The economic forecast this year is bleak, no matter where you are. When faced with an uncertain future, economies usually opt for their best bet. For many countries, when it comes to energy source, that safe house is coal. Yes, the dreaded fossil fuel that doomsayers believe to be the planet destroyer. Coal is being

For some seeking attention — or possibly grant money — bad news can never be bad enough without adding a bit of global-warming hysteria. The southwestern United States is undergoing one of its worst droughts in 1,200 years and it is being made worse by man-made climate change. So says a new study released in the journal

Socialist radical environmentalists are repeating history again, eating one of their own, in this case far-left filmmaker and Bernie Sanders supporter Michael Moore. They are trying to destroy the progressive documentarian for honestly pointing out the hypocrisy and lies behind the push for green energy. Even though America’s free-market economy has made him a multimillionaire,

In the first several weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, the media alternated between providing information on the scope and possible dreadful consequences of the contagion and vilifying President Trump over his supposed failures in managing the pandemic.

The world is in the middle of the coronavirus crisis and economies are crashing. No one expects doomsayers to talk about climate change at times like these. But that’s exactly what some people have done. In their relentless pursuit to promote the doomsday agenda, doomsayers inculcate the masses with more misleading information on climate change.
