For years, sensible voices outside the climate establishment warned that a future free of fossil fuels was physically impossible. As energy sources and as feedstocks, oil, natural gas, and coal are the foundation of modern civilization. Hardly any product – whether the fertilizer that makes possible food for billions or the plastics for medical devices, […]

Watch out, world — here comes the God-spin on climate change inspired by the UN’s 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30). COP30 wrapped up last month with an offering of the usual suspects: socialist solutions for acolytes to advocate. According to UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell, during the “high-level closing event at COP30 in Belém, Brazil,

A federal rule mandating the use of certain refrigerants has substantially boosted the price of air conditioning and increased the risk of fire – only to reduce global temperature by an amount too small to measure.

Yet, these violent conflicts, as horrific as they are, only mirror the silent wars raging within many of our own hearts — wars of despair, doubt, and desperation. Deep within, I carry a deep sorrow for the struggling people of Africa and Asia who remain trapped

A little while back, I did a podcast on the greenhouse effect. It seems that the most controversial thing I have ever said is “Carbon Dioxide contributes very little to the Greenhouse Effect.” That singular statement usually gets me labelled as either a scientific illiterate or a stooge of climate alarmists. And those are the

Electricity prices are rising, and Democrats are making it a campaign issue. They blame the price hike on President Trump and congressional Republicans, who ended Biden-era renewable-energy subsidies in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
