“Sounds like the alarmists are losing when they call in the thought police. And they are losing.”
A new international group, Climate Action Against Disinformation (CAAD), advertises itself as the policer against “climate change misinformation and disinformation.”
We are a global coalition of over 50 prominent climate and anti-disinformation organisations, calling for decisive, unified action against widespread climate misinformation and disinformation.
Why? CAAD continues:
Climate change misinformation and disinformation create a distorted perception of climate science and solutions; meanwhile they weaken the public mandate for effective domestic and international policies aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Nothing subjective about it. CAAD’s “Universal definition” is stated:
… Continue ReadingClimate disinformation and misinformation refers to deceptive or misleading content that:
Undermines the existence or impacts of climate change, the unequivocal human influence on climate change, and the need for corresponding urgent action according to the IPCC scientific consensus and in line with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement;
Misrepresents scientific data, including by omission or cherry-picking, in order to erode trust in climate science, climate-focused institutions, experts, and solutions; or
Falsely publicises efforts as supportive of climate goals that in fact contribute to climate warming or contravene the scientific consensus on mitigation or adaptation.
“The multi-decade distraction of ‘the climate crisis’ is now being cut down to size. The Climategate emails revealed the professional rot 15 years ago, and more and more money spent on climate alarm has been wasted since. It is time to stop throwing good money after bad to, alas, quieten the issue.”
The mid-course correction of U.S. policy to reign-in the out-of-control Climate Science Complex is front-page news at home and abroad. Such reform is long overdue. The bloated 25,000 registrations for the last American Geophysical Society meeting indicate how big a government-subsidized sub-industry has become. Maybe next year’s climate confab will be half as much, or less.
More Tax Dollars, Please
Is more taxpayer money needed to understand global climate change since, alas, less is known than thought? Such a plea came from climatologists Gavin Schmidt and Zeke Hausfather in the New York Times, We Study Climate Change.…

And the dissolution should be done in such a way as to not have the agency reappear. Reagan promised to do so but did not. Secretary Wright should do so.”
Spending other people’s money like a drunken sailor. Touting inferior energies as if they were good for consumers, investors and the environment. Creating artificial, wasteful political jobs in light of the $36 trillion deficit. And in the end, throwing gold bricks off the Titanic. In short, creating the mess that your successor has to now clean up, and hurting numerous people in the process.
But Jennifer Granholm, the former Secretary of Energy, is sad. She recently wrote on LinkedIn:
To my DOE colleagues:
Like many of you, I’ve been sick about the news of the past month.…
