For many across the world, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to exit the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) is a sign that central banks can refocus on their primary mandates: stabilizing economies, controlling inflation and fostering growth.Developing nations that need financial backing for the development of fossil fuel projects to advance economic development hopefully can look forward to a reversal of the vacuous injection of a climate change agenda into monetary policy. This … [Read more...]
Study Destroys Basis of EPA Climate Regulations—No Starvation Driven by Climate Change
For two decades, the public has been bombarded with dire warnings of an impending climate-induced agricultural apocalypse. The claim is that a climate warmed excessively by the carbon dioxide emissions of human activity will ravage the food supply and plunge humanity into famine and chaos.For many reasons, none of this ever made sense. Now, a new study published in Scientific Reports, has turned this narrative of catastrophe on its head, revealing that a global temperature rise of even 5 degrees … [Read more...]
NOAA’s Homogenized Temperature Records: A Statistical House of Cards?
Guest column by Charles RotterFor years, climate scientists have assured us that NOAA's homogenized temperature datasets---particularly the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN)---are the gold standard for tracking global warming. But what if the "corrections" applied to these datasets are introducing more noise than the signal? A recent study published in Atmosphere has uncovered shocking inconsistencies in NOAA's adjustments, raising serious concerns about the reliability of homogenized … [Read more...]

Mann vs Science: Science Wins!
Mark Steyn (l) and Michael Mann (r), adapted from Wikipedia, licensed under CC BY 2.0 and CC BY-SA 4.0.The public perception is that Dr. Michael Mann has become the standard bearer of climate change. After all, he invented the climate hockey stick idea, which has been relentlessly seared into the public’s consciousness by a complicit lamestream media. In effect, his graph has arguably been the premier example of real Science having been taken over by political science. It appears that this has … [Read more...]
What to Think About Tariffs
Tariffs, tariffs, tariffs! Seems like nothing gets more discussion in America right now than tariffs. Some folks are agin’ ’em, others are for ’em. What do you think?Just short of two months into the new administration of President Donald Trump, many economic experts, pointing to the 9 percent drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average since its high on January 30, and similar declines in other indexes, are warning that America now has a 50/50 chance of falling into a recession. A major reason is … [Read more...]
From Paris to Permian, Trump Restoring Rational Energy Policy

But the opposite is the truth.What we’re witnessing isn’t a denial of science or a retreat from reality. It’s a bold, pragmatic recalibration – one rooted in economic foresight, scientific clarity, and a … [Read more...]

Lou Veiga, Pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Houston, TX.“Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them.” (Psa 111:2 ESV)The Church has always regarded the revelation from God as consisting of two books. The first is God’s book of general revelation, which comes from God to us in and through creation. In the book of creation, God reveals his eternal … [Read more...]
Hey, EPA, Why Not Regulate Water Vapor Emissions While You Are At It?
Some BackgroundI will admit that the legal profession mystifies me. Every time I say anything related to environmental law, one or more lawyers will correct me. But I suppose “turnabout is fair play”, since I will usually correct any lawyers about their details describing climate change science.Lawyers aren’t like us normal people. Their brains work differently. I first suspected this when one of my daughters took the LSAT and gave me examples of questions, most of which my brain was not wired … [Read more...]
