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...]
Michael Bloomberg’s $1 Billion Assault on The Electric Grid
Climate-related philanthropy in America has been hijacked by a radical agenda that will hurt the affordability, reliability, and resilience of the U.S. electric grid.More proof of that hijacking came when mega-billionaire Michael Bloomberg announced that Bloomberg Philanthropies would give $500 million to the Beyond Carbon campaign. The goal of the effort is to shutter the bulk of our most important power plants — the ones that burn coal and natural gas and are therefore dispatchable and … [Read more...]
A New Global Urban Heat Island Dataset: Global Grids of the Urban Heat Island Effect on Air Temperature, 1800-2023
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. As a follow-on to our paper submitted on … [Read more...]
California Continues to Be a National Security Risk for America
Historically, California has been successfully reducing in-state oil production over the decades and has increased crude oil imports from foreign countries from 5 percent in 1992 to more than 75 percent today to meet the California consumption demand. Governor Gavin Newsom, by continually seeking further decreases of in-state oil production, Newsom’s emissions policies continue to force California, the 4th largest economy in the world, to be the only state in contiguous America that imports … [Read more...]
World Leaders Ignore Growing Safety Issues with Green Energy
The nations of the world are pursuing an unprecedented energy transition. Efforts are underway to force a shift from coal, oil, and natural gas to renewable energy sources by 2050. However, key elements of the proposed transition suffer from major safety issues. These are batteries for electric vehicles and electricity storage and hydrogen fuels for industry. Most energy sources involve safety risks. Gasoline cars can explode or burn, especially after collisions. Natural gas pipelines and … [Read more...]
Electric Truck Conundrums
The California GREEN movement, at any cost, is progressing at warp speed.Image: Creative Commons via UnsplashEarlier this year, California passed regulations that would turn the trucking industry upside down. Zero emission mandates would disrupt the industry, raise shipping costs, and put trucking companies out of business. A group including 19 states and several trucking organizations recently filed suit to block the California regulation.A little background on the EV Truck mandate: … [Read more...]
