The question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, is an age-old question. It is a metaphor to describe situations where it isn’t clear which is the cause and which is the effect when two interrelated events are considered.Aristotle first pondered the question in the fourth century B.C. and concluded it was an infinite sequence with no real answer. But Plutarch wrote in the first century A.D. that this question was as important as whether the world had a beginning.But in the … [Read more...]
Crude Reality: South America’s Offshore Oil Buries Net Zero Agenda
South American nations are increasingly realigning energy strategies to capitalize on offshore oil and gas reserves, signaling a marked shift from previously stated goals of reducing dependence on fossil fuels to satisfy the net zero agenda of those obsessed with a faux climate emergency. This divergence reflects the region's pressing need to address economic challenges, including poverty, unemployment and a requirement for sustainable revenue streams to fund social programs and … [Read more...]
Tangled Comparisons: Renewables Versus Fossil Fuels
The following is a guest article by Norman Rogers.We are often told that wind and solar, if not cheaper, are at least cost competitive with fossil fuels. Dead wrong! Wind or solar costs around five times more per megawatt hour compared to, for example, natural gas.We are told that wind and solar will save us from a climate catastrophe. If there is a looming climate catastrophe, the only thing that will save us is nuclear power. Wind and solar are incredibly expensive methods of reducing CO2 … [Read more...]
Math Confirms Foolishness of Climate Alarmism
The science of climate change often is presented in complicated language that speaks of computer models and the theoretical inputs and outputs thereof and concludes that the globe is on the verge of “boiling.” Well, leave it to three physicists -- steeped in calculus and such arcane matters as the behavior of molecules and the nuclear charge of atoms -- to simplify the analysis and arrive at a much less alarming determination. “Straightforward calculations … show that eliminating U.S. CO2 … [Read more...]
Iowa Farmers Threatened by Climate “Solutions”
Iowa’s rolling fields, stretching as far as the eye can see, have long embodied America's agricultural prowess. For generations, the farmers of this Midwestern state have fed not just a nation but a significant portion of the world, their toil and ingenuity creating an agricultural superpower. Yet today, these same farmers feel the very foundations of their way of life threatened by proposals to limit greenhouse gas emissions to address a fabricated climate emergency. Iowa … [Read more...]
India Accentuates Coal Reliance in its New Economic Policy Brief
Most discussions of India’s annual budget are being dominated by the increased taxation of the middle class. But many media entities—both in India and the West—overlooked the country’s decision to increase its coal consumption.An economic survey released as a prelude to the financial budget often indicates the country’s future direction in various areas of governance, including energy and environment. This year’s survey—like those in the previous years—clearly indicates that the country … [Read more...]
The Unfolding 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season
Before the 2024 hurricane season began June 1, the National Hurricane Center had announced its prediction of an active hurricane season.Strong El Ninos are accompanied by a persistent jet stream coursing eastward from the Pacific Ocean over the northern Gulf of Mexico. The jet continues out over the Atlantic Ocean and disrupts clusters of thunder storms before they can organize into a stable circulation pattern defining a tropical storm system. During the El Nino cycle a nascent tropical storm … [Read more...]
Who is Directing the War on Agriculture and Nutrition?
Elite billionaire organizations and foundations, government agencies and activist pressure groups are funding and coordinating a global war on modern agriculture, nutrition, and Earth’s poorest, hungriest people. Instead of helping more families get nutritious food, better healthcare and higher living standards, they’re doing the opposite, and harming biodiversity in the process.The World Economic Forum wants to reimagine, reinvent and transform the global food system, to eliminate … [Read more...]
The True Cost of Biden’s Bet on EVs
Two months into his Presidency, Joe Biden announced a $2 trillion infrastructure plan that included $174 billion in grants, subsidies, and other payouts to encourage Americans to switch to battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). Since that initial “investment,” billions and billions more have been poured into what is increasingly a failing effort to convince or cajole auto buyers to switch.These huge expenditures, together with COVID and war monies, have ballooned the national debt … [Read more...]
Anemia Would Rise in Climate Obsessed’s Meatless Dystopia
Iron deficiency, and the anemia it causes, remains a persistent global health issue that can only be exacerbated by a war on meat waged by climate alarmists, whose hostility to animal protein is a manifestation of an anti-human ideology.Growing up in South Asia, I observed a dietary practice in India where doctors prescribed moderate consumption of red meat for individuals with severe anemia, especially women during pregnancy. According to the World Health Organization, more than 40% of children … [Read more...]
