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 Gates, Uber, … [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 to the … [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. Major … [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 long … [Read more...]
‘They need to breed less’: the darkness of climate zealotry
In this age of green craze, the most likely response to legitimate concerns about the lack of access to energy for the world's poor is advocacy for so-called renewable technologies such as wind turbines and solar panels.As embarrassing as that suggestion should be to the advocates of such unreliable and impractical energy sources, there are sometimes even more cringe-worthy replies that verge on the inhumane. A recent tweet of mine prompted one such response.The tweet was directed to attendees … [Read more...]
Global Warming Alarmism Threatens Era of Energy Poverty
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call for aggressive action against a so-called climate crisis at the United Nations presages similar statements that surely will be made by the dangerously misinformed in the coming months and augurs disastrous energy policy.Humanity has to “grow up” and tackle climate change, the prime minister told world leaders assembled in New York, predicting catastrophe if warnings are ignored.“We will see desertification, drought, crop failure, and mass … [Read more...]
In This Year’s Cool, Summery India, No Signs of Global Warming at All
The onset of spring has always been a welcome event, especially for people in parts of the world where winters are cold and severe. Poets talk about it and various socio-cultural events are organized to mark the season of rising temperatures and rebirth. One example is Easter.However, in the hot tropical country of India, it would be surprising if I told you that there are millions of people praying for warmth this year, even before the winter season!In a direct contradiction of doomsday … [Read more...]
Coal Shortages Threaten Blackouts for 2.7 Billion Chinese and Indians
Coal shortages have struck two of the world’s biggest energy consumers, threatening power outages for 2.7 billion people and raising prices for the fossil fuel to unprecedented levels. In China, factories are shut, homes remain in darkness, and chaos ensues on roads where traffic lights fail. Coal plants that supply neighboring India with 70% of its electricity are on the brink of running out of fuel, triggering an emergency call to the government for … [Read more...]
“Green” Europe Looks to Coal Again
In 1862 we got the Gettysburg Address, in 1941 it was Roosevelt’s Day of Infamy and in 1983 it was Ronald Reagan’s Evil Empire speech. This year it appears we’ll have to settle for Greta Thunberg’s “Blah, Blah, Blah!” keynote speech at the youth climate summit in Milan.As bad as it was on the merits, it certainly suffers from bad timing. Europe has just started paying a huge price in part for caving in on the sorts of environmentalist demands that Miss Thunberg … [Read more...]
Is Pollution a Sin? How Many Americans Does Air Pollution Kill?
Email from a subscriber:1.) Is pollution a sin or is it just unavoidable in our lives? How many things actually “pollute?” I struggle to say that pollution is a sin (as I’ve read from others) because there are many in the world who can’t afford the technologies that we have and I don’t think they’re sinning because they can’t afford cleaner technologies. Also, I see in John 21 that Jesus makes a charcoal fire in order to make breakfast for his disciples. I don’t really know anything about … [Read more...]
