Critically Thinking about Climate Change — Part 2

As an example, I started by asking WHAT is the core position of climate alarmists? Let’s continue by considering two additional basic questions concerning climate change… Next we should ask HOW alarmists are able sell an unscientific opinion to citizens, legislators, businesses, […]
Critically Thinking about Climate Change — Part 1
By John Droz, Jr. This is a follow-up to my last commentary about how a social influencer found the light regarding the Climate Change issue — after she had fully bought into the alarmist narrative for many years… I thought that a logical next step would be for me to write a brief layperson version of the Science perspective […]
A Climate Convert: In her own words…
By John Droz, Jr. Recently, the EPA made the most significant (and positive) change in U.S. environmental history. Despite what you may see in lamestream media, the issue at stake is very simple: Is CO2 a pollutant? The answer by the current EPA is: NO.

By Conservative Commandos Radio Show and AUN-TV For years, you’ve been one of the most vocal critics of what you call “junk science” — research that’s politically motivated, poorly designed, or deliberately misleading.

How China Sold America the Wind Turbine Scam
By John Droz, Jr. This is a repost of a worthwhile article — this one was on Front Page.

ROOKE: Democrats Willing To Chase Political Pipe Dream Straight Off A Cliff
By The Daily Caller Democrats seem to be feeling energized by some recent positive results and a classic piece of liberal media optimism that paints a picture of supposed cracks in President Donald Trump’s rural support due to tariffs and policy reforms.

Christian Teen Silenced on Zoom — Then the Governor Stepped In
