By Anthony Watts | Dec. 9, 2021 Facebook has admitted in a court of law that such fact checks are not factual at all, but merely opinions. People send me stuff. As we have previously reported, journalist John Stossel is suing Facebook after Facebook’s ‘fact checkers’ labeled climate change information that Stossel posted as “false and misleading”. In the middle of all this is the nefarious website “Climate Feedback” which has a bunch of climate zealots that write up what they claim are “fact checks” for articles, videos, and news stories they disagree with. Facebook just blew the “fact check” …

Climate Realism By James Taylor – December 6, 2021 The New York Times published an article Friday titled, “A Slow-Motion Climate Disaster: The Spread of Barren Land.” The article claims global warming is causing drought in northeastern Brazil, turning the region into a desert. Objective satellite measurements of vegetation, however, show increasing vegetation in northeast Brazil and throughout Brazil as a whole, not the other way around. The Times article is merely another example of agenda-driven fake climate news. In its subtitle, the article claims, “Brazil’s northeast, long a victim of droughts, is now effectively turning into desert. The cause? …

No Tricks Zone By P Gosselin on 27. November 2021 The energy source that Germany moves to shut down, rescued the country from widespread blackouts in 2021.

Compared to 2020, the first nine months of 2021 saw a …

Not a lot of people know that By Paul Homewood | Nov. 23, 2021 Get the popcorn out! A rare clash has emerged between the two ‘big boys’ of UK weather forecasting after they made hugely different long-term predictions for the winter ahead. Britain’s two biggest forecasters have predicted polar opposites for this winter. The Government-run Met Office has forecast a mild few months ahead but the BBC, which gets its information from DTN, warned of a deep freeze. Experts say energy and road transport firms, airlines and supermarkets will all be hit by the uncertainty. John Hammond, a former …

By Eric Worrall | Nov. 23, 2021 Biden does not understand why people are finding rising gasoline prices such a struggle, when the obvious solution is to buy a $112,595 electric Hummer pickup. Joe Biden Addresses High Gas Prices: Americans Can Save Money if They Buy Electric Cars CHARLIE SPIERING 23 Nov 2021 President Joe Biden promoted his efforts to lower gas prices on Tuesday, but he reminded Americans they would save more money on gas if they owned electric cars. “For the hundreds of thousands of folks who bought one of those electric cars, they’re going to save $800 …

By Eric Worrall | Nov. 18, 2021 Has the European Union finally crossed a line? Coffee importers who cannot pinpoint the exact geographical source of their product, and prove their product is “deforestation free”, are set to be locked out of the common market, potentially starving European coffee lovers of their morning fix.

Junk Science by Steve Milloy | Oct. 7, 2021 Young v. EPA is a hugely important lawsuit. The law requires that EPA seek scientific advice from an independent and balanced panel of qualified scientists as part of its policy-making process. The Biden EPA has turned the law on its head by first deciding what its policy is and then stacking the panel with its cronies. These EPA cronies are academic researchers who have been awarded tens of millions of dollars’ worth of EPA grants. This will not be independent and balanced scientific review; rather it will be the rubberstamping of …
