When climate, public relations meet

Posted on June 4, 2010 by energyprbe

(June 4, 2010) Environmentalism may be the world`s fastest-growing religion. And, like other religions, its ability to win converts often relies on crises. After the scarce over the coming ice age failed to materialize in the 1970s, environmentalism was given a real boost when the global warming crisis revved up. Continue reading →

(June 3, 2010) Contrary to the warnings of global warming alarmists, most islands in the Pacific are stable or expanding, according to a study published last month in Global and Planetary Change. While 14% of the islands studied showed a decline in area, 43% were stable and 43% expanded in size. None of the changes in area were dramatic. Continue reading →

It’s the Sun, stupid

Posted on May 25, 2010 by energyprbe

Four years ago, when I first started profiling scientists who were global warming skeptics, I soon learned two things: Solar scientists were overwhelmingly skeptical that humans caused climate change and, overwhelmingly, they were reluctant to go public with their views. Often, they refused to be quoted at all, saying they feared for their funding, or they feared other recriminations from climate scientists in the doomsayer camp. When the skeptics agreed to be quoted at all, they often hedged their statements, to give themselves wiggle room if accused of being a global warming denier. Continue reading →
