The mainstream media and policy analysts have been slower than sloths in displaying an understanding of how the United States’ dismantling greenhouse gas limits for power plants is a profound turning point for global energy policy. Moreover, while Washington reclaims industrial common sense, the promise of energy reformation languishes in Africa, especially in nations that

The predictions of climate doomsayers reveal an embarrassing ignorance of a capricious geological history shaped by natural forces too powerful for human control and too complex to allow for meaningful forecasts. What can be said is that we are living in the warmth of an interglacial period known as the Holocene Epoch, which began about

For two decades, the poorest half of humanity had its energy choices dictated by computer-generated climate predictions now considered to be implausible by the people who made them. Developing countries that are home to the impoverished should be following U.S. actions to abandon these flawed forecasts, which have driven destructive climate policies. In August, the
Norway Minister of Energy Terje Aasland told Reuters that his country will keep developing oil and gas in the Barents Sea irrespective of a European Union (EU) ban on Arctic drilling. “In today’s geopolitical and security environment … I believe continued activity in the Barents Sea serves both Norwegian and European interests,” said Aasland.

Drive from Buffalo into Genesee County and you will pass fields that have grown corn and soybeans for generations. Soon, thousands of those acres will be covered by steel and glass. New York state is forcing industrial-scale solar plants onto rural communities that never asked for them, and the people who live there are discovering

The modern debate over food has produced a strange moral arithmetic. A vocal segment of today’s environmental movement insists that killing a calf or drinking a glass of milk is an act of cruelty, yet it defends the legal right to end a human life in the womb. This is not a minor inconsistency. This

For campaigners of the net zero agenda, “climate action” must come first, even if it means throttling the energy lifelines for billions of the poor. The data say something very different. A sweeping analysis by Kevin Dayaratna and Kat Miller, “Energy Abundance and Human Flourishing: A Data‑Driven Global Analysis,” shows what history has already taught

Climate alarmists treat fossil fuels as the producer of soot and environmental damage, yet the record is more complicated and quite positive. New research shows nitrogen deposition from the burning of hydrocarbons has helped to expand plant growth and the greening of large parts of the planet. A Nutrient Hidden in Emissions A 2026 global
