Guest column by Robert L. Bradley Jr. “Climate modeling is central to climate science….” (Stephen Koonin, below)When the history of climate modeling comes to be written in some distant future, the major story may well be how the easy, computable answer turned out to be the wrong one, resulting in overestimated warming and false scares from the enhanced (man-made) greenhouse effect. Meanwhile, empirical and theoretical evidence is mounting toward this game-changing verdict despite the best … [Read more...]
Energy Poverty Kills
Guest column by Alex EpsteinLast week we looked at the need for a process of producing energy that is cheap, plentiful, and reliable—and we saw that solar and wind cannot produce cheap, reliable energy.How Germany embraced solar and wind and ended up in energy povertyLet’s take a look at this in practice. Germany is considered by some to be the best success story in the world of effective solar and wind use, and you’ll often hear that they get a large percentage of their energy from solar and … [Read more...]
Against Environmental Anti-Humanism
Guest column by Marian TupyOn April 25, British Vogue published an article titled “Is Having a Baby in 2021 Pure Environmental Vandalism?” The author, Nell Frizzell, “worried about the sort of world” that she would bring her “child into — where we have perhaps just another 60 harvests left before our overworked soil gives out.” In the end, she decided to have a son and teach him to live within humanity’s “environmental means” and free of “the fever of consumerism.”Frizzell is not … [Read more...]
Beyond Industries: Why Half a Billion Other Indians Need Fossil Fuels
India’s population is nearing 1.4 billion and plays an important role in the global economy. Industry, employing about three-fifths of the Indian workforce, and agriculture, employing the other two-fifths, are the twin engines of India’s soaring economy.Both sectors depend on fossil fuels, and the demand for fossil fuels in India is unlikely to diminish anytime soon. The agricultural sector in particular is completely dependent on fossil fuel-based crop enhancement systems.Indian agriculture … [Read more...]
Gates’s How to Avoid a Climate Crisis—Big Project on Shaky Foundation
Review of Bill Gates, How to Avoid a Climate Crisis: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need (New York, Alfred A Knopf, 2021)For everyone convinced that the world is on the verge of a climate disaster Bill Gates has written a sobering, well reasoned account of what it would take to eliminate that threat. Rather than just talk about somehow lowering greenhouse gases by a finite percent such as the goal of the Paris Accord, Gates widens the conversation. Reasoning that all … [Read more...]
Green Energy Policies Are Built On Slavery, Child Labor
Democrats were the party of slavery before they were against it. Now they are the party of slavery again. They also support child labor and green colonialism. Check the record.Asians and Africans, many of them children, are being enslaved and are dying in mines, refineries, and factories to obtain the minerals and metals required for the green energy technologies Democrats are mandating. The politicians and their supporters don’t seem to care. Democrats’ traditional calls for the recognition of … [Read more...]
International Energy Agency’s Green energy fantasy is a hoot
Looking for laughs? The International Energy Agency has produced a laugh filled report, grandly titled: “Net Zero by 2050: A roadmap for the global energy system“. Redesigning the global energy system. My, oh my. Below are a few highlights, out of many.To begin with it is not a roadmap, as it does not tell us how to get there. In fact you cannot get there from here, which makes their there very amusing. This is perhaps the most elaborate net zero … [Read more...]
Video: Remember the Past, or Be Condemned to Repeat it
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” wrote the philosopher George Santayana in 1905 in The Life of Reason, part of a series on Great Ideas of Western Man. The interwoven “woke”/social justice/critical race theory/anti-racism movement of our day seems determined to wipe out America’s and Western Civilization’s (once called Christendom) past. If it succeeds, we shall indeed be condemned to repeat it—complete with its nearly universal evils of slavery, oppressive … [Read more...]
When Will the Cold Go Away? Disappointed Public Wakes Up to Climate Reality
Many regions in the Northern Hemisphere are experiencing relatively colder spring conditions.The residents of New Delhi, India, were particularly miffed at the apparent lack of Delhi’s infamous summer heat waves and excruciatingly hot weather. In fact, the temperatures dropped to a 70-year low last week when the city received unusually heavy rainfall.Surprised at the turn of events, one of my friends messaged me, “When will the cold go away...? Why is it so cold at this time of the year?”The … [Read more...]
India speeds up fossil-fuelled economy, despite Net Zero noises
India, the world’s third biggest oil importer, is now on a mission to diversify its oil imports and look beyond the Middle East. For the first time, oil processors and buyers in India are buying oil from Guyana and Brazil.The decision comes at a time where India is facing a complex energy situation which is dominated by rising domestic oil prices and mainstream media’s pressure to make India join the Net Zero bandwagon. India, it appears, is increasingly aiming for a fossil-fuel dominated … [Read more...]
