Notwithstanding vociferous criticism of the politicized use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by the Biden administration, such drawdowns have been employed for decades by Democratic and Republican administrations alike as an ad hoc and futile response to short-run increases in fuel prices. Unlike the case for all previous administrations, which viewed the domestic production of fossil fuels as a positive or at least … [Read more...]
With Winter Coming, Europe Is Walking Off a Cliff
The following is a guest article by Brenda Shaffer.Facing the worst energy crisis since World War II as the cold-weather heating season starts, Europe continues to dither. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has presented a series of new European Union energy policies, including planned price caps, additional taxes on energy producers, the establishment of a new European hydrogen bank, and new support for electric vehicles. European Union member states, meanwhile, … [Read more...]
Records Show Hurricanes Neither More Frequent Nor Severe
Whereas Hurricane Ian which devasted large areas of Florida was indisputably a monster storm, a basic review of history reveals that media hype connecting it to evidence of a recent “climate change disaster” is entirely unfounded.Having said this, let’s understand that no one, much less those of us who live in Houston and other areas along the Gulf Coast, need be reminded of widespread terror and tragedy which can be wrought by a single tropical storm or hurricane event.At the same time, let’s … [Read more...]
The Coming Green Electricity Nightmare
Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) wanted regulatory reform, in part to reverse some of the Biden Administration's reversals of Trump-era reforms intended to expedite permits for fossil fuel projects. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) needed Manchin’s vote in the 50-50 Senate to enact his latest spending extravaganza, the Inflation Reduction Act, which was primarily a massive climate and “green” energy subsidy arrangement. It gives Schumer allies some $370 billion in wind, solar, … [Read more...]
Hawaii’s Axis Deer Mismanagement is Causing an Ecological Disaster
The History of Axis Deer in HawaiiAs the 8-seat Mokulele Airlines plane approached the Molokai airport, I noticed the very overgrazed Molokai Ranch below. Surely, the ranch owners know better than to let their cattle overgraze like this. And besides, don’t they know cattle produce catastrophic levels of greenhouse gases? Why do they have so many cows? But wait, Molokai Ranch ceased most of its ranching operations back in 2008. The overgrazing was not from cattle, but deer. Thousands … [Read more...]
Here’s the Latest Climate Change Projection That Was Totally Wrong
This is a guest article by Matt Vespa.As if this is shocking news, the global warming Armageddon peddlers were wrong again. How many times have we heard that we’re all going to die if we don’t sacrifice economic growth to reduce global temperatures by an indiscernible amount? Democrats had a full-blown meltdown over the haggling about the latest spending bill when it seemed as if it were on life support. If we don’t pass the inflation reduction act, which quickly became a climate change … [Read more...]
Denying Access to Energy: The New Normal?
Whether it’s a hot Colorado summer or a cold United Kingdom winter, the misery of “green" policies becomes an everyday reality as hapless consumers are denied access to energy. When state lawmakers and energy providers choose to increase “renewable” technologies in their energy mix, the inevitable results are grid instability, power shortages, higher prices, and a whole lot of blackout-driven chaos.Is this the new normal that the governing elites of our world want us to embrace? Then we must … [Read more...]
India, China Emissions Make Mockery of Western Policies
Amidst the European energy crisis, it’s easy to miss other events that are of significance to the discussion about the climate-change movement.Among them are a series of setbacks to green policies in China and India.These countries — representing three billion people — have delayed the implementation of renewable energy commitments and aggressively increased the production and consumption of fossil fuels.At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, Chinese and Indian leaders — along with … [Read more...]
Fossil Fuels are the Greenest Energy Sources
This is a guest article by Indur M. GoklanyContrary to the claims of proponents of the Green New Deal and Net Zero, fossil fuels are the greenest fuels.First, uniquely among energy sources, fossil fuel use emits CO2, which is the ultimate source of the elemental building block, carbon, found in all carbon-based life, i.e., virtually all life on Earth.The increased amplitude of the seasonal cycle in atmospheric CO2 and satellite-borne instrumentation to measure solar-induced chlorophyll … [Read more...]
Arctic Ice at Decade-High Level: Can Doomsayers Explain?
With ice coverage for July and August remaining above the 10-year average of 2010-20, the extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic has surprised experts who once predicted that such levels would be impossible.This stands in stark contrast to the dominant climate narrative that predicts the dwindling of summer ice in the Arctic. Some politicians had even claimed that parts of the Arctic would be ice-free by now.With the seasonal Arctic melt technically over, it is fair to conclude that the extent … [Read more...]
