The Weather isn’t Getting Worse. The Lawsuits Are

By /

The following is a guest article by Angela Wheeler. Rather than a serious assessment of the connection between extreme weather and climate change, a recent National Academies of Sciences (NAS) webinar presented a 253-page report engineered to reinforce the shopworn claim that emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) threaten a climate crisis.  The hour-long presentation was as thin on real science as the self-congratulations were […]

India To Climate Cartel: Count Us Out

By /

Sometimes a story gets buried not because editors conspire against it, but because the news cycle has room for only one crisis at a time. This year the big news has been the Iran war. But even accounting for competing headlines, the silence around a genuinely consequential development is telling.   And that is the story of India’s explicit rejection of

USGCRP’s Fresh Head Brings Fresh Air To US Climate Science

By /

The United States Global Change Research Program, or the USGCRP, was disbanded early last year.  Created by an act of Congress in 1990, the goal of the USGCRP was to coordinate federal research and investments across fifteen federal member agencies to present a whole-of-government face to the federal government’s position on global environmental change.  Now

EU’s Pretense of ‘Transition’ Leadership Is an Economic Loser

By /

An Energy Institute report reveals a Europe clinging to the pretense of leading an “energy transition” as the continent declines under the weight of climate policies whose quixotically utopian objectives are negated elsewhere by fossil fuel-supported economic growth.  Data from the 75th edition of the annual “Statistical Review of World Energy” will surprise only those ignoring the facts: The world continues to depend massively on fossil fuels. Solar and wind technologies, while

How Christians Drink their Coffee: Enjoying America’s Favorite Beverage without Compromising Economics, Ethics, or Ecology

By /

The following is a guest article by Xandra Grieme. As I held the coffee leaf in my hands, I felt useless. After long days of trekking through the Honduran jungles, I was tired. My feet had carried me to places that only ATVs or horses could reach—to the remotest mountain villages of the region.  I was there to meet

G7 Climate Realism Signals Policy Progress

By /

The June G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, marked a major pivot. Driven by severe energy and commodity shocks stemming from the conflict in the Middle East—specifically transit disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—G7 leaders overwhelmingly prioritized energy security, price insulation, and survival of the fossil fuel supply chain over aggressive timelines for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.   Who could have predicted that, rather than condemning

They Knew: Impossible Climate Model Scenario Widely Used, Despite Known Flaws

By /

For more than a decade, the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5), the high-emissions climate-model scenario, dominated climate research and policy, treated as the “business-as-usual” pathway. It projected global temperatures to rise by 4.3℃ or more by 2100. Many climate researchers were on the record noting from the outset that RCP8.5 was “implausible” and shouldn’t be

An Imperfect World That Is Better Than Ever 

By /

Much of the world was optimistic after a peace deal ended months of conflict in the Middle East that had disrupted the global oil trade. But peace in that region has long been a tenuous matter, and how long it lasts is anybody’s guess. Nonetheless, there are other reasons for optimism that are not subject to the vagaries of geopolitics.  For the past two decades, the media have reported a “climate crisis” with a conviction that presumed dissent to be insane
