Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash Hawaii has suffered through one of the most devastating natural disasters in recent American history. Predictably, the left-wing political and media narrative-making machine has sought to turn the Hawaii fires into another lesson about climate change. The facts draw a drastically different picture. The extent of the damage on the island of Maui isn’t fully known yet, but it looks horrific. As of this writing, the death toll stands at 99. It’s … [Read more...]
Time to Cool Climate Panic Over Summer Heat
There is some hysteria over recent declarations of worldwide, record-breaking heat based on woefully limited climate data. Perspective is badly needed to calm the air. Official proclamations cannot change the climate or alter the state of the atmosphere, but they can lead to undue panic. The assertion that the exceptionally voluminous quantity of air that surrounds the planet is undergoing disastrous disruption by anthropogenic actions is a hypothesis, not an established fact. The lowest … [Read more...]
Jurassic Mammoths?
The following is an excerpt from an article by Heather Frank. Shaggy-coated and large-tusked, woolly mammoths once roamed the cold tundra of Europe, Asia, and North America. Mammoths became extinct thousands of years ago, but now Colossal, a biosciences and genetics company, wants to bring these pachyderms back to life. Using cutting-edge genetic engineering technology, Colossal aims to insert mammoth DNA into Asian elephants to create a “cold-tolerant elephant mammoth hybrid.” Co-founded … [Read more...]
The Disastrous Potential of The EPA’s Proposed Rule for Model Year 2027
Comment to the Environmental Protection Agency: Proposed Rule on “Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Year 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles” Summary The benefit/cost analysis published by the Environmental Protection Agency in its proposed rule “Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Year 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles” is fatally flawed; accordingly, the proposed rule should not be finalized. EPA claims that the fuel savings … [Read more...]
Abandoning Fossil Fuels Without a Replacement Helps China
Wind turbines and solar panels that can generate electricity intermittently are themselves totally dependent on fossil fuels for all their components. Renewables offer NO energy independence, as America has never imported electricity from foreign countries. Wind and solar just generate intermittent electricity.

Countering the World’s Rigged Conversation about Energy and Climate
Today's conversation about energy and climate is "rigged" with bad thinking methods, misleading terms, false assumptions, and anti-human values—all of which serve to promote deadly policies. Our rigged conversation about energy and climate Just as legal systems can be rigged, so can cultural conversations We are all familiar with the idea of a legal system that is rigged against certain types of people. For example, in the classic To Kill a Mockingbird, the legal system of … [Read more...]
U.S. Nuclear Energy Policy: Stuck on Stupid!
The gullibility of the human species is a sight to behold. Take these examples, from a list of superstitions. According to Joshua Partlow, Washington Post Mexico bureau chief, putting two mirrors in front of each other opens a threshold for the devil. In Lithuania, it is forbidden to whistle indoors, because the noise is believed to summon demons. In South Korea, it is commonly believed that prolonged exposure to a running fan will cause hypothermia and asphyxiation. Here’s one not … [Read more...]
Three Cheers for Refrigeration—and Four, Once Everyone Has It
The following is a guest article by Ben Lieberman. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash It is difficult to overstate the benefits of refrigeration. Even more than its technological sibling air conditioning, refrigeration has dramatically improved public health and the quality of life wherever it has become widespread. And unlike air conditioning, the utility of which is questioned in some intellectual circles, refrigeration has few if any critics. Nonetheless, in an age when climate … [Read more...]
Global Warming Saves Lives
[Editor’s note: You’ve heard there are “lies, damned lies, and statistics”? That it’s easy to lie with statistics—even if your numbers are true? Those aphorisms are absolutely true. And what our friends at the CO2 Coalition reveal in this brief article is a stellar example. Lancet, which is among the most respected medical journals, should be ashamed to have published the incredibly deceptive graph shown on the left. Thanks to the CO2 Coalition, the graph on the right corrects it. Climate … [Read more...]
Education Game-Changer
Last week, for the first time, a major state formally rebuked one of the core elements of the Left’s scheme to undermine our education system (see below). If other states are paying attention, this could be the beginning of an extraordinarily significant awakening and rejection of the stranglehold that the Left now has on our K-12 education system. It’s no secret that the Left plans to take down America. Their number one strategy to bring this about is to corrupt the education system. … [Read more...]
