The following is a guest article by Dr. Lee Gerhard.Climate scientists would be less likely to issue dire warnings of planetary doom if only they gave more credence to the geological history of the past several million years. Instead, they rely on computer models that are biased by the preconceptions of their manipulators and incapable of accounting for the myriad factors influencing global temperatures. Minuscule recent warming, whatever the cause, is inconsequential noise in light of the … [Read more...]
A Green Embargo Could Cause a Recession
In 1973, the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) imposed an oil embargo against the United States, triggering a crude oil crisis that sent the U.S. economy into a recession. Move over OPEC. Today, the “green” transition to unreliable electricity from wind and solar has the world on the cusp of a Chinese green embargo that may trigger a financial crisis that could send the U.S. economy into a recession. 50 years ago, in the aftermath of the 1973 oil crisis in … [Read more...]
The Age of Underpopulation is Here
The age of overpopulation is over. The age of underpopulation is here. After decades of warnings and fear about an overpopulation crisis, population is now rapidly declining in most of the world. The overpopulation disaster predicted by world elites did not occur.Total fertility rate is the average number of children born per woman. Demographers tell us that a country's fertility rate must be at least 2.1 children per woman to sustain the current level of population.According to data from the … [Read more...]
The Looming Electricity Shortage
People in developed nations take abundant electricity for granted. When asked where electricity comes from, most will point to their wall outlet. But many states in the U.S. are headed for a serious and prolonged shortage of electrical power not seen in decades, driven by rising demand from the artificial intelligence revolution and mandates to adopt green energy.For 20 years, U.S. electrical power policy has been dominated by efforts to try to “mitigate” global warming, believed to be caused by … [Read more...]
Asia Embraces Coal as the U.S. Rejects It
Vietnam and other Asian countries are on a coal spree! Given the dynamics of energy use in the rapidly developing industrial sector there, it is no surprise that these nations have backpedaled on big promises made at international climate conferences to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels. Vietnam's projected 2024 growth rate for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) stands at 5.8%, the sixth highest in Asia. Among the biggest contributors to GDP is the industrial sector (38 percent), … [Read more...]
The Cost of EPA’s Senseless CO2 Capture
The following is a guest article by Frits Byron Soepyan.In April 24, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) passed a new rule that would require coal power plants that plan to continue operating after January 1, 2039, and new natural gas power plants that plan to begin operation on or after 2035 to capture at least 90% of their CO2 emissions.How much would this cost? And is it worth it?Well, as they say, we ran the numbers. Thankfully, researchers from the National Energy … [Read more...]
Climate Alarmism Confronts Actual Science
The purveyors of climate doom will not tolerate the good news of our planet thriving because of modest warming and increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, a recent scientific paper concludes that an optimistic vision for Earth and its inhabitants is nonetheless justified. Widely accepted data show an overall greening of Earth resulting from a cycle of natural warming that began more than 300 years ago and from industrialization’s additions of CO2 that started in the 19th century and … [Read more...]
Pennsylvania’s Gov. Shapiro’s Misguided Attempt to Cure a Very Healthy Climate
Somebody should tell Gov. Shapiro that his state of Pennsylvania is doing very well environmentally. Overall, the weather has been getting better and agricultural production is up.Nevertheless, he repeatedly attacks the producers and users of energy to address a supposed climate crisis. His administration is trying to keep Pennsylvania trapped in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which the Commonwealth Court ruled an illegal tax. Recently, he proposed a new energy … [Read more...]
NOAA Permits Wind Energy Operators to Harass and Kill Whales
Wind energy is clean and green. It is the magic switch to turn off global heating. And unicorns are real. You may name your most cherished illusion among those three if you please. But it will not change the fact that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and wind energy companies are complicit in a state-sanctioned, modern-day butchery of marine mammals along the U.S. East Coast.NOAA-issued permits allow each operator of wind turbines to kill or harass 100s of whales … [Read more...]
Climate Change Is Normal and Natural, and Can’t Be Controlled
The following is a guest article by Frits Byron Soepyan.NASA claimed that “Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate” and “human activity is the principal cause.” Others proposed spending trillions of dollars to control the climate. But are we humans responsible for climate change? And what can we do about it?“The climate of planet Earth has never stopped changing since the Earth’s genesis, sometimes relatively rapidly, sometimes very slowly, but always surely,” says Patrick … [Read more...]
