The scientific community and the media are focused almost exclusively by how greenhouse gas emissions affect the climate — from power plants to automobiles to your fireplace to your gas stove, and even cow farts. But what about that big ball of gas in the sky? Why does it get short shrift when it comes to the causes of climate change?

A recent article in The Conversation, written by Joshua M. Pearce and titled, “Email signatures are harming the planet and could cost people their lives — it’s time to stop using them,” makes a bold claim; email signatures are supposedly harming the environment and even “costing lives” due to their energy consumption. [emphasis, links added]The claim is not just false and exaggerated—it’s outright ridiculous.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (March 18, 2025) – In a post on Truth Social Monday evening, President Trump said he is authorizing his administration to “immediately begin producing energy with beautiful, clean coal.” This would be a reversal of Biden administration policies, which instituted new rules and regulations with the goal of phasing out coal power entirely in the United States.

A recent article from Smithsonian Magazine (SM) titled “Climate Change Might Increase Satellite Collisions, Limiting How Many Can Safely Orbit Earth, Study Finds” claims that human-induced climate change is causing the upper atmosphere to contract, reducing drag on satellites and space debris, which could lead to more collisions. [emphasis, links added]This is misleading if not outright false.

For decades, mainstream media outlets have asserted that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is on the verge of collapse, bringing catastrophic consequences to the planet. This is false.

The historic and devastating fires in Los Angeles exposed the incompetence of leaders such as Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass. So how do state legislators want to address that? By allowing victims who had their lives destroyed sue Big Oil. Of course. The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts and Jim Lakely blow holes in that absurd political stunt and also discuss other recent to abuse the courts to push climate alarmism.

It is ironic that the day after President Trump essentially moved to nullify U.S. Climate Policy, the coldest and deepest winter storm in over 40 years descends on the country. When normally hot-headed for “weather is climate change” CNN calls it, you know it’s gonna be big. Winter Storm Warnings have been posted and stretch from the U.S.-Mexico border all the way to Duval County, Florida.

A number of mainstream media outlets have uncritically echoed the proclamation of 2024 being the “hottest year on record,” such as, CNN with a story titled, “2024 Confirmed as World’s Hottest Year on Record”, and the BBC with a headline that declared, “2024 Confirmed as Hottest Year Ever Recorded.” When these media reports are examined in long-term historical context of the available global temperature data, it becomes clear that the claims lack the certainty their headlines proclaim and are...

Los Angeles is once again ablaze, and like clockwork, the media is eager to pin the blame on climate change. Coverage from outlets like Newsweek, Axios, and Sky News frame the fires as harbingers of a “climate apocalypse.” But before jumping on this well-worn bandwagon, let’s examine the facts. Wildfires are not a new phenomenon in California. They’re part of the state’s ecology, fueled by unique weather patterns, poor land management, and urban encroachment into fire-prone areas.
