I woke up this morning and learned that the United Nations has gone full existential, and African countries should be deeply offended. I wrote an piece that I’ll share with you called Western Arrogance, but even I didn’t appreciate just how arrogant the west truly is.This is disgusting and wrong. To use imagery of Africans in poverty to then suggest that signing up for climate goals will better their lives is nothing short of Malthusian. As Dr. Scott Tinker teaches, energy doesn’t end poverty, … [Read more...]

Pope Francis and President Biden met in Rome to discuss “efforts grounded in respect for fundamental human dignity,” including “tackling the climate crisis and caring for the poor.” They should have read Climate Change: The Facts 2017 before they met, especially my chapter critiquing His Holiness’s energy and climate “ethics.” A key … [Read more...]
Global Warming Alarmism Threatens Era of Energy Poverty
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call for aggressive action against a so-called climate crisis at the United Nations presages similar statements that surely will be made by the dangerously misinformed in the coming months and augurs disastrous energy policy.Humanity has to “grow up” and tackle climate change, the prime minister told world leaders assembled in New York, predicting catastrophe if warnings are ignored.“We will see desertification, drought, crop failure, and mass … [Read more...]
Coal Shortages Threaten Blackouts for 2.7 Billion Chinese and Indians
Coal shortages have struck two of the world’s biggest energy consumers, threatening power outages for 2.7 billion people and raising prices for the fossil fuel to unprecedented levels. In China, factories are shut, homes remain in darkness, and chaos ensues on roads where traffic lights fail. Coal plants that supply neighboring India with 70% of its electricity are on the brink of running out of fuel, triggering an emergency call to the government for … [Read more...]
Climate as a Public Health Issue
Never let a crisis go to waste. The Biden Administration took that advice and, on the eve of Hurricane Ida, announced that the Department of Health and Human Services had created an office for climate change – the climate is now a public health issue.“The office aims to protect vulnerable communities disproportionately affected by pollution and climate-driven disasters, including drought and wildfires,” Secretary Xavier Becerra said.However, this new mechanism to enforce socialist-style control … [Read more...]
Al Gore Offers Africa Electricity by the Spoonful
Guest column by Ken BraunAn anecdote widely attributed to (but perhaps not originating with) Milton Friedman holds that the late, great Nobel Prize laureate was touring a developing nation and happened upon a public works project. To make way for the new road or canal or whatever, platoons of workers using hand shovels were laboriously moving the dirt and rocks from one spot to another. Perplexed by this absurdly primitive approach, Friedman supposedly asked why the government wasn’t using … [Read more...]

Oil derivatives and fuel manufactured from oil were the main reasons population rose to 8 billion.United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calls the AR6 Climate Change 2021 Report, just released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a “code red for humanity“ that "must sound a death knell for … fossil fuels, before they destroy our planet.”The report fails to acknowledge that the introduction of oil just over 100 years ago has been overwhelmingly beneficial, enabling … [Read more...]
“Net Zero by 2050”: Roadmap to Conflict and Poverty
The Biden Administration wants America to make emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases amount to “net zero”—that is, for emissions and removal of GHGs to be equal—by 2050. The Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA, established in 1974 under the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development following the 1973 oil crisis to ensure that oil supplies remained secure) has released a new study purporting to show how to get there.But Dr. David Kreutzer, Senior Economist at … [Read more...]
Obama official concedes it’s impossible to predict the risks of climate change
But media, politicians, and scientists skew climate dataA review of Steven E. Koonin's Unsettled?
