As the Paris climate agreement pushes for more and more renewable installments globally, reports of failure of installed renewables, especially wind and solar, are also becoming increasingly common.Nobody wishes for wind and solar to fail. After all, billions of dollars have been invested in them. I, like many others, desire to see renewables strengthen the existing energy infrastructure globally.Sadly, and inevitably, though, the drawbacks and limitations of wind and solar keep resurfacing, no … [Read more...]
Expensive climate change programs hurt the poor most
A new study confirms what conservatives have long suspected: Expensive climate change programs, such as the Green New Deal, would hurt the poor the most.Researchers from the Euro-Mediterranean Center for Climate Change estimate that if every country participating in the Paris climate accord actually fulfilled its greenhouse gas emission reduction pledges, more than 3 million people will be pushed into poverty. That’s on top of the 1 billion people around the world who still don’t … [Read more...]
A Sad Tale of a Wealthy Millennial’s Moral Confusion
This article was originally published in the American Spectator where it remained in the top 5 articles read multiple days in a row.A few years back my wife heard a young woman share that she had felt guilty for being able to go out to dinner with friends in Chicago because she knew her mother, in South Africa, was struggling to scrape together her own supper.When she had told her mother this during a phone call, her mother had rebuked her. “How dare you spit in God’s face!”Instead, … [Read more...]
Climate Alarmists in Denial about “97% Consensus”
Dana Nuccitelli, than whom it would be difficult to find a more strident or persistent advocate of global warming alarmism, is upset (as usual).Why?He is shocked---shocked!---to find that "Millions of times later, 97 percent climate consensus still faces denial." Some people, despite having been castigated for it for over a decade, continue to "deny" that there is a "97% consensus" about manmade global warming.The spur for his latest tantrum, published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, … [Read more...]
Green Is the New Black: But What Does ‘Going Green’ Really Mean?
Green is the new black. If you say a particular color is “the new black,” you mean it has become fashionable.Sustainable living, vegan food, eco-friendly lifestyle, opposition to plastics, and reducing your carbon footprint are the new love-language of Green living.The 21st-century environmental movement is impossible to miss. So much so, environmental policies have now become a key political issue.The most talked about policy in the United States is the Green New Deal, which proposes, among … [Read more...]
El Paso Shooter’s Extreme Environmentalism Deserves Condemnation
The manifesto that the El Paso shooter posted before his deadly rampage reveals that, along with hate for immigrants, he held a radicalized view of mankind’s relationship to nature. The manifesto itself was titled “The Inconvenient Truth About Me,” an apparent homage to the many false narratives presented in Al Gore’s climate “documentary.” The first two sentences pretty much sum up the four-page screed: “In general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto. This attack is a … [Read more...]
Fighting Malaria with DDT and Infertile Mosquitoes: You Can Help!
Dear Friends:What time is it? Take a look and see for sure. I’ll tell you later why.About a decade ago one of my sons, just turned nineteen, spent eight months assisting Christian missionaries in Ethiopia and Uganda. He saw how some of the world’s poorest people suffer—yet also how they can experience joy through knowing Christ. He actually saw a witch doctor converted. He saw people healed of terrible diseases by medical missionaries, children learning to read and write in mission schools, … [Read more...]
Solar Energy’s Surprising Sources
Whenever I hear someone praising solar energy or electric cars to the exclusion of fossil fuels, the pragmatist in me cringes.Aside from the fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants and possibly the formation of methane deep in the earth's core from “non-biological processes … creating stable reserves of fuel within the much more extreme conditions of Earth's mantle,” virtually all of the power we depend on comes from the sun.The Earth's vast resources of fossil fuels—crude oil, … [Read more...]
Why Predictions of 187 Million Refugees from Sea-Level Rise Are Nonsense
Imagine that you live in a $450,000 home situated along a stream out in the country. With very heavy rains, the stream rises about three feet, but your home is two feet above that level.One day, though, upstream, a landslide changes the flow of another stream. It previously fed into your stream below your home. Now it feeds into it upstream. So now your stream's normal level is three feet higher than before, which means that with a three-foot rise from a heavy rain you'll have a foot of water in … [Read more...]
Reviving the Heart of the Earth: Energy Liberation in Africa
Poets call Africa the heart of the earth. It is, both geographically and biologically. Yet, it remains the most underdeveloped continent. Only a handful of nations in the continent have become economically competitive with their European counterparts.South Africa is one such nation. When it comes to economic development, Nigeria and South Africa are the two most developed nations in Africa.South Africa has everything that makes it comparable to a developed Western nation. Better standard of … [Read more...]
