It's long been clear that electricity, by putting enormous power at the fingertips of billions of ordinary people, has been crucial to their conquest of poverty. Just now, though, a short article by energy journalist Robert Bryce turned a new light on for me: Electricity is crucial to keeping people free, too. Why? Because information and its rapid, unrestricted sharing feed freedom. And electricity facilitates that rapid sharing of information---through telephones, radio, television, the … [Read more...]

Chennai, India’s Cold Winter vs. Global Warming Hype
Why do developing countries like India fear calling out the climate myth? Because doing so would risk international trade relations by challenging the European economic powerhouses that are vehemently opposed to any country that leaves the Paris accord. In fact, the European Union’s new Brussels policy stipulates that the EU will not sign trade pacts with any country that does not ratify the Paris agreement. While many climate alarmists call for India to cut down its dependence on coal, fearing … [Read more...]
FINALLY! Climate Propaganda May Be Reaching A Tipping Point
Has the climate propaganda reached a point where radical climatism is leading us into dangerous negligence? The severe winter in the northern hemisphere has been widely recorded. However, key climate information providers have altered data. The result — intended or not — has been to make the recent record lows of the winter appear normal. November 2017 marked the onset of a very cold winter across the Northern Hemisphere. Many parts of North America and Eurasia registered record lows, … [Read more...]
What Do You Get When You Mix Socialism with Pursuit of Profits from Renewable Energy?
The latest from the climate alarmism's anti-capitalism department: Christiana Figueres, former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (parent of the 2015 Paris climate agreement) and now a leader in "Mission 2020," an international cooperative effort to get global carbon dioxide emissions on a downward trend by 2020, is upset with heavy industry---especially (not surprisingly!) in the United States. She told Thomson Reuters Foundation News that heavy … [Read more...]
Beware EPA ‘Social Cost of Carbon’ Models
“Wouldn’t it be nice if we could scientifically determine the cumulative costs or benefits that result over the next three hundred years from our choices in the present? It may be nice, but it is impossible. ” “Because [mainstream climate] models produced such wildly different results depending on the projections and assumptions baked in the mathematical cake, economist Robert Pindyck concluded after an extensive review of such models that they are so badly flawed as to make them virtually … [Read more...]
Protect Endangered Species on Valentine’s Day?
Valentine's Day. A day for lovers. But according to the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD), it could be a very bad day for biodiversity. That's because, so goes the argument, what lovers (heterosexual lovers, anyway) do---not just on Valentine's Day but all year long---threatens to increase human population. And, as everyone knows, growing human population leads to more species extinctions. The CBD, citing Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson, claims that "30,000 species per year (or three … [Read more...]
Are “Fixer Upper” Stars Wrecking the Earth with their Children?
You'd have thought congratulations were in order when HGTV's Chip and Joanna Gaines, of Fixer Upper, announced they're expecting their fifth child. Some congratulations did come, but so did some nasty criticism. The gist: With four, they have too many already. The world's overpopulated, and it's selfish of them to add more children. US Magazine headlined its story, "Some People Are Pissed About Chip and Joanna Gaines' Baby News: 'I Hope This One Will Be Your Last'," and quoted from some social … [Read more...]
Is Capitalism Bad for the Environment? The Eighth Commandment Offers a Clue
A common charge by environmentalists is that capitalism is bad for the environment. Indeed, Christiana Figueres, former secretary-general of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, opined that climate negotiations in Paris in late 2014 offered the world its best opportunity to replace the reigning global economic order (capitalism, or free markets) with another (socialism, or government-planned economies). But is capitalism really bad for the environment? One of the Ten … [Read more...]
Blessing or Curse? The Curious Case of Carbon Dioxide
In recent decades, select groups of scientists and politicians have blamed carbon dioxide (CO2) -- a greenhouse gas -- for increasing global temperatures to dangerous levels. Is CO2 really destroying our planet? CO2 is an odorless, invisible, trace gas in the atmosphere that acts as an important source of life for everything that lives on earth. In fact, plant and animal life on earth would be impossible without CO2. CO2 is an integral part of the photosynthesis process. Plants … [Read more...]
