Ending poverty requires more than just providing temporary financial aid. It requires sound policies that bring about growth in the economy and people’s livelihoods. However, implementing such policies is increasingly difficult due to challenges from environmental activists. Not all environmental activism is helpful. Lately, there has been a wave of activism against access to even the most basic energy resources like coal, oil, and gas. This is because fossil fuels are said to be endangering … [Read more...]
Fake Science Fuels Climate Extremism
This is a guest article by David Barker. "Follow the science,” we are told, especially the junk science that climate alarmists invent. I recently debunked a piece of junk climate science whose alarmism was featured in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, CNN, CBS, and elsewhere. The junk science was produced by the Federal Reserve. Fed officials claimed that warming will cut economic growth by a third, but my simple statistical analysis showed their results were within the margin of error … [Read more...]
Climate Censors and Their Phony Fact Checks, Paid Shills
Climate alarmists’ response when the facts don’t fit the narrative they’ve been pushing for two decades is to suppress the facts by killing the messengers. Today you kill bearers of inconvenient truths not with an ax to the back of the neck but by de-platforming them. The climate censors start by throttling or labeling posts with which they disagree, limiting others’ ability to share unredacted posts on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms. If that fails to dissuade the climate … [Read more...]
Welcome to Cold War II
Trying to Save the Planetfrom the People Who Are Trying to Save the Planet Two scenes from my toddlerhood in Calcutta, India, have flashed in my mind thousands of times over the last 60-plus years. The first was of a beautiful tree with a red-flowered vine hanging from its branches. The second was of the emaciated bodies of people who had died overnight of starvation and disease. I saw the tree and its vine as my aia, or nurse, led me by the hand through the courtyard of the building … [Read more...]
BOOK REVIEW: ‘Letter to the American Church’
Like the German church in the 1930s, the American church in the 2020s is culpable for the pending devastation of human life and the collapse of a great nation. Comparisons could not be more compelling as proffered in “Letter to the American Church” by New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas. “Letter to the American Church” is a culmination of Mr. Metaxas’ in-depth understanding of the decline and fall of Germany under the Third Reich, especially as seen through the … [Read more...]
Good News, the World Is Getting Better
The following is a guest article by Bjorn Lomborg. It's easy to believe that life on Earth is getting ever worse. The media constantly highlight one catastrophe after another and make terrifying predictions. With a torrent of doom and gloom about climate change and the environment, it’s understandable why many people — especially the young — genuinely believe the world is about to end. The fact is that while problems remain, the world is, in fact, getting better. We just rarely hear … [Read more...]
Floods Are Nothing New
This is a guest article by Viv Forbes. There is nothing unusual about floods, fires, droughts, homelessness, and hunger – they have always been part of the human story. But satellite technology allows us to track them better and our worldwide media revels in disaster reporting, bringing tearfully tragic scenes into every living room, every night. Population growth means that more people are affected by weather events, but there is no evidence that floods and droughts are getting … [Read more...]
Vietnam’s U-Turn on Coal Reflects Inevitable Energy Reality
Ever since signing the Paris climate agreement, Vietnam has shown interest in reducing its dependency on fossil fuels, introducing in recent years a slew of measures to cut consumption. However, in what is considered to be a major U-turn, Vietnam’s government announced last month that it will increase coal imports for the next 13 years. Critics of fossil fuels, including most mainstream media, are out of sync with the world’s energy realities. They are … [Read more...]
BBC Bear Propaganda Melts Under Analysis
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash A recently released BBC documentary, Frozen Planet II, renews claims that polar bears are destined to doom due to melting Arctic sea ice and calls for “immediate action.” “David Attenborough returns with another epic exploration of the world’s frozen regions…you’re weirdly sad that a polar bear can’t hunt seals because of the melting ice – and this image nails the urgent message in this incredible six-episode series,” reads The Guardian’s intro to … [Read more...]
Should Climate Change Take the Blame for Hurricane Ian’s Carving a New Inlet in Florida?
The mainstream media continue efforts to convince a credulous public that Hurricane Ian was something unique that resulted from the combined overall effects of human-induced climate change. The implied assertion is patently untrue. Weather.com posts a clip showing devastation along one of Florida’s barrier islands near the point of Ian’s landfall. No beach structure remains intact in the photo and there is a small inlet that has been cut into the strand, formerly a continuous … [Read more...]
