The turbulence that caused a Singapore Airlines flight to drop 6,000 feet in minutes was blamed on climate change by the hysterical media. Having killed a passenger and injured more than 70 others, the incident was one of the worst of its kind and indeed tragic. However, the connection to supposed man-made changes to the atmosphere is the fearmongering of opportunistic doomsayers. This irresponsible promotion of an absurd climate scare is more dangerous than falling airplanes because it … [Read more...]
A Tale of Two Johns as SPECs
Leave it to Joe Biden. When the 80-year-old plutocrat John Forbes Kerry steps down as Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC), he chose 75-year-old John David Podesta, Jr., to finish out the year. The two climate czars could not have come from more different beginnings. For his self-important mission to “save the planet,” Kerry has been called a “climate clown” on social media and “the Forrest Gump of Climate” by Bloomberg Media. Ever the aloof Eurocentric diplomat, Kerry never lets … [Read more...]
Counterpoint: Fossil Fuels Help the Environment
One of the biggest pushbacks to economic development today is the claim that growth destroys nature. Radical organizations like Extinction Rebellion label capitalism and agriculture as evil. The fossil-fuel industry in particular and industrialization in general are blamed for the loss of ecosystems and habitats. Mainstream media make dramatic claims that wildlife populations are in free fall worldwide, driven by human overconsumption, population growth and intensive agriculture. But … [Read more...]
‘Consumer Reports’ Jettisons Objectivity on Climate Change
Consumer Reports. You probably have heard of it, as it has been around since 1936. Since then, it has offered valuable information to assess the safety and performance of many products and services, and has come to be widely trusted. So, you can understand why we were intrigued when it issued a blurb in one of its latest newsletters about…climate change. Wait…what? Consumer Reports maintains credibility by conducting its own evaluations based on its in-house testing laboratory and … [Read more...]
Wrong, Mainstream Media, Tree Rings Aren’t Reliable Indicators of Past Temperatures
Dozens of media outlets such as ABC News, The BBC, The New York Times, and many more, hyped a study that claims summer temperatures in 2023 were unprecedented over the past 2000 years. This claim, in fact, can’t be verified by tree ring data, which isn’t that precise. Researchers are falsely assuming tree rings are reliable temperature indicators when in fact tree rings can indicate a multitude of different conditions, not just temperature. Further, the … [Read more...]
Radical Leftists Say Oil Companies Are Committing Climate Murder!
We’re constantly told fossil fuel use is causing an existential climate crisis, extreme weather, worsening wildfires, and more frequent and intense hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts. Actual temperature, storm, and other records provide no support for these claims. They certainly don’t back up ludicrous assertions that burning coal, oil, and natural gas – and even human breathing and baking pizzas in wood-fired ovens – are causing countless alleged calamities, such as slowing Earth’s … [Read more...]
Tiger Populations Depend on Conservation, Not Climate Management
Radical organizations such as Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion routinely blame the fossil fuel industry and rapid industrialization for damaging ecosystems. One such claim is that climate change is killing polar bears and myriad other species. “Climate change could wipe out one of world’s largest tiger strongholds,” claimed a headline at EarthDay.org. But how true are these assertions? As an apex predator and keystone species, tigers play a crucial role in maintaining the … [Read more...]
Brazil’s Economic Future Hinges on Fossil Fuels
Brazil’s prosperity hinges on its capacity to harness the foundational element of any economy: energy. However, for millions of Brazilians, the path to economic advancement is complicated by the hypocritical “green” agendas of leaders in developed economies that have benefited from fossil fuels since the beginning of the industrial era. As an Indian and someone with shared developmental interests in the BRICS economic bloc, I have been gratified by the hydrocarbon-driven growth of India to a … [Read more...]
China, India Break Coal Production Records
Back in April, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a new final rule that will force U.S. coal-fired power plants to install carbon capture systems or shut down operations. The rule is a key part of President Biden’s pledge to eliminate all energy sources that emit carbon dioxide by 2035 in the electricity sector and by 2050 for home heating, steel production, and all other uses. But, as Tsvetana Paraskova reported in May, the Biden Administration plan faces … [Read more...]
Florida Professor Planning ‘Encampment’ of a Different Sort
“But ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” – Acts 1:8 As a college professor concerned with the broadening of my students’ compassionate understanding of oppressed people in other parts of the world, I have spent the last several weeks helping to plan an encampment. My students and I will spend our nights in tents that I personally … [Read more...]
