“There’s a time and a place to platform climate deniers, and it’s never and nowhere.” (- Benjamin Leffel, professor, University of Nevada Las Vegas, below)

It began with this post from UNLV’s climate alarmist/activist Benjamin Leffel. previously profiled at MasterResource.

Fun bringing together some of the top minds on China and climate change during my visit to Berkeley, my friends Nan Zhou, Jingjing Zhang (Berkeley Lab), Weila Gong (California-China Climate Institute ) and Kaihui Song (Energy and Resources Group | University of California, Berkeley). Looking forward to further brainstorming new research on climate solutions!

I responded: “Any skeptics of climate alarm in the group? Should there be?”

Leffel: No to both, because unlike yourself, they’re credentialed researchers and do not take money from big oil.…

“The Trump administration is cutting funding for climate research across all federal departments…. Maybe it’s time for NASA to stick to space exploration, NOAA to stick to weather forecasting, and for the climate models to be shut down.”

Climate models have been the basis for concern about climate change for more than 35 years. The US government, the United Nations, and organizations across the world have used model projections to warn about global warming and to demand a shift to renewable energy. But Trump administration budget cuts at NASA, NOAA, and other federal agencies threaten to shut down the models, the heart of climate change alarmism.

In June of 1988, Senator Tim Wirth, then chair of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, held the first-ever hearing on the science of climate change.…

“Scientists, engineers, and policymakers must reject symbolic solutions and focus on measurable, scalable, and scientifically robust strategies. Not all gases are equally dangerous, and not all solutions are equally wise.”

S.L. Cressey’s No Son, There Won’t Be a Hydrogen Economy is a sharp, data-driven critique of the growing hype surrounding hydrogen as a future energy source. The central argument of the book is clear and unwavering: while hydrogen may have limited industrial and aerospace applications, the broader vision of a global “hydrogen economy” is fundamentally flawed—technically, economically, and especially environmentally.

The hydrogen movement, in short, can be likened to “cargo cult science”—a term popularized by physicist Richard Feynman to describe efforts that mimic the appearance of scientific rigor without engaging with its foundational principles.

The book dispels the prospects of hydrogen as a miracle climate solution.…

“Tomlinson is angry and sarcastic. His worldview is losing intellectually, politically, and business-wise. Is it time for him to retire and happily live off his spouse’s (ill-gotten) renewable energy riches?”

The “existential crisis” climate narrative is in meltdown. Houston solar leader John Berger has resigned, his 12-year-old company (Sunnova) positioned for bankruptcy. Other solar and wind stocks are tanking, and offshore wind is out of play. Battery and EV firms are regular restructuring news.

Climate activists find themselves out of taxpayer monies. The U.S. Department of Energy, Department of Interior, and Environmental Protection Agency are implementing President Trump’s “none-of-government” climate policy, reversing Podesta-Biden-Harris climate alarmism and the budget-busting Inflation Reduction Act.

But there is one fossil-fuel-despising business editorialist who is wed to the Climate Industrial Complex, not to mention a multi-millionaire renewables executive (thanks to your tax money).…
