In this Climate Science for Everyone article I describe correlation, causation, and two important relationships between them: correlation does not prove causation, but a lack of correlation doesn't disprove causation either. Continue reading →…
Scientists measure the Earth's temperature three ways - stationary surface thermometers, satellite-based microwave detectors, and balloon-carried thermometers. Continue reading →…
Donald wants to dramatically cut government funded research and satellite operations performed by NOAA without affecting the military. It won't work. Continue reading →…
The fact that Steve Milloy was part of Donald's EPA transition team is one of the most disturbing things I've yet heard about out of the Administration. Continue reading →…
There’s an old phrase that comes from the 1800s – “keep your powder dry.” It harks back to a time when firearms were fired with black gunpowder, and wet gunpowder wouldn’t fire. The idea was that you wouldn’t be able…
A shared, common understanding of the facts is a prerequisite for any attempts at understanding the perspectives of my fellow Americans. Continue reading →…

The Independent Journal Review, The Blaze, the Wall Street Journal, Breitbart.com, and the New York Post have collectively misrepresented the Global Warming Petition Project eight times since 2008. Continue reading →…
S&R investigated the top 15 conservative and/or libertarian media sites for mentions of the Global Warming Petition Project. We found over 80 since May 2008, but only five were on Fox News. Continue reading →…
Senators Michael Crapo and Orrin Hatch have implied that they agree with the Global Warming Petition Project's false, anti-consensus narrative while climate "experts" J. Scott Amstrong, Kesten C. Green, and Patrick Moore gave wrong and misleading testimony on the subject.…
Representatives Conaway, Luetkemeyer, McKinley, Pearce, and Poe and Senator Inhofe have all made serious factual errors and repeated the false narrative that the Global Warming Petition Project represents an anti-climate change counter-consensus. Continue reading →…
Combined, Robert Aderholt and Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Dana Rohrbacher of California, Steve King of Iowa, and Roger Wicker of Mississippi have made ten false or misleading statements about the OISM's Global Warming Petition Project. Continue reading →…
While Representatives John Linder of Georgia and Ron Paul of Texas are no longer representing their states, while they were in the House, they both made misleading and incorrect statements regarding the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine's Global Warming…
No matter how you look at it – degrees awarded, employees working, or membership in professional organizations – the 31,487 names collected by the Global Warming Petition Project don't disprove the evidence-based scientific consensus that climate change is real. Continue…
Mark Carney, the former Goldman Sachs banker and head of the Bank of Canada who now heads up the Bank of England, threw the City of London financial community into a bit of a tizzy recently. Carney picked up on…
Not only do the 31,487 names collected by the Global Warming Petition Project represent a tiny minority of degrees issued, they also represent less than one half of one percent (0.44%) of people employed in their selected science and engineering…
Far from being an alleged “counter-consensus,” the 31,487 names collected by the Global Warming Petition Project represent only 0.25% of science and engineering degrees awarded since 1970. Continue reading →…
My wife’s engagement ring contains a marquis cut diamond appraised at $2000. I bought it at a pawn shop for $600. The pawn broker was ready to shoot me dead if I tried to steal it. When I paid him…

Four errors of fact, two innuendos, one serious distortion, and one uncredited image, any one of which should render an editorial unpublishable. Yet the Gazette's editorial contained all of them. Continue reading →…
Leasing solar panels and acquiring an electric vehicle helped clear a mental block that had kept me from writing much about industrial climate disruption for about two years. Continue reading →…
Scientists are as sure of industrial climate disruption as they are that smoking causes lung cancer. So why hasn't the international community made progress toward addressing climate disruption? There are at least four reasons. Continue reading →…
Harris' stated goals in his commentaries are diametrically opposed to the language and arguments he uses in support of those goals. Either he's incompetent at public relations, or he's not actually interested in moving forward the public debate on industrial…
Tom Harris' recent commentaries distort the maturity of the science underlying industrial climate disruption and conflate the real expertise of climate scientists with the imagined expertise of most "opinion leaders," engineers, and economists. Part Four of Six. Continue reading →…
Recent commentaries by Tom Harris of the International Climate Science Coalition invoke a bizarro world where ignorance equals knowledge, where climate science can't be true unless it's transcendently True, and where there can be no unequivocal conclusions. Part Three of…
Tom Harris of the International Climate Science Coalition is calling for the end of illogical arguments in the public discussion about climate disruption. But it's hard to take his calls serious given all the illogical arguments and errors he makes…
S&R reviewed eight related commentaries written by Tom Harris of the International Climate Science Coalition since mid-December. We found that the commentaries represent tone trolling and are packed them with distortions, errors, hypocrisy, and more. Part One of Six. Continue…
While Bastach quoted extensively from the CNN story about the new poll, his story shows no indication that he dove any deeper than copying and pasting from CNN. When S&R dug into the poll itself, we found that those details…
