Climate Change

As is so often the case with environmental industry campaigns, this is not about protecting the environment; it is about money.

The COP28 Climate Summit begins its second week of events and there is a lot to talk about.

Without fossil fuels, there is simply no way we could maintain the standard of living that we have become accustomed to. Daily life would be agonizing.

Gore ripped into the UAE for its carbon dioxide emissions, while also saying fossil fuel entities should not be allowed a seat at the table while the UN discusses carbon dioxide emissions.

In the end, objective scientific data does not show that human health is being negatively impacted by climate change, and it is certainly not the biggest health threat facing humanity.

With the global climate conference, COP28, starting this week, global warming rhetoric is being ramped up into high gear.

“Climate activists and Third World hucksters will descend on the UN climate conference in Dubai next week demanding America pay climate ‘reparations’ for fictitious climate harms.”

The COP28 event will emit large amounts of carbon dioxide but is unlikely to have any measurable effect on global temperatures.

On this week's show, we cover all the silliness and distortions in the Biden administration's National Climate Assessment #5.

Newsom’s superficial, last-minute attempt to sanitize San Francisco symbolizes the superficiality of the modern environmental movement and the misplaced priorities of climate change crusaders.

According to a recent report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the federal government has doled out $183.3 billion in direct and indirect subsidies for green energy over the past six years alone.

This week on Climate Change Roundtable, host Anthony Watts and panelists Linnea Lueken and H. Sterling Burnett debunk a video taking the corporate position on climate change.

Sadly, the climate change-industrial complex, a multi-trillion-dollar money machine, has irrevocably corrupted the once-hallowed scientific community.

Presidential power is only limited by the checks and balances of the other two branches, and then only if Congress or the courts decide to intervene.

Since 2010, there have been more than two dozen peer-reviewed studies determining the fracking process is not a systemic threat to groundwater.

Of course it is possible the states will simply ditch the targets, or slip them harmlessly into the future, so they can repeatedly reject the high bids. This might even wipe out offshore wind, which is what it deserves. Watching that happen, perhaps even helping it along, could be great fun.

Governments propose to replace hydrocarbon fuels with hydrogen fuel, using hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies. But vast subsidies won’t be enough to overcome the insurmountable problems with green hydrogen fuel.

The media has been quick to dub this the 'hottest summer on record', but what does that truly mean in the vast timeline of Earth's climatic history?

Like most people, I am fascinated by Native American history and traditions. There is much to admire about those people, several of whom are among my own ancestors. But we should not confuse that admiration with science. Most Native Americans today certainly would not do so.

The moral questions that are addressed by Pope Francis do merit consideration. Pollution and litter are real issues, along with unnecessary deforestation, overfishing, and poaching. Poverty is likewise something Christians are called to be concerned about. Fortunately, both of those issues can be aided by helping impoverished nations unlock their energy industries and invest in development. People are more concerned with conservation when they are not so worried about putting food on the table.

For far too long, the climate alarmists have held great sway over the dissemination of information that counters their narrative, including assistance from Big Tech in their quest to suppress any and all counterarguments. For anyone seeking an even-handed, fact-based approach to one of the most significant issues of our time, “A Climate Conversation” is a must-see.

Records like the ones kept by Columbus and his fellow voyagers are now indispensable for meteorologists who depend on them to piece together part of the picture of weather history. Sailors kept great records, which is how they knew to plot their courses and the timing of their departure from safe harbor so that they avoided being in hurricane hot zones during the peak of the season.

Before it is too late, those of us who will pay the ultimate price, both in a degraded standard of living and a less free and open society, must push back against the climate change-industrial complex. For if we do not, we may, as Ike warned, let “public policy … itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.”

Put simply, Pope Francis is completely wrong regarding all things concerning climate change. However, I can’t help but wonder if he is being used as a pawn by those who benefit from touting the climate change lie, seeing as how he is the leader of one of the most influential religious institutions the world over. Maybe climate change and religion, which are both based on belief, have more in common than we thought.
