But you need to ask it twice.The first time, you want to know what it means. The answer, according to Wikipedia, is (take a deep breath) “the … [Read more...]
Leftists Push for Removal of Progressive Champion Moore’s ‘Planet of the Humans’ Film
Socialist radical environmentalists are repeating history again, eating one of their own, in this case far-left filmmaker and Bernie Sanders supporter Michael Moore. They are trying to destroy the progressive documentarian for honestly pointing out the hypocrisy and lies behind the push for green energy.Even though America’s free-market economy has made him a multimillionaire, Moore is a longtime critic of capitalism and the United States and is a leader of the Progressive movement intent on … [Read more...]
50th Earth Day: Compassionate concern for humans and their habitat

This was the same year the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was established and the federal Clean Air Act was promulgated.Over the past five decades, since I rode my bike to school celebrating that inaugural day, the nation’s air quality has improved markedly. Particle and gaseous pollutants have been reduced tremendously, and … [Read more...]
Oil Giant Knuckles Under to Climate Alarmists—Needlessly
It's a crying shame that BP, which along with ExxonMobil and other major oil companies once made up the "Seven Sisters," has again let itself be mau-maued to the extent of caving in to demands by the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, and other organizations constituting Big Enviro. It announced in February that it “is leaving the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, a lobby group for the U.S. oil and petrochemicals sector, and the Western States Petroleum Association, the largest … [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 don't.

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 executive … [Read more...]

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, dangerous, and … [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.
