Understanding Climate Change: A PDF download

Humans cannot affect global temperature change, so damaging Western economies with Net Zero policies is pointless. We can, however, learn to adapt to climate change

By Roger Palmer, Climate Realists of B.C., June 9, 2025

Summary

This paper discusses the many myriad factors that affect the Earth’s climate, many of which are still poorly understood. It presents a number of conclusions:

a) Climate change is a naturally-occurring, cyclic phenomena, and it has been going on for millions of years.… Read more

Texas is hosting the energy of the future—and it isn’t wind and solar

Next-generation power is coming from smaller, cheaper, and much faster to build ‘new nuclear’ reactors

By Stephen McBride, The Rational Optimist Substack, June 1, 2025

Imagine a nuclear reactor the size of a shipping container quietly powering your local hospital. It pumps out energy that’s cleaner than natural gas, more reliable than solar, and safer than any other energy source.… Read more

The physics—and ‘ideological bias’—behind the Iberian electrical grid crash

Nation-wide blackout a wake-up call that ‘sustainable’ wind and solar energy cannot sustain a modern electrical network

By Bjorn Lomborg, Wall Street Journal, June 03, 2025

When a grid failure plunged 55 million people in Spain and Portugal into darkness at the end of April, 2025, it should have been a wake-up call on green energy. Climate activists promised that solar and wind power were the future of cheap, dependable electricity. The massive half-day blackout shows otherwise. The nature of solar and wind generation makes grids that rely on them more prone to collapse—an issue that’s particularly expensive to ameliorate.… Read more

Is climate science a physical science?

By Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP), May 31, 2025

This article, while technical, discusses the IPPC’s approach to greenhouse gases and asks: Would a true physical science conclude that increased carbon dioxide, a minor greenhouse gas, is the primary cause of the current ‘global warming’? The article is worth reading for anyone who wants an informed understanding of how a) greenhouse gases actually work and b) how the IPCC distorts the science of GHGs.

Is climate science a physical science? Is it based on physical evidence where the results of experiments and observations are the ultimate judge? As Richard Feynman stated in The Meaning of It All: “If there is an exception to any rule, and if it can be proved by observation, that rule is wrong.”… Read more
