Net Zero Hobbits Encounter Realities Outside Middle-earth

We were promised a “green” utopia free of fossil fuels, powered by sunshine and breezes. However, the net zero hobbits living in this imaginary shire were blissfully ignorant of hard realities dictated by physics, engineering and economics. Once trumpeted by corporate giants and governments alike, the vision of a world without greenhouse gas emissions is […]

Media’s Psyop Against Climate Scientists

A coordinated offensive unfolded with precision September 2 against five scientists questioning the popular media’s most sacred bogeyman – the hypothesis that human-induced emissions of carbon dioxide threaten to overheat the planet.   The scientists attacked had written a report published in July by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), “A Critical Review of Impacts of

Latest Science Further Exposes Lies About Rising Seas 

It’s all too predictable: A jet-setting celebrity or politician wades ceremoniously into hip-deep surf for a carefully choreographed photo op, while proclaiming that human-driven sea-level rise will soon swallow an island nation. Of course, the water is deeper than the video’s pseudoscience, which is as shallow as the theatrics.  The scientific truth is simple: Sea levels

In ASEAN Nations, Coal Is a Physical Manifestation of Progress

When most people think of ASEAN – a diverse association of Southeast Asian nations that include Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam – they picture Thailand’s beaches, Singapore’s gleaming skyline or Indonesia’s temples.   What they don’t see is an economic juggernaut that will drive some of the planet’s largest

Greenhouses Pay the Costs of Demonizing ‘Greenhouse Gas’ 

The era of hypothetical warnings about the cost of green policies is over. We have now entered the brutal phase of reporting with empirical data on the economic devastation that the foolish “decarbonization” agenda has left in its wake. The latest exhibit in this gallery of ruin is New Zealand, where the so-called “green” transition

Hanoi’s ‘Green’ Path to Poverty and Blackouts

Vietnam’s decision to prohibit gasoline-powered motorcycles in central Hanoi beginning July 1, 2026, is a textbook example of climate dogma disrupting developing economies with potentially devastating consequences. The policy will take effect in Hanoi’s downtown districts, then expand to outer areas by 2027 and eventually include gasoline automobiles. Other urban centers, such as Ho Chi

Time to Stop Endangerment of Developing Economies With CO2 Regulation

Imagine the irony of labeling a substance as “hazardous” only to discover that the true peril lies not in the substance but in the act of its vilification. That is the case with carbon dioxide (CO₂) and how it has been mischaracterized to establish globally suicidal energy policies. In 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Asian Forests Victims of Intolerable ‘Green’ Lie

In the modern climate debate, emotion and partisan allegiance replace critical thinking to smear carbon dioxide (CO2) as a dangerous pollutant. Well-crafted green advocacies steal the spotlight, while reason languishes in the shadows of medieval-style witch hunts.  The reality, however, is seen in places like the dense tropical forests of Indonesia’s many verdant islands. Among

South American Cold Underscores Role of Oil and Gas

In July, a bone-chilling cold wave swept across South America, plunging nations like Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay into an energy crisis that laid bare the fragility of their power systems. Record-low temperatures, driven by an Antarctic air mass, pushed electricity grids to the brink, forced governments to ration gas, and left thousands without power for
