Some folks only learn through experience. That can be a tough process. Far better to learn from those who learned the hard way—and gain knowledge from observing others. Your state might want to keep that in mind when it comes to the electric-bus fad.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashIn August, Delaware Governor John Carney (D) signed into law House Bill 10, which “establishes targets for annual purchase of electric school buses through fiscal year 2030.” Like Delaware’s school bus fleet, … [Read more...]
Legal Hunting Reduces Deer Collisions and Should Be Encouraged

Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashA Cornell University study explored the growing problem of individual or small groups of deer venturing onto our highways. Collisions are usually … [Read more...]
Beijing’s Coal Boom Is Here to Stay
News of record installations of so-called renewable energy electric generation in China may have kindled the hopes of those supporting the “green” agenda and hostile to fossil fuels. However, China is in no position to give up hydrocarbons, particularly coal.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashDuring the first half of 2023, China approved 52 gigawatts (GW) of new coal power, which was more than all the approvals issued in 2021. These new approvals are in addition to the 136 GW of coal capacity … [Read more...]
Bad Climate Data Brings Wrong Conclusions
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashTwo new internationally peer-reviewed studies published in major scientific journals have documented misleading Northern Hemisphere temperature data and attribution analyses indicating inadequate considerations of Urban Heat Island (UHI) influences on climate records and dominant influences of the sun in producing warming and cooling changes.Published in August by the journal Climate, the first of these studies concludes that global warming influences … [Read more...]
Thailand’s Tiger Turnaround Contradicts Climate Fearmongering
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashThailand’s protected forest areas are home to the Indochinese tiger, known by their biological name Panthera tigris corbetti. Recent population numbers suggest that the tiger is making a comeback. Tiger populations in two of Thailand’s wildlife sanctuaries grew from 42 in 2012 to about 100 in 2022. The resurgence is one more conservation success story that defies the climate-obsessed mainstream media's doomsday narrative, which has been blaming … [Read more...]
Papers Point to Urban Heat Islands for 2023’s Hot Summer Temperatures
Writing in American Thinker, Mark Adams notes that although 2023’s summer was hotter than normal, as the mainstream media voluminously report, three recent papers published in respected peer-reviewed journals have concluded that much of the hyped heat was a result of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, with compromised ground-based temperature stations in expanding urban and suburban areas biasing the local and thus global averaged temperatures upward. As Adams writes:Although urban areas occupy … [Read more...]
Indonesia Shelves Decarbonization for Prosperity and Security
Over the past few decades, Indonesia, an archipelagic nation made up of over 17,000 islands, has seen amazing economic progress. The strategic utilization of fossil fuels is a key factor at the center of this growth.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashIndonesia is a significant user of coal and the world’s third-largest producer of the mineral. But just like other countries, it faces immense pressure from entities like the United Nations and anti-fossil fuel leaders in the West to reduce the … [Read more...]

The following is a guest article by Alex Newman. Leading voices in the climate science community are in an uproar as their warming hypothesis is coming under fresh assault by new scientific papers.The authors of the papers are being attacked and say that “activist scientists” threatened by the new findings are “aggressively conducting an orchestrated disinformation campaign to discredit the papers and the scientific reputation of the authors.”Indeed, from insults on social media … [Read more...]
Why Young Evangelicals Are in Danger of Becoming Puppets for Climate Marxism
The following is a guest article by Jason Mattera.The phrase “useful idiot” referred to those individuals during the Cold War who unwittingly disseminated communist propaganda (American liberals), even if they weren’t commies themselves.Naïfs, in other words. Major-league naïfs.Today, there appears to be a growing number of young evangelicals who are intent on proving this catchphrase true — locking arms with a worldwide movement devoted to the eradication of private property, limited … [Read more...]
Without Crude Oil, There Can Be No Electricity
Over the last 200 years, after the discovery of crude oil, the world's population has increased from 1 to 8 billion. Today, all the electricity generation options available, such as wind turbines, solar panels, nuclear power, hydropower, coal, and natural gas, depend on the products and components manufactured from crude oil to generate electricity.Image: Creative Commons via UnsplashLooking back, the history of the petroleum industry illustrated that crude oil was virtually useless unless … [Read more...]
