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

Choosing the Positive Reality of Hydrocarbons Over ‘Green’ Fantasies

British multinational BP has announced its largest oil and gas discovery in 25 years in Brazil’s Santos Basin. By 2030, daily production is expected to be 2.3 to 2.5 million barrels of oil equivalent, which leaves little doubt that the company is solidly committed to hydrocarbons after a brief flirtation with alternatives like wind and

Poland’s Pragmatic Energy Approach Pays Off

By refusing to play by the EU’s restrictive climate rules, Poland has begun to build one of Europe’s most energy-secure economies. While much of the bloc marches in lockstep towards a self-inflicted economic wound called “net zero,” Poland has chosen a different path – one of pragmatism, national interest and, most importantly, energy security. And

The Ongoing Fiction Of Cheap Wind & Solar Energy

Those claiming that wind and solar energy are cheaper than fossil fuels should be writing scripts for science fiction dramas.  Yet global organizations such as investment firm Lazard and the International Renewable Energy Agency expect this bogus claim to be taken seriously as a basis for investing many billions into essentially useless technologies to save
