MISSION STATEMENT Advised by independent scientists, economists and energy and policy experts, the ICSC is a non-partisan entity that works to promote better understanding of climate science and policy worldwide. ICSC aims to help create an environment in which a more rational, open discussion about climate issues emerges, thereby moving the debate away from implementation of costly and ineffectual “climate control” measures. Instead, ICSC encourages assisting vulnerable peoples to adapt to climate variability and continuing scientific research into the causes and impacts of climate change. ICSC also focuses on publicizing the repercussions of misguided plans to “solve the climate crisis”. This includes, but is not be limited to, the dangerous impacts of attempts to replace conventional energy sources with wind turbines, solar power, biofuels and other ineffective and expensive energy sources.

JAY LEHR PhD (Geological Engineering and Groundwater Hydrology) Update : it is with great sadness t hat we announce the passing of Dr. Jay Lehr on January 10, 2023. Dr. Jay Lehr wa s Senior Policy Analyst with the International Climate Science Coalition and former Science Director of The Heartland Institute. He was an internationally renowned scientist, author and speaker who testified before Congress on dozens of occasions on environmental issues and consulted with nearly every agency of the national go vernment, as well as many foreign countries. He was a leading authority on groundwater hydrology. After graduating from Princeton University at the age of 20 with a degree in Geological Engineering, he went on to receive the nation’s first Ph.D. in Groundwater Hydrology from the University of Arizona. He later became exe cutive director of the National Association of Groundwater Scientists and Engineers. Lehr was the author of more than 1,000 magazine and journal articles and 36 books. He was editor of Rational Readings on Environmental Concerns , McGraw-Hill’s Handbook on Environmental Science, Health and Technology (2000); Wiley’s Remediation Technologies Handbook (2004); the Environmental Instrumentation and Analysis Handbook (2005); the six-volume Water Encyclopedia (Wiley Interscience, 2005); and Wiley Interscience’s Nuclear Energy Encyclopedia: Science, Technology, and Applications (2011). Lehr has spoken in front of thousands of audiences on topics ranging from global warming and biotechnology to business management and health and physical fitness. He invariably received the highest scores for entertaining and energizing even the largest of audiences. He was featured in Parachute Magazine in March 2010 for setting a new world record of having jumped from an airplane each and every month for 32 years. Some book reviews by Dr. Lehr: 1 - "A PRIMER (a clear introduct ion) ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING FOR THOSE ON THE POLITICAL LEFT....... OR FOR REPUBLICANS, TO USE IN EXPLAINING GLOBAL WARMING TO THEIR LEFTIST FRIENDS AND RELATIVES ," Joel Glass, Ph.D. 2 - "IS CAPITALISM BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT ," E. Cal Beisner, Ph.D. 3 - "CLIMATE CHANGE: A CONVENIENT TRUTH ," Jim Hollingsworth 4 - "UNDERSTANDING FEDERAL TYRANNY ," Matt Erickson

TERRY DUNLEAVY MBE, JP In Memory of Terry Dunleavy In April 2006, Terry Dunleavy and a group of fellow New Zealanders created the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition (NZCSC) to correct much of the misleading information being disseminated about climate change and man-made global warming. In response to strong international support for the NZCSC’s science-based approach to the debate, and in preparation for the UN Bali climate conference in 2007, Mr. Dunleavy, working with Bryan Leyland and interested citizens from other countries, created the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC). Mr. Dunleavy remained very active in the climate change debate, working closely with the ICSC and NZCSC, maintaining the NZCSC Web site, speaking to public gatherings (view a short excerpt of the presentation Mr. Dunleavy gave in May 2009 in New York City) and writing popular level articles about the issue (e.g. "Let's use cooling off period to check our facts ," New Zealand Herald, May 6, 2008). From 1998 to 2003, Mr. Dunleavy was national co-ordinator of Bluegreens , now the NZ National Party’s advisory group on environmental issues. He was a former journalist and commercial printer, and had been involved in the NZ wine industry for many years, receiving the MBE honor in 1990 for services to the wine industry and the community. Between 1976 and 1991, Mr. Dunleavy was the inaugural CEO of the Wine Institute of New Zealand and had been the editor of the magazine, “New Zealand WineGrower ”, since 1997. Read Mr. Dunleavy's November 18, 2013 article in the New Zealand Herald.

DR. JAY LEHR - BOOK REVIEW Climate Change: A Convenient Truth , by Jim Hollingsworth Book review by Jay Lehr, Ph.D. Jim Hollingsworth has written a concise argument proving that the only disaster which could occur presently from climate change is letting the alarmists convince us to destroy our economy on their behalf. Fear is the most effective way to control society and there are three groups that practice it. First the alarmist leaders are mostly angry, mentally disturbed folks who experience schadenfreude (joy from others misery), second are those who believe all the media tells them, and third, those who profit from alarmism. Hidden in this brief book, which could be your best ever investment of 4 hours of reading time, is the real truth about nearly every environmental scare you are currently acquainted with. While there are less than 200 pages to read, it contains a library of hyperlinks that can take you to the majority of great in-depth articles and videos that can fill out your knowledge. The author opens early with the explanation of a previous fraud perpetrated on us all. The acid rain scare about midwestern power plants producing acidic exhaust that would destroy northeastern forests was an everyday story before global warming. You have heard nothing of it lately because it was an out and out fraud about which the government buried a 600-page report that would have sunk it early on. Everyone knows that Al Gore’s award-winning movie AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH gave legs to the climate change delusion. What few realize is all the lies contained therein such as Antarctic and Greenland melting. Inundated atolls, Kilimanjaro devastation, drying lakes, hurricane Katrina, bleaching coral reefs, Japanese typhoons, Mumbai flooding, disappearing Peruvian glaciers, drying Sahara Desert, increasing tropical diseases and mosquitoes climbing to higher altitudes. My favorite that the author points out is that “no fact in the movie is in dispute”. For this Gore won a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award, which I think says more about the awards than the film. By Chapter 10 Hollingsworth pulls out the heavy artillery in a no holds barred discussion of Capitalism versus Environmentalism which has become a synonym for socialism over recent decades. He makes the effective case that socialism’s rule, by government regulation, never improves the environment the way capitalism has proven to do. History, Hollingsworth says, “has shown time and time again that the more government is involved in a particular industry the more people suffer”. On the technical side, the author describes the value of carbon dioxide in more ways than the average reader will have experienced. Of course, we know there is no plant life or human life without CO2, but it is fun reading its value in dry ice, sourdough bread, fire extinguishers and a variety of manufacturing processes. While we all know that climate alarmism is not about science, but rather politics, Hollingsworth’s scientific arguments against it cannot be matched. In the fewest of words he puts the lie to coral reef bleaching resulting from non-existent global warming and other assorted lies. He explains the damage done by Rachel Carson’s horrendous book Silent Spring. This book undermines a premature switch to inefficient, undependable and costly renewable energy. His history of the electric car, more than a century old is surprising and their performance in cold weather hilarious. As he discusses weather extremes and specie extinctions it reads like having a chat with a calm knowledgeable expert that needs no jargon to impress you. If you think a warming planet has anything to do with increasing forest fires, think again, then think atrocious government forest management, and efficient private forests. Hollingsworth clearly understands that modern environmentalism is nothing more than undercover socialism. He has the advantage of having written the book after the Green New Deal was introduced in the US Congress as he has used it as a whipping boy to show how egregious it all is. This small book supplies the reader with a full understanding of the history and benefits of our energy resources from hydropower to coal to oil and natural gas and nuclear power. The book makes clear that solar and wind make no sense as energy sources for our electric grids, but solar panels can be useful for household energy though not without problems that you will learn here. One day when the anti-capitalist zealots give up on the global warming scare, they will surely find a replacement. Perhaps it will be ocean acidification which Hollingsworth covers well. As short as the book is, it still contains wonderful short stories unveiling the whole truth about polar bears, the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve and the Exxon Valdez oil spill. We cannot recommend this book too highly for anyone desiring to clarify confusion about the Global Warming hoax and other false environmental scares.
