- Climate Critics Rip Tom Friedman for Imbecilic Attack on U.S. ‘Oil Addiction’
Climate Depot founder Marc Morano sounded off to the MRC about Friedman’s nonsense. Morano said Friedman’s article should be headlined, “‘How to Defeat U.S. Energy and Do Nothing to Save the Planet.'” ... Morano tore into Friedman’s “national security” argument and said he “misses the entire point.”
“[T]he U.S. is perfectly capable of plentiful domestic energy production if our industries are not hamstrung over 'climate change' concerns,” Morano said in a Twitter message. “The greatest national security threat we face is the energy policies advocated by Friedman.” Milloy said the “solar and wind” tools are exactly “the same failed technologies that caused the Green New Deal War [in Ukraine] in the first place. No thanks, Tom.”
- Media hypes Antarctic ice shelf collapsing & alleged record warm temps – Reality Check: ‘Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses’
Tony Heller: "Climate experts say glacial ice in East Antarctica has been stable throughout human history until a heatwave last week." ... "This occurs all the time...Eight years ago (2014), climate experts got trapped by icebergs calving off of ice shelves in East Antarctica." ... "So according to climate experts, history began after the year 2014 and the melting point of ice is now -12C. Icebergs break off East Antarctica regularly."

“The calving will not directly affect sea level, because the ice shelf was already floating, much like an ice cube in a glass of water,” Dr. Galton-Fenzi said.
Scientists Find Antarctica Is Rapidly Cooling And Any Ice Sheet Melt Is Not Due To CO2, But Natural - In a review of the scientific literature, Lüning et al. 2019 report Antarctica as a whole has undergone a cooling trend in recent decades.
Evidence That Antarctica Is Cooling, Not Warming
- Meteorologist Watts: Claims of ‘unprecedented’ high temps in Arctic & Antarctic are NOT based on actual temperature reading but ‘a model simulation’ from ‘a single day weather event’
Meteorologist Anthony Watts: Claims the "Arctic and Antarctic, had experienced 'unprecedented' high temperatures...can’t be verified since they were the results from a set of weather model simulations, indicating variations of above-normal temperatures for the regions, not actual surface temperatures measured by ground-based weather stations."
The claims of record hight temps include this disclaimer: "Simulation of temperature differences from normal centered over Antarctica from the American (GFS) model."
Watts: "That’s right, it isn’t temperature that actually measured at the surface of that forlorn icecap, it’s a model simulation of temperature from a single climate model, the GFS model...We don’t have actual weather data in many places at the North and South poles...The weather data we do have may be compromised or intermittent due to harsh weather conditions affecting ground-based weather stations."
"Compared to larger 100+ years of climate data for the globe, we have maybe 40 years of data for the poles at best...Yet, somehow, climate scientists are “alarmed” and “flabbergasted” at a single day weather event simulated from a computer model." ... "Model simulations simply aren’t evidence."
- 2021 State Of The Climate Report: It was not a good year for the climate narrative
Heller: "This past year was a disaster for them scientifically – but based on polling they were highly successful with their propaganda."
2021 climate facts: According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, Arctic sea ice extent finished the year at the highest level since 2003.
Arctic sea ice extent is about the same as it was in 1991. ... There has been no trend in Arctic sea ice extent for the past fifteen years.
Antarctica’s coldest six months on record and second coldest winter
US forest fire burn acreage was well below average and down 80% since the 1930s.
The US is getting wetter and droughts have become less severe and frequent.
Island nations have been getting larger, not disappearing as predicted.

Politico: UN ‘Shitshow’: ‘Scientists & green campaigners…upset’ that IPCC climate ‘science’ report delayed – ‘Missed the opportunity to add impetus’ to Nov 2022 Egypt summit
Politico: The final installment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) sixth major assessment of the state of the climate — due to be released Monday — was originally scheduled to land in October 2022. But the report's publication was delayed, a move the IPCC at the time blamed on "operational reasons." The delay upset countries, scientists and green campaigners who had counted on having the report in hand going into global U.N. climate talks in Egypt in November. ...
Delegates at the September meeting bemoaned the fact that the so-called “synthesis report” — which pulls together findings from three previous chapters on the physical changes, global impacts and mitigation of global warming — would miss the opportunity to add impetus to the discussions at the COP27.

Climate Depot's Marc Morano: There is public anger over the UN IPCC's so-called 'science' report being delayed for months and not available to be used for political purposes during the UN climate summit in Egypt in November 2022. Kudos to Politico for correctly characterizing the UN climate process as a 'shitshow.' This is more evidence that these UN IPCC climate reports are nothing but political lobbying reports designed to influence politicians and the public, not present unbiased science. Note: Climate Depot's Morano attended that Egypt summit in person. See Nov 2022: Watch: Morano’s 40 min. report from the UN climate summit in Egypt on Climate Trace, Great Reset, WHO, Reparations, & Hypocrisy
& 2019: Morano testifies to Congress on how UN reports are ‘authoritative propaganda’ - Morano: "I have attended nearly every United Nations environmental summit since 2002, including the Earth Summits in Johannesburg South Africa and Rio in Brazil. I publicly debated the UN IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri at the 2006 UN climate summit in Nairobi Kenya. I have conducted interviews with UN IPCC scientists and documented how the UN twists and hypes and distorts science in order to push a political agenda."

Media hyped study claims Arctic Ice Seeing ‘Irreversible’ Thinning Since 2007 – Reality Check: Arctic ice now thicker than 15 years ago & same thickness as 1958
Tony Heller: The ice at the North Pole is thicker now than it was 15 years ago, and in fact, the ice is the same thickness now as it was in 1958. New York Times October 19 1958. ... In 1958 Arctic sea ice was about two meters thick and now 65 years later Arctic sea ice is still about two meters thick Arctic sea ice is not disappearing and in fact is the same thickness it was" in 1958.

‘I have made climate one of my top priorities’: Navy secretary cited ‘climate change’ as top priority as Biden proposes shrinking the fleet
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro: "As the Secretary of the Navy, I can tell you that I have made climate one of my top priorities since the first day I came into office," said March 1 in remarks at the University of the Bahamas. "The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps team has been working on climate and energy security for a long time," he said. "And we are accelerating and broadening those efforts." "We view the climate crisis much the same way as damage control efforts on a stricken ship. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment," he added. ... This year, the Biden budget called for the decommissioning of 11 ships and the construction of just nine ships, for a net loss of two vessels.
