These cumulonimbus masses are a reminder of the destructive floods that are occurring around the globe, which, taken together, are potent signals of one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time:…

GETTY A geogologist has made claims that goes against the typical global warming thinking James Kamis suggests conflicting temperature trends between oceans and the Earth s atmosphere could dispel the myth of man-made global warming. Put simply, he says our atmospheric temperature has remained static…

| I just want to highlight this illuminating infographic by James Powell in which, based on more than 2 peer-reviewed publications, he counts the number of authors from November, 2012 to December, 2013 who explicitly deny global warming (that is, who propose a fundamentally different reason for temperature…

We control our body temperature by dressing heavily when it is cold and dressing lightly when it is hot. Throwing a coat over your shoulders on a warm spring day would make anyone feel hot.
