Healthy Polar Bears and Thriving Tigers: The Common Climate Tale
Last year, the world applauded Greta Thunberg’s emotional “How Dare You!” speech at the UN summit in New York. The teenager famously said, “Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction.” The mainstream media’s narrative is similar. Ecosystems are dying. Animals are going extinct. Our evil desire to consume fossil fuels is to blame! What do you think? Are species going extinct because of manmade global warming? Christians, who honor God as Creator, should … [Read more...]

Yes, We Need More Fossil Fuels in the Developing World
Energy has been a key factor in lifting people out of poverty. With the invention of ingenious methods to harness fuel resources, the energy extracted from naturally available resources like fossil fuels increased rapidly in the past two centuries. As a result, economies grew and people rose out of poverty. However, the energy revolution and industrialization occurred largely in Europe, North America, and a few Asian countries. The oil boom in the Middle East helped many of the states … [Read more...]
Sensible, sustainable nuclear power for Africa
Economic, environmental and practical reasons make nuclear power Africa’s best option Article also by Knox Msebenzi.

Clean Renewable? There Is No Wind Energy Without Fossil Fuels
Many people today praise wind and solar energy as clean energy and trust them as the power sources of the future, the sources that will replace fossil fuels. President Joe Biden has announced his intent to force the transition. With a couple of executive orders that curtailed fossil fuel use, he is marching towards his intensive plan to increase dependency on renewables. Last week, Biden’s newly appointed White House climate czar Gina McCarthy said, “Biden has committed to 100% clean power … [Read more...]
Rare Earths First? Or Last?
As Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take the reins of government and launch their program to “transition” America away from fossil fuels, they need to consider some hard realities. Chief among them is that no Green New Deal can succeed without major increases in US mining and processing – unless they want to make America even more dependent on China and Russia. Rare-earth metals are essential to 21st century technologies, including smartphones, lasers, night vision systems, weapons guidance … [Read more...]
EU’s Carbon Border Taxes and Joe Biden’s Clean Energy plans: A double threat for developing countries
The introduction of the European Union’s Carbon Border Taxes and Joe Biden’s announcement of Clean Energy plans has raised double alarm in developing countries. The new European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) law will impact all countries exporting to EU, especially those countries without carbon pricing mechanisms. Countries like India, China, Indonesia, Philippines, and even developed ones like Australia, Poland are likely to significantly affected by the CBAM. Climate Justice … [Read more...]
How Busy Was the 2020 Hurricane Season?
The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, with 30 named storms, is going down in the record books as having the most named storms of any season on record. But are we comparing apples and apples—or apples and oranges? Some people blame the recent increase in named storms—tropical storms and hurricanes—on global warming, and infer that we must stop spewing CO2 into the atmosphere to curb the warming and so prevent the increase in storms and the damage they cause. But the raw data for hurricane … [Read more...]
Biden’s Climate Appointments and the Potential Disruption to the Global Fossil Fuel Market
With President-elect Joe Biden about to assume office, he will soon roll out his “clean energy” plan, aimed at reducing America’s dependence on fossil fuels. But such a move will cause ripples beyond America’s borders. It will likely impact key developing countries that have become increasingly reliant on fossil fuel imports from the booming U.S. oil and gas industry. Biden’s Clean Energy Plan In December 2020, Joe Biden appointed his climate team, which included a person who served … [Read more...]
