An average American may not realize that the chances of bagging a buck on the highway while driving are much greater than when hunting with a rifle in hand. Deer hunting seasons are now open in a majority of our states. But it is many the unfortunate driver who has already slain a deer with a vehicle. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash A Cornell University study explored the growing problem of individual or small groups of deer venturing onto our highways. Collisions are … [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 Unsplash During 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 … [Read more...]
Bad Climate Data Brings Wrong Conclusions
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash Two 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 … [Read more...]
Africa Doesn’t Need Western Elites’ Meaningless Climate Policies
African priorities differ from those of Europe and North America. Among the Dark Continent’s most daunting challenges are poverty, malnutrition, lack of healthcare and proper education, unemployment, inferior transportation infrastructure, and underdeveloped technologies for energy, information, and communications. Image: Creative Commons via Unsplash Therefore, Africans do not have the option to adopt unscientific and unachievable climate policies that address none of these issues in a … [Read more...]
Thailand’s Tiger Turnaround Contradicts Climate Fearmongering
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash Thailand’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 Unsplash Indonesia 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 … [Read more...]
Era of ‘Unquestioned and Unchallenged’ Climate Change Claims Is Over
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 … [Read more...]
Electric Vehicles Are Much More Costly than Commonly Claimed
Electric Vehicles (EV) have been much in the headlines recently, from stories detailing the difficulties with charging them to losses suffered by major automakers pushing them at the behest of the Biden administration, to EV fires, the dependence on China for critical components used in EVs including their batteries, range and function issues, and beyond. I have discussed the myriad problems with EVs on multiple occasions in recent months. For instance, I addressed a range of concerns in … [Read more...]
Ninety-Nine Percent Consensus? Not so, Says New Analysis
A new study published in the journal Climate by a group of researchers from various universities and research institutes in Israel (Dentelski, et al.) debunks a study in another journal that claimed support for the theory humans are causing dangerous climate change “anthropogenic global warming” (AGW) tops 99 percent. A 2021 study (Lynas et al.) claimed a review of a random sample of 3,000 publications discussing climate change, out of “a dataset of 88125 climate-related papers published … [Read more...]
