On February 13, Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer made a presentation to about 120 senior asset managers responsible for investments totaling some $25 trillion. The thrust of his message? "NO CLIMATE CRISIS---But the 'Profits of Doom' Will Continue." Dr. Spencer, a principal research scientist in climatology at the University of Alabama, Huntsville who, with his colleague Dr. John Christy, manages NASA's satellite global temperature measuring program and is the U.S. Science … [Read more...]
The Dirty Big Secret: ‘Clean, Renewable Energy’ Is Neither
... clean nor renewable, that is. That fact came through loud and clear in an article last August by energy expert Mark Mills and co-author Alexander Ackley in The International Chronicles titled "The Destructive Myth of Green Energy: If You Want 'Renewable Energy' Get Ready to Destroy the Environment." Here are a few facts that Mills and Ackley explain and prove in detail: While wind and sunlight renew themselves, we can only derive usable energy from them by using materials that … [Read more...]
The Giga and Terra Scam of Offshore Wind Energy
Can anti-fossil fuel policies based on climate crisis alarmism possibly get any more insane than this? In what might be described as a pre-Halloween trick of ginormous proportions, the International Energy Agency (IEA) now asserts that “renewable, sustainable” energy output will explode over the next two decades. Certainly for onshore wind and solar energy – but especially for offshore wind, says the IEA. “Offshore wind currently provides just 0.3% of global power generation,” IEA … [Read more...]
World owes thanks to American oil production in wake of attacks on Saudi Arabia
In the wake of drone attacks over the weekend on two of Saudi Arabia's top oil processing facilities, oil prices shot up worldwide, causing stock prices to fall. MarketWatch reported, "The attacks are believed to be part of a continuing conflict between Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia," but many experts think Iran is likely behind them. "Our markets are on a wild ride today after the Houthi Rebel attacks," Matador Economics's Tim Snyder, a specialist in the world oil markets, said … [Read more...]
Climate Alarmists Make Evangelical College Students the Bull’s Eye
For over a decade, evangelicals have been the most skeptical subset of the American population about claims of catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming (CAGW). Don’t count on their staying that way. Recently Physics World reported on an experiment conducted at three evangelical colleges to see how students’ views about global warming/climate change would shift if they viewed a professionally done one-hour presentation designed to persuade them that it’s real, mainly human-induced, … [Read more...]
Battling Thunderstorms and Darkness in a Developing Country
It is the middle of summer here in Southern India. The heat and wind are working together to give sharp spells of thunderstorms in the interiors, while coastal cities remain largely dry. Rain is good. All our cities are highly dependent on monsoon rains, and the pre-monsoon rains are more than welcome. However, not all things work well with rain. Thunderstorms cause regular power interruptions of at least 5 hours a day between 3 and 11 pm in my city, Bangalore. On one particular evening … [Read more...]
Two Surprising Voices on Climate Change and Renewable Energy
Stereotyping is easy. One can predict people’s worldviews and policy positions based on their social and political identities. That generally holds true for people’s views about climate change and climate and energy policy—among the hottest issues in the world today. Yet some people prioritize the pursuit of truth over how they wish things were. Two in particular have been bold in the face of mass “group think” on climate change and renewable technology. Besides voicing their opinions, … [Read more...]
Is Germany the First Developed Nation Headed Towards Energy Suicide?
Ever since Germany’s announcement that it will go coal-free by 2022, one question keeps popping up in my head: Will mighty Germany be the first developed economy to commit energy suicide? Earlier this year, Germany announced that it will close all of its 84 coal-fired power plants by 2038. Ronald Pofalla, chairman of the government commission that developed the plan, remarked “There won’t be any more coal-burning plants in Germany by 2038”. But are Germany’s aspirations practically … [Read more...]
Will My Carbon Footprint Benefit or Harm the Environment?
My cousin in California is excited about buying a Tesla. “It is environmentally friendly” he says. Maybe you agree. My friends in India, too, are excited about buying electric cars. They think doing so will help them prevent global warming. But the evidence suggests otherwise. Almost every environmental policy now makes reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the only way to “go green.” Advocates have even persuaded school children to strike against fossil fuels. But as a climate … [Read more...]
Climate Madness Might Cost Elections: Lessons from the Canadian Carbon Tax Fiasco
Politicians who favor policies to fight global warming that will impose big costs on consumers might take a lesson from what’s happening in Canada. The Trudeau government imposed a new carbon tax on its citizens effective April 1, 2019. (Yes, indeed, April Fool’s Day!) But it faces legal challenges in the provinces of Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and New Brunswick, none of which has its own carbon tax, which is why the federal tax went into effect in them. Even provinces like Alberta, … [Read more...]
