USGCRP’s Fresh Head Brings Fresh Air To US Climate Science

The United States Global Change Research Program, or the USGCRP, was disbanded early last year.  Created by an act of Congress in 1990, the goal of the USGCRP was to coordinate federal research and investments across fifteen federal member agencies to present a whole-of-government face to the federal government’s position on global environmental change.  Now […]

EU’s Pretense of ‘Transition’ Leadership Is an Economic Loser

An Energy Institute report reveals a Europe clinging to the pretense of leading an “energy transition” as the continent declines under the weight of climate policies whose quixotically utopian objectives are negated elsewhere by fossil fuel-supported economic growth.  Data from the 75th edition of the annual “Statistical Review of World Energy” will surprise only those ignoring the facts: The world continues to depend massively on fossil fuels. Solar and wind technologies, while

An Imperfect World That Is Better Than Ever 

Much of the world was optimistic after a peace deal ended months of conflict in the Middle East that had disrupted the global oil trade. But peace in that region has long been a tenuous matter, and how long it lasts is anybody’s guess. Nonetheless, there are other reasons for optimism that are not subject to the vagaries of geopolitics.  For the past two decades, the media have reported a “climate crisis” with a conviction that presumed dissent to be insane

Is “The Plastic Detox” Pro-Life?

Few documentaries have captured the internet’s attention quite like The Plastic Detox. But what makes it so compelling is not just its subject matter. It is the moral confusion at its core. In trying to diagnose a crisis of human fertility, the film inadvertently exposes something deeper: a culture that increasingly treats children as objects of adult entitlement rather

Glyphosate, Agricultural Productivity, and Food Security: A Risk Based Policy Assessment in the Context of Modern Food Systems 

Executive Summary  Glyphosate is among the most consequential agricultural technologies introduced in the past halfcentury. Its widespread adoption has reshaped weed management, reduced tillage, stabilized yields, and lowered production costs across much of global agriculture. At the same time, glyphosate has become a focal point of public controversy, driven by hazardbased classifications, litigation, and advocacy campaigns that often

Will the US Senate Stall Much-Needed Permitting Reforms?

In a last-gasp flurry of activity, the 119th House of Representatives in December moved forward a bevy of bills aimed at shortening the time frame and the costs required for federal permits for infrastructure projects, many of which are deemed vital to national security. That’s the good news. The bad news is that these bills

A Religious Spin on Climate Change

Watch out, world — here comes the God-spin on climate change inspired by the UN’s 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30). COP30 wrapped up last month with an offering of the usual suspects: socialist solutions for acolytes to advocate. According to UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell, during the “high-level closing event at COP30 in Belém, Brazil,

A Nuclear Resurgence, But Major Obstacles Remain

The first commercial nuclear plant started operation at Calder Hall in England in 1956. By 1970, reactors were in construction around the world. Many predicted that atomic energy would generate most of the world’s power by 2000. In 1973, President Richard Nixon stated, “It is estimated that nuclear power will provide more than one-quarter of the

Latest Science Further Exposes Lies About Rising Seas 

It’s all too predictable: A jet-setting celebrity or politician wades ceremoniously into hip-deep surf for a carefully choreographed photo op, while proclaiming that human-driven sea-level rise will soon swallow an island nation. Of course, the water is deeper than the video’s pseudoscience, which is as shallow as the theatrics.  The scientific truth is simple: Sea levels
