EPA’s CO2 Reversal Is Welcome Opening for Developing World

By /

On a crisp, sun-drenched afternoon in the spring of 2023, I found myself walking down Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C., in front of the William Jefferson Clinton Building, headquarters of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).   Standing in its shadow, I wondered when, or if, sanity would ever return to the building. My mind drifted to the regulatory malfeasance that gave this agency power to treat carbon dioxide (CO2) as a […]

Why Climate Science Is Not Settled

By /

The repeated claim that climate science is “settled” overlooks myriad uncertainties, competing mechanisms and computer models that miss the mark when tested against reality. Declaring finality in such a field reflects political confidence – even arrogance – not scientific maturity.  The model-reality divergence  Computer models – based on faulty premises – are the bible for the modern climate movement. This despite the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) describing climate as a “coupled,

Real Environmental Crisis Is Not Climate Change 

By /

What if the worst environmental problem wasn’t the one everyone is talking about? While Western elites sip fair-trade coffee and obsess over carbon footprints, the developing world drowns in a toxic soup of its own making – a crisis entirely distinct from the phantom menace of climate change.  The real environmental emergency isn’t the modest warming

Across the Atlantic, a Self-Inflicted Disaster is Steadily Unfolding.

By /

Across the Atlantic, a self-inflicted disaster is steadily unfolding. One of the United States’ closest allies, the United Kingdom, has surrendered energy riches and industrial prowess.   This decline is not the result of any shortage of capital, technological capacity or natural resources. Instead, it is the consequence of an ideologically driven climate agenda that has

Canada Comes to Grips With Financial and Energy Needs

By /

A recent memorandum of understanding between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith represents the inevitable reassertion of economic necessity over the fantasy of “decarbonization” that has gripped Ottawa for the past decade.  Allowing for the construction of a pipeline to transport Albertan oil to a Pacific export terminal, the agreement prompted

Africa’s Pipeline Rejects Climate Dogma and Foreign Control

By /

Political powers in the United Nations and European Union have spent decades lecturing Africa on climate “virtue.” Net-zero pledges, renewable targets, ESG frameworks and more make up the ever-growing list of prescriptions for “healing the planet.”  Having already industrialized through the use of fossil fuels and enjoying full bellies, stable power grids and unprecedented luxury,

Climate Alarmism’s Credibility Sinks Under Weight of Ecological Evidence 

By /

The house of cards built on computer models and manipulated emotions is collapsing under the weight of a stubborn, inconvenient reality. The “climate emergency” exists only in the frantic press releases of a movement that knows it’s time is up.   For decades, activists have anchored their case in dramatic warnings about species extinction, melting ice

Global Warming Sustained a Naval Power That Dwarfed Vikings 

By /

Popular culture is full of gritty dramas about Norsemen shivering in fur pelts, launching raids on British monasteries, and navigating the icy fringes of the North Atlantic. Yet, while the Vikings were struggling to eke out a subsistence living on the thawing margins of Greenland, a far more sophisticated, wealthy, and powerful maritime colossus arose

Dismantlement of South Africa’s Ferrochrome Industry

By /

South Africa’s once dominant ferrochrome industry is on the brink of collapse and requires a government bailout. That decline is not because the world no longer needs ferrochrome. It is because South Africa’s leaders tied their industrial policy to a “green” agenda that undermines reliable, affordable energy and sacrifices economic strength.  What is happening in

Energy Transition Meltdown Could Mean Global Bifurcation 

By /

History will likely remember 2025 as the year energy corporatists finally stopped pretending there is a climate crisis. For a decade, a bizarre theater of the absurd played out as titans of the oil and gas industry apologized for their core business while pledging allegiance to a “green transition” that existed mostly in the imaginations
