The green movement has done a great job of stymying the growth of nuclear power generation. That in itself creates an oxymoron. Nuclear is the only known technology to generate zero emission electricity on a continuous uninterruptable basis. With the success the green movement has had on nuclear, it’s now attracting big oil companies to invest huge sums into renewables - wind and solar. There are three main reasons for that kind of investment from “big oil” into renewables. First, … [Read more...]
“Test all things.” Even the Cornwall Alliance? Yes!
"Bombshell Claim: Scientists Find 'Man-made Climate Change Doesn't Exist in Practice'." That was the headline on an article at ZeroHedge.com sent to me a few days ago by a friend. Naturally I was intrigued. I read the article, then clicked through to the paper on which it reported: "No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change," by Finnish authors J. Kauippinen and P. Malmi, both of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Turku. Its … [Read more...]
Record High Temperatures in France: 3 Facts the Media Don’t Tell You
Editor’s Note: The article below is the clearest explanation I can remember having read of why global warming alarmists are mistaken to point to record high temperatures in various regions as evidence or confirmation of global warming (let alone of manmade global warming). Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer explains three causes of the recent heat wave in France (and Western Europe generally): (1) Record high temperatures occur without global warming, a fact demonstrated by the … [Read more...]
The “Freak” Guadalajara Hailstorm wasn’t So Freakish
Recent news events regarding heat waves, record high temperatures, and even yesterday’s hailstorm in Guadalajara, Mexico, are commonly presented as evidence of a changing climate system. The trouble is that making such an association is a stretch, at best, for a number of reasons. Today I’ll deal with the Guadalajara “freak” hailstorm, which is claimed to have “dumped up to 6 feet of ice” on portions of the city. The Mountains of Northwest Mexico are “Hail Central” The high elevations … [Read more...]
AOC’s Green New Deal Was Never About the Climate
"The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all." Obviously that must have been said by a critic the the Green New Deal, right? Wrong. The speaker went on to say: "Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.” The speaker was Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's (D-NY) chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti. He made it official a couple of months ago when he met … [Read more...]
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. However, the most significant threat to the agreement has come from countries that refuse to quench their addiction to coal. Among them is the largest consumer of coal: China. China’s continued defiance of the anti-coal establishment has dealt a lethal blow to the future prospects of the Paris agreement. Here are some key indicators from China which suggest that the chance … [Read more...]
Renewable Energy VS. Africa’s Renaissance
The African energy renaissance never happened. Most of the continent is still in the dark and far behind the rest of the world in energy production. Now, the challenges faced by Africa’s energy sector have only been complicated by European interests in climate policy-driven renewable energy. What will help Africa defeat energy poverty: glorified renewables or time-tested, dense, reliable conventional energies? African Energy Situation Africans are very nearly 1/6th of the … [Read more...]
The Elephant in the Room: Lack of Warming and the Eastern Coal Rampage
I’ve not seen the mainstream alarmist media in the U.S. questioning the on-going “coal boom” in the Eastern part of the world or defending America’s right to use fossil fuels. Instead, they’ve embarked on a climate scaremongering spree, gradually persuading the masses to embrace the lawmakers’ proposals for radical green policies that aim to reduce and even ban fossil fuel use. They justify this based on the supposed dangers of fossil fuels to the environment. … [Read more...]
With A Pinch Of Salt: Endless Failure Of Climate Doomsday Tales
On June 29, 2017, the Dailymail in UK ran an article headlined “Four years to save the Earth: 2020 is the deadline to avert climate catastrophe, experts claim in chilling commentary.” Two years later and halfway to deadline, the earth has not changed much. If anything, the El Niño of the 2016-17 season gave way for much cooler temperatures across the globe and the past two years have been colder than 2016. This is just one of the many climate doomsday news articles that gets … [Read more...]
“America’s Environmental Leadership”—An Oxymoron?
“America’s Environmental Leadership.” If you believe most media, most of the political class, much of academia, and certainly Hollywood stars (who of course are our intellectual betters), that phrase sounds oxymoronic. That’s how many people thought of it when President Donald Trump delivered remarks on “America’s Environmental Leadership” at a meeting in the White House Monday, July 8, which I attended. So, did the President, with several cabinet-level personnel, provide any reason to … [Read more...]
