In January the Securities and Exchange Commission withdrew a proposal to list and regulate “natural asset companies,” which would have allowed such companies to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, allowing them to raise investment capital through the stock market. The Cornwall Alliance applauds that decision but also expects that those who supported the proposal will be back again in the future, promoting something different in name but largely the same in substance. Consequently, … [Read more...]

Childless China: Coercive Population Plan Implodes
The following is a guest article by Jon Miltimore. Kenneth Emde of Minnesota, who came of age during the Swinging Sixties, recently explained why he is childless today. “I was a college student when I read [Paul] Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb,” he said in a letter published by the Wall Street Journal. “I took it to heart and now have no grandchildren, but 50 years later the population has increased to eight billion without dire consequences. I was gullible and … [Read more...]
Evolution of the World’s Fuel Intensities
The following is a guest article by Samuel Furfari. A benchmark that explains why green NGOs want to promote energy sobriety The fashion for saving energy, which assumes that human behaviour can compensate for the inelasticity of energy demand, is not new. Only the name is. In 1924, when US President Calvin Coolidge proposed saving oil because he had been told that reserves would soon be exhausted, he devised a strategy called energy conservation. Though compassionate and generous, these … [Read more...]
Wind Farm Contractors Acknowledge Turbines Kill Dolphins, Whales
The following is a guest article by Diana Furchtgott-Roth. When wind turbine companies seek permission to harm sea life, reporters for The Associated Press blame The Heritage Foundation (where I work) and The Heartland Institute, instead of reporting the facts. It was a Chico Marx moment: “Who ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes? The misleading AP article—carried by WBTS-TV in Boston; The Daily Star newspaper of Oneonta, N.Y.; and WTFX-TV in … [Read more...]
The Benefits of Not Meeting Paris Accord Standards
The following is a guest article by Kenneth Richard. The benefits of not meeting Paris Accord emissions-reduction targets outweigh the costs associated even with worst-case-scenario global warming throughout the 21st century. A new comprehensive analysis (Tol, 2023) weighs the cost-benefit of meeting Paris Accord emission policy targets to keep global warming in check, or under 2°C. The analysis reveals that even in the best case scenarios (that assume emission reduction policies … [Read more...]
“Four Pillars of Civilization” Under Attack
The following is a guest article by Peter St Onge. Recently, Tucker Carlson did a video about the elite “anti-human death-cult” that’s using “climate change” to reverse the industrial revolution. Returning us to an age where abject poverty -- even famine -- was a daily reality, while freedom was a distant memory. During the 15 minute interview, Michael Shellenberger said something that bears comment, that "The pillars of civilization are cheap energy, meritocracy, Law and Order, and free … [Read more...]
The Absurdity of Measuring Breath for Climate Change
The following is a guest article by Charles Rotter. In a recent study published in PLOS ONE, titled “Measurements of methane and nitrous oxide in human breath and the development of UK scale emissions,” researchers have embarked on a quest that epitomizes the absurdity of current climate change discourse. This study, focusing on the emissions of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from human breath, is not only a glaring example of scientific overreach but also a worrying indicator of the … [Read more...]
Sorry Biden, CO2 Is Not Pollution. It’s The Currency Of Life
The following is a guest article by Joseph Fournier. I don’t know about you, but I am tired of being bombarded everyday by the claim that CO2 is a pollutant and that as a polluter I must pay. I seriously doubt the average person would accept this perspective, if they understood that CO2 is in fact a prerequisite of Life, and that global food production will expand by trillions of dollars in the coming decades as CO2 levels continue to rise. Even fewer would accept CO2 as … [Read more...]
Naked Power: Now Gov Wants to Regulate Our Clothes — in Climate’s Name
The following is a guest article by Selwyn Duke One generally unmentioned reason prices are so high is that government taxation and regulation increase businesses’ costs, which then are handed down to consumers. A prime example is a regulation dictating that not only must a herring fishing vessel have a federal monitor aboard, but that its owner also must pay the cost of the observer, which reportedly can be $710 a day (this requirement is currently before the Supreme Court). And now there’s … [Read more...]
