India To Climate Cartel: Count Us Out

Sometimes a story gets buried not because editors conspire against it, but because the news cycle has room for only one crisis at a time. This year the big news has been the Iran war. But even accounting for competing headlines, the silence around a genuinely consequential development is telling.   And that is the story of India’s explicit rejection of […]

Japan Chooses Reliable Energy Over Climate Nonsense

Not long ago, Japan stood before the world pledging to become a paragon of decarbonization.  Government papers were filled with talk of hydrogen corridors, offshore wind farms, and electric vehicle subsidies.   To satisfy international climate lobbies, Japan planned for years to phase out coal. Operations at coal-fired power plants were restricted to only 50% capacity. Political leaders spoke solemnly of a “moral duty” to achieve “carbon neutrality” by

Christians’ Ever-Increasing Battle Against the Pseudo-Scientific Climate Religion

Suffering demands a response. When we see devastation, whether from a flood in North Carolina or a drought in Africa, the heart breaks. Our Father in Heaven does not delight in evil, and as His children, we are commanded to extend compassion — not just through sentiment, but through action. But the biblical concept of

Could Canada’s Energy Future Match the Majesty of Its Rockies?

Canada’s picturesque Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler, British Columbia, is 75 miles of soaring beauty. One of my favorites, the trip takes the traveler from sea level to an elevation of 2,200 feet with nearby peaks more than four times higher. Similarly inspiring in its economic rise was Canada towards the end of 20th century, remaining one of the world’s strongest economies through the global recession of 2009.

G7 Climate Realism Signals Policy Progress

The June G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, marked a major pivot. Driven by severe energy and commodity shocks stemming from the conflict in the Middle East—specifically transit disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—G7 leaders overwhelmingly prioritized energy security, price insulation, and survival of the fossil fuel supply chain over aggressive timelines for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.   Who could have predicted that, rather than condemning

An Imperfect World That Is Better Than Ever 

Much of the world was optimistic after a peace deal ended months of conflict in the Middle East that had disrupted the global oil trade. But peace in that region has long been a tenuous matter, and how long it lasts is anybody’s guess. Nonetheless, there are other reasons for optimism that are not subject to the vagaries of geopolitics.  For the past two decades, the media have reported a “climate crisis” with a conviction that presumed dissent to be insane

Europe’s Crisis Is Energy Poverty, not a Heat Wave 

When temperatures elevate in Europe, political rhetoric rises even faster. Within days of the June 2026 heat wave, familiar voices rushed to assign blame. John Kerry, speaking to the BBC, labeled the current U.S. administration “dangerous and reckless” on climate. U.N. climate chief Simon Stiell declared that “Europe’s savage heat wave has the fingerprints of the climate crisis all over

India Should Abandon Its Ethanol Illusion 

Instability in the Middle East has disrupted oil and gas flows to India. However, India’s proposed plan to produce 30% ethanol-blended gasoline and diesel as a response to supply anxiety would be a costly error. To understand the pending disaster, you only need look to the United States.   Failed American corn-ethanol  For decades, the American government heavily subsidized and mandated corn ethanol in motor fuels.

India’s Record Crops Reject Food, Warming Alarmism

A claim that repeatedly clashes with observable reality demands scrutiny. Such claims survive only when contradictory evidence is buried, data selectively presented, or fear trumps fact. Such is the case with the apocalyptic narrative of climate change.  One among the many pretenses of doomsayers is that shifting climate patterns threaten global food security. Environmental websites like Mongabay war that “climate change, extreme weather, and conflict exacerbate the global food crisis,” as if harvests are failing

Climate’s Alarmism’s Reset and the Policy Reckoning It Demands 

A quiet technical decision in climate science should trigger one of the most consequential policy corrections of this decade.  Deep within the bureaucratic machinery of global climate research sits an obscure modeling group called the Scenario Model Intercomparison Project. It is a foundational component of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project organized by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), which was established in 1980 under the joint sponsorship of
