Climate Annoying? Open the Mind Instead
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- March 6, 2025“… talking to your friends and family [about climate change] … is a great place to start. You might be annoying. But you’ll be helping.” – Sammy Roth [1]
Sammy Roth, climate columnist at the Los Angeles Times, might need an intervention from a loved one. He wants us all, like him, to annoyingly talk about climate change. I doubt many will take him up on it, and his next family get-together might hang in the balance.
Roth states in Boiling Point: Want to fight climate change? Then talk about Climate Change (February 25, 2025):

‘Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past’
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- March 5, 2025“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.”
– David Viner, Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia (2000)
One argument against the climate alarmism is the failed predictive record of the scientist-activists themselves. One salient example can be found in The Independent (March 20, 2000), “Snowfalls are now Just a Thing of the Past. The prediction belonged to David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia (yes, of Climategate infamy).
The Independent has deleted this article, but secondary sources have captured it for posperity. As in: never forget….
“Britain’s winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives,” the article began. Continuing:

WSJ Energy Feature Errant, Politically Obsolete (Sheridan rebuts)
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- March 4, 2025“Just when it seemed hard reality had stamped out the last baseless predictions of a global green energy revolution saving the world from climate change, the WSJ publishes a cringe-worth essay so detached from reality it’s hard to read.” (— D. Sheridan, below)
Doug Sheridan of EnergyPoint Research is part of an intellectual energy brigade that runs circles around learned academics on energy/climate issues. He recently rebutted a Review article in the weekend Wall Street Journal edition, “The Clean Energy Revolution is Unstoppable” by Eric Beinhocker and J. Doyne Farmer of Oxford University, subtitled “The Trump administration is determined to promote fossil fuels, but the economic and technological forces driving solar, wind and other sources are now too powerful to resist.”
Bunk. Such an article is now out of date with the energy “transition” going in reverse.…
