European colonialism, which methodically extracted wealth from Africa until the system’s collapse in the last century, has been replaced by climate colonialism that stifles the economic development that the Dark Continent desperately needs. A highly political climate industrial complex enables Western governments and international bodies like the United Nations to exert soft power over poorer countries’ energy policies. Advancing a so-called green agenda in the name of saving humanity from a … [Read more...]
The Folly of Electrifying America’s Military Forces
Have you seen the viral video of Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg calling for “vegan grenades,” “battery-powered fighter jets,” “biodegradable missiles”? It’s a deep-fake parody, a satire. But, sad to say, it’s not that far from reality in the minds of some U.S. military policymakers. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin said in 2021, “We face all kinds of threats in our line of work, but few of them truly deserve to be called existential. The climate crisis … [Read more...]
Frivolous Climate Diversion in the Face of Real Disaster
Before Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida, the media chorus linked “an historic” storm to climate change and warned of even greater catastrophes in the future. For all the noise, Hurricane Milton was downgraded to a Category 3 storm that was bad enough if not apocalyptic for most. Nonetheless, the media rant about a climate crisis will not stop. This alarmism feeds off the emotional intensity inherent to a human response to natural disasters. But this … [Read more...]
Left’s Climate and EV Craze Couldn’t Make China Happier
We can safely bet that no one is more gleeful about America’s leadership vacuum than President Xi Jinping, of China. Why? The possibility of a Harris-Walz administration continuing in the rutted green energy tracks of the of the former Biden-Harris White House, while embracing the trading away of American energy independence. A scenario for reliance upon imported rare earth minerals needed for transitioning away from petroleum fueled cars to electric vehicles (EVs). China’s Communist … [Read more...]
How Can the Church Navigate Climate Confusion While Fostering Human Development?
In recent years, controversy over climate change has created significant confusion and division among Christians. Conflicting voices in the evangelical community have made the issue even more difficult. Our response should be grounded in Biblical principles, scientific understanding, and a commitment to human flourishing. In this article, we will aim to clear the air and promote an appropriate response by addressing three distinct perspectives that have emerged: forecasting an imminent global … [Read more...]
Repeal Biden’s Entire Destructive Climate Change Program
This piece originally appeared at WashingtonExaminer.com and has been republished here with permission. The following is a guest article by David M. Simon The next president and Congress should repeal every aspect of the Biden administration’s climate change legislative and regulatory program.

It should never have been pursued, moreover, because … [Read more...]
Awaiting the Death of Climate Skeptics
This blog received the following comment from our alarmist friend David Appell, freelance writer: “Roy, nobody who is serious about climate change takes you seriously. You’re a denier who has made too many mistakes. No one who knows anything is going to bother commenting here–they upset you so much that all you can think to do is block them. You long ago left the realm of science. As they say, science advances one funeral at a time. Nobody believes your time series anyway. You did that to … [Read more...]

“Green” Objectives Stifle Economic Growth in the Developing World
The following is a guest article by Ronald Stein, Dr. Robert Jeffrey, and Olivia Vaughan. About 80% of the globe’s 8 billion people live in less developed countries. Much of Africa and South-East Asia are prime examples of this, as are the Pacific Ocean Island states. The people in those countries might live on less than $10 per day. Still, the greater problem is that they have little or no access to reliable electricity or to the many products manufactured using fossil fuels and their … [Read more...]
U.S. Swings and Misses in Energy Competition
The following is a guest article by Dr. Wallace Manheimer. Who can develop reliable, cheap, clean power? In the parlance of baseball, the U.S. led early with a leadoff home run. It invented, developed and perfected the first ultra-super critical (USC) coal-powered plant. Coming online in 2012, the 600-megawatt (MW) John W. Turk Jr. Coal Plant in Arkansas employed new technology, most notably, an advance in metallurgy that allowed pipes and boilers to operate for extended periods at … [Read more...]
