The following is a guest article by Mark P. Mills. If you want to know what’s being unleashed by the rush to mandate electric cars for a so-called clean-energy transition, read “Cobalt Red.” It will leave you almost as shaken as its author, Siddharth Kara, who braved lawless militia and state-backed soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo as he visited the fountainheads of the world’s lithium-battery supply chain.Mr. Kara, a professor of human trafficking and modern slavery at Nottingham … [Read more...]
Here’s a Real Superhero for Your Kids to Imitate!

Not that they’d do the same kind of work, but that they’d cultivate the same self-discipline, the same determination to serve others, the same humility.In the United States, he won the … [Read more...]
‘Vanishing Habitats’ for Wildlife Greatly Exaggerated in Push for ‘Biodiversity,’ Biden’s ’30 by 30′ Land Grab
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashThe following is a guest article by Rob Gordon.

The Economic Case for Net Zero Is Zero
Implementing net zero will depress the global economy more than the atmospheric warming that the campaign against carbon dioxide emissions is supposed to prevent, according to a comparison of research by recognized experts. In other words, abandoning efforts to eliminate the greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuels likely would make virtually everybody richer.The comparison is presented in a short 12-minute video titled “How human disruptions impact GDP” by Dr. Lars Schernikau, an energy … [Read more...]
Achieving Net Zero
According to the clerics of the Green Cult, once we blow up our last coal mine, send all diesel engines to the wreckers, stop using concrete, reinvent sailing clippers, cover the grasslands with solar clutter and the hills with wind machines and then slaughter all of our cattle. . . global climate will become serene - not too warm, not too cold.

Australia’s Great Coral Reef Is Alive and Well. Why Hide That Fact?
(This file has been updated.) Peter Ridd, who examined current data about Australia’s Great Coral Reef, demolishes fears that the reef is sick or dying. He asks why the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) is obscuring that fact by failing to aggregate the data.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashHowever, perhaps recognizing that Ridd (a controversial figure) was studying the reef, AIMS has just announced that two-thirds of the reef has the most coral cover it has since recording … [Read more...]

Should We Trust the UN’s “Climate Science”?
This is a guest article by Donna Laframboise.Last summer the National Association of Evangelicals, an organization largely in America but with some representation in my country, Canada, published a report that urges Christians to care deeply about climate change. Titled Loving the Least of These, it relies on the work of a United Nations (UN) entity to make its case.Having written two books about that entity—the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—I was sorry to … [Read more...]

The Irony of Blaming Billionaires for CO2 Emissions
Listen to a version of this article: Did you know that a billionaire is responsible for a million times more carbon dioxide emissions than the average person?That's the conclusion of a new report from Oxfam, an 80-year-old movement with 21 independent charitable organizations around the world that supposedly focus on alleviating global poverty. But Oxfam's fixation on climate change suggests that it suffers from mission creep – mission creep that undermines its stated purpose.A … [Read more...]
