In my latest National Post column I say blaming a recent increase in severe storms on man-made global warming is nonsense not because the explanation is wrong in its details but because there hasn't been an increase in severe storms to explain in the first place.

For more useful facts and logical theories about the climate see my new documentary The Environment: A True Story.

With great pleasure I announce the release of my latest documentary. The Environment: A True Story compares the claims of global warming alarmists with widely accepted facts about the past history and present state of the Earth.

Thanks to hundreds of backers who made it possible, it is now available free on YouTube. Backers should hear from me shortly about getting their copies. If you didn't back the project but would like to purchase a high-res ad-free digital copy or order a DVD it will soon be possible via my online store.

Thanks again to everyone who made it possible.

In my latest National Post column I say the strong showing of the allegedly "far right" Alternative für Deutschland in the German election means you must either call one in eight German voters a neo-Nazi or concede that many normal people are deeply dissatisfied with politics as usual nowadays.

"What is history but the story of how politicians have squandered the blood and treasure of the human race?"

In my latest National Post column I say tax reform would be easier to discuss and accomplish if governments weren't universally desperate for money. So arguably politicians and voters should give more thought to why they are.

"No theory, no history."

In my latest National Post column I say that not attacking North Korea is a lot riskier than it sounds.
