Whether living in the United States or in a European country, there is a greater chance of wearing a garment made in Bangladesh than in one’s homeland. However, the south Asian country’s dominance in the manufacture of clothing is being threatened by a “green” agenda undermining the power supply. With availability of cheap labor and plentiful raw materials, Bangladesh is the world’s second biggest garment exporter and trails only China, having surged ahead of other Asian competitors such as … [Read more...]
An Unusually Warm Year or Two Cannot Be Blamed on Climate Change
That title might trigger some people, so let me explain. Yes, in a warming world due to increasing CO2 there will be a statistical increase in “unusually warm” years. But assuming the warming is entirely due to steadily increasing CO2 causing a slight (currently ~1%) energy imbalance in the climate system, then the warming that results is about ~0.02 deg. C per year.Anything different from that small 0.02 deg. C per year warming is due to natural climate variability.This can be easily … [Read more...]
World’s Most Populous Nation Has Put Solar Out To Pasture. Other Countries Should Follow Suit
During his debate with former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden claimed: “The only existential threat to humanity is climate change.” What if I told you that it is not climate change but climate policies that are the real existential threat to billions across our planet?The allure of a green utopia masks the harsh realities of providing affordable and reliable electricity. Americans could soon wake up to a dystopian future if the proposed Net Zero and Build Back … [Read more...]
“Green” Activists Menace Humanity
A swirl of tomato soup engulfs Van Gogh's vibrant “Sunflowers.” Mashed potatoes mar Monet's serene “Water Lilies.” Across the globe, priceless artworks endure desecration in the name of climate activism. On a recent weekend, so-called eco-activists threw yellow soup on the “Mona Lisa” at Paris’s Louvre Museum. These acts are a vile destruction of beauty in the name of a dangerous worldview. Peaceful protest of injustice is an important aspect of our civilization. Be it the civil rights movement … [Read more...]
The Real Human Cost of “Green” Initiatives
Almost half the world — over three billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day, and billions live with little to no access to electricity, like those in places like Africa, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. This is complicated by the hypocritical “green” agendas of leaders in the few wealthier developed economies that have benefited from the more than 6,000 products made from fossil fuels since the beginning of the industrial era. Wealthy countries desiring to pursue their … [Read more...]
Natural Gas Fuels Prosperity of Canadian First Nations Communities
Obsessed with the faux climate crisis, the Canadian government in Ottawa seemingly discounts altogether the social and economic benefits of natural gas to First Nations communities of the country’s western region. Approximately 5% of the world's gas comes from Canada, mainly from the vast Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin underlying several provinces, including British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. In 2023, the country ranked fifth in global production behind the U.S., Russia, Iran … [Read more...]
Climate Policy Should Not Be Used To Determine Limits on Hospital Emissions
The turbulence that caused a Singapore Airlines flight to drop 6,000 feet in minutes was blamed on climate change by the hysterical media. Having killed a passenger and injured more than 70 others, the incident was one of the worst of its kind and indeed tragic. However, the connection to supposed man-made changes to the atmosphere is the fearmongering of opportunistic doomsayers.This irresponsible promotion of an absurd climate scare is more dangerous than falling airplanes because it affects … [Read more...]
Counterpoint: Fossil Fuels Help the Environment
One of the biggest pushbacks to economic development today is the claim that growth destroys nature. Radical organizations like Extinction Rebellion label capitalism and agriculture as evil. The fossil-fuel industry in particular and industrialization in general are blamed for the loss of ecosystems and habitats. Mainstream media make dramatic claims that wildlife populations are in free fall worldwide, driven by human overconsumption, population growth and intensive agriculture.But wildlife … [Read more...]
Tiger Populations Depend on Conservation, Not Climate Management
Radical organizations such as Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion routinely blame the fossil fuel industry and rapid industrialization for damaging ecosystems. One such claim is that climate change is killing polar bears and myriad other species. “Climate change could wipe out one of world’s largest tiger strongholds,” claimed a headline at EarthDay.org. But how true are these assertions? As an apex predator and keystone species, tigers play a crucial role in maintaining the … [Read more...]
Brazil’s Economic Future Hinges on Fossil Fuels
Brazil’s prosperity hinges on its capacity to harness the foundational element of any economy: energy. However, for millions of Brazilians, the path to economic advancement is complicated by the hypocritical “green” agendas of leaders in developed economies that have benefited from fossil fuels since the beginning of the industrial era. As an Indian and someone with shared developmental interests in the BRICS economic bloc, I have been gratified by the hydrocarbon-driven growth of India to a … [Read more...]
