The elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss is that crude oil is the foundation of our materialistic society as it is the basis of all products and fuels demanded by the 8 billion people on this planet. As a reality check for those pursuing net-zero emissions, wind and solar do different things than crude oil. Unreliable renewables, like wind turbines and solar panels, only generate occasional electricity but manufacture no products for society. Crude oil has virtually never been … [Read more...]
Mr. Bean Was Right – and So Was Toyota
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...]
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...]
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. 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.Since few people who … [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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
