China’s Coal Bi-Polarity Expedites the Death of the Paris Agreement

The Paris agreement’s nosedive has been expedited by the growing skepticism about man-made global warming.

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

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
