Writing in American Thinker, Mark Adams notes that although 2023’s summer was hotter than normal, as the mainstream media voluminously report, three recent papers published in respected peer-reviewed journals have concluded that much of the hyped heat was a result of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, with compromised ground-based temperature stations in expanding urban and suburban areas biasing the local and thus global averaged temperatures upward. As Adams writes:Although urban areas occupy … [Read more...]
Indonesia Shelves Decarbonization for Prosperity and Security

Era of ‘Unquestioned and Unchallenged’ Climate Change Claims Is Over
The following is a guest article by Alex Newman. Leading voices in the climate science community are in an uproar as their warming hypothesis is coming under fresh assault by new scientific papers. The authors of the papers are being attacked and say that “activist scientists” threatened by the new findings are “aggressively conducting an orchestrated disinformation campaign to discredit the papers and the scientific reputation of the authors.” Indeed, from insults on … [Read more...]
Electric Vehicles Are Much More Costly than Commonly Claimed
Electric Vehicles (EV) have been much in the headlines recently, from stories detailing the difficulties with charging them to losses suffered by major automakers pushing them at the behest of the Biden administration, to EV fires, the dependence on China for critical components used in EVs including their batteries, range and function issues, and beyond.

Ninety-Nine Percent Consensus? Not so, Says New Analysis

Why Young Evangelicals Are in Danger of Becoming Puppets for Climate Marxism

Without Crude Oil, There Can Be No Electricity
Over the last 200 years, after the discovery of crude oil, the world's population has increased from 1 to 8 billion.

Need We Fear Another Ice Age? A Review of Following Jesus in a Warming World
The title of this review may be confusing considering that it is an assessment of the book Following Jesus in a Warming World: A Christian Call to Climate Action by Kyle Meyaard-Schaap (IVP, Downers Grove, IL, February 2023). However, “Need We Fear Another Ice Age?” is the title of a Christian tract written by Walter Lang and Vic Lockman to comfort Christians and witness to others at a time in the 1970s when scientists and the public were expecting the return of a planetary … [Read more...]
California Aims to Force Adoption of Electric Trucks, But 19 States Sue to Block
Earlier this year, California passed regulations that would turn the trucking industry upside down.
