The following is a guest article by Linnea Lueken and H. Sterling BurnettA recent post at The Nation titled “Climate Change Is the Real National Security Threat” claims that climate change is the reason hurricanes Helene and Milton were so damaging and that it is the premier national security threat to the United States. This is nonsense. Not only is there no evidence supporting the idea that climate change is “supercharging” hurricanes, but contrary to The Nation’s assertions, mass migration … [Read more...]
U.K. Government Pours Big Sums into Latest UN Crackdown on Climate Dissent
The following is a guest article by Chris Morrison. The British Government is one of the main financial backers of a new international campaign designed to suppress online climate science scepticism ahead of next year’s ‘make-or-break’ COP30 in Brazil. Run by the United Nations and UNESCO, the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change was signed off at the recent G20 Summit in Brazil. Part of its remit will fund non-profit outfits rooting out so-called … [Read more...]
Some Suggestions on Climate and Environmental Policy for the New Sheriff in Town
President-elect Donald Trump’s overwhelming electoral victory and his winning of the popular vote gives him a mandate to move forward with his agenda, not the least of which on the climate and energy deregulatory agenda he promoted during his campaign.In anticipation of Trump’s victory, a coalition of groups—among them the Heartland Institute, E&E Legal Institute, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), Truth in Energy and Climate, and The American Energy Institute—assembled a … [Read more...]
Will Wind and Solar Hammer Hydro in Washington State?
All around America there is an avalanche of proposed wind and solar projects. The idea is to replace fossil-fueled electric power, which is the dominant source in most places. Some States even have laws to this effect.Setting aside that this is an impossible goal it is interesting, even amusing, to see how this avalanche might play out in Washington State. The majority of their power comes from hydro, but wind and solar power are poised to wipe that out as well. This is an objective losing its … [Read more...]
Climate Journalism, Increasingly Bought and Paid For
I have written a couple of times previously about the mainstream media’s outside-funded collaboration to promote climate alarm. For example, the Associated Press took millions of dollars from left-wing foundations specifically to cover climate change.Journalistic creed and ethics be damned, media outlets collaborated to suppress voices of dissent, first about climate change, then about the Wuhan coronavirus and the government’s response to it, election integrity, and a variety of other … [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...]
Why Are Renewable Equipment Companies Such Poor Investments?
Headlines promote renewable energy equipment companies as part of efforts to transition to Net Zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Wind and solar system providers, electric vehicle manufacturers, green hydrogen producers, and other green equipment firms form a growing share of world industry. But renewable equipment firms suffer poor market returns, so investors should beware. The Renewable Energy Industrial Index (RENIXX) is a global stock index of the 30 largest renewable energy … [Read more...]
Scrap Green Energy Handouts Once and For All
As the presidential election nears, it is reasonable to ask why the U.S. continues to give away billions to “avert” a fabricated climate crisis to countries that have little interest in participating in the charade beyond accepting handouts. The United States has been a significant contributor to global climate initiatives, most notably through its involvement in the Paris Agreement. At the 15th U.N. Climate Conference in 2009, rich countries pledged to provide $100 billion a year in … [Read more...]
Banana Waste for Synfuels Has An Increasing Appeal
Scientists from the United Kingdom’s Northumbria University (located in historic Newcastle, once the center of the British coal industry) and their partners in Pakistan are converting banana waste into eco-friendly textiles and clean energy, according to Shubhangi Dua, writing in Interesting Engineering.According to the report, banana farming in Pakistan creates 80 million tons of agricultural waste that can be converted into 57,488 million cubic meters of syngas – enough to … [Read more...]
Electric Power vs. Green Goals
“The green movement calls for a shutdown of coal and gas power plants. At the same time, it demands a switch to electric vehicles, electric home appliances, and green hydrogen produced by power-intensive electrolyzers. This and the AI revolution portend a breakdown of the so-called energy transition.”Twenty-three states have adopted goals to move to 100 percent clean energy by 2050. State governments propose to retire coal- and gas-fired power plants and adopt wind and solar systems. … [Read more...]
