Long, Cold Winter Makes Senator Look Like a Fool
This year’s long, cold winter is making the U.S. Senate’s top global warming alarmist, liberal Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island, eat his words and play the part of a fool.

Hydro Power Gives Michigan a Renewable Energy Advantage
Many states are scrambling to identify low-emission power sources to comply with federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions, but Michigan is blessed with affordable, reliable, zero-emission hydro power to help meet the restrictions. Policymakers in the Great Lakes State would be wise to take advantage of these hydro power resources.

If Erica Grow Didn’t Rip Up our Global Warming Flier, Maybe She’d Understand the Science Better
Television weather presenter Erica Grow deserves a hearty Thank You for advertising The Heartland Institute’s new pamphlet, “Global Warming: Crisis or Delusion.” Grow also perfectly illustrated how global warming alarmists can expand their knowledge with assistance from the new pamphlet.

Global Warming Is a Political Ruse in Florida Governor’s Race
Liberal billionaire Tom Steyer, who made his fortune funding coal power in third-world nations, is leading the global warming push in Florida, spending $10 million on anti-Scott political ads. The ads take a decidedly negative and sarcastic tone, including claiming Scott’s plan to address global warming is to build an ark for himself and his friends.

It is a nice thought, James Conca, but no, a carbon tax cannot create jobs, jobs, jobs.
Activists Make Embarrassing Errors Attacking Texas Climate Texts
The climate activist group National Center for Science Education embarrassed itself last month by making basic errors attacking climate science in Texas.
Alarmists Respond to Summer Freeze with Climate March
No major hurricane has struck the Northeast since Hurricane Gloria came ashore on Long Island and then pushed up the Connecticut River Valley in 1985, and Gloria is the only major hurricane to strike the Northeast in the past 50 years.
Global Warming Is Benefiting Trees, Forests
Global warming alarmists and their media allies invariably report agenda-driven predictions of global warming doom and gloom as “science” while ignoring real-world scientific observations showing substantial global warming benefits.
Sorry, Steve Running, Wildfires Are Decreasing with Global Warming
A Billings Gazette article last week quoted University of Montana global warming activist Steve Running claiming major wildfires have quadrupled since 1986, but the facts show wildfires are actually declining.

Global Warming Pause Puts ‘Crisis’ in Perspective
Much has been written and argued, from all sides in the global warming debate, about the meaning of the asserted 17-year pause in global warming. Is a 17-year pause significant? Is a pause even occurring? Does the pause signal a longer-term halt to global warming or even a long-term cooling trend? Would a resumption of global warming to pre-pause rates end the global warming debate? A look at recent temperatures and their appropriate context provides helpful meaning to the much-discussed global warming pause.

Mismanagement, Not Global Warming, Caused Chicago Sewage Overflows
Global warming is not the reason why Chicago’s 1800s-era sewer system occasionally floods people’s basements, despite Washington Post propaganda to the contrary. Instead, the culprits are the age of Chicago’s sewer system and the city’s tremendous population growth since the 1800s.
Government Data Show U.S. in Decade-Long Cooling
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s most accurate, up-to-date temperature data confirm the United States has been cooling for at least the past decade. The NOAA temperature data are driving a stake through the heart of alarmists claiming accelerating global warming.

Obama’s Climate McCarthyism Demeans Presidential Office
President Barack Obama demeaned the dignity of the presidency by ridiculing tens of thousands of scientists for simply disagreeing with his lay opinions on global warming. While the political left throws shrill temper tantrums against anybody who “disrespects” the Office of the Presidency by asking Barack Obama a challenging question (something they had no qualms about during the Bush administration), Obama himself is setting the applicable ground rules for disrespectful political discourse and climate McCarthyism.

Ohio Turns the Tide on Renewable Power Mandates
Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Friday signed a law blocking scheduled increases in the state’s renewable power mandates, punctuating a broader effort among the states to roll back the once-fashionable mandates. Just five years ago, proponents of renewable power mandates were aggressively playing offense in the state legislatures. Between 2004 and 2009, nearly half of all states enacted renewable power mandates, requiring a designated share of electricity delivery in the state to come from renewable sources. By 2009, 30 states had renewable power mandates, and renewable power proponents confidently talked of imposing mandates in all 50 states.

Sorry, Jerry Brown, Global Warming Is Reducing Wildfires
California Gov. Jerry Brown blames global warming and Republicans for recent wildfires in California, but objective scientific data show a decline in wildfires as our planet modestly warms.
Obama’s Foreign Policy Obsession With Global Warming Emboldens Putin
If Vladimir Putin had any misgivings about the consequences of invading Ukraine and taking the Crimea, the Obama foreign policy team gave Putin every reason to launch his invasion by soft-peddling the Ukraine crisis and publicly attacking U.S. climate scientists instead.
