Credentials

Mark Steyn attended the King Edward’s School in Birmingham, U.K., leaving in 1978, at the age of 18. Steyn does not appear to have a college education or any background in climate science.¹“Mark Steyn,” Wikipedia.

Background

Mark Steyn is the author and columnist of SteynOnline.com, where he writes “Steynposts”—commentary on current events—Monday through Friday, columns on politics and war, arts and culture, and on free-speech issues in the “Defend Free Speech! section” of his website.³“Defend Free Speech!” SteynOnline.com. Archived September 2, 2014. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/bWnhl

Steyn regularly appears on television including The Rush Limbaugh Program and The Sean Hannity Show, in addition to a weekly appearance on The Hugh Hewitt Radio Show. Mark Steyn claims he “is an international bestselling author […] and a leading Canadian human rights activist.” According to his website, Steyn’s writing “has been published in almost every major newspaper around the English-speaking world, including Britain’s Daily Telegraph, Canada’s National Post, The Australian, The Irish Times, The Jerusalem Post, The Wall Street Journal, and many more.”⁴“Mark’s bio,” SteynOnline.com. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/oK2t1

He briefly ran The Mark Steyn Show, a show that was only aired for two months before being cancelled by CRTV. The Daily Beast reported that Steyn subsequently sued the conservative media startup for cancelling his show.⁵Lachlan Market. “Inside the Collapse of the Mark Steyn Show,” The Daily Beast, March 13, 2017.

A 2004 profile of Steyn in the Boston Phoenix described him as “the most toxic right-wing pundit you’ve never heard of” and “a pungent columnist, essayist, and critic who’s not well known in the United States, but whose political screeds are published in English-speaking countries around the world. A native of Canada who divides his time among New Hampshire, Quebec, and London, Steyn is a self-described right-wing warmonger.”⁶Dan Kennedy. “Steyn’s way: Write, twist, smear, and sneer. Repeat!” Boston Phoenix, June 18, 2004. Archived March 23, 2016. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/WBbbi

The Phoenix compared him to Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, writing that Steyn possesses “a shrill, mocking tone of moral certainty that consigns those who disagree with him to the status of appeasers or even terrorists; and a willingness to distort, misrepresent, and omit facts in order to advance his argument.”⁷Dan Kennedy. “Steyn’s way: Write, twist, smear, and sneer.

Stance on Climate Change

August, 2014

“Now I don’t consider myself a big credentialed expert or anything. I simply looked at a graph Michael E Mann hadn’t been anywhere near and drew the obvious conclusion. Gave it two minutes’ thought, if that. The reason it’s taking climate science so much longer to draw that obvious conclusion is because ideology and the ideological enforcers like Mann got in the way.”⁸Mark Steyn. “Settled Science Catches Up with Steyn,” SteynOnline.com, August 27, 2014.

“For the last century, we’ve had ever-so-slight warming trends and ever-so-slight cooling trends every 30 years or so, and I don’t think either are anything worth collapsing the global economy over.”⁹Mark Steyn. “Climate Change You Can Believe In,” National Review Online, July 25, 2009.

Comments Surrounding 2021 Capitol Insurrection

Mark Steyn was among dozens of the individuals and organizations profiled in DeSmog’s Disinformation Database who posted online or gave interviews about the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection. Some posted claims of election fraud, similar to those that drove the Stop the Steal rally on Jan. 6. Some circulated dubious information about the insurrection itself. DeSmog has preserved a selection of notable posts related to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, including some that were later deleted or removed.

Steyn appeared on the Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Jan. 6, 2021. He then recounted on his website:¹⁰Mark Steyn. “This Is Not Who We Are…” Steyn Online, January 7, 2021. Archived January 28, 2021. Archive URL: https://archive.vn/nvH6z

“On Wednesday I joined Tucker Carlson to discuss the so-called storming of the Capitol. …

The media may be sentimental about the Capitol, but in my unscientific survey of my North Country neighbors the people aren’t. Congress has an approval rating that falls somewhere between Isis and child pornographers. … The political class (represented by a Speaker who flies home to San Francisco on her own government plane) has been largely insulated from the pathologies they have loosed upon the land. For a few hours yesterday they weren’t. … During the early evening I found myself wondering why the pundits were so insistent on standing on the Capitol’s dignity. The obvious reason is that, for the most lavishly protected legislature in the world (okay, make that ‘legislature’), it was a total security fiasco – culminating in the murder of an unarmed woman by a (to put it mildly) totally incompetent copper firing into a crowd (which an American couldn’t do in, say, Kandahar). The rubbish about the ‘desecration’ of the ‘sacred’ ‘majesty’, etc, etc, peddled by Democrats and Republicans alike is designed to evade the vile reality of that grotesque act. …”

Key Quotes

November 23, 2018

Appearing on Fox News as a substitute host for Tucker Carlson on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Steyn was discussing the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi with Nigel Farage when he said:

“And we should also be clear, too, Khashoggi is being presented as a hero of journalism. He’s probably going to be Time magazine’s Man of the Year just because he is a dead so-called journalist. But in fact he was kind of a deep state Saudi spook who just happened to fall out with the royal family. In a sense, it’s different sets of bad guys we’re arguing about when we’re talking about Saudi Arabia.”¹¹Joe DePaolo. “Fox News Host: ‘Dead So-Called Journalist’ Khashoggi Really ‘Deep State Saudi Spook’,” Medaite, November 23, 2018.

On an episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Steyn criticised Nancy Pelosi and CNN’s Chris Cuomo for being more critical of white supremacists than undocumented immigrants:¹²Judd Legum. “The unrepentant racism of Tucker Carlson Tonight,” ThinkProgress, January 18, 2018.Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/On04n

“The white supremacists are American citizens. The illegal immigrants are people who shouldn’t be here,” Steyn said.

“[…] And this preference that Nancy Pelosi and Chris Cuomo and increasing people have for actually importing a class of citizen that they prefer to the ones they are stuck with is actually very revealing.”¹³Judd Legum. “The unrepentant racism of Tucker Carlson Tonight,” ThinkProgress, January 18, 2018.Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/On04n

“Essentially we have two competing views of primitivism fighting for supremacy in our world. Both of them hate the Western developed world. The environmental crowd think it’s a great evil. So do the Sharia crowd. And once every so often these conflicting models of primitivism interact.

Earth hour. You know Earth hour? This ridiculous thing every year where they turn off the lights for an hour on a Saturday evening and you pretend you’re doing something to save the planet by sitting in the dark for an hour. In Sweden, a Swedish town a couple of weeks ago, they had to cancel earth hour because they’ve taken in so many so-called ‘refugees’ that it’s unsafe to switch the lights off for an hour. Because the hot Scandivanian blonds are going to be feeling a lot of unwanted attention as they’re wandering around an entirely darkened Swedish town for 60 minutes.

And that’s fascinating to me. That’s the the two different models of primitivism: Two groups that most hate the modern Western world and want to destroy it, and have competing models of primitivism. And the soft, delusional utopian primitivism of Western environmentalists when it came up against the hard, serious face of hardcore Islamic primitivism—Earth Hour in Sweden—the hardcore guys, their primitivism model won out. Because they mean it. And these soft, sappy, deluded, middle aged Western students don’t.”¹⁴“Mark Steyn’s Stand Against Climate Alarmism: In-Depth with the Climate Crybully Conniption-Inducer” (YouTube Video), uploaded by user The New Criterion, April 25, 2016.

“I want to get to court as soon as possible, and put Michael E Mann, PhD (Doctor of Phraudology) on the stand under oath. I haven’t wasted two years on this guy to be denied my moment in court. That’s one reason I’ve countersued Mann. He thinks the DC Superior Court is competent to litigate his fraudulent ‘hockey stick’.

January 18, 2018

ThinkProgress reported that Steyn presented “racist commentary” about Hispanic Americans on an epsiode of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight. According to Steyn, the “majority of grade school students in Arizona are Hispanic,” and suggests this means that “Arizona’s future is as an Hispanic society.” “That means, in effect, the border has moved north,” Steyn said.²⁰Judd Legum. “The unrepentant racism of Tucker Carlson Tonight,” ThinkProgress, January 18, 2018.Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/On04n

Earlier in the program, Steyn criticized Nancy Pelosi and CNN’s Chris Cuomo for being more critical of white supremacists than undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.

Mark Steyn sued CRTV after the company cancelled The Mark Steyn Show, which had aired for two months. Steyn said that his “employees will suffer irreparable harm because they will lose their health insurance coverage as a result of [CRTV’s] actions.²²Lachlan Market. “Inside the Collapse of the Mark Steyn Show,” The Daily Beast, March 13, 2017.

Styn’s CRTV contract demanded five episodes per week, amounting to about 45 minutes each when including time for commercial breaks. However, CRTV claimed that Styn only produced 11 episodes longer than 40 minutes, and had sent Steyn a breach of contract on February 8 requiring him to produce eight full-length episodes. When he only turned in four, the company informed Steyn the show had been cancelled on February 20. Steyn filed the lawsuit on February 22.²⁵Lachlan Market. “Inside the Collapse of the Mark Steyn Show,” The Daily Beast, March 13, 2017. Archived March 14, 2017 .

The show’s crew members told The Daily Beast, in sworn declarations, that they thought Mark Steyn’s “lack of preparation and refusal to cooperate” made it impossible to meet the production requirements. According to another sworn declaration, “Mark Steyn was incredibly disorganized, often did not show up on scheduled production days, and snuck out of the studio so that nobody would know his whereabouts. Because of this conduct, it would take a week to shoot an episode instead of the designated day.”²⁶Lachlan Market. “Inside the Collapse of the Mark Steyn Show,” The Daily Beast, March 13, 2017.

Editor Alan Moran summarized Steyn’s contribution as follows:

Mark Steyn’s essay ‘Ship of Fools’ demonstrates how environmen­tal activist, Professor Chris Turney inadvertently parodied Douglas Mawson’s Antarctic expedition. Turney had expected to see a path to the Pole cleared for his ship by global warming. After all, Al Gore had predicted an ice free Arctic by now. Instead, Turney’s Guardian backed expedition had to be rescued from expanding ice. A genuine scientist, as Turney claims to be, should have realised that Antarctic ice is expanding not increasing.⁴¹Alan Moran. “Climate Change: the facts 2014,” Catallaxy Files (blog), December 16, 2014.

As reported by DeSmog, just as Steyn did in his article in The Spectator, Moran failed to point out that Turney’s expedition did know about recent sea ice trends in Antarctica because they explicitly identified this as something to study before they set off.⁴²Graham Readfearn. “Australian Tax Breaks Help Fund Climate Science Denier Mark Steyn’s Libel Defense in the US,” DeSmog, May 14, 2015. ⁴³Graham Readfearn. “What’s going on with global warming and Antarctica’s growing sea ice?” The Guardian, March 11, 2014.
