In his 1968 book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, author Tom Wolfe portrayed Ken Kesey as a man seeking to create a new religion. Kesey’s followers and peers – the “Merry Pranksters” – sought to create a new society based on psychedelic transcendence. But it all started thanks to a CIA-sponsored drug study in which Kesey was given LSD. Mary Barra, the CEO of General Motors, apparently finds driving an electric vehicle (EV) to be as thrilling as one of Kesey’s LSD trips. In a … [Read more...]
Why GMO Food Crops Are a Blessing From God
Some Christians argue that Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are unsafe because they are unnatural. I'd like to challenge that thinking. I think every Christian should welcome genetically modified (GM) crops as God's gift to the world – especially to the poor. Here are some reasons to welcome GM crops in our quest to end hunger and poverty.

Senate Budget Committee Hearing: JC responds
The recent Senate hearing was a sad example of what passes for debate and deliberations by the U.S. Senate. In any event, it provides an interesting case study of why the U.S. cannot bridge the partisan divide and figure out how to deal sensibly with the climate change issue. In case you missed it, the Chair of the Senate Budget, Sheldon Whitehouse, has immortalized on youtube his questioning of me at the end of the Hearing: Chairman Whitehouse Presses GOP Witness in … [Read more...]
UN’s Climate Panic is More Politics Than Science
The following is a guest article from Judith Curry. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued a new Synthesis Report, with fanfare from the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres: “The climate time-bomb is ticking but the latest IPCC report shows that we have the knowledge & resources to tackle the climate crisis. We need to act now to ensure a livable planet in the future.” The new IPCC Report synthesizes the three reports that constitute the … [Read more...]
Epic Fail in America’s Heartland: Climate Models Greatly Overestimate Corn Belt Warming
For the last decade, I’ve been providing long-range U.S. Corn Belt forecasts to a company that monitors and forecasts global grain production and market forces. My continuing theme has been, “don’t believe gloom and doom forecasts for the future of the U.S. Corn Belt.” The climate models relied upon by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are known to overestimate warming compared to observations. Depending upon the region (global? U.S.?), temperature metric … [Read more...]
Germany’s Heating Debacle Takes on Even Greater Dimensions
The following is a guest article by Pierre Gosselin. In Germany, the Federal Ministry of Economics, headed by Robert Habeck (Green party), has “grossly miscalculated” the cost of removing oil and gas heating systems from homes and buildings and installing heat pumps in their place by 2045. Instead of a 132 billion euro bill for citizens by 2045, the real price tag will be a whopping 621 billion euros! The total real price tag for all buildings will be 776 billion euros. “According … [Read more...]
China Schemes, Biden Dreams
China’s long shadow looms across the global scene, extending far beyond its military presence stationed close by the Taiwan Strait. Barely 100 miles separate Taiwan from the Chinese mainland. It is a little island inhabited by an industrious population, home to computer chip makers and a U.S. ally that is still being governed as the Republic of China by the democratically elected successors to the Chinese Nationalists.

“Green” Energy Threatens South Korea’s Economy
Ranked 12th in per capita energy consumption in 2021, South Korea uses more than three times the global average. The country's industrial sector accounts for 40 percent of total energy consumption. Particularly energy-intensive are large industrial cities such as Ulsan and Gwangyang, home to what claims to be the world’s largest steel manufacturing plant. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash However, the country’s booming economy is now bracing to meet the impact of recently … [Read more...]
Italy Returns to Nuclear Sanity. Shouldn’t We?
The Italian parliament, demonstrating confidence in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, this week formally backed her plan to reintroduce nuclear power plants into Italy’s energy mix, reversing the nation’s 1987 moratorium on nuclear power. Meanwhile, energy-starved Germany is feeling the pinch from shuttering all of its 17 nuclear power plants. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash The U.S. has closed 11 nuclear reactors since 2013, with another eight of the 94 remaining reactors … [Read more...]
Media Ignore Delhi’s Coldest May Since 1901
On May 4, India’s capital of New Delhi recorded the third coldest May morning since 1901. At 16 degree Celsius (60 Fahrenheit), the region’s 32 million residents woke up to a relatively cold morning in what is usually the hottest month of the year. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash So why is there a record low temperature when the dominant mainstream narrative tells us climate change has warmed our environment? Is this just an aberration? While Western media obsessed over the … [Read more...]
