Florida Wildlife Raise More Doubts About Climate Fearmongering

By /

“Scientific studies,” activist fundraising pitches and “news” stories about apocalyptic threats to Earth’s wildlife are as ubiquitous as trees in the Pacific Northwest.   Overexploitation and habitat alteration had been the gravest causes of the existential crisis facing Earth’s wild animal species. But now, they assert, “intensifying climate change” has become a third major factor. (See here, here and here.)   Alarmists even claim climate change affects bird migration and reproduction by disrupting their biological rhythms and schedules. They never mention that wind turbines slaughter […]

No, Paris, US Air Conditioners Did Not Cause Europe’s Heat Wave  

By /

Happy July Fourth and America 250!   We have much to celebrate, beginning with our Constitutional rights, equality, and liberties, and the prosperity they have bestowed. Indeed, living in this incredible, diverse, energized country, during this time in history, with our modern transportation, communication, healthcare, and AIR CONDITIONING technologies, is a true blessing.   We can also be thankful if we aren’t in Europe this summer, with its 40˚C (104˚F) heat wave – and virtually no air conditioning.   Europe

Worry about climate fearmongering – not climate change

By /

America’s teenagers and young adults are experiencing a “troubling rise” in anxiety, depression, emergency room visits, suicidal thoughts, and suicide, the Centers for Disease Control, psychological and psychiatric organizations, schools, and other observers are reporting … yet again.   CDC’s 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that 40% of American students experienced persistent feelings of hopelessness, 28% experienced poor mental health, 20% seriously considered attempting suicide, and 10% had attempted suicide.   The researchers

What About Earth’s Threatened and Endangered People?

By /

Another Earth Day has come and gone – number 57, like Heinz steak sauce. Once again, the media, activists and international agencies fed us pablum, exaggeration and alarmism. Our public lands, the Endangered Species Act, biodiversity and environmental justice are under threat, they raged. Oceans are filling with plastic waste. Big polluting corporations are getting away

Misguided ‘Repair the World’ Climate Philanthropy  

By /

The Bronfman family built the Seagram Company into the fabulously successful Canadian real estate, beverage and entertainment conglomerate. After selling Seagram to Vivendi in 2000, it deepened its commitment to Birthright Israel and other Jewish philanthropies.   Like his father, Stephen Bronfman has long been active in Liberal Party of Canada politics. He recently launched the Jewish Climate Trust, published the Jewish Guide to Climate Philanthropy and explained why he believes “climate action is the next great Jewish

Glyphosate opponents vs nutrition and modern agriculture  

By /

President Trump recently signed an Executive Order invoking the Defense Production Act to ensure increased domestic supplies of elemental phosphorus – a critical component of glyphosate-based herbicides that are vital for America’s non-organic crop productivity and thus national security.    The EO has rekindled anti-pesticide activism and public concern about glyphosate, which used to be the primary ingredient in Roundup for home use but was changed following numerous class action lawsuits. It’s also created internal conflicts within the

Climate Alarmists Howl After EPA Rescinds ‘Endangerment’  

By /

The US Environmental Protection Agency has finally rescinded the 2009 Endangerment Finding (EF) – the Obama era EPA ruling that claimed carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gas” (GHG) emissions “endanger” human health and welfare. Within minutes, climate alarmists challenged it in court.   The action follows an extensive review of scientific evidence, legal and constitutional principles, and 572,000 public comments (534,000 via mass comment campaigns).   EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called it “the single largest deregulatory action in US history.” Just eliminating federal GHG emission standards for vehicles (model years 2012–2027 and beyond) will

Can The US Grid Handle The Next Winter Storm Fern – or Major Solar Flares?

Winter Storm Fern (January 23-27) dumped heavy snow and ice on more than 240,000,000 Americans across 40 states and 2,300 miles, beginning in Arizona and wrapping up in Maine.   Scores died, including 20 in New York City, where Mayor Mamdani refused to close homeless camps or compel “unhoused residents” to move indoors, instead letting them rely on the “warmth of collectivism.”   Roads and highways were impassable, 11 states declared emergencies, 30 airports closed for a day or more, and many cities recorded 10-24 inches of

Poor Nations Won’t Follow Europe, UN in Economic Suicide

By /

Calling them wasteful and a threat to America’s sovereignty, freedoms and prosperity, President Trump pulled the United States out of 66 international organizations – most importantly the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the foundation for “climate crisis” treaties and policies.   He also withdrew the US from the Paris climate agreement, vetoed US attendance at
