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.

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…)

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…)

When this invisible set of (non-existent) clothes were put on, everyone wanted to appear intelligent and so they commented about how grand and beautiful they were. Until one small boy shouted out in the crowd “the emperor is naked. He has no clothes”! And then the truth became obvious to everyone. The climate emergency is like the emperor’s clothes. It doesn’t exist. There is no climate emergency. (more…)
