Despite Al Gore’s claim that the earth has a fever, which must be remedied with legislation and carbon taxes, global climate change is normal! “Denier” Patrick Michaels, Senior Fellow in Environmental Studies at the CATO Institute, offers insight on the other side of the debate: climate change has existed throughout the history of the earth, man made global warming does not have a significant impact on the environment, and the economic calamity proposed by proponents of a carbon tax will be far more disastrous. Tune in to Independent Thinking when Patrick Michaels goes one-on-one with host Jon Caldara.

This 10-week course for non-science majors focuses on a single problem: assessing the risk of human-caused climate change. The story ranges from physics to chemistry, biology, geology, fluid mechanics, and quantum mechanics, to economics and social sciences. The class will consider evidence from the distant past and projections into the distant future, keeping the human time scale of the next several centuries as the bottom line. The lectures follow a textbook, “Global Warming, Understanding the Forecast,” written for the course. For information about the textbook, interactive models, and more, visit: forecast.uchicago.edu

Global warming alarmists like to claim that there is a scientific consensus that recognizes anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Well lets see if this claim stands up to scrutiny! mirror of climatesightful video “It’s not just Al Gore” tigger.uic.edu nationalacademies.org www.aaas.org www.sciencemag.org Mirror of ClimateSightful video “It’s Not Just Al Gore: Scientific Agreement on Climate Change “

This week marks the beginning of the hurricane season in the United States and scientists will be watching closely in the wake of the extreme weather patterns that have devastated the Midwest. One of the questions they’re trying to answer focuses on the impact of climate change and global warming. Deadly tornadoes and record-high rainfall have cut a path of death and destruction throughout the US midwest in recent weeks. The region is known for such weather, but this year has been extreme. According to Scientists, one of the reasons may lie far away near the equator in the Pacific Ocean. It’s known as La Nina, a condition where ocean surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific are cooler than normal. When La Nina is in affect, it can shift weather patterns all over the planet and, according to Professor Brian Soden at the University of Miami, create perfect conditions for extreme weather. He said, “In a La Nina event, it actually makes the atmosphere over the Atlantic more unstable which is more conducive to the development of tropical storms and hurricanes.” Soden and his colleague, Professor Ben Kirtman, are keeping a close watch over the current La Nina. They say if equatorial Pacific Ocean temperatures do not rise, it could mean a more intense Atlantic hurricane season. Over the long-term, they say global warming and climate change might also come into play with global weather patterns. He said, “You can expect things as the climate warms to see more frequent extreme …
