“Please, Sue Us!”

July 27, 2024 Rob Roper

Of course, we knew this was coming. In fact, they told us so. It was one of the very first Behind the Lines stories back on January 30, 2023 (I started this column on January 11th of that year) that shared the video clip of The Conservation Law Foundation’s Chase Whiting testifying to the Senate Committee on Natural … Read more

Climate Alarmism Enriches Big-Donor Democrat Investors

August 3, 2024July 27, 2024 John Klar

Revelations that a hedge fund owned by Democratic Party megadonor James Simons invested heavily in several solar energy companies while his close friend, US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), boosted the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) raise questions about not only the ties between the two men but also between climate ideology and … Read more

Billy Butter: Gates Backs Synthetic Margarine Made Out of Thin Air

July 25, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Bill Gates has a lot of money and free time, especially since his wife Melinda left him, but filling it has not been a problem. He has dedicated at least some of both to finding ways to make you offset his carbon footprint. Climate Change concerns him, and he thinks we would benefit from finding … Read more

More CO2 = Fewer Heat Wave Days!

July 22, 2024July 22, 2024 Steve MacDonald

One of the fun things about science is if you allow it to happen, questioning theory, inquiry, data, analysis, and observation, the results tend to destroy the scientism peddled by the proglodytes. Who doesn’t want to do that? It’s fun. They get all spittley and hysterical and then call you names like denier. Yes. I … Read more

Is The Pivot From EVs Underway?

July 22, 2024 Steve MacDonald

I was never likely to buy a Hybrid vehicle – too expensive -but if you put that idea in the perspective of an energy transition, that would have been the only way to begin. Transition suggests a phasing in or out. What we got instead was an all-electric Vehicle vanguard. Push combustion engine vehicles off … Read more

What’s Causing This Brutal Heat Wave?

July 19, 2024 John Klar

Scathing summer heat has fueled incendiary headlines attributing record-breaking temperatures around the world to climate change. The presumption that individual weather events such as hurricanes, storms, or wildfires can be traced to greenhouse gas emissions displays the shoddy ideological fearmongering employed by climate alarmists in lieu of credible scientific fact. Noticeably omitted from assumptions that … Read more

Busted Wind Turbine Debris Closes Beaches During “Heat Wave”

July 18, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Regular readers caught the post yesterday about the heat in New England and how – it’s been hotter, but it is still hot. If you have a pool, you’re in it, and if you happen to be living or vacationing on a beach, that water is a much sought-after relief, unless you’re in Nantucket. Debris … Read more

Make Big Oil Pay? Court Says Nope!

July 18, 2024 Rob Roper

Just this past May, the Vermont legislature passed Act 122 (S.259), the Climate Superfund Bill also known as “Make Big Oil Pay!” The idea behind it is that Vermont taxpayers will blow $600,000 hiring a bunch of consultants and bureaucrats to manufacture a sciencey-looking, totally serious – no really — accounting of the damage done … Read more

Night Cap: The Rapid Change in “Climate Change” … Narrative

June 5, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Most of you knwo about the years or fire predictions in the 1970s. Scientists believed we were at the beginning of another ice age. Experts, along with a compliant media, pimped story after story about the precipice of frozen doom and what we should do about it.

The Next Hottest Summer Ever Update

April 24, 2024 Steve MacDonald

If the corporate media says it, the odds are good that it is misleading, an incomplete ‘truth,’ or a lie. But because they are so politically driven in their choices and coverage, you can almost glean the truth based on how hyperbolic their response is or how narrow their focus is.

The Earth is Warming … Since When?

March 9, 2024 Steve MacDonald

We’ve had a warm winter where I live. A statist stooge in neighboring Vermont said it’s the warmest winter on record. Oh yeah, since when? The correct answer is since the last time they had a warmer winter because that would mess with the narrative.

Baby, I’ts Cold Out …

January 13, 2024 Steve Earle

Here I go again, snow blowing our driveway, shoveling steps, and clearing the car twice each. Two days in a row are more than enough, and now, to top of everything, I had to listen to some “Chicken Little” disaster-promoting forecaster telling me all this cold weather is because of “Arctic warming.”

Shock Poll (NOT)! Vermonters Don’t Want to Pay ANYTHING for Democrats’ Climate Agenda

July 16, 2024December 16, 2023 Rob Roper

Campaign for Vermont finally asked Vermonters directly the question our elected representatives have been avoiding for years in regard to their Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) fantasies: How much are you willing to pay to support the law’s greenhouse gas reduction mandates?

The Ghost of The Son of The Bride of the Wonky Jetstream

December 6, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Between 1931 and 1944, we got Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, the Son of Frankenstein, The Ghost of Frankenstein, Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, and House of Frankenstein. A name pronounced incorrectly for decades until Gene Wilder straightened us out in Mel Brooks, Young Frankenstein.

EPA.GOV – 81% Of Stations Report The Same or Declining Average Temperatures Since 1948

December 6, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a Climate Change Indicators page that we expect will be getting a rehab any day now. When yo select change in hot temperatures it produces a map that contradicts the others on the page.

Volcanos and Earthquakes and Flooding… Oh My!

December 5, 2023December 4, 2023 NITZAKHON

As I see yet another volcano erupting – this time in Indonesia – it suddenly occurred to me: The Globalists want to dim the sunlight hitting the earth to, theoretically, fight climate change. They’ve openly talked about it.

Warmest Autumn on Record? – Nope!

November 25, 2023 Steve MacDonald

If you find yourself confronted with a headline, comment, or climate cultist claiming that the fall of 2023 was the warmest autumn on record, well – we are here to help. Not only was it not, and you knew that was coming, but there were 11 years since 1895 with equal or hotter autumn temperatures.

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.

John Kerry on How Feeding People is Destroying the Planet

October 25, 2023 Steve MacDonald

I can almost see John Kerry, bent in half, whispering into Biden’s ear as he snoozes behind the Resolute Desk. There’s an ice cream stain on the Commander in Chief’s Lapel, he reeks of BenGay, and there’s a bottle of Geritol spilled across his blotter as if he’d tried to overdose.
