A report from a group of international researchers shows that temperatures in Greenland aren’t cooperating with the alarmists’ doomsday predictions. In fact, “most areas are cooling.” This is inconvenient for the climate harpies who have designated Greenland as an indicator of what man-made carbon dioxide emissions are doing to the planet. Not three months ago, the World Economic Forum eagerly mentioned a study that predicted that a “total collapse” of Greenland’s ice sheet “could happen by 2025.” Last year, a Washington Post scare-’em-all headline declared “Greenland glacier’s

Here is a giant clue for the climate cult idiots...note that it's called GREENland. It was named that because it was very green a long, long, long time ago, which meant it was much, much, much warmer then.

The Global Warming Religion will not accept any heretical data. Contrary evidence must be propaganda from Big Oil. Only edicts from Big Green are acceptable. Thus says the Holy Hive.

Well, it's not Global Warming anymore, it's Climate Change. Which means, in their weird little minds that they can switch to ''We're all going to freeze to death within 5 years if we don't end fossil fuels NOW!'' And the stupid media will cheer them on. It's easy to predict these idiots.

The climate alarmists don't have a very good track record of their predictions coming true. If one checks the predictions of these people going back fifty plus years, none of those predictions has come true, but government money from many countries keeps these studies going. It's why every month or so, a new prediction comes out. The new prediction won't be any closer to the truth, but it did keep some academic and their grad students the ability to get something published and to get that advanced degree.

I've flown over Greenland a number of times on clear days in commercial airliners. The idea that the Greenland ice sheet is about to reach "total collapse" and and it "could happen by 2025" is hilariously stupid and ignorant. As you cruise along at 35,000 ft and 500 mph, you view giant rivers of ice snaking down uncounted valleys and huge areas are seen where the ice sheet overtops even the tallest mountains. Yep, that looks like it's about to reach "total collapse"---NOT! Such ridiculous, fraudulent nonsense written by obvious liars. Go and LOOK AT IT. It is an immense, frozen island. Not going to suddenly unfreeze any time soon.

The thing that needs to happen is opening up research to ideas that explain climate better than the Warming Orthodoxy and is actually provable with data. Guess what? It's NOT manmade. It's clouds reflecting sunlight which is controlled by comic rays reaching the earth. That in turn is controlled by the magnetic field of the sun which varies in cycles AND by the travel of our planet through the galaxy. THAT is worth the research! The reality is that more CO2 has significantly lowered impact compared to what it has had in the past. That is, CO2 going to 400 PPM had xxx amount of warming effect but going to 800 ppm will have significantly LESS warming effect. Probably about ONE DEGREE. That is not something to panic and dismantle society over. Just like there is Fake News, there is Fake Science and it needs to be called out and stopped with valid research and real proof.

We are not in the habit of reading Jonathan Chait’s bloated regurgitations, but the headline on his latest column in The Atlantic — “The Bizarre Normalcy of Trump 2.0” — intrigued us because only a leftist could describe the orderly and upbeat transition that is happening right now as “bizarre.” [snip] A prime example, Chait says, is Trump’s appointment of Michael Anton as director of policy planning at the State Department, which, he says, highlights “the banal ubiquity of authoritarian thinking in the Trumpified Republican Party.” What he says next is one of the purest, most unadulterated forms of projection we’ve ever come across.

Wow. A government commission/initiative will cut waste. Reduce headcount. Chop a quarter of federal spending, including entire agencies. Eliminate counterproductive regulations. And increase efficiency to boot. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Hmm. Would that be President Taft’s Commission on Economy and Efficiency? Most recommendations were ignored, except the 1921 introduction of the federal budget process putting the executive in charge of driving budgets. That worked great a decade or so later when FDR generated a more-than-doubling of federal spending by 1940. Oh, wait. You mean the (Herbert) Hoover Commission? Two of them, really,

Under normal circumstances, it takes a year or two before a president can have an impact on the economy or world affairs. But Donald Trump won’t be president for almost two months, and already we are feeling the effects of his election. Consumers are more confident, manufacturers more optimistic, investors more bullish. Canada is promising to toughen up its border controls. Ukraine is talking about how to end its nearly three-year-long war. There’s a ceasefire in the Middle East. Heck, even Trump’s favorability rating broke through 50%, a rarity since he first announced his candidacy in 2015. Let’s look at the evidence:

If you’ve never heard the word “impoundment” before, you will – often – next year. And for good reason. Because this battle will determine whether government spending can ever be brought under control. Last year, President-elect Donald Trump said that “For 200 years under our system of government, it was undisputed that the president had the constitutional power to stop unnecessary spending through what is known as impoundment.” Since he’s been elected, he’s given every indication that he intends to reclaim this power. Indeed, the success of his “Department of Government Efficiency” run by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy depends heavily

Donald Trump has said that on the first day of his second term, he wants to “frack, frack, frack, and drill, drill, drill.” He needs to keep that promise – as well as reopen construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, which the Biden administration blocked, just as the Obama White House did before Trump reversed the policy in 2017. “Put us to work right now,” a laid-off worker who had been building the pipeline when it was shut down said earlier this year. “And you will see not only the fuel prices go down, but you will see the price of

A mentally challenged President Joe Biden turned 82 years old this week, a much-diminished man from his heyday as a Democratic Party Senate stalwart in the last century. But one part of his character is undimmed by the passage of the years: His legendary spite and gleeful willingness to betray his political foes. Knowing this, is he now about to set off a third world war to settle an election score with newly re-elected President Donald Trump, who Biden still calls an “existential threat” to America? We’re talking of course of Biden’s inexplicably dangerous decision to encourage Ukraine to use long-range U.S. missiles against Russian

It’s that he’s off to an outstanding start and has the wind as his back to succeed. [snip] Think about what Trump was up against and what he accomplished in his first term.

As you’ve probably figured out, the headline above is a trick, a rhetorical question. Because we know going in that our government has spent so much since the COVID-era began that there’s no question it can be cut sharply. And, in answer to the question above, $2 trillion is just a start. But that’s just a base number set by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, tagged by President-elect Donald Trump to head the new Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE” for short. “As President Trump said, what we need is common sense,” Musk said. “This won’t be business as usual.

Two days after Donald Trump won the election, Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a special legislative session to “safeguard California values and fundamental rights in the face of an incoming Trump administration.” But Newsom could have a fight on his hands with Californians who are clearly tired of Newsom’s and his fellow leftists’ “values.” Almost across the board, California voters rejected leftist ballot initiatives, often by wide margins. “State voters took a hammer to the most progressive propositions,” noted I&I contributor Thomas Buckley.

In his announcement, Trump said that he’s assigned the two to “dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies.” It will, he said, “become, potentially, ‘The Manhattan Project’ of our time.” At Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally in late October, Musk, when asked how much he

Climate ‘scientists’ discover they’ve

Climate scientists recently discovered that they’ve been underestimating the impact of a particular organic compound in the atmosphere, and the oversight’s significance is so profound that it’s left existing climate models completely obsolete. As Jo Nova writes, “This is so big, it may change the sacred ‘climate sensitivity’ of the whole Earth”. Isoprene is what’s known as a volatile organic compound, or a VOC, and “has a recognized role in protecting plants against many abiotic stresses” like “heat stress…drought…[and] oxidative stress” with trees being the greatest emitters. (When the chemical isoprene interacts with other compounds in the atmosphere, the products are a number of secondary organic aerosols.)

This is my final column for The New York Times, where I began publishing my opinions in January 2000. I’m retiring from The Times, not the world, so I’ll still be expressing my views in other places. But this does seem like a good occasion to reflect on what has changed over these past 25 years. What strikes me, looking back, is how optimistic many people, both here and in much of the Western world, were back then and the extent to which that optimism has been replaced by anger and resentment. And I’m not just talking about members of the working class who feel betrayed by elites;

However, it seems the pair have put their differences aside as the Meta CEO has promised a large paycheck, according to the Wall Street Journal. t's also claimed Zuckerberg gave a demonstration on the company's latest invention, Ray Ban Smart Glasses, then gave them as a gift to Trump.

Kentanji Brown Jackson may not know what a woman is, but she knows what it is to go to bed one night as just an ordinary Supreme Court justice and to wake up the next day as a Broadway star. Yup, she’s hitting the Great White Way (or, maybe, in her case, the Great Black Way) to fulfill a childhood dream: taking a turn in a Broadway musical. Interestingly, the particular musical she’s chosen, “& Juliet,” is a tawdry pro-transgender show. I think we can now guess how Jackson will vote on Tennessee’s “no ‘gender-affirming’ care on minors” law.
