Ukraine Conflict Fueled By False “Green” Promises

As surely as the path to hell is paved with good intentions, the slide to the Russia-Ukraine conflict was greased with specious promises of the green lobby. “A year ago, Ukraine’s fate was sealed, and that’s because (President Biden) gave up our energy-exporting business and allowed the Russians” to take it, said former U.S. Deputy […]

“Green” Media Misrepresents World’s Energy Reality

Fossil fuels are out. Coal is no longer king. The Middle East faces an oil crisis. These are typical headlines in the mainstream media.   Unreported is the hard reality of the world’s fossil-dependent developing economies. This story goes untold because media in the developed West seek to create a perception of an inevitable transition to

High Energy Costs the Christmas Gift of ‘Green’ Politicians

The coming cold of winter is being paired with “green-inspired” energy policies that have created higher energy prices and fuel shortages. Historically, winters have been big killers. But centuries of innovation made us more resilient to the cold as we fully utilized the naturally available fossil fuels to generate heat and electricity. However, these modern

The East Slams the West’s Climate ‘Colonialism’

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s explosive comments are not surprising to anyone who has been closely observing the opposition of India and China to western pressure for adopting climate policies contrary to the two countries’ economic objectives. “The colonial mindset hasn’t gone,” said Modi at a Constitution Day event. “We are seeing from developed nations that the

India and China Set Aside Differences to Resist Carbon Imperialism

India and China have come together to resist the common enemy of carbon imperialism, despite a sour relationship fraught with a deadly border skirmish.  At the COP26 climate meeting in Glasgow, leaders from the developed West were hellbent on imposing harsher measures to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide on developing nations. However, India and China, with the support of few other

The Facts: Reporters Exploit Normal Weather to Fan Climate Fear

Exaggeration of weather events to sell climate crisis is not something new. In the case of a Sky News’ account of flooding in one Indian city, my own observations — backed up by independent data — are contrary to the report.  Chennai — my home state’s capital, formerly known as Madras — is prone to floods, whose severity I’ve personally witnessed. In fact, the last time Chennai flooded,

India’s COP-26 promise of Net Zero by 2070 overshadowed by coal use

On COP26’s first day, India’s Prime Minister Modi announced that the world’s second largest coal consumer would become Net Zero by 2070 — a commitment that means almost nothing given realities of the subcontinent’s dependence on fossil fuels to meet the energy needs of 1.3 billion people. Though Modi’s efforts were praised by British PM

Consecutive cold years reveal climate lies of COP26

As world leaders meet this week at Glasgow for COP26, real-life data such as cold weather and increasing sea ice hints at the falseness of their faux climate crises. Residents of Delhi, for instance, are bracing for another cold winter after the country’s meteorological department forecasted below-normal temperatures for November. In fact, a string of

COP26 at Odds With Leaders of Nearly 40 Percent of World’s People, Likely to Fail

India alone is a huge thorn in the sides of the Glasgow glitterati. COP26—the current global gala gathering of climate elite—appears headed for a grand failure as key countries making up nearly 40 percent of the world’s population either spurn the meeting outright or act on the realities of their own circumstances. India has demanded
