As the presidential election nears, it is reasonable to ask why the U.S. continues to give away billions to “avert” a fabricated climate crisis to countries that have little interest in participating in the charade beyond accepting handouts. The United States has been a significant contributor to global climate initiatives, most notably through its involvement in the Paris Agreement. At the 15th U.N. Climate Conference in 2009, rich countries pledged to provide $100 billion a … [Read more...]
Banana Waste for Synfuels Has An Increasing Appeal
Scientists from the United Kingdom’s Northumbria University (located in historic Newcastle, once the center of the British coal industry) and their partners in Pakistan are converting banana waste into eco-friendly textiles and clean energy, according to Shubhangi Dua, writing in Interesting Engineering. According to the report, banana farming in Pakistan creates 80 million tons of agricultural waste that can be converted into 57,488 million cubic meters of syngas – enough to … [Read more...]
Electric Power vs. Green Goals
“The green movement calls for a shutdown of coal and gas power plants. At the same time, it demands a switch to electric vehicles, electric home appliances, and green hydrogen produced by power-intensive electrolyzers. This and the AI revolution portend a breakdown of the so-called energy transition.” Twenty-three states have adopted goals to move to 100 percent clean energy by 2050. State governments propose to retire coal- and gas-fired power plants and adopt wind and solar … [Read more...]
Fines for Honest Reporting Is Another French Obscenity
We have reached the end of the Olympic summer in Paris, comprising of the Olympics and the Paralympics. Though the U.S. finished at the top in the Olympics and in the top three at Paralympics, much of the world’s attention was on the Olympics’ obscene mockery of Christianity in its opening ceremony at Paris. It also overshadowed some unprecedented events in the city. A few days prior to the games, French authorities fined the country’s second most popular news channel 20,000 euros for … [Read more...]
Congress and Courts Enable Energy and Climate Fantasy and Tyranny
The left end of the political spectrum is relentlessly pursuing the transformation of America’s society, history, economy, speech, borders, governing systems, healthcare, energy and living standards. What it cannot secure via the ballot box and alliances with the legacy media and academic institutions, it works to impose through rule by unelected, unaccountable Executive Branch bureaucrats, collusive sue-and-settle legal actions, and court decisions that too often rubberstamp agency … [Read more...]
EU Farmers Protest Green Policies’ Threat to Greenest Lands
Europe’s picturesque landscapes, adorned with sprawling croplands and pastures, have long been part of the continent's agrarian identity. However, a wave of farmer protests has intruded on this peaceful scene and extended into cities. From the rolling hills of France to the windswept plains of Poland, farmers have driven their tractors onto the streets, united in a fight against a threat to their livelihoods. Last week, thousands of French farmers blocked roads in outskirts of Paris, … [Read more...]
Waging War on Modern Agriculture and Global Nutrition
The World Economic Forum says the world faces a new crisis, “One-third of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions come from food production.” With the world’s population expected to reach 10 billion people by 2050, it is therefore “urgent” that we launch a “radical” and “comprehensive” transformation of the global food system – from “reinventing” farming to “reimagining” how food is produced, processed, distributed, consumed and disposed of. Reinforcing this message, Stop Ecocide … [Read more...]
Emotions and Climate Change
The following is a guest article by Paul Schwennesen. One of the prime advantages of a graduate education is the opportunity it presents to witness firsthand the exquisitely facile handwringing that undergirds modern discourse. To attend a campus seminar today is to peer into the sensibilities of our age, a glimpse which reveals much of the impetus behind today’s culture wars. It is also, I’m afraid, a foretaste of what’s to come: conversations on campus are increasingly radical and will … [Read more...]
Is Nuclear the Tortoise to the Wind and Solar Hare?
Atlanta Journal-Constitution photojournalist Arvin Temkar claims, based on the 88-2 Senate vote on the ADVANCE Act, there is a “bipartisan consensus on nuclear power as an opportunity to keep pace with China on renewable energy.” Temkar was parroting Lesley Jantarasami, who directs energy programs at the Bipartisan Policy Center, spoken at “The Nuclear Frontier: Securing America’s Energy Future,” hosted by The Hill and sponsored by The Nuclear Company. Jantarasami said the … [Read more...]
Rising Runways, Sinking Narratives: Maldives Debunk Climate Fears
For decades, we’ve been told that island nations are on the brink of disappearing beneath the waves, their inhabitants destined to be victims of climate change’s catastrophic effects. Yet, developmental activity in some of these countries tells a different story. In recent years, the Maldives have embarked on an ambitious program of developing more than a dozen new airports, a move that seems to fly in the face of dire predictions about the country’s future. This contrast between an … [Read more...]
