As I have previously discussed in this column, the European Union, and Germany most particularly, have gotten themselves into a self-inflicted energy shortage disaster in becoming heavily dependent upon Russian natural gas and oil while simultaneously opposing the Putin government's Ukraine invasion which they have good reason to fear may spread to NATO countries.Germany, a dominant EU economic power, relied on Russia for more than half of the natural gas and a third of the oil … [Read more...]
War on Fossil Fuels Means US Oil Sales to China — Child, Slave Labor
As a presidential candidate, Joe Biden promised to end fossil fuel use in America.Biden said, there’ll be "no more drilling," "no more pipelines."Within hours of taking office, President Biden ended construction on the Keystone XL pipeline and began imposing leasing and drilling moratoriums, slow-walking permits, pressuring banks not to fund oil companies, and taking other steps to turn his promises into policies.However, with a little boost from President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine, … [Read more...]
A Tribute to Patrick Michaels
(Listen to this article on the Cornwall Alliance’s Created to Reign podcast.)My first contact with Dr. Patrick Michaels was around 2006 or 2007, in the early, formative days of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. I had, over the previous two or three years, read at least five or six of the books he had by then written or edited on climate change, and I highly respected him as a careful, humble, yet confident scientist, fearlessly standing against “consensus” and … [Read more...]
Media Yawns as Joe Sells Petroleum Reserves to Hunter’s Ex-China Partner
According to President Joe Biden, we were told that the release of a million barrels of oil a day from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) from April onwards, “will help address supply disruptions caused by Putin's further invasion of Ukraine and the Price Hike that Americans are facing at the pump.”With average petroleum prices hitting about $5 bucks a gallon — a soaring trend that began before that invasion soon after Biden took office — evidence of any national benefits of … [Read more...]
Method In Our Science
1 Thessalonians 5:21“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”Science has an elevated position in Western society. There are those who would try to put Christians down, by saying “You have faith, but I have science”. Science, in the abstract, is therefore assumed to be the ultimate truth, and the universal standard, against which everything must be tested.This, it is suggested, is because science is tested. As a high school science teacher, I would suggest to my students that scientific … [Read more...]
UAH Global Temperature Update for June 2022: +0.06 deg. C
The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for June 2022 was +0.06 deg. C, down (again) from the May 2022 value of +0.17 deg. C.Tropical CoolnessThe tropical (20N-20S) anomaly for June was -0.36 deg. C, which is the coolest monthly anomaly in over 10 years, the coolest June in 22 years, and the 9th coolest June in the 44-year satellite record.The linear warming trend since January, 1979 still stands at +0.13 C/decade (+0.11 C/decade over the global-averaged … [Read more...]
Dark Clouds on the Horizon for Electric Vehicles
There are a couple of dark clouds hanging over the optimistic growth of electric vehicles (EV’s) that may decimate the supply chain of lithium to make the EV batteries, and how to safely transport EV’s across wide oceans.1. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is expected to classify lithium carbonate, chloride, and hydroxide as dangerous for human health. The decision is expected to be reached by early next year.2. The recent (March 2022) sinking of a cargo ship with 4,000 vehicles, from a fire … [Read more...]
EV’s Fossil Fuel Economy No Better than ICE Vehicles
Most of the electricity generated in the U.S. continues to come from fossil fuels (61% in 2021). This is not likely to change much in the future as electricity demand is increasing faster than renewables (20% of total in 2020 and 20.1% of total in 2021) can close the gap versus fossil fuels. Given that fact, it is interesting to ask the question:Which uses fossil fuels more efficiently, an EV or ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle?Most of what you will read about EVs versus ICE … [Read more...]
Denying the binary: Why socialism and sexual perversion go hand in hand
Back in 1987, World magazine published an article by veteran journalist Garry John Moes that asked, “Is there a connection between Socialist doctrine and the homosexual rights movement?”That striking lead disturbed me. While the article presented clear evidence that there is, in fact, such a connection, it didn’t answer a corollary question: Why is there a connection between homosexuality and socialism?Why, for instance, did Plato endorse both socialism and … [Read more...]
In Pandering to the Green Left, Biden Is Underwriting China’s Genocide of Uyghurs
Last June, the Biden administration was so concerned about China's use of Uyghur Muslim slave labor to produce the polysilicon needed for solar panels that it imposed bans on imports of that product from some Chinese manufacturers.But that was last year before the domestic solar industry went into free fall due to a Commerce Department investigation into allegations of dumping that effectively halted the import of solar panels from four southeast Asia countries that were accused of … [Read more...]
