Action item: Demand natural variability included in next round of fed climate research
Now is the time to demand that natural variability be the focus of the U.S. Government’s climate change research program. Continue reading Action item: Demand natural variability included in next round of fed climate research
Rethinking climate change as a security threat
“Once upon a time climate change was a strictly environment and development issue. Today it has become a matter of national and international security. Efforts to link climate change with violent conflict may not be based on solid evidence, but they have certainly captured the attention of governments,” says the International Institute for Environment and Development.

If serious scientists can question Einstein’s theory of relativity, then there must be room for debate about the workings and complexities of the Earth’s atmosphere,” writes the Manhattan Institute’s Robert Bryce in today’s Wall Street Journal.
