Most, if not all, individuals encountered daily in my native country of India appear to have adopted the media’s narrative of a climate crisis. Of course, individuals with demanding schedules often lack the time or energy to research climate science and sort through conflicting assertions in the news.Ideologues, in collaboration with much of the media, have exploited the public’s naivete to promote fear of a supposedly overheating planet and halt the use of fossil fuels. The result has been … [Read more...]
Costs of Climate Alarmism Are Ones We Can’t Afford
As previously discussed in my March 20 column, following three decades of cooling from the mid-1940s to late '70s that prominent scientists and media sources warned was a terrifying harbinger of the next Ice Age, a mere decade of warming temperatures later became trumpeted by some of those same experts as a reverse threat, one dramatized by then-Sen. Al Gore during his theatrically staged 1988 U.S. Senate hearings on the matter.For example, a 1978 New York Times headline had urgently warned that … [Read more...]
Climate Agendas and Alarmism Reek of Activism, Flawed Science, and Corporate Rent Seeking
Although a favorite attack on those — including me — who challenge alarmist predictions of global warming doom is to brand them as "climate change deniers," no one I know has ever denied that climate changes and has done so for billions of years.On the other hand, I’m also unaware of any respected climate science organization that claims any ability to confidently predict how much it will change in the future, whether warmer or cooler, much less that any disaster is imminent.Take, for example, … [Read more...]
SEC’s Climate Risk Disclosure Rule Would Compel Companies to Make Scientifically False and Misleading Disclosures
In March last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued its climate risk disclosure rule, called “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors.” It requires companies to report enormously costly and voluminous data on their carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With this rule, the SEC seeks “to achieve the primary benefits of GHG emissions disclosure” for investors, including disclosure of “risks associated” with regulations … [Read more...]
U.S. Energy Secretary Offers Africa Freedom from Climate Imperialism
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright has signaled a change that could mean the difference between life and death for millions in Africa.Speaking at the “Powering Africa Summit” in Washington, D.C., Wright told leaders of a continent of 1.5 billion people that the Trump administration “has no desire to tell you what to do with your energy system.” This is departure from the Biden regime, which was aligned with much of the Western climate juggernaut imposing Green New Dealism on developing countries … [Read more...]
Could U.S. Federal Reserve’s Exit from Climate Group Trigger Global Exodus?
For many across the world, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to exit the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) is a sign that central banks can refocus on their primary mandates: stabilizing economies, controlling inflation and fostering growth.Developing nations that need financial backing for the development of fossil fuel projects to advance economic development hopefully can look forward to a reversal of the vacuous injection of a climate change agenda into monetary policy. This … [Read more...]
Study Destroys Basis of EPA Climate Regulations—No Starvation Driven by Climate Change
For two decades, the public has been bombarded with dire warnings of an impending climate-induced agricultural apocalypse. The claim is that a climate warmed excessively by the carbon dioxide emissions of human activity will ravage the food supply and plunge humanity into famine and chaos.For many reasons, none of this ever made sense. Now, a new study published in Scientific Reports, has turned this narrative of catastrophe on its head, revealing that a global temperature rise of even 5 degrees … [Read more...]

Towns and States Don’t Want Green Energy
Trump Administration actions to scale back renewable energy capture headlines, but citizens are also pushing back. Efforts to deploy wind and solar systems face a rising tide of opposition in towns, counties, and states. Mandates for electric vehicles and electric home appliances are being challenged. The combination of rising local opposition and Trump funding cuts threatens to end the transition to green energy.The green energy revolution in the United States has run almost unopposed for the … [Read more...]
From Paris to Permian, Trump Restoring Rational Energy Policy
For too long, the conversation around energy policy in the United States has been dominated by a toxic brew of partisan rancor, media sensationalism, and international grandstanding. The far-left media are now driving a narrative that President Trump’s positions are an assault on reason itself. But the opposite is the truth.What we’re witnessing isn’t a denial of science or a retreat from reality. It’s a bold, pragmatic recalibration – one rooted in economic foresight, scientific clarity, and a … [Read more...]
