Washington State’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA) faces the possibility of repeal this fall. Governor Jay Inslee and others claim the CCA will reduce pollution and help stop climate change. But the CCA isn’t having the slightest effect on the climate, while it is boosting the cost of living for Washington residents. Washington’s Climate Commitment Act […]
The following is a guest article by Paul Schwennesen. As Hurricane Beryl barreled its way across the Gulf of Mexico and into the US mainland, the attention-getting headlines had beaten it there by a long shot — claims that it was a remarkable outlier were appearing in climate-frantic narratives more than a week earlier.

The following is a guest article by Roger Koopman. Many conservatives are quite upset at district court Judge Kathy Seeley, for recently ruling in favor of the 16 school-age plaintiffs in the Held climate change case, but I am not.

Since all hospitals, airports, communication systems, militaries, planes, trains, and vehicles are based on the products that did not exist before the 1800’s, that are now made from fossil fuels, today’s policymakers are incapable of sharing a plan to support a supply chain for the products and fuels demanded by today’s materialistic society and economy,
During his debate with former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden claimed: “The only existential threat to humanity is climate change.” What if I told you that it is not climate change but climate policies that are the real existential threat to billions across our planet?

A swirl of tomato soup engulfs Van Gogh’s vibrant “Sunflowers.” Mashed potatoes mar Monet’s serene “Water Lilies.” Across the globe, priceless artworks endure desecration in the name of climate activism. On a recent weekend, so-called eco-activists threw yellow soup on the “Mona Lisa” at Paris’s Louvre Museum. These acts are a vile destruction of beauty
