On September 13, the New York Daily News ran my piece on the Biden Administration’s recent report which claimed the US could be getting 45 percent of its electricity from solar by 2050. (Never mind that Biden has said he wants to decarbonize the electric grid by 2035). In any case, I began the piece: Hyping solar energy is one of Washington, D.C.’s most renewable resources. Back in 1979, President Jimmy Carter declared the U.S. needed to capture more energy from the sun … [Read more...]

One Overhyped Crisis Deserves Another
Anthropogenic climate change is real. It is not a an existential threat---pace Greenpeace, the Climate Action Network, and the world's most famous climate scientist, 18-year-old Greta Thunberg, who demand a hundred-trillion-dollar makeover of the global energy infrastructure to achieve a fraction of a degree of global temperature reduction at the end of this century. COVID-19 is real. It is not an existential threat---pace the WHO, the CDC, and your local mayor or school board, who demand … [Read more...]
Al Gore Offers Africa Electricity by the Spoonful
Guest column by Ken Braun An anecdote widely attributed to (but perhaps not originating with) Milton Friedman holds that the late, great Nobel Prize laureate was touring a developing nation and happened upon a public works project. To make way for the new road or canal or whatever, platoons of workers using hand shovels were laboriously moving the dirt and rocks from one spot to another. Perplexed by this absurdly primitive approach, Friedman supposedly asked why the government wasn’t using … [Read more...]

Unmasking the Latest Bipartisan (and Dangerous) Climate Bill
It is summer in the United States, which means temperatures are hot and western forests and grasslands are burning—as has been the case as long as people have lived here. In our current age, however, in which there is alleged to be a political “solution” to nearly every problem, politicians believe they can use governmental policies to give us better weather and change the nature of wildfires. So far, Congress, state legislators, and the Biden administration have launched a blizzard of new … [Read more...]
IPCC-proposed banishment of fossil fuels would put most of the world’s people at risk
Oil derivatives and fuel manufactured from oil were the main reasons population rose to 8 billion. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calls the AR6 Climate Change 2021 Report, just released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a “code red for humanity“ that "must sound a death knell for … fossil fuels, before they destroy our planet.” The report fails to acknowledge that the introduction of oil just over 100 years ago has been overwhelmingly beneficial, … [Read more...]
CLIMATE ALARMISTS CALL FOR GLOBAL ‘ECO-DICTATORSHIP’
Every so often the truth seeps out that significantly reducing global greenhouse gas emissions will require enormous sacrifices, meaning profound losses of welfare on people's part. Bear that in mind when you hear politicians’ promises of “net zero by X date” or “50 or 80 percent carbon dioxide reductions by year X.” In the Western world, the energy cuts and lifestyle changes required to hit net zero will mean going back to early-1800s levels of emissions. This will force enormously negative … [Read more...]
New Climate Report Got You Shakin’ in Your Boots?
Every year like clockwork, starting in late July and running through to November, mainstream media around the world start hyping the message: your sinful use of fossil fuels to heat or cool your home, cook your food, power your car or truck, make and market and use your food, clothing, shelter, communications, transportation, health care, and all the other things that keep you alive and healthy will make the world overheat, and then you'll be sorry! And this year, the United Nations' (UN) … [Read more...]
