When auto (even EV driving) enthusiast Rowan Atkinson – Mr. Bean to his fans – last June wrote in The Guardian that there are “sound environmental reasons” why “keeping your old petrol car may be better than buying an EV,” he was vilified as a eco-traitor.Atkinson had added, “We’re realizing that a wider range of options need to be explored if we’re going to properly address the very serious environmental problems that our use of the motor car has created.” These include, he said, hydrogen fuel … [Read more...]
No Climate Crisis for Thriving Honeybees
Writing anything good about climate change runs the risk of the writer getting lynched metaphorically by the online enforcers of a cultist apocalyptic narrative. For years, doomsayers have insisted that polar bears are in danger of extinction because of man-made warming even as experts have shown that populations have actually increased. So much so, that the native Inuit people in Arctic Canada want an increase in hunting quotas.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashLikewise, I’ve documented how … [Read more...]
Wind and Solar Slaughtering India’s Iconic Bird
By commissioning expensive and inefficient wind and solar electric generating facilities, India may have dug the grave of its own efforts to save the critically endangered great Indian bustard. Erected to avert a faux climate crisis, the so-called renewable machines and their attendant transmission lines are helping to drive one of Earth’s largest flying birds to the brink of extinction.Photo: Creative Commons under UnsplashAvian aficionados such as myself have long bemoaned prioritizing wind … [Read more...]
‘Demographic Warming’: Humans Increasingly Choose to Live Where It’s Warmer
This is the second of a series of articles in which Cornwall Alliance board member and senior fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer explains the importance of distinguishing urban heat island effect from global temperature increase and of recognizing that by choosing to live in warmer regions of the world and in cities rather than in cooler and rural or wilderness areas, people demonstrate their preference for warmer temperatures. You can find the first article here, and the second here. and the third … [Read more...]
Examples from our New UAH Urban Heat Island Dataset
This is the second of a series of articles in which Cornwall Alliance board member and senior fellow Dr. Roy W.

You can find the first article here, and the second here.Since few people who … [Read more...]
Climate Agenda Makes Vital CO2 a Dangerous Pollutant
To get some sense of powerful political agenda influences on global climate and environmental policies, it's instructive to revisit the acid rain hysteria of the late 1960s, which led quite directly to the demonization of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a "climate pollutant."Photo: Creative Commons under UnsplashThis second manufactured scare continues today, thanks to active assistance from "experts" who should — many probably do — know better.Both agendas have involved the same sorts of … [Read more...]
Crude Oil Isn’t Going Away Soon
We’ve become a very materialistic society over the last 200 years, and the world has populated from 1 to 8 billion because of more than 6,000 useful products and different fuels for planes, ships, trucks, cars, military, and the space program made from crude oil that did not exist before the 1800’s.Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash. As a refresher for those pursuing net-zero emissions, wind and solar do different things than crude oil.Today’s policymakers do not understand that everything … [Read more...]
Sorry Biden, CO2 Is Not Pollution. It’s The Currency Of Life
The following is a guest article by Joseph Fournier. I don’t know about you, but I am tired of being bombarded everyday by the claim that CO2 is a pollutant and that as a polluter I must pay.I seriously doubt the average person would accept this perspective, if they understood that CO2 is in fact a prerequisite of Life, and that global food production will expand by trillions of dollars in the coming decades as CO2 levels continue to rise.Even fewer would accept CO2 as a pollutant … [Read more...]
Naked Power: Now Gov Wants to Regulate Our Clothes — in Climate’s Name
The following is a guest article by Selwyn DukeOne generally unmentioned reason prices are so high is that government taxation and regulation increase businesses’ costs, which then are handed down to consumers. A prime example is a regulation dictating that not only must a herring fishing vessel have a federal monitor aboard, but that its owner also must pay the cost of the observer, which reportedly can be $710 a day (this requirement is currently before the Supreme Court). And now there’s … [Read more...]
Prayer for Revival Based on Psalm 8
The following is a guest article by T. M. MooreImage: Creative Commons under Unsplash It was because God so loved the world (the cosmos) that He sent Jesus for its redemption.Psalm 8 reminds us that God has filled the world, from the vault of heaven to the most helpless babe in arms, with His majesty, splendor, glory, and might, the awareness of which is powerful even to silence the adversaries of the Lord.In the midst of this glorious splendor and beauty, God has appointed human beings as … [Read more...]
