Although the liberal media are ignoring that inconvenient truth, they love to quote actors on climate change. At the Academy Awards, millionaire Leonardo DiCaprio, who owns four homes and a yacht, lectured that climate change is “the most urgent threat facing our entire species” and we need to oppose the “big polluters” and “politics of greed.” His speech was praised by the liberal media. ABC Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts gushed about DiCaprio’s “passion” and said his remarks “were just outstanding.” The Guardian crowned DiCaprio the “champion” of climate change.

    The Week That Was: 2020-04-11 (April 11, 2020) Brought to You by SEPP (www.SEPP.org) The Science and Environmental Policy Project Quote of the Week: “In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.” – Galileo [International Space Hall of Fame] In Memory S. Fred Singer (Sept. 27, 1924 – April 6, 2020) A Quest for Knowledge: Show me your best data. (physical evidence) Fred Singer’s journey through physical science was marked by endless curiosity and the belief that physical evidence (data), not theory, were needed to resolve controversies in science. At the age of 16 he tackled the difficult Maxwell Equations that are the foundation of electromagnetism, of which visible light is a part. Singer’s Ph.D. thesis at Princeton was on then- poorly understood cosmic rays. His advisor was John Wheeler, who had worked with Niels Bohr in explaining nuclear fission with quantum physics. (All Wheeler’s students were a very exceptional cadre, including the Nobel laureate Richard Feynman.) Earlier, Bohr had a noted public dispute with Albert Einstein on quantum physics, after Einstein objected to the probabilistic view used, making precise prediction impossible. Bohr’s views are generally accepted and the great admiration he and Einstein had for each other remained. This is an outstanding example of scientists disagreeing publicly, without personal accusations, which are too common today. Singer was a pioneer in exploration of space, particularly the upper reaches of the atmosphere. He measured characteristics of cosmic radiation in the upper atmosphere, and discovered, or co- discovered, upper-atmospheric ozone, and the equatorial ‘electrojet current’ which intensifies the geomagnetic field.

  • The Film That Changes the Climate of Debate on Global
    Climate Hustle: The film that changes the climate of debate on global warming Concerns about man-made global warming have consumed nearly all other environmental issues as proponents claim increasing carbon dioxide will result in a global catastrophe unless nations drastically reduces emissions. Global warming has evolved to be blamed for a range of issues beyond just rising temperatures or sea levels. Now rising CO2 emission are said to cause floods, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes and even maladies like prostitution, bar room brawls, airline turbulence and less snow or more snow, depending on the season. More than a year in the making, Climate Hustle is now smashing onto the scene to rock the climate debate and set the record straight. Produced by “CFACT Presents” and hosted by Climate Depot publisher Marc Morano, the film features prominent scientists from around the world who used to warn about the dangers of man-made global warming but have reexam- ined the evidence and have now grown more skeptical or become outright skeptics of man-made climate change fears. The film is not a one-sided documentary with only one narrative presented. Instead, Climate Hustle comes alive to the viewer with archival video clips and news footage spanning over 40 years. The film presents both sides of the climate debate in an engaging and pop culture-friendly way that walks viewers through the dire climate claims being made and exam- ines them one by one. Viewers of Climate Hustle will get an informative, humorous and entertaining journey through seven key sections that lay waste to the media-promoted climate claims.

Oct. 2021 ‘The Climate Has Always Been Changing’: Sarah Palin, Climate Change Denialism, and American Conservatism Abstract Celebrity politician Sarah Palin diffused climate denialism, while advocating a version of social and political conservatism. This article scrutinises her rhetoric and argues that she crafted and performed a brand or ethos that resonated with common-sense conservatism, while at the same time reinforcing and popularising this doctrine. The article discerns the epistemological and ontological premises of Palin’s ideological position and probes how she used her image as an anti-intellectual, frontier individual to speak common sense and to advocate free-market ideology and climate denialism.
