The world is on fire, and not in the way climate alarmists would have you believe. For years, governments of wealthy democracies sold the fantasy that wind turbines and solar panels could replace coal, oil and natural gas. Now, with war in Eastern Europe, explosions in the Middle East, and the global oil market once

The world would be safer if industrial emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) were stopped, according to the teachings of many schools, the regulatory schemes of some governments and the hyperbolic public relations campaigns of a climate industrial complex. But the truth is happier: CO2 is an irreplaceable plant food that is increasing. Carbon dioxide – the

In an increasingly electricity-hungry world, nuclear power stands out as a cornerstone for sustainable economic growth, particularly for developing economies like South Africa. This article examines the economic rationale behind the adoption of nuclear power for electricity, with a focus on the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) and Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technologies as catalysts

The following is a guest article by Charles Rotter. Abstract Rivers and streams are an important pathway in the global carbon cycle, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) from their water surfaces to the atmosphere1,2. Until now, CO2 and CH4 emitted from rivers were thought to be predominantly derived from recent (sub-decadal) biomass production and, thus,

The Trump administration’s effort to cut federal spending has raised alarms at Meals on Wheels America, which says that funding through the Older Americans Act (OAA) was already not keeping pace with the rapid growth in the senior population — and with costs that rose dramatically in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Yuxi Circle holds 4.3 billion people and no illusions about how modern life works. Fossil fuels still power the path out of poverty. The ruling class trades in carbon outrage like it’s gold. Sanctimony fuels its crusade against oil, gas, and coal — never mind that those very fuels built the modern world. The

A colleague of mine, Chris Talgo, recently penned an op-ed titled “Windmills and Solar Panels Aren’t Ready for Prime Time,” a title similar to my own from CCW 462, “Green Technologies Are Dangerous, Not Ready for Prime Time.” Both articles, and others I have written periodically across the past couple of decades, make the point

The following is a guest article by Russell Cook. From all the news of ‘raging wildfires’ / ‘melting glaciers / ‘increasingly extreme weather’ / ‘hottest month ever recorded,’ it’s no surprise how that morphs into news of ‘climate anxiety’ affecting youths ranging from children to young college students. Supposedly well-intentioned journalists then add articles to their repertoire about ‘coping with the climate crisis.’ On top of
