‘Settled Science’ Is Getting Unsettled as Government Support Wanes

Article (referring to the US government) by H. Sterling Burnett.

Extract:

For the first time in more than a decade, climate alarmists must seriously engage with climate realists on climate science questions. Recently, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) release of “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate,” by a group of prominent scientists including John Christy, Ph.D.; Judith Curry, Ph.D.; Steven Koonin, Ph.D.; Ross McKitrick, Ph.D.; and Roy Spencer, Ph.D., has forced alarmists to address realists’ longstanding questions, concerns, and critiques of the argument that humans are causing dangerous climate change, rather than dismissing them out of hand because the “science is settled.”

The DOE report, among other things, debunks claims that climate change is causing worsening extreme weather events, discusses why rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels have a decreasing influence over global temperatures, and how the same increase in CO2 is causing a beneficial global greening, and it examines the myriad currently poorly understood natural factors that complicate attributing rising temperatures and changes in climate to human energy use.

UK Met Office Flirts With Conspiracy Theory as it Slams Critics of Its ‘Junk’ Temperature Measuring Sites

Article by Chris Morrison.

The UK Met Office has lurched into conspiracy theory territory in a desperate attempt to rescue scientific credibility in its Net Zero-weaponised ‘junk’ temperature measuring network. In a recent public pronouncement, it claimed: “The efforts of a small number of people to undermine the integrity of Met Office observations by obscuring or misrepresenting facts is an attempt to undermine decades of robust science around the world’s changing climate.” The astonishing outburst relates of course to the recent revelations of the Daily Sceptic and a number of citizen sleuths. In March 2024, the Daily Sceptic disclosed that nearly 80% of all UK measuring sites are so poorly located they have massive temperature ‘uncertainties’. Meanwhile, Ray Sanders and Dr Eric Huxter have provided convincing proof of the lamentable state of the unnatural heat-ravaged network and its tendency to produce elevated temperatures and short-term heat spikes.

Trump Administration Finally Pulls the Plug on the Climate Fear Factory

Article by Charles Rotter.

The long-overdue showdown with America’s most bloated, self-important arm of climate alarmism finally arrived this week — and what a spectacle it was. In a move that should have happened years ago, the Trump administration decisively dismissed the hundreds of so-called “experts” who were preparing the next National Climate Assessment (NCA) — a document often weaponized to justify costly and draconian climate policies that the American people neither asked for nor benefit from.
