Methane emissions have become a focal point of the climate debate, triggering absurd agricultural regulations negatively affecting farming communities worldwide. Targets for abuse are ruminant animals, including cattle and sheep, that produce methane (CH4) through enteric fermentation – a natural digestive process that converts grass into protein-rich meat and milk for human consumption.Even farmers from my family in India are possible targets of anti-methane assaults on agriculture that have … [Read more...]

Bring realism, not idealism, to science
The new Trump administration is delivering huge changes in the way the federal government operates. One expected result is for the conduct of science programs to reflect realism rather than idealism or political beliefs. This expectation needs to be fulfilled quickly to improve the public’s perception of, confidence in, and acceptance of government policies that must be based on solid scientific foundations. Public trust in government edicts that are ostensibly … [Read more...]
Public Abandons Doomsday Cult for Climate Realism and Practical Environmentalism
For years, climate activists like Al Gore and John Kerry have made bold, headline-grabbing predictions that have failed to materialize. Gore’s 2007 assertion that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013 stands in stark contrast to reality: Arctic ice has not disappeared despite seasonal fluctuations, and Antarctica sea ice has rebounded from record low levels.Similarly, Kerry’s repeated warnings of impending catastrophe have lacked grounding in observable data. Teenage activist Greta Thunberg’s … [Read more...]
Trump’s Paris Pullout Liberates Third World, Saves U.S. Billions
Donald Trump's withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement is both a geopolitical shift likely to have positive effects abroad and a monetary relief for American taxpayers.The pecuniary implications of Trump’s withdrawal are substantial: The United States has shouldered an outsized share of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change secretariat’s budget, contributing approximately 22% of its funding. For the 2024-2025 cycle alone, the secretariat’s operating costs are … [Read more...]
Trump Drops a Bomb on Green Energy

Bloom Energy: Time To Go
Bloom Energy’s founder, K.R. Sridhar, recently appeared on Maria Bartiromo’s show on Fox Business. He touted Bloom Energy as a viable solution to President Trump’s declaration of a national energy emergency. But as we approach the thirteenth anniversary of Delaware’s investment in Bloom Energy, it is time for the Meyer Administration to pull the plug on this energy debacle.Under the Markell Administration, then DNREC Secretary Collin O’Mara engineered a sweetheart deal with Bloom … [Read more...]
Climate-obsessed anesthesiologists numb to reality
Scientists at the CO2 Coalition say a fuss over the greenhouse-warming effect of anesthetic gases is much ado about something so close to nothing as be undetectable -- tiny fractions of degrees in temperature. In fact, we would add, compared to the stakes at risk in many surgical procedures, fretting over climate change in an operating room is frivolous at best.Anybody being “put under” for surgery is likely to wonder about the competency and focus of the anesthesiologist. Questions about … [Read more...]
‘Consumer Reports’ Jettisons Objectivity on Climate Change
Consumer Reports. You probably have heard of it, as it has been around since 1936. Since then, it has offered valuable information to assess the safety and performance of many products and services, and has come to be widely trusted. So, you can understand why we were intrigued when it issued a blurb in one of its latest newsletters about…climate change. Wait…what?Consumer Reports maintains credibility by conducting its own evaluations based on its in-house testing laboratory and survey … [Read more...]
Faith in Perspective: Our Children, Climate, and the Future
We sit, privileged — sheltered by God’s grace from violence’s shadow. Yet beyond our safety, a world seethes with brutality. I was recently at an event organized by Beyond Barriers commemorating a sanctuary for childhood’s most wounded souls. As tales of near-lost lives unfolded, the room held its collective breath—each story a whisper of children hovering on survival’s fragile threshold, rescued from oblivion by compassion’s slender thread.Jesus, our Lord, places great emphasis on the … [Read more...]
