By E. Calvin Beisner The fundamental premise of taxing CO 2 emissions is that they cause more harm than good (and thus are what economists call a “negative externality” — a cost of doing business not borne by a firm but foisted off onto others — the typical case with pollution). Economists are right to say that taxing negative externalities is a good way to reduce them, but their expertise in economics doesn’t equate with the expertise necessary to determine th...

Every now and then I come across someone elses work that is so good I want everyone to read it. This essay, by Richard Lindzen and William Happer, is one such. They are supremely eminent scientists, and their current status is given at the end. Yes, they dont give references, but then neither do most alarmist speakers, like Steffen, Karoly, Mann and so on. They are speaking from a position of intellectual eminence. Like a few others who are outspoken in their sceptical cause, they are retired. ...

ANALYSIS/OPINION: Earth Day arrives annually on April 22, the height of the Northern Hemisphere’s spring season when nature rejuvenates and the environment looks its best. The occasion is no celebration of life, though. Rather, it comes with an alarming screech that the planet is doomed without extraordinary government rescue. Fortunately, it is not, since officialdom is more adept at spending than saving. Earth Day 2021 carries a rather innocuous theme of “Restore Our Earth,” but it also...

Font Size Time magazine continued its sad history of pushing the inconsistent climate nuttiness it’s been peddling for decades. The magazine released a new cover story with a headline that once again reeked of climate Armageddon agitprop: “Climate Is Everything: How the pandemic can lead us to a better, greener world.” Climate doom-monger and Time senior correspondent Justin Worland laced the story with absurd propaganda: “[S]purred by alarming science, growing public fur...

A Mom’s Research (Part 2): Texas Freezing and Global Warming Commentary A few days ago, my husband and I were chatting about the freezing weather in Texas and the resulting blackouts. My daughter got grumpy when she heard us and said, “So you don’t believe in global warming?” “Not necessarily. If you want to convince me, answer my questions,” my husband said. “First, is it true that we have global warming? See how cold Texas gets and how much snow we are getting.” “Scientists ...
