Thailand’s Tiger Turnaround Contradicts Climate Fearmongering

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...]

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...]
Get Ready for Another Pointless United Nations Climate Conference
The United Nations Climate Conference begins November 30 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). More than 70,000 delegates are expected to attend from almost 200 nations. The COP28 event will emit large amounts of carbon dioxide but is unlikely to have any measurable effect on global temperatures. COP28 is the 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties, an annual event that has been going on since 1995. The Conference of the Parties is the decision-making body of the Framework Convention … [Read more...]
Need We Fear Another Ice Age? A Review of Following Jesus in a Warming World
The title of this review may be confusing considering that it is an assessment of the book Following Jesus in a Warming World: A Christian Call to Climate Action by Kyle Meyaard-Schaap (IVP, Downers Grove, IL, February 2023). However, “Need We Fear Another Ice Age?” is the title of a Christian tract written by Walter Lang and Vic Lockman to comfort Christians and witness to others at a time in the 1970s when scientists and the public were expecting the return of a planetary freeze.I … [Read more...]

The Entanglement of Truth and Science: A Nobel Laureate’s Advice to Students
The following is a guest article by Ron Barmby.Dr. John Clauser is an experimental physicist and of the highest order.His 2022 Nobel Prize in physics is enough to make him one of the preeminent scientists of our times. His work confirmed the existence of quantum entanglement—that two particles once linked remain linked no matter how far apart they are pulled. A change in one linked particle still affects the other linked particle.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashA peer of Clauser’s said the … [Read more...]
