Facebook “Fact Checks” Prof. Will Happer

By Angela Wheeler The only way to combat censorship is to shine a light on it whenever we see it. In censoring material that contradicts the popular – though increasingly feeble – fiction of a climate crisis, Facebook is quick to discount the credentials of one of the world’s leading scientists while honoring sources ofContinue reading “Facebook “Fact Checks” Prof. Will Happer”

The errors and misstatements in “Climate Denialism”

By Andy May The featured image is by Josh, used with permission. There are 20 clearly false statements and three additional problematic statements in Tinus Pulles’ “Climate Denialism.” Most of them stem from disagreements on how to interpret existing data. However, some are due to his lack of understanding of what we wrote or, intentionalContinue reading “The errors and misstatements in “Climate Denialism””

The AJES Response to May & Crok

By Andy May The featured image is the key figure 2 from May & Crok. This post is mostly a list of errors and misinformation in the AJES (The American Journal of Economics and Sociology) board’s response by Ted Gwartney and Alexandra Lough to May & Crok. But first I applaud the board’s decision toContinue reading “The AJES Response to May & Crok”

Drought in the Southwestern U.S.

By Andy May The featured image is a photograph of the Big Bend area in Texas in October 2015 when the drought index was moderately moist. The photo was taken by the author. Stories of some sort of current catastrophic drought in the western U.S. are greatly exaggerated (apologies to Mark Twain). While the westernContinue reading “Drought in the Southwestern U.S.”

Climate Models, Clouds, OLR, and ECS

By Andy May To read this post in German see here, translation by Christian Freuer. The IPCC and the climate “consensus” believe that essentially all warming since 1750 is due to man’s emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases as shown in figure 1 here or in (IPCC, 2021, p. 961). This has led toContinue reading “Climate Models, Clouds, OLR, and ECS”

Climate Change over the past 4000 Years

By Andy May I last wrote about Climate Change and Civilization for the past 4,000 Years in 2016. Since then, a lot has changed, and I’ve learned a lot more about the subject. First, we learned that various air and sea temperature proxies, such as ice core δ18O or tree rings, are all different. ForContinue reading “Climate Change over the past 4000 Years”

Natural Climate Change Factors

By Andy May “Consensus” scientists do not believe that solar variability, internal climate variability (in this model simplified to the ~67-year stadium wave), or volcanism influence net global warming or climate change since 1750, yet considerable evidence exists that these factors have an impact. I’ve previously built a model of the HadCRUT5 global average temperatureContinue reading “Natural Climate Change Factors”

Suppression of Science and Inconvenient Truths

By Andy May This is the text of a talk I gave at an American Institute for Economic Research Bastiat Society of Houston Meeting on September 26, 2024. The IPCC, or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, AR6 report and the so-called “climate consensus” cabal hide and suppress many inconvenient truths that run counter toContinue reading “Suppression of Science and Inconvenient Truths”
