

Will someone please study the impacts of false beliefs on the mental health of people?

Will someone please study the impacts of being scammed on the mental health of people?

Will someone please study the impacts of  scamming on the mental health of the scammers?

From the article on climate alarmism:

“The best way to alleviate mental health strains tied to global warming is to report truthfully on climate science rather than nefariously exaggerate, embellish, and fear-monger about the earth’s climate future.”

Good advice.

Meanwhile a primary solution advanced to alleviate global warming causes its own health problems.




Hysterics Hype Hyperbolic Hysteria


Dueling opinions since the release of the UN IPCC’s latest (SR1.5) apocalyptic report.


Below is a sample of the hysterical cries from those who promote man made climate alarmism from the human emission of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels..












But..And yet... there are those who disagree - not only pundits and scientists but the data they collect. (rely on)




Ben Pile: The UN IPCC 'is driven by a political agenda, not a scientific one...The IPCC was asked to consider the 1.5°C target, not because a new scientific understanding demanded it, but because of the need for a new dose of urgency.'
'In 2014, the summary for policymakers warned that climate change can increase the risks of conflict and migration. But this was totally unsupported by the technical parts of the document.'
"Every IPCC report has been the ‘final call’. Every UNFCCC meeting has been the ‘last chance’. Countless climate deadlines have passed but arctic ice still exists. The polar bears still exist. And most frustratingly of all for these environmentalists, the world’s human population is doing better than ever before. It is not the IPCC’s science that appeals to these vapid hacks – it is the cover it provides for their profoundly undemocratic impulses."










“You could see this coming, you could see the whole pattern coming,” Bastardi said. “We talked to Sean on the 16th of September, I said I’ll be seeing you again in October probably because of a big Gulf storm.” Bastardi added, “It’s not because of your SUV, this is what nature is capable of doing, and you could see this pattern setting up pretty far in advance.”

Mother Nature IS the Consensus


Mother Nature speaks to us through our measurements of her actions whether those be counting instances of extreme weather or measuring temperatures, sea level rise or snow cover. We track these over time to see what is changing by observing the trends.

The trends indicate the world is a little warmer now than at the end of the Little Ice Age in 1850 but Mother Nature has become gentler with her deliverance of extreme weather. The temperature rise of the late twentieth century has ceased for the last twenty years - a little known fact rarely appearing in the MSM.

Some recent evidence of her beneficence appear below.

Paris Agreement Status PRIOR to COP24




COP24 will take place from 3-14 December 2018, in Katowice, Poland

As we approach COP24 let us review where we are.


CHINA shows how seriously it is committed to reducing CO2.



The UK stokes up coal use.


The EU backs away from its commitments.


Canada puts on the climate brakes.


Fracking has lowered the domestic demand for COAL in the US but...


...the rest of the world seems unconcerned about reducing CO2 emissions.

Does the US realize how costly the implementation of the Paris Agreement would be?


And the UN continues with its planned myopia or fear mongering.


Dissenting Voices:









Will they be heard or heeded?






NOT LIKELY. They are gearing up for more fear mongering. YAWN! Must be a COP conference coming up.
