"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 with Sam … [Read more...]

Renewable Energy VS. Africa’s Renaissance

African Energy SituationAfricans are very nearly 1/6th of the world’s … [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. And, … [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.

“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 think … [Read more...]
The ‘Carbon Emissions’ Deception: No, Carbon Dioxide Is Not a Pollutant
Falsehoods always go down more smoothly when mixed with truths. And they’re probably the most credible when told by people who don’t know they’re false—the sincerity factor, you know.Well, the lead paragraph of a recent New York Times article is a model of just that:“The Trump administration on [June 19] replaced former President Barack Obama’s effort to reduce planet-warming pollution from coal plants with a new rule that would keep plants open longer and undercut progress on reducing … [Read more...]
Evangelicals aren’t ‘climate deniers’
The popular media claim that evangelical churches are climate deniers. They caricature them as anti-scientific and ignorant.Though many believe this to be a fact, the reality is far from it. Not only are these accusations false, they are illogical. Here is why.What is Climate Denialism?Before deciding on whether a church is a climate denier or not, it is critical to shed light on what it means to be a climate denier.Not long ago, the term “climate denier” was used to define someone who does not … [Read more...]
Pope’s climate policies would hurt the ones he loves
The Mills Brothers — and dozens of others — sang “You Always Hurt the One You Love.” Somebody tell the pope it doesn’t have to be that way with sensible energy policy.On June 14th, Pope Francis met with the executives of multi-national energy companies to promote schemes to mitigate what he says are the catastrophic effects of man-made global warming.Speaking to CEOs of Occidental Petroleum, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, British Petroleum and ConocoPhillips at the Vatican, the pope … [Read more...]
Why the U.S. Must Say No to Extreme Green Policies
The green policies of radical environmentalists and climate alarmists have been plaguing the fastest growing economies and even the established economic powerhouses of Europe.The U.S. has largely evaded the oppressive policies of radical environmentalism, thanks to the pro-development government.
