Misguided ‘Repair the World’ Climate Philanthropy  

By /

The Bronfman family built the Seagram Company into the fabulously successful Canadian real estate, beverage and entertainment conglomerate. After selling Seagram to Vivendi in 2000, it deepened its commitment to Birthright Israel and other Jewish philanthropies.   Like his father, Stephen Bronfman has long been active in Liberal Party of Canada politics.

The Urban Heat Island and Urban Cool Island: A Few Examples for U.S. Major Metropolitan Areas

Fossil Fuels Shine Light of Hope in Africa

By /

My recent conversation on a social media platform with a close friend in Lagos came to an abrupt, silent end. Hours later, he messaged me back with an apology: The phone battery had died, and his neighborhood had been waiting for restoration of electricity service for the better part of the day.  Power interruptions are common for Nigeria’s largest city of more than 13 million people. It

The environmental left will not admit what wind and solar destroy

By /

Several studies by biologists and ornithologists are raising alarms about the toll so-called eco-friendly technologies are taking on birds and other wildlife. Many researchers who support alternative energy in principle are dropping the pretense that wind and solar are benign. The problem begins with energy density. To generate the same reliable electricity as a natural

Glyphosate opponents vs nutrition and modern agriculture  

By /

President Trump recently signed an Executive Order invoking the Defense Production Act to ensure increased domestic supplies of elemental phosphorus – a critical component of glyphosate-based herbicides that are vital for America’s non-organic crop productivity and thus national security.    The EO has rekindled anti-pesticide activism and public concern about glyphosate, which used to be the primary ingredient in Roundup for home use but was changed following numerous class action lawsuits. It’s also created internal conflicts within the
