The Chicago Tribune failed in its journalistic duty of producing a story grounded in facts. Instead of merely reporting on the danger and human interest aspects of the recent severe storms, they attempted to fearmonger...

We need a permitting framework that is rigorous but workable, environmentally responsible, and decisive. One that allows critical infrastructure to be evaluated thoroughly and then, once approved, actually built and put into...

Scientists expect 41% of the projected global population to face the extremes, with ‘no part of the world’ immune

The real story of extreme weather is not one of failure, but of resilience. Adaptation has outpaced hazard—not the other way around.

The climate system is not an oscillator. It has oscillatory components, but the whole system is a gradient-driven heat engine. It moves energy from where there is a lot of it (the tropics) to where there is very little (the...

It’s a climate-vulnerable nation, while also being the world’s sixth-largest greenhouse-gas emitter. Global investment in climate action is vital

2025 Climate Speaker - Roger Pielke, Jr. (The Honest Broker)

As should be obvious to any honest observer exercising the least bit of common sense, the reason for rising disaster costs is clear, the expanding bullseye effect.

However, there is no real-world data showing such disasters are becoming more common or deadly, or any indication whatsoever that human greenhouse gas emissions cause or contribute to them...

NBC’s hailstorm climate segment is a masterclass in misleading science communication and seems to be more about funding than science.

In summary, this paper offers a case study in climate science as performance art. There’s an obligatory nod to uncertainty, a parade of statistical significance at thresholds so generous even carnival barkers might blush,...

The NewScientist, and the AGU study it references, should have quit when they were ahead. They should have published their unalarming findings about climate change’s lack of an impact on the winter jet stream without then...

Storm naming competition raises idea to remind public of link between fossil fuels and extreme weather

All in all, the Forbes piece is pretty vague and innocuous outside of the false confidence projected of increasing severe weather based on some claims made by NASA that the author cites as authoritative...

Bill will unleash millions more tonnes of planet-heating pollution and couldn’t come at a worse time, say experts
