“In honor of Earth Day, Glenn Beck on Wednesday ruthlessly mocked a sling of climate change predictions that ended up not coming true…. Beck first reminded his audience that experts were warning of an impending ice age before they were warning about global warming, and Harvard biologist George Wald even warned in 1970 that civilization would end within 15 to 30 years unless immediate action was taken….”

“… We’re told over and over how 97 percent of climate scientists believe that humans are causing global warming, so therefore we should, too. Comedian-pundit John Oliver has said (only semi-jokingly) that it’s misleading for climate change advocates to debate skeptics one-on-one, as it implies there is a 50-50 split on the issue. (Instead, Oliver says it should be 97 advocates against three skeptics.) But this misses the point. In sports – drawn-out playoff schedules aside – the championship isn’t determined by who has the greatest percentage of fans rooting for it; it’s determined by which team has the highest percentage of wins. Likewise, in science, what counts isn’t the percentage of scientists who are supporting a theory, it’s the theory’s batting average when it comes to making true predictions….”

“Boston’s miserable winter is now also its snowiest season going back to 1872…. The final 2.9 inches came in a snowstorm that was relatively tame after a record-setting monthly snowfall of 64.9 inches in February…. Forecasters note snow can still mount up this year. March 1993 had 38.9 inches, and March 1916 had 33.”

“Donning the robes of High Priest of Science, Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a rousing sermon … that presumed to speak for both Science and Religion on the supposed existential threat of anthropogenic (manmade) global warming, AGW…. The radical Heinz Family Foundation, largely controlled by John Kerry’s wife Teresa Heinz Kerry, is one of the major funders of the AGW alarmist movement…. It is the continued, obstinate use of the phony consensus meme by you and your AGW allies, Secretary Kerry, to intimidate and vilify all opposition, along with your attempts to use the fear generated by AGW alarmism to establish a tyrannical global climate regime that is truly immoral.”

“It’s a familiar refrain used by those who want to control what you think – The science is settled…. The science is settled!! The globe is warming because of humans. Even though the temperature has not increased in 16 years, global warming is supposedly the most dangerous issue humans are facing…. When proponents declare that the science is settled, scientific discovery is exterminated. Science proves theories by actually trying to disprove them. Examples are actively searched for that negate a concept. Using the Scientific Method, experiments are conducted with the specific purpose to refute an hypothesis. Data is collected and examined. If these experiments fail, then the theory has actually been validated. Pseudoscience does just the opposite by looking only for confirmations of a theory and avoiding challenges. Welcome to the world of global warming…. Contrary evidence and data is considered criminal. Activists undermine anyone who exposes proof and facts debunking these theories, claiming they are deniers who hate science. Yet it is they who are shutting out true analysis and rejecting scientific discovery….”

“The historic winter of 2015 has left giant chunks of ice on the Cape Cod National Seashore…. WBZ-TV Chief Meteorologist Eric Fisher says this could be a ‘once-in-a-generation’ event due to the extraordinary amount of ice on the Massachusetts Bay….There have been several remarkable images left from the record-setting winter, including the nearly frozen waves captured off the coast of Nantucket last month.”

Edward Markey (D-MA), other senators and Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) recently sent letters to institutions that employ or support climate change researchers whose work questions claims that Earth and humanity face unprecedented manmade climate change catastrophes. The letters allege that the targeted researchers may have ‘conflicts of interest’ or may not have fully disclosed corporate funding sources… Conflicts of interest can indeed pose problems. However, it is clearly not only fossil fuel companies that have major financial or other interests in climate and air quality standards – nor only manmade climate change skeptics who can have conflicts and personal, financial or institutional interests in these issues. Renewable energy companies want to perpetuate the mandates, subsidies and climate disruption claims that keep them solvent. Insurance companies want to justify higher rates, to cover costs from allegedly rising seas and more frequent or intense storms. Government agencies seek bigger budgets, more personnel, more power and control, more money for grants to researchers and activist groups that promote their agendas and regulations, and limited oversight, transparency and accountability for their actions. Researchers and organizations funded by these entities naturally want the financing to continue. You would therefore expect that these members of Congress would send similar letters to researchers and institutions on the other side of this contentious climate controversy. But they did not, even though climate alarmism is embroiled in serious financial, scientific, ethical and conflict of interest disputes….”

“Research in recent years has encouraged those of us who question the popular alarm over allegedly man-made global warming. Actually, the move from ‘global warming’ to ‘climate change’ indicated the silliness of this issue. The climate has been changing since the Earth was formed. This normal course is now taken to be evidence of doom. Individuals and organizations highly vested in disaster scenarios have relentlessly attacked scientists and others who do not share their beliefs. The attacks have taken a threatening turn. As to the science itself, it’s worth noting that all predictions of warming since the onset of the last warming episode of 1978-98
which is the only period that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) attempts to attribute to carbon-dioxide emissions
have greatly exceeded what has been observed. These observations support a much reduced and essentially harmless climate response to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide….”
