Like the German church in the 1930s, the American church in the 2020s is culpable for the pending devastation of human life and the collapse of a great nation. Comparisons could not be more compelling as proffered in “Letter to the American Church” by New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas. “Letter to the American Church” is a culmination of Mr. Metaxas’ in-depth understanding of the decline and fall of Germany under the Third Reich, especially as seen through the … [Read more...]
Good News, the World Is Getting Better
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...]
Floods Are Nothing New
This is a guest article by Viv Forbes. There is nothing unusual about floods, fires, droughts, homelessness, and hunger – they have always been part of the human story. But satellite technology allows us to track them better and our worldwide media revels in disaster reporting, bringing tearfully tragic scenes into every living room, every night. Population growth means that more people are affected by weather events, but there is no evidence that floods and droughts are getting … [Read more...]
Vietnam’s U-Turn on Coal Reflects Inevitable Energy Reality
Ever since signing the Paris climate agreement, Vietnam has shown interest in reducing its dependency on fossil fuels, introducing in recent years a slew of measures to cut consumption. However, in what is considered to be a major U-turn, Vietnam’s government announced last month that it will increase coal imports for the next 13 years. Critics of fossil fuels, including most mainstream media, are out of sync with the world’s energy realities. They are … [Read more...]
BBC Bear Propaganda Melts Under Analysis
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash A 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 … [Read more...]
Joe Biden’s Ad Hoc Use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Notwithstanding vociferous criticism of the politicized use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by the Biden administration, such drawdowns have been employed for decades by Democratic and Republican administrations alike as an ad hoc and futile response to short-run increases in fuel prices. Unlike the case for all previous administrations, which viewed the domestic production of fossil fuels as a positive or at least … [Read more...]
With Winter Coming, Europe Is Walking Off a Cliff
The following is a guest article by Brenda Shaffer. Facing the worst energy crisis since World War II as the cold-weather heating season starts, Europe continues to dither. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has presented a series of new European Union energy policies, including planned price caps, additional taxes on energy producers, the establishment of a new European hydrogen bank, and new support for electric vehicles. European Union member states, meanwhile, … [Read more...]
Records Show Hurricanes Neither More Frequent Nor Severe
Whereas Hurricane Ian which devasted large areas of Florida was indisputably a monster storm, a basic review of history reveals that media hype connecting it to evidence of a recent “climate change disaster” is entirely unfounded. Having said this, let’s understand that no one, much less those of us who live in Houston and other areas along the Gulf Coast, need be reminded of widespread terror and tragedy which can be wrought by a single tropical storm or hurricane event. At the same time, … [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 Hawaii As 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. … [Read more...]
