MACDONALD: CO2 is Not a Pollutant

October 24, 2025 Steve MacDonald

We can’t say this enough. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. It is chemically incapable of achieving a tipping point. Accumulation leads to saturation, resulting in a decline in radiative forcing. There’s even evidence that the majority of the (irrelevant) rise has very little to do with human activity. CO2 is not just good for … Read more

MacDonald: Warming and CO2 are Essential to Life on Earth

October 23, 2025June 24, 2025 Steve MacDonald

It reached 100 degrees in New Hampshire’s largest city today. It’s no surprise that the spot with the most asphalt and concrete was slightly warmer than the rest. It’s the largest heat island in the state, but if you dare suggest that these urban encroachments have corrupted the temperature data, you’ll get a good talking … Read more

“Experts” Admit CO2 Greens The Earth … But That’s Bad!

May 30, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The Climate Cult’s Green Meanines have been blaming increased atmospheric CO2 for everything, including wildfires—and there is (sort of, kind of) a connection. Arsonists are starting fires when none begin on their own, and then the media and activists blame that on rising CO2.

While Scaremongering CO2 NOAA (Unintentionally) Admits No Correlation to Sea Level Rise … or Fossil Fuels

April 26, 2024 Steve MacDonald

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Climate Cult’s got some new problems to address. A reliable government advocate for the fossil-fuels-drive-the-apocalypse narrative just kicked their scientific consensus in the McNuggets – twice.

Your Breath is Destroying the Planet!

December 19, 2023 Steve MacDonald

When scientism coughs up “research” suggesting that your exhaled breath is not a negligible contribution to man-caused climate change, your first thought should be, where can I buy a firearm?

Demolishing the Human-Induced “Climate Emergency” Fairy Tale

November 22, 2023November 22, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Professor Ian Plimer has some unpleasant news for the Climate Cult and a few not-entirely kind words for their methods. The presentation is form CPAC Australia, which begin with the words, ‘I don’t have opinions; I have demonstrable facts.’

Norway: There’s No Conclusive Evidence that CO2 is Driving Temperature Change

October 25, 2023October 25, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Climate Cult is more than willing to change whatever it must to keep its confidence scam alive. That’s what they mean when they say climate change. They don’t mean temperature; they mean the Climate data and the Climate narrative.

Is Blaming ‘Chinese CO2’ for Global Warming Racist?

September 25, 2023 Steve MacDonald

China is building coal plants faster than a Democrat can stuff a ballot box, earning it the glorious distinction of being the world’s leader in CO2 and air pollution emissions.

You Haven’t Decarbonized a Damn Thing

August 25, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Vermont Public is playing with words again. A recent piece titled, “Vermont farmers say they need more gov’t help as climate change causes more extreme weather,” almost sounds like Vermont Farmers are saying they need help because of climate change.

There is no Connection Between Low Atmospheric CO2 to Less Extreme Weather

June 18, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Climate Cult’s apocalyptic prognostications don’t hold up well when compared to facts and science, but anyone who points this out is smeared as a denier. To be fair, I do deny the validity of their arguments, their “science,” the alleged causes, effects, and cures.

We’re Only Ten Days Into June and NOAA’s Summer Temp and Precip Trial Balloon is Losing Altitude

June 11, 2023 Steve MacDonald

You’ll have heard the “news.” Hyperbolic predictions for another El Nina summer. My past reporting, and I’m no expert, suggests there’s no discernable pattern for temperature or precipitation even as that itty-bitty trace gas, CO2, has claimed a few parts per million.

UN Says CO2 Hurts Women and Girls – Is That Why Men Keep Ending Up In Their Bathrooms?

May 21, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Modern Man-Made CO2 emissions have been blamed for a long list of things but how about this? The current Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, says “The climate crisis is not gender neutral.”

Emissions Update: Rice Is Wrecking The Planet

May 29, 2023April 19, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The list of things that are bad for the planet is a lot shorter than people have been led to believe. In truth it consists of Marie-Antoinette-like globalists and the political muppets who use your money to fund their destructive agenda. Wait, no. It’s not. It’s rice!

Is This The Biggest Climate Cult Lie Ever?

February 13, 2023February 11, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Climate Cult’s record is not good. Their “frontmen” keep making predictions that never come true. Their prescriptions are not “green.” And there is no evidence that their “cure” will result in the changes prophesized. There is, however, evidence that it won’t.

Reminder: The Weather Was Worse When We Had Less Atmospheric CO2 …

February 3, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Reminder: The Weather Was Worse When We Had Less Atmospheric CO2 …

There are a lot of lies when it comes to the Climat Cult. That there’s a crisis, that they can fix it, and that CO2 is the driver. Not only is CO2, not the driver the greenhouse effect does not drive the earth’s climate.

Hide and Seek

December 23, 2022 Steve Earle

No wonder Freedom of Information laws have had to be created in the past decade or so. So many elected officials have been hiding so many underhanded dealings that once could be expected to be uncovered by real reporters. Sadly, they are now few and far between. They used to keep those officials thinking about … Read more

The Left’s Green-Energy Agenda Leads to Record Coal Use in 2022

December 23, 2022December 23, 2022 Steve MacDonald

How often have we said it? Whatever the Political Left claims, the opposite is always the truth. From Women’s rights to Crime Prevention to Poverty to Lowering Health Care Costs. The end result is always the opposite, and that includes CO2 emissions.

2022 Hurricane Season Confirms (Again!) No Connection Between CO2 and Cyclone Energy

December 8, 2022December 7, 2022 Steve MacDonald

If you recall, way back in February, the shamans and witchdoctors at NOAA – revered by the Climate Cult for their computer modeling wisdom – predicted a busier-than-normal Atlantic hurricane season for 2022. It wasn’t even just below average.

Have I Got a Climate-Change Rebuttal for You!

October 12, 2022 Op-Ed

My friend Malcolm Hughes lives in Western Australia, near Perth. He is the most diligent citizen I know, always acting responsibly about whatever his government gets up to. Mal has now come up with a common-sense rebuttal to the narrative of climate change, especially its element of flatulence.

Notable Quote – See, SCOTUS Was Right in Its Beatdown on the EPA and CO2 Emissions!

July 1, 2022July 1, 2022 Skip

I found this back on April 1 but it is no April Fool’s Day joke – it is serious stuff and shows that yesterday’s SCOTUS decision (on which I’ll have more to say later) was correct as we on the Right have been watching the rise of The Administrative State.
