Wrong, PBS, Real-World Data Doesn’t Show That a Climate Crisis Is Happening
PBS follows a familiar script: cherry-pick extreme weather events, misrepresent ocean chemistry, and ignore the overwhelming benefits of CO₂, all to justify heavy-handed government intervention. PBS and AP may prefer…
Why Isn’t the Mainstream Media Reporting that Ocean Circulation Is Doing Well?
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is not collapsing, is not slowing catastrophically, and is not about to trigger an Ice Age. The latest scientific research confirms what observational data has…
