Recent population numbers suggest that the tiger is making a comeback. Tiger populations in two of Thailand’s wildlife sanctuaries grew from 42 in 2012 to about 100 in 2022. The resurgence is one more conservation success story that defies the climate-obsessed mainstream media's doomsday narrative, which has been blaming … [Read more...]
Indonesia Shelves Decarbonization for Prosperity and Security
Over the past few decades, Indonesia, an archipelagic nation made up of over 17,000 islands, has seen amazing economic progress. The strategic utilization of fossil fuels is a key factor at the center of this growth. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash Indonesia is a significant user of coal and the world’s third-largest producer of the mineral. But just like other countries, it faces immense pressure from entities like the United Nations and anti-fossil fuel leaders in the West … [Read more...]
The Untold Story of Climate’s Holocene Gift to Humanity
News reports of summer heatwaves often perversely misrepresent a modern climate favorable to human flourishing in order to fearmonger the false narrative of catastrophic global warming. The geological epoch of the Holocene, which roughly corresponds to the last 11,700 years, is a time of warmth that has been vital in fostering the diversity and adaptability of life on our planet – not a curse as popularly portrayed. The relevance of the Holocene interglacial period to humanity’s survival … [Read more...]
India’s Record Aircraft Orders Ignore Climate Goals
Indian low-cost carrier IndiGo recently made headlines with its record-breaking order of Airbus passenger jets. The deal, worth an estimated $50 billion, is the largest single order in Airbus history. While the order for 500 of the A320neo aircraft is a major coup for Airbus, it is being termed a “setback” for climate action. It is worth noting that Air India, another large carrier, recently placed orders totaling $70 billion in retail value for 470 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing, including … [Read more...]
Why GMO Food Crops Are a Blessing From God
Some Christians argue that Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are unsafe because they are unnatural. I'd like to challenge that thinking. I think every Christian should welcome genetically modified (GM) crops as God's gift to the world – especially to the poor. Here are some reasons to welcome GM crops in our quest to end hunger and poverty. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash The godly beginnings of plant genetics Humans, using our God-inspired ingenuity, have been modifying … [Read more...]
“Green” Energy Threatens South Korea’s Economy
Ranked 12th in per capita energy consumption in 2021, South Korea uses more than three times the global average. The country's industrial sector accounts for 40 percent of total energy consumption. Particularly energy-intensive are large industrial cities such as Ulsan and Gwangyang, home to what claims to be the world’s largest steel manufacturing plant. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash However, the country’s booming economy is now bracing to meet the impact of recently … [Read more...]
Media Ignore Delhi’s Coldest May Since 1901
On May 4, India’s capital of New Delhi recorded the third coldest May morning since 1901. At 16 degree Celsius (60 Fahrenheit), the region’s 32 million residents woke up to a relatively cold morning in what is usually the hottest month of the year. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash So why is there a record low temperature when the dominant mainstream narrative tells us climate change has warmed our environment? Is this just an aberration? While Western media obsessed over the … [Read more...]
Merchants of Misinformation: The Church’s Challenge in An Age of Climate Falsehood
For centuries, the church has influenced our world in a positive way. Christians have been at the forefront of scientific discoveries and are well-known for their charities worldwide. In fact, the very hospital that I access in India was built by faithful Christians from a faraway land and my wife was educated at a school built by Christians. Not surprisingly, and as it often happens in history, the church is now in the midst of culture-driven confusion. A confusion about meaning, … [Read more...]
Nearly a Billion Indians Use Coal to Cope with Heat Waves.
India’s unconstrained use of coal for electricity generation is helping 1.4 billion people adapt to intense heat waves that registered 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) on thermometers. However, I’ve not seen a single story from the mainstream media highlighting why coal is essential to the comfort – and even survival – of people in my country. Instead, reporters bemoan how India’s use of “dirty” coal in the midst of oppressive heat frustrates the country’s “decarbonization.” It cannot be … [Read more...]
Nuclear Energy is a Game Changer, But Not For Climate Reasons!
Nuclear energy offers humanity the safest, most efficient approach to harnessing natural resources for its use. As the densest energy source available, nuclear fuel requires the least amount of material and land for electricity production. This is a sufficient reason to support the technology. Yet, some promote it as a means to address a manufactured climate emergency – worse yet, as a mere stop-gap in a transition to weather-dependent wind turbines and solar panels. Presenting nuclear … [Read more...]
