Fires in the Amazon rainforest have been the topic of a global environmental scare. Some people blame climate change. They say it makes the burn rate worse than usual.

Are the “lungs of the earth” burning beyond repair?Not according to the data.The Amazon rainforest is close to my heart. An avid nature lover, I have spent much time in tropical rainforests.

Climate Fears Fail to Keep Coal at Bay
Despite heightened fears of climate crisis, the global coal market remains upbeat. India and China, two of the largest producers and consumers of coal, have ramped up their coal production and show no signs of slowdown.The United States, Australia, and Indonesia follow the big two, but their production and consumption levels are far less than China’s.Reports came in early August that there has been a surge in Chinese coal mine approvals. In the first half of 2019 alone, the government has … [Read more...]
How to Avoid Restrictive Climate Policies: Asian Giants Set the Example
With each passing year, nations are becoming sensitive to the fact that climate change is not as dangerous as it was believed to be.Crop yields continue to increase, life expectancy rates have gone up dramatically, and more importantly the temperature levels failed to follow the lead of carbon dioxide emissions.As a result, and the responsibility to meet growing domestic energy demands, countries are finding new ways to bypass the climate pressure from international … [Read more...]
Renewable Failure and Renewable Threats to Wildlife Become a Global Norm
As the Paris climate agreement pushes for more and more renewable installments globally, reports of failure of installed renewables, especially wind and solar, are also becoming increasingly common.Nobody wishes for wind and solar to fail. After all, billions of dollars have been invested in them. I, like many others, desire to see renewables strengthen the existing energy infrastructure globally.Sadly, and inevitably, though, the drawbacks and limitations of wind and solar keep resurfacing, no … [Read more...]
Expensive climate change programs hurt the poor most
A new study confirms what conservatives have long suspected: Expensive climate change programs, such as the Green New Deal, would hurt the poor the most.Researchers from the Euro-Mediterranean Center for Climate Change estimate that if every country participating in the Paris climate accord actually fulfilled its greenhouse gas emission reduction pledges, more than 3 million people will be pushed into poverty. That’s on top of the 1 billion people around the world who still don’t … [Read more...]
A Sad Tale of a Wealthy Millennial’s Moral Confusion
This article was originally published in the American Spectator where it remained in the top 5 articles read multiple days in a row.A few years back my wife heard a young woman share that she had felt guilty for being able to go out to dinner with friends in Chicago because she knew her mother, in South Africa, was struggling to scrape together her own supper.When she had told her mother this during a phone call, her mother had rebuked her. “How dare you spit in God’s face!”Instead, … [Read more...]
Climate Alarmists in Denial about “97% Consensus”
Dana Nuccitelli, than whom it would be difficult to find a more strident or persistent advocate of global warming alarmism, is upset (as usual).Why?He is shocked---shocked!---to find that "Millions of times later, 97 percent climate consensus still faces denial." Some people, despite having been castigated for it for over a decade, continue to "deny" that there is a "97% consensus" about manmade global warming.The spur for his latest tantrum, published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, … [Read more...]
Green Is the New Black: But What Does ‘Going Green’ Really Mean?

El Paso Shooter’s Extreme Environmentalism Deserves Condemnation
The manifesto that the El Paso shooter posted before his deadly rampage reveals that, along with hate for immigrants, he held a radicalized view of mankind’s relationship to nature. The manifesto itself was titled “The Inconvenient Truth About Me,” an apparent homage to the many false narratives presented in Al Gore’s climate “documentary.” The first two sentences pretty much sum up the four-page screed: “In general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto. This attack is a … [Read more...]
Fighting Malaria with DDT and Infertile Mosquitoes: You Can Help!
Dear Friends:What time is it? Take a look and see for sure. I’ll tell you later why.About a decade ago one of my sons, just turned nineteen, spent eight months assisting Christian missionaries in Ethiopia and Uganda. He saw how some of the world’s poorest people suffer—yet also how they can experience joy through knowing Christ. He actually saw a witch doctor converted. He saw people healed of terrible diseases by medical missionaries, children learning to read and write in mission schools, … [Read more...]
