• An Earth Day Reminder: “Global Warming” is Only ~50% of What Models Predict
  The claim by the Biden Administration that climate change has placed us in a moment of “profound crisis” ignores the fact that the energy policy changes being promoted are based upon computer model simulations which have produced average warming…
