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...]
BBC Bear Propaganda Melts Under Analysis
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashA 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 the … [Read more...]
The Coming Green Electricity Nightmare
Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) wanted regulatory reform, in part to reverse some of the Biden Administration's reversals of Trump-era reforms intended to expedite permits for fossil fuel projects. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) needed Manchin’s vote in the 50-50 Senate to enact his latest spending extravaganza, the Inflation Reduction Act, which was primarily a massive climate and “green” energy subsidy arrangement. It gives Schumer allies some $370 billion in wind, solar, … [Read more...]
Hawaii’s Axis Deer Mismanagement is Causing an Ecological Disaster
The History of Axis Deer in HawaiiAs the 8-seat Mokulele Airlines plane approached the Molokai airport, I noticed the very overgrazed Molokai Ranch below. Surely, the ranch owners know better than to let their cattle overgraze like this. And besides, don’t they know cattle produce catastrophic levels of greenhouse gases? Why do they have so many cows? But wait, Molokai Ranch ceased most of its ranching operations back in 2008. The overgrazing was not from cattle, but deer. Thousands … [Read more...]
Denying Access to Energy: The New Normal?
Whether it’s a hot Colorado summer or a cold United Kingdom winter, the misery of “green" policies becomes an everyday reality as hapless consumers are denied access to energy. When state lawmakers and energy providers choose to increase “renewable” technologies in their energy mix, the inevitable results are grid instability, power shortages, higher prices, and a whole lot of blackout-driven chaos.Is this the new normal that the governing elites of our world want us to embrace? Then we must … [Read more...]
Arctic Ice at Decade-High Level: Can Doomsayers Explain?
With ice coverage for July and August remaining above the 10-year average of 2010-20, the extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic has surprised experts who once predicted that such levels would be impossible.This stands in stark contrast to the dominant climate narrative that predicts the dwindling of summer ice in the Arctic. Some politicians had even claimed that parts of the Arctic would be ice-free by now.With the seasonal Arctic melt technically over, it is fair to conclude that the extent … [Read more...]
Biden Energy Policies: Incoherent, Incompetent, Intolerable
The U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in West Virginia v. EPA is truly a landmark ruling. It decisively rejected the Environmental Protection Agency’s attempt to use vague, “previously little-used” language in the Clean Air Act to shutter America’s remaining coal-fired power plants and force the nation to switch to pseudo-renewable energy, in the name of ending the “manmade climate crisis.” But the decision goes much further. The Court made it clear that federal agencies may not … [Read more...]
The Great Barrier Reef Is Doing Great; People Should Know
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is, well, great. But the popular media won’t report this good news, so I will. The GBR is made up of approximately 3,000 reefs covering an area nearly the size of California off Australia’s eastern coast. The condition of its coral is frequently referenced as an indicator of the reef’s health, regularly in the context of the supposed damage global warming is doing to the planet. The reef now has more coral than any time since records began in 1986, … [Read more...]
Changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet Mass: Crisis in the Making, or Example of Uncertainty in Climate Science?
“Much climate reporting today highlights short-term changes when they fit the narrative of a broken climate but then ignores or plays down changes when they don’t, often dismissing them as ‘just weather’,” wrote theoretical physicist Steven Koonin, former Under Secretary for Science at the Department of Energy in the Obama administration, in a Wall Street Journal op-ed earlier this year. Such reporting frequently occurs regarding polar ice melt and its impact on sea-level … [Read more...]
1,500 Years Of Heatwaves
The following is a guest column from RealClimateScience.com.“Hot Weather.—Many a man has mopped his brow during the summer months of 1884, declaring it was the hottest weather the world ever knew, which, of course, would not be true, for the extreme heat in the record of the past has not been approached during the late summer.In 627, the heat was so great in France and Germany, says the London Standard, that all springs dried up; water became so scarce that many people died of thirst.In 879, … [Read more...]
