Climate change minister calls for 'stronger case' after environment secretary warns of clean energy dangers

Brian Kilmeade Asks RealClearScience Editor About ‘The Whole Global Warming Scam’ | Mediaite

On Wednesday, Fox & Friends‘ Brian Kilmeade spoke with Dr. Alex Berezow, a RealClearScience editor and author of Science Left Behind, about his take on the left’s relationship with science.

“Scientists are great at doing science, but they’re not necessarily great at proposing policy,” he explained. “Whenever you consider policy implications, you are to consider things other than science, like economics or legal matters. And sometimes when scientists become politically active, it tends to turn off a lot of the public and it tends to undermine the scientific process.”

Like, Kilmeade, offered, “the whole global warming scam.”

“Well, you know, I don’t think global warming is a scam,” said Berezow, “but I do think that it becomes problematic when you have scientists very publicly endorse certain policies.”

The Reference Frame: Earth may be cancelling the 2012-2013 El Niño

It must be frustrating for the climate alarmists who have been lying to the whole world for many, many years that the Earth is constantly heating up, perhaps every day or every year, and the most unhinged ones even say that this trend is dangerous and should force us to change the behavior or the basics of the industrial civilization. Except that since 1998 which is a rather long time ago, they haven't been able to "boast" which a warmer year. These folks must feel like piles of rubbish, unscrupulous fraudsters – i.e. as what they actually are.

Teachers help investigate climate change in Antarctica – video | Science | guardian.co.uk

Antarctica is one of the harshest, most unforgiving environments on Earth, but it offers unique opportunities to study glaciers, geology and climate change. This film follows a team of intrepid geography teachers on a field trip to the frozen continent in which they researched the melting of glaciers by measuring the abundance and distribution of 'cryoconite holes'. The teachers spent time training for their expedition on a glacier in Norway, but nothing could quite prepare them for the conditions they would encounter in Antarctica
