Japan Chooses Reliable Energy Over Climate Nonsense

By /

Not long ago, Japan stood before the world pledging to become a paragon of decarbonization.  Government papers were filled with talk of hydrogen corridors, offshore wind farms, and electric vehicle subsidies.   To satisfy international climate lobbies, Japan planned for years to phase out coal. Operations at coal-fired power plants were restricted to only 50% capacity. Political leaders spoke solemnly of a “moral duty” to achieve “carbon neutrality” by

Socialism is Always a Move Towards Communism — with the Same Results

By /

Tragically, we face today burgeoning support for socialism, largely because the U.S. socialist-inspired public schools have intentionally avoided teaching the system’s evil ways and disastrous results everywhere on earth it’s ever been attempted. As red flags go, they don’t come much bigger. Or redder. I have a long-time family friend, who should know better. He’s

If All You Have Is a ‘Wet Bulb,’ Everything Looks Like Greenhouse Warming

By /

During the Eastern heatwave in early July, I stumbled across an article on CNN entitled, “This heat wave would be ‘virtually impossible’ if not for fossil fuel pollution, study says.” (If you click on that, you’ll be redirected to a different article. I’ll tell you why in a moment.) The use of the term ‘virtually impossible’ together with the

How Christians Drink their Coffee: Enjoying America’s Favorite Beverage without Compromising Economics, Ethics, or Ecology

By /

The following is a guest article by Xandra Grieme. As I held the coffee leaf in my hands, I felt useless. After long days of trekking through the Honduran jungles, I was tired. My feet had carried me to places that only ATVs or horses could reach—to the remotest mountain villages of the region.  I was there to meet

Could Canada’s Energy Future Match the Majesty of Its Rockies?

By /

Canada’s picturesque Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler, British Columbia, is 75 miles of soaring beauty. One of my favorites, the trip takes the traveler from sea level to an elevation of 2,200 feet with nearby peaks more than four times higher. Similarly inspiring in its economic rise was Canada towards the end of 20th century, remaining one of the world’s strongest economies through the global recession of 2009.

G7 Climate Realism Signals Policy Progress

By /

The June G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, marked a major pivot. Driven by severe energy and commodity shocks stemming from the conflict in the Middle East—specifically transit disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—G7 leaders overwhelmingly prioritized energy security, price insulation, and survival of the fossil fuel supply chain over aggressive timelines for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.   Who could have predicted that, rather than condemning

They Knew: Impossible Climate Model Scenario Widely Used, Despite Known Flaws

By /

For more than a decade, the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5), the high-emissions climate-model scenario, dominated climate research and policy, treated as the “business-as-usual” pathway. It projected global temperatures to rise by 4.3℃ or more by 2100. Many climate researchers were on the record noting from the outset that RCP8.5 was “implausible” and shouldn’t be

An Imperfect World That Is Better Than Ever 

By /

Much of the world was optimistic after a peace deal ended months of conflict in the Middle East that had disrupted the global oil trade. But peace in that region has long been a tenuous matter, and how long it lasts is anybody’s guess. Nonetheless, there are other reasons for optimism that are not subject to the vagaries of geopolitics.  For the past two decades, the media have reported a “climate crisis” with a conviction that presumed dissent to be insane

No, Paris, US Air Conditioners Did Not Cause Europe’s Heat Wave

Happy July Fourth and America 250!   We have much to celebrate, beginning with our Constitutional rights, equality, and liberties, and the prosperity they have bestowed. Indeed, living in this incredible, diverse, energized country, during this time in history, with our modern transportation, communication, healthcare, and AIR CONDITIONING technologies, is a true blessing.   We can also be thankful if we aren’t in Europe this summer, with its 40˚C (104˚F) heat wave – and virtually no air conditioning.   Europe
