Whereas Hurricane Ian which devasted large areas of Florida was indisputably a monster storm, a basic review of history reveals that media hype connecting it to evidence of a recent “climate change disaster” is entirely unfounded.
Judith Curry,Ph.D. Geophysical Sciences. President (co-owner) of Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN). Previously, Professor and Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology: We have an opportunity to be proactive in preparing for weather disasters. Rather than focusing on recovery from extreme weather events, we can aim to reduce future vulnerability and increase thrivability by evolving our infrastructures, policies and practices.
John Holdren, Science Advior to President Barack Obama: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a special report in September 2019 warning of the mounting effects of global warming on the seas, increasing temperatures and acidification, and on the world’s melting ice. Holdren said, I don’t think there’s any good news in the report because it’s focused only on the science, and it’s been true for decades now that virtually all of the new news from climate science has been bad news. He has radically changed his position on catastrophic fossil fuel induced climate effects since the 1970s. First he sounded the alarm for catastrophic man-made global cooling, then global warming, then climate change and recently climate disruption. His photo in this article presents an unusual position for his arms. Is this a subtle message?
Leslie Woodcock is a professor emeritus of chemical thermodynamics at the University of Manchester in England, with a Ph.D. from the University of London, and served as a senior research consultant at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Laboratory in Ohio. He has added his voice to those who challenge the “scientific fact” that man-made carbon emissions are causing global warming.
Hal Doiron, Don Bogard, The Right Climate Stuff Team: TRCS is a team of retired Apollo Lunar Program specialists performing their own independent investigation into the man-made and natural global warming issues. This article presents an evaluation of using a photo-voltaic electrical generating systems on his home by Hal Doiron and on overview on man-made and natural global warming, and renewable and nuclear energy by Don Bogard.
The National Academies of Sciences: Continued strong alarm about man-made global warming. What are National Academies of Sciences for?

Hal Lewis - Resignation from American Physical Society over corruption of science regarding the topic of Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming aslo known as Climate Change.
The topic of catastrophic man-made climate change has been around for decades. In the 1970s, John Holdren introduced the idea of a new ice age caused by human activity. Since the 1980s, he has talked about catastrophic man-made global warming caused by CO2 from use of fossil fuels. In 2015, he issued a "Climate Change Compendium" that is posted on this website. Use the SEARCH Box with keyword "HOLDREN." This response to Holdren's 2015 presentation is by Dr. Donald Rapp, a highly educated and experienced scientist. Rapp is open to the possibility of some local and global warming from use of fossil fuels and mankind's activities. He provides detailed comments to Holdren's predictions of catastrophic man-made global warming. Many scientists agree with Dr. Rapp.
Willie Soon, Christopher Monckton, skepitcal of Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warmiing: “Fortunately, contrary to Professor Reif’s claims, the actual current scientific understanding of Earth’s climate dispels the popular delusion that any manmade global warming will be dangerous. That means adhering to the Paris agreement would be ‘a bad deal for America,’ and not only on economic and equity grounds. “In the last 20 years, humans have released over a third of all the CO2 produced since the beginning of the industrial period. Yet global mean surface temperature has remained essentially constant for at least 15 years – a fact that has been acknowledged by the IPCC, whose models failed to predict it.”
Thomas Wysmuller, Meteorologist. Chair, Oceanographic Section, 2016 World Congress on Oceans. Founding member of NASA's TRCS Climate Group in Houston, Texas: This is a clip briefly explaining why sea level rise is not only difficult to measure, but why the answers are inconsistent too!
John Eidson, writer, analyst for energy, climate change, government policies, retired electrical engineer, independent voter: Without presenting an iota of indisputable evidence, the Bloomberg News article ”World War II Skeletons Washed From Graves by Rising Seas” asserts that rising seas caused by global warming are solely responsible for the contents of WWII graves being washed out to sea from the Marshall Islands. Lesson: Be skeptical of dire claims about global warming that are predicated on the hotly disputed climate theories put out by UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Viv Forbes, Executive Director of The Saltbush Club, Australia: If a project can be stopped because it adds to carbon dioxide emissions every development of coal, oil or gas in Australia can be challenged. But the ominous implications go much further. The sports and tourism industries should be fearful. These industries encourage millions of competitors, visitors, tourists, officials and politicians to use cars, trains, buses, planes and ships to burn hydro-carbon fuels purely for entertainment. Car racing is out, as are new cruise terminals, stadiums, resorts, high rise hotels and fireworks. Moreover, any new road, rail or airport development will add emissions and must be stopped. But if they can stop the mining of coking coal this will also stop metal smelting, refining and steel making.
Harrison Schmitt. The scientific rationale behind the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed massive intrusion into American life in the name of fighting climate change has no scientific or constitutional justification. This has no basis in observational science as has been discussed previously relative to climate history, temperature, and carbon dioxide.
In addition, oceans of the Earth play the dominant role in the perpetuation and mediation of naturally induced change of global climate.
How has Vladimir Putin—a man ruling a country with an economy smaller than that of Texas, with an average life expectancy 10 years lower than that of France—managed to launch an unprovoked full-scale assault on Ukraine?
The reason Europe didn’t have a muscular deterrent threat to prevent Russian aggression—and in fact prevented the U.S. from getting allies to do more—is that it needs Putin’s oil and gas.
John Droz is the publisher of "Energy and Environmental Newsletter." Once you’ve grasped the magnitude of the problems with wind, solar, biofuels, etc., you’ll understand why the Russians have put so much effort into promoting US energy policies that are completely nonsensical — to anyone but them. The ONLY solution is to change our energy policies to be Science-based — starting with dumping the absurd “All of the Above” slogan, and replacing it with “All of the Sensible” as a national energy mantra.
Jane Orient, MD, President, Doctors for Disaster Preparedness: After the fifth debate in November 2019 of Democrats contending for the Presidential nomination, physicians should not be venturing to make psychiatric diagnoses. But all Americans should be considering the wisdom of the proposals to “fight climate change.” If a Democrat is elected and manages to implement the proposals, the planet will not die from climate disruption. Then he or she can claim to be the savior. However, the climate will proceed to follow natural laws and keep changing, no matter what humans do, confounding the latest apocalyptic predictions, as has happened over and over again.
Tom Blees, President of Science Council for Global initiatives:Bill Gates’ Terrapower is teamed with GE-Hitachi to build a sodium-cooled fast reactor by the mid-to-late 2020s. Thorcon’s plan has been to launch a four-year project, at the end of which their molten salt modular reactor will have been built and tested and the first power ship will be then expeditiously constructed.
Presently, nuclear power provides about 10% of the world’s electricity, but only about 4% of the world’s total energy demand. We can definitely scale it up, and quickly to produce all the electricity we need
The SCGI website states about man-made climate change: If global temperatures on our planet continue to go up, ferocious super-storms could become more frequent and sea levels could rise several meters over the next century, drowning coastal cities along the way. That’s the ominous warning put forth .. .. .. by former top NASA scientist Dr. James Hansen and 18 co-authors, which was published in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics.
