By /

On January 7, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from 66 international organizations deemed “redundant, poorly managed, unnecessary, costly, ineffective,” or instruments of America’s adversaries. Among them are various United Nations agencies and, most significantly, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the backbone of global climate governance.  During his first term, President Trump removed the U.S. from the Paris […]

By /

The repeated claim that climate science is “settled” overlooks myriad uncertainties, competing mechanisms and computer models that miss the mark when tested against reality. Declaring finality in such a field reflects political confidence – even arrogance – not scientific maturity.  The model-reality divergence  Computer models – based on faulty premises – are the bible for the modern climate movement. This despite the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) describing climate as a “coupled,

Democrat Governors Ignore Global Realities, Cling to “Green” Polices 

By /

As global corporations and governments increasingly shed ideologically driven policies that raise energy prices and undermine supply, governors in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic cling to counterproductive agendas of contradiction and equivocation.  Programs that prioritize dubious environmental goals over economic growth and basic human needs have been losing support.

Energy Wisdom is Lacking Among Public Officials

By /

Most elected officials, as well as those aspiring to be elected, have little comprehension of the differences between the products and transportation fuels that run the economy and the electricity needed by infrastructure.

Science Without Skepticism Is Just Politics in a Lab Coat

By /

The following is. a guest article by Charles Rotter. The perspective paper “Scientists as Policymakers: Greenlighting Restoration and Climate Action” is presented as a sober reflection on how scientists might better “engage” with public decision-making.

Dismantlement of South Africa’s Ferrochrome Industry

By /

South Africa’s once dominant ferrochrome industry is on the brink of collapse and requires a government bailout. That decline is not because the world no longer needs ferrochrome. It is because South Africa’s leaders tied their industrial policy to a “green” agenda that undermines reliable, affordable energy and sacrifices economic strength.  What is happening in
