In a landmark move that may well redefine the future of U.S.-India trade relations and global energy geopolitics, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance announced the initiation of a new trade deal with India. The day after his meeting with the Indian Prime Minister Modi April 21, Vance said that the two countries had “officially finalized the terms of reference for the trade negotiation.”The deal, initiated against the backdrop of Trump’s tariff threats, could turn out to be a masterstroke of economic … [Read more...]
Traditional Media Turn Complex Science Into Impending Catastrophe
Having abandoned objective reporting, the mainstream media’s refusal to adopt a neutral stance on climate change has transformed a complex scientific debate into a monolithic narrative of impending catastrophe.Far from being impartial arbiters, media outlets are enthusiastic propagandists recycling doomsday predictions that consistently fail to materialize while ignoring a wealth of scientific research that challenges the narrative of disastrous warming.This isn’t journalism; it is activism … [Read more...]
Trump’s Example to the World: Cull Activists to Achieve Energy Abundance
Simply by following the lead of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, national leaders of developing countries can clear away obstacles to rational energy policy that have been erected by climate activists.On April 8, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Protecting American Energy from State Overreach,” a bold step to counter what he described as ideologically driven assaults on his nation’s energy development. The order declares that “American energy dominance is threatened when state … [Read more...]
Summertime Reality Twisted Into Climate Exasperation
Growing up in the sun-scorched plains of Southern India, where summer temperatures often flirt with 104 degrees Fahrenheit, I learned early that extreme heat is not an anomaly but a seasonal reality to be expected. Yet, all of us confront the metaphorical heat of relentless rhetoric from climate alarmists who insist our planet is overheating beyond the point of salvaging.In Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore), the city I now call home, climate narratives often echo global hysteria. Headlines scream … [Read more...]
Fossil fuels and fertilizers: a pairing that feeds the world
Amid Earth Day’s impassioned calls to save the planet for future generations, a disquieting irony emerges: Efforts to eradicate fossil fuels – a linchpin of modern agro-industrial systems – risk severing the very supply chains that make global food security possible. From famine to abundance: green revolutionContemporary food production sustains a global populace of approximately 8 billion – and increasing – with a large percentage of individuals in wealthier countries consuming … [Read more...]
We Must End Climate Religion’s Hijack of Earth Day
Every April, the world pauses to mark Earth Day — an occasion that once invited reflection on tangible environmental concerns, like cleaning polluted rivers, planting trees, and securing clean air for urban populations.But like so much of the modern environmental movement, Earth Day has been co-opted by a doomsday cult masquerading as science. What began as a reasonable appeal for local stewardship has transformed into an international campaign of fearmongering about earth’s complex climate … [Read more...]
No Climate Mayday in Madras: Reconsidering Doomsday Narratives
A decade ago, I was able to get away from a terrible flood that killed more than 500 people in the southern India city of Chennai (formerly known as Madras). The bus taking me from the city barely managed to avoid rising water slowly but inexorably engulfing the roads.My escape was only possible because I had been tracking the movement of a cyclone that had brought the deluge. That flood was not unusual. Once known for its light cotton fabric designs known by the Madras name and most popular in … [Read more...]
Media’s Green Pandering Lures Developing World Into Disaster
Most, if not all, individuals encountered daily in my native country of India appear to have adopted the media’s narrative of a climate crisis. Of course, individuals with demanding schedules often lack the time or energy to research climate science and sort through conflicting assertions in the news.Ideologues, in collaboration with much of the media, have exploited the public’s naivete to promote fear of a supposedly overheating planet and halt the use of fossil fuels. The result has been … [Read more...]
Hydrocarbon-friendly Trump a match for energy-hungry India
With 1.4 billion energy-hungry citizens, India stands at the epicenter of the geopolitics of energy and climate policy. As the world’s third-largest energy consumer and projected to have the fastest growth in demand over the next two decades, the subcontinent’s choices reverberate far beyond its borders.The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that India will account for a staggering 25% of growth in global energy demand by 2040, driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization and an … [Read more...]
Trump energy choices saving America from economic disaster
Having discerned the Green New Deal as fraudulent, President Trump’s shift to maximize proven energy technologies may very well be America’s salvation from an economic disaster that climate policies were sure to deliver.The forced “transition” to alternative energy – relentlessly evangelized by policymakers, environmentalists, and corporate titans – promised to save humanity from purported perils of climate change. But far from being a solution, the movement proved a perilous misadventure, … [Read more...]
