Blame Global Warming for Hurricane Harvey?

In the hallowed tradition of Rahm Emanuel’s “You never let a serious crisis go to waste,” ThinkProgress followed Emanuel’s advice when it wrote, “As of 10 a.m. ET on Thursday, Trump had posted seven tweets from his personal @realDonaldTrump account. … Not a single tweet mentioned the potentially devastating storm or warned Gulf residents to prepare for the incoming

On global warming, the American public gets it!

This is simply amazing. After all the hype by media, politicians, entertainers, alarmist climate scientists, and even a Nobel Peace Prize-winning former Vice President, only 28% of Americans think climate scientists understand the causes of climate change “very well.” That’s one finding of a Pew Research Study on which Scott Rasmussen reports in his #Number

Repairing, updating, and expanding infrastructure: The Trump infrastructure permitting order is a good start, but there’s room for strengthening

One of the biggest barriers to investment in infrastructure all across the United States is the long, costly, and unpredictable permitting process. If you have any doubts, just consider the Keystone XL pipeline extension. Proposed by TransCanada in 2008, approved by the Canadian government and the State of South Dakota in 2010, it floundered around

Got Some Expertise on Climate Change? Here’s Your Chance to Bring some Balance

The U.S. Global Change Research Program is calling for nominations of review editors for the fourth edition of the National Climate Assessment.

Should America Subsidize the Coal Industry?

For the record: The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation opposes all subsidies—corporate and individual, at federal, state, and local levels, regardless of their rationale. Not even national security justifies subsidies. If the nation needs bombers or computers or fuel for its security, let it buy them, plain and simple. But let it not

Why Should America Expand its Nuclear Energy Sector?

I’ve long thought the primary obstacle to the great expansion of nuclear power’s contribution to America’s energy needs is excessive regulation imposing safety standards that go far beyond what’s necessary and thus pushing costs prohibitively high. I still think so, and one of the challenges Republicans in Congress should take on is revising bringing those

Will Sun-Controlled Global Climate Cool for Next 50 Years?

One of the most hotly debated questions about modern global warming (roughly 1960–present) is how much credit (or blame) for it goes to the Sun, and how much to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The U.N Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and “mainstream” climate scientists tend to discount the former and pin all or

Why do Bootleggers and Baptists Love Paris?

Huh? Does it even make sense to ask “Why?” if we don’t know “if”? Do bootleggers and Baptists both love Paris? Well, yes—if “Paris” is the Paris climate accord, the “bootleggers” are industrial giants with a lot to gain from policies needed to implement the accord, and the “Baptists” are the environmentalists who support the accord

Was Opening Weekend for Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Sequel’ a Flop?

Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power opened in theaters last weekend. The documentary by the world’s most famous spokesman for climate Armageddon, in a world in which Pew Research Center says people consider climate change tied with the Islamic State as the greatest threat to their nations, had a mixed performance at the box office.
