New US climate report

US Department of Energy logoThe US Department of Energy (DOE) has just published a report by the 2025 Climate Working Group. The report concludes that carbon dioxide (CO2)-induced warming appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation strategies could be more harmful than beneficial. Additionally, the report finds that US policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays. (more…)


Climate and the church

The World Council of Churches now offers training on climate litigationThe Climate Realism podcast begins with some crazy climate news items.

On 7 February 2025 the third news item was “Going to climate church”.

Dr Jennifer MarohasyThis blogpost comes from an interview of the Australian biologist Dr Jennifer Marohasy by Hannes Sarv of Freedom Research.

According to Marohasy, climate change is a natural phenomenon and CO2 has nothing to do with it. In 2017, Marohasy and John Abbot published an article on temperature variations over the last 2,000 years, showing that climate change is not the result of an increase in anthropogenic carbon dioxide over the last century, but a natural process in nature. They used proxy data from tree rings, corals or lake sediments, which express earth’s warming and cooling cycles, with a variation of about 2ºC. Of course, alarmists didn’t agree. (more…)

Can we change the climate?

Cyclone Jasper approaching Queensland from the Coral Sea Recent floods in far north Queensland took everyone by surprise. It was quite scary, because it happened very quickly. Water started rapidly rising — seemingly out of nowhere. Most people thought that there may be a lot of rain when cyclone Jasper passed but there was no warning that there was going to be millions of litres of water tumbling down the Tableland hill, pushing houses and land to the side. Cars were floating past the house. It was mayhem. (more…)
