In today’s populist, racially-charged “social justice” movement in America, I see the shadows of the Cultural Revolution in Critical Race Theory (CRT), and in the ideology that inspired this movement. For those unfamiliar with CRT, it is the idea that American law, society, and institutions are inherently racist. Whites are born racist because of the cultural domination by White people in furthering their own economic and political power at the expense of “people of color.”—Lili Tang William … [Read more...]
Lethal Carbon-Imperialism in Glasgow and DC
Climate alarmists intend to keep poor nations energy-deprived, impoverished, jobless, dying Days before the twenty-sixth Conference of Parties in Glasgow, Scotland. Pope Francis and President Biden met in Rome to discuss “efforts grounded in respect for fundamental human dignity,” including “tackling the climate crisis and caring for the poor.” They should have read Climate Change: The Facts 2017 before they met, especially my chapter critiquing His Holiness’s energy and climate … [Read more...]
COP26 at Odds With Leaders of Nearly 40 Percent of World’s People, Likely to Fail
India alone is a huge thorn in the sides of the Glasgow glitterati. COP26—the current global gala gathering of climate elite—appears headed for a grand failure as key countries making up nearly 40 percent of the world’s population either spurn the meeting outright or act on the realities of their own circumstances. India has demanded from developed countries $100 billion a year in aid to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide as well as compensation for “loss and damage” from climate change … [Read more...]
Louisiana Religious Climate Activists Might Want to Check the Data
One can't help admiring the motives of many religious leaders alarmed about human-induced climate change. From the Pope to the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury to leaders of the Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish faiths, many express their angst that climate change is an "existential threat" to humanity, especially the poor, and to all life on Earth. But sometimes one wishes they would combine some knowledge of basic data with their good intentions. An AP story published today, "Faith … [Read more...]
Shocking News About Climate Change in America
I got this email today: I am a student at City of Glasgow College and as part of the Cop26 summit we have been tasked to find comments on how climate change has affected your life and your country. We are looking for around 50-100 words. My response will probably come as a shock: Hard data from IPCC and NOAA (not GCMs, which grossly exaggerate CO2’s warming and its consequences) show no increase in frequency or severity of extreme weather in America (or the world); increasing financial … [Read more...]
Climate Change: Ebb and Flow of the Tide
Emotional, agenda-driven politics confronts sound, evidence-based science The topic of global warming and climate change is far more scientifically complex than the public is led to believe. Myriads of newspaper, magazine and TV items over decades have tended to simplify the science to the point at which the general public believes that it is all so simple that any fool can see what is happening. Public groups often accuse world leaders and scientists of being fools, if they do not … [Read more...]
Climate Change Contributes to Another Year of Record Crop Production in India
One of the largest agricultural countries in the world, India, expects its highest summer crop production for 2021–2022. This comes at a critical juncture when energy shortage crippled food production in China. The record numbers will play a critical role in maintaining global food security. The record harvest also challenges claims that climate change will reduce global crop production. For example, the Observer Research Foundation—an organization that is partnered by Apple, Bill … [Read more...]
The Last COP-Out
For 26 futile years, the net-zero maniacs have wasted fuel, energy and taxpayer’s money to bite the hands that provide their food, energy, welfare and public sector jobs. Led by EU and AUKUS dreamers, they destroy reliable energy from coal, oil, nuclear, gas and hydro while forcing us to subsidise net-negative dreams like solar, wind, wave-power, CCUS, hot rocks, pumped hydro and hydrogen. All such speculative ventures should be funded by speculators, not taxpayers. COP-Out-26 illustrates … [Read more...]
Wind Industry: Exploitation of the Weak by the Powerful
Tucker Carlson’s new documentary Blown Away: The People vs Wind Power, first aired October 22. It’s a devastating critique of the wind-power industry. The politics, the economics, the energy reliability, the health impacts—these and more figure into Carlson’s analysis. The conclusion: wind power is bad for the environment, bad for the economy, bad for ordinary people, and good only for its owners, who benefit from tax subsidies that make an otherwise unprofitable industry highly profitable. … [Read more...]
Floods Bring Joy to Parched Tropical Lands
Floods are bad. Whether you are rich or poor, sudden floods can cause widespread damage to life and property. The impacts of Hurricane Katrina and Harvey still linger in the mind. During severe floods, families may lose property they’ve held for generations. In the worst cases they may lose family members. Farmers lose livestock, and businesses suffer long-lasting damage. Though insurance covers some losses, the damage has a lasting impact on livelihoods. But in parts of the world prone to … [Read more...]
