Share this…FacebookTwitterIn a new paper, two astrophysicists shred the IPCC-preferred and model-based PMOD solar data set and affirm the ACRIM, which is rooted in observation and shows an increase in total solar irradiance (TSI) during the 1980-2000 period. They suggest a “significant percentage” of recent climate change has been solar-driven. Scafetta and Willson, 2019 I. […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterAlarmists say that sea levels are rising rapidly, and unless we act now to take over the climate using the secret man-made CO2 reduction method, soon New York and even Cologne, Germany, will end up in water. At least that’s the alarmist scenario that the Truth Media like to tell us about. However, a […]

Share this…FacebookTwitter Markus Somm of the Swiss Baseler Zeitung (BaZ) here has an interesting commentary on why Spiegel and CNN-award wining journalist Claas Relotius had been able to get away with writing totally made up stories for as long as he did.

Share this…FacebookTwitterBy Thomas Lifson Read more, original story at The American Thinker here.

Share this…FacebookTwitterAbout a week ago I reported here how Germany’s “Solar Valley” spectacularly crashed into the wall of reality, turning into an industrial Death Valley, as almost the entire solar components production industry collapsed and left tens of thousands without jobs. Bleak future for Germany’s wind industry. Image: Wasili Karbe, cropped from video here. And the […]

All the talk was about Texas having entered a state of permadrought with no relief in sight. Now let’s fast-forward ahead 3 years to 2018. In […]

We all feel the frustration in the debate as we have two sides entrenched with only a few people daring to take a position between all the flying arrows. From now on Kenneth and I will […]

Like many of us, I’m quite surprised by the absurd calls for impeachment of a President who has done nothing wrong. Just because he does things people don’t agree with and is sand in the Establishment machinery, this in no way constitutes grounds for impeachment. It’s a […]
