The archipelago nation of Indonesia represents just 1% of Earth’s land area, but it has set the stage for global geopolitics surrounding fossil fuels and climate policies. As a part of climate negotiations between G-7 nations, Indonesia was expected to be the first among developing countries to announce early closures of coal plants. In the spotlight is the 660-megawatt Cirebon-1 plant in West Java province, which had been scheduled to shut down by 2035. However, it … [Read more...]
Will Wind and Solar Hammer Hydro in Washington State?
All around America there is an avalanche of proposed wind and solar projects. The idea is to replace fossil-fueled electric power, which is the dominant source in most places. Some States even have laws to this effect. Setting aside that this is an impossible goal it is interesting, even amusing, to see how this avalanche might play out in Washington State. The majority of their power comes from hydro, but wind and solar power are poised to wipe that out as well. This is an objective losing … [Read more...]
Climate Journalism, Increasingly Bought and Paid For
I have written a couple of times previously about the mainstream media’s outside-funded collaboration to promote climate alarm. For example, the Associated Press took millions of dollars from left-wing foundations specifically to cover climate change. Journalistic creed and ethics be damned, media outlets collaborated to suppress voices of dissent, first about climate change, then about the Wuhan coronavirus and the government’s response to it, election integrity, and a variety of other … [Read more...]
Climate Colonialism Starves Africa of Energy
European colonialism, which methodically extracted wealth from Africa until the system’s collapse in the last century, has been replaced by climate colonialism that stifles the economic development that the Dark Continent desperately needs. A highly political climate industrial complex enables Western governments and international bodies like the United Nations to exert soft power over poorer countries’ energy policies. Advancing a so-called green agenda in the name of saving humanity from a … [Read more...]
Left’s Climate and EV Craze Couldn’t Make China Happier
We can safely bet that no one is more gleeful about America’s leadership vacuum than President Xi Jinping, of China. Why? The possibility of a Harris-Walz administration continuing in the rutted green energy tracks of the of the former Biden-Harris White House, while embracing the trading away of American energy independence. A scenario for reliance upon imported rare earth minerals needed for transitioning away from petroleum fueled cars to electric vehicles (EVs). China’s Communist … [Read more...]
How Can the Church Navigate Climate Confusion While Fostering Human Development?
In recent years, controversy over climate change has created significant confusion and division among Christians. Conflicting voices in the evangelical community have made the issue even more difficult. Our response should be grounded in Biblical principles, scientific understanding, and a commitment to human flourishing. In this article, we will aim to clear the air and promote an appropriate response by addressing three distinct perspectives that have emerged: forecasting an imminent global … [Read more...]
Repeal Biden’s Entire Destructive Climate Change Program
This piece originally appeared at WashingtonExaminer.com and has been republished here with permission. The following is a guest article by David M. Simon The next president and Congress should repeal every aspect of the Biden administration’s climate change legislative and regulatory program. It is economically destructive, damages national security, and at most will have a barely detectable impact on global temperatures. It should never have been pursued, moreover, because … [Read more...]
Awaiting the Death of Climate Skeptics
This blog received the following comment from our alarmist friend David Appell, freelance writer: “Roy, nobody who is serious about climate change takes you seriously. You’re a denier who has made too many mistakes. No one who knows anything is going to bother commenting here–they upset you so much that all you can think to do is block them. You long ago left the realm of science. As they say, science advances one funeral at a time. Nobody believes your time series anyway. You did that to … [Read more...]

“Green” Objectives Stifle Economic Growth in the Developing World
The following is a guest article by Ronald Stein, Dr. Robert Jeffrey, and Olivia Vaughan. About 80% of the globe’s 8 billion people live in less developed countries. Much of Africa and South-East Asia are prime examples of this, as are the Pacific Ocean Island states. The people in those countries might live on less than $10 per day. Still, the greater problem is that they have little or no access to reliable electricity or to the many products manufactured using fossil fuels and their … [Read more...]
