The Paris agreement’s nosedive has been expedited by the growing skepticism about man-made global warming. However, the most significant threat to the agreement has come from countries that refuse to quench their addiction to coal. Among them is the largest consumer of coal: China. China’s continued defiance of the anti-coal establishment has dealt a lethal blow to the future prospects of the Paris agreement. Here are some key indicators from China which suggest that the chance … [Read more...]
Renewable Energy VS. Africa’s Renaissance
The African energy renaissance never happened. Most of the continent is still in the dark and far behind the rest of the world in energy production. Now, the challenges faced by Africa’s energy sector have only been complicated by European interests in climate policy-driven renewable energy. What will help Africa defeat energy poverty: glorified renewables or time-tested, dense, reliable conventional energies? African Energy Situation Africans are very nearly 1/6th of the … [Read more...]
The Elephant in the Room: Lack of Warming and the Eastern Coal Rampage
I’ve not seen the mainstream alarmist media in the U.S. questioning the on-going “coal boom” in the Eastern part of the world or defending America’s right to use fossil fuels. Instead, they’ve embarked on a climate scaremongering spree, gradually persuading the masses to embrace the lawmakers’ proposals for radical green policies that aim to reduce and even ban fossil fuel use. They justify this based on the supposed dangers of fossil fuels to the environment. … [Read more...]
With A Pinch Of Salt: Endless Failure Of Climate Doomsday Tales
On June 29, 2017, the Dailymail in UK ran an article headlined “Four years to save the Earth: 2020 is the deadline to avert climate catastrophe, experts claim in chilling commentary.” Two years later and halfway to deadline, the earth has not changed much. If anything, the El Niño of the 2016-17 season gave way for much cooler temperatures across the globe and the past two years have been colder than 2016. This is just one of the many climate doomsday news articles that gets … [Read more...]
Evangelicals aren’t ‘climate deniers’
The popular media claim that evangelical churches are climate deniers. They caricature them as anti-scientific and ignorant. Though many believe this to be a fact, the reality is far from it. Not only are these accusations false, they are illogical. Here is why. What is Climate Denialism? Before deciding on whether a church is a climate denier or not, it is critical to shed light on what it means to be a climate denier. Not long ago, the term “climate denier” was used to define … [Read more...]
Why the U.S. Must Say No to Extreme Green Policies
The green policies of radical environmentalists and climate alarmists have been plaguing the fastest growing economies and even the established economic powerhouses of Europe.The U.S. has largely evaded the oppressive policies of radical environmentalism, thanks to the pro-development government. However, lawmakers in Congress are becoming increasingly vocal about adopting radical green policies. Citizens should be wary about the dangers of policies that have crippled other economies across … [Read more...]
No Signs of Slowdown: Australia Approves Country’s Biggest Coal Project
Even as the American media were busy covering the news about Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren’s endorsement of fossil fuel phaseout, other countries across the Pacific embraced fossil fuels in an unprecedented manner. In a big move, Australia’s Queensland province has given the green light to the Adani group’s billion-dollar Carmichael coal mine project. The Queensland Government’s Department of Environment and Science sent the official communique detailing the final environmental … [Read more...]
Cooling Mayhem in May: Nature Continues to Dispel Myth of Inexorable Warming
After a colder than usual 2018, climate alarmists predicted a hot 2019, bearing all the trademarks of extreme man-made global warming. But temperatures this year have been largely normal and, in some places, continue to be below average. Here’s a look at the first five months of the year, especially May, and what they mean for the continuing debate on the supposed dangers of climate change. El Niño—a phenomenon where periodic oscillations cause the sea surface temperatures in the tropical … [Read more...]
Battling Thunderstorms and Darkness in a Developing Country
It is the middle of summer here in Southern India. The heat and wind are working together to give sharp spells of thunderstorms in the interiors, while coastal cities remain largely dry. Rain is good. All our cities are highly dependent on monsoon rains, and the pre-monsoon rains are more than welcome. However, not all things work well with rain. Thunderstorms cause regular power interruptions of at least 5 hours a day between 3 and 11 pm in my city, Bangalore. On one particular evening … [Read more...]
Bullying a Generation into Climate Groupthink
A school girl in Sweden was allegedly bullied and branded a “climate denier” by her teachers and peers after she refused to participate in the “climate strike.” Responding to the unfair and abusive treatment of her daughter, the mother of the school girl said, “If you do not hang out on Greta Thunberg and for the climate then you should be singled out and bullied……They should at least be neutral and respect the students who do not want to skip school. There must be different ways we can … [Read more...]
