India’s unconstrained use of coal for electricity generation is helping 1.4 billion people adapt to intense heat waves that registered 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) on thermometers. However, I’ve not seen a single story from the mainstream media highlighting why coal is essential to the comfort – and even survival – of people in my country.Instead, reporters bemoan how India’s use of “dirty” coal in the midst of oppressive heat frustrates the country’s “decarbonization.” It cannot be … [Read more...]
Using Science To Further Government Objectives
“Scientists Discover Strong Correlation Between Trusting Government And Eating Paint Chips” read a recent headline in The Babylon Bee. The article went on to report that “trust in government also ranked high among gasoline sniffers, toad lickers, and oven cleaner huffers.”Although the article is ostensibly satirical, trusting government does seem a mite flaky these days, especially when combined with a trust in mainstream media reporting on science in the service of government.Image: Creative … [Read more...]
There Is No Green “Energy Transition”
The reason for the growth in humanity from 1 to 8 billion in 200 years is simple: fossil fuels are abundant, cheap, and efficient, so they provide reliable and dense energy at scale that can be manufactured into usable products by humanity. Renewables, on the other hand, cannot manufacture anything for humanity. Fossil fuels have helped to generate a quality-of-life revolution for a portion of humanity, and people in poverty who have missed out on this … [Read more...]
China, Russia, Oil, Gas, Coal, and Climate
The relationship between China and Russia poses the greatest danger faced by America and the West since the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939 initiated WWII. If alarm bells are not ringing all across Washington, DC, they should be. China was already a global power based on its expanding economy, modernizing military and diplomatic reach, but the burgeoning relations with Moscow provide Beijing with renewed energy, literally and figuratively.What does that mean for the rest of the world?The … [Read more...]
Even With Its Problems, Science Education Lives On In America
This is a guest article by Dr. Sharon Camp.Never have I been so inspired upon being removed from a venue. Actually, as a retired teacher of AP (advanced placement) environmental sciences and chemistry, I haven’t been escorted from very many places. Perhaps none. I should explain.I am a member of the CO2 Coalition in Arlington, Virginia, where I wear my scientist hat – a B.S. in geology and Ph.D. in analytical chemistry – and serve on the organization’s education committee. In supporting our … [Read more...]
Nuclear Energy is a Game Changer, But Not For Climate Reasons!
Nuclear energy offers humanity the safest, most efficient approach to harnessing natural resources for its use. As the densest energy source available, nuclear fuel requires the least amount of material and land for electricity production.This is a sufficient reason to support the technology. Yet, some promote it as a means to address a manufactured climate emergency – worse yet, as a mere stop-gap in a transition to weather-dependent wind turbines and solar panels.Presenting nuclear energy as a … [Read more...]
Greens Refuse to Discuss Recycling of Renewables and Restoration of Mining Locations to Pristine Conditions
The reality is that all the mineral products and metals needed to make wind turbines, solar panels, and EV batteries are mined and processed in places like Baotou, Inner Mongolia, Bolivia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, mostly under Chinese control. Decommissioning and restoration of those mining landscapes back to their original pristine condition is not in the cards in developing countries. Recycling of worn-out turbine blades, solar panels, and EV batteries in wealthy … [Read more...]
The Pathway to End Poverty and the Christian’s Role
Christian love compels every follower of Jesus to help the poor and needy. Jesus, in Matthew 25:40, referring to help extended by the righteous people to the needy in the world, says, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”Half of the global population (4 billion) lives on less than $6.85 USD per person per day (less than $210 USD per month). Among them, around 650 million live on $2.15 USD or less per day (or less than $64 USD … [Read more...]
Oaks: America Is Emulating Mao’s Cultural Revolution
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashAt the 15th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC), hosted by Heartland Institute, Utah State Treasurer Marlo Oaks revealed how globalist U.S and world leaders, government scientists and bureaucrats, and media are quickly implementing policies that reflect the “Cultural Revolution” horribly implemented by China’s Chairman Mao. According to Oaks, the globalist community, enamored by the total control the Chinese Communist Party exhibits over its … [Read more...]
Are We About to Lose 40% of our Species?
The preservationist group NatureServe just released a report concluding that some 40% of animal species in the US will go extinct in the near future due to climate change. Their predictions may turn out not to be quite accurate since other factors at work determine which species survive and which go the way of the dodo bird and ivory-billed woodpecker. The analysis the report depends on has been severely criticized for lack of rigor by Canadian and Finnish … [Read more...]
