Twenty-three states have adopted goals to move to 100 percent clean energy by 2050. State governments propose to retire coal- and gas-fired power plants and adopt wind and solar systems. But these goals conflict with efforts to promote electric vehicles (EVs), electric appliances, and a new rising demand for electric power.Photo: Creative Commons under Unsplash.The green energy push seeks to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions to fight human-caused global warming. Leaders tell us that without a … [Read more...]
As China Builds Yugos, EVs May Be the New Edsels
The year 1957 is memorable for at least two historic launches. The launch by the Soviet Socialist Union of Sputnik, the world’s first artificial satellite, prompted the U.S. to create the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) the very next year.Photo: Creative Commons under Unsplash.Eleven years later, Neil Armstrong stepped out of Apollo 11 and famously proclaimed, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”Barely three years later, Apollo 17 astronaut Eugene … [Read more...]
The Benefits of Not Meeting Paris Accord Standards
The following is a guest article by Kenneth Richard.The benefits of not meeting Paris Accord emissions-reduction targets outweigh the costs associated even with worst-case-scenario global warming throughout the 21st century.A new comprehensive analysis (Tol, 2023) weighs the cost-benefit of meeting Paris Accord emission policy targets to keep global warming in check, or under 2°C.The analysis reveals that even in the best case scenarios (that assume emission reduction policies fully meet their … [Read more...]
“Four Pillars of Civilization” Under Attack
The following is a guest article by Peter St Onge.Recently, Tucker Carlson did a video about the elite “anti-human death-cult” that’s using “climate change” to reverse the industrial revolution. Returning us to an age where abject poverty -- even famine -- was a daily reality, while freedom was a distant memory.During the 15 minute interview, Michael Shellenberger said something that bears comment, that "The pillars of civilization are cheap energy, meritocracy, Law and Order, and free speech. … [Read more...]
The Absurdity of Measuring Breath for Climate Change
The following is a guest article by Charles Rotter.In a recent study published in PLOS ONE, titled “Measurements of methane and nitrous oxide in human breath and the development of UK scale emissions,” researchers have embarked on a quest that epitomizes the absurdity of current climate change discourse. This study, focusing on the emissions of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from human breath, is not only a glaring example of scientific overreach but also a worrying indicator of the … [Read more...]
Today’s Materialistic World Cannot Survive Without Crude Oil
The elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss is that crude oil is the foundation of our materialistic society as it is the basis of all products and fuels demanded by the 8 billion people on this planet. As a reality check for those pursuing net-zero emissions, wind and solar do different things than crude oil. Unreliable renewables, like wind turbines and solar panels, only generate occasional electricity but manufacture no products for society. Crude oil has virtually never been … [Read more...]
Can the Government Create a Green Hydrogen Fuel Industry?
World leaders promote hydrogen as a possible low-emissions fuel for transportation and industry. Nations have announced hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies to support development and supply of hydrogen. But will governments be able to create a new green hydrogen fuel industry?When hydrogen burns, the only combustion product is water vapor. Net Zero advocates, such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), propose that green hydrogen be used as fuel in place of natural gas and coal in … [Read more...]
No Climate Crisis for Thriving Honeybees
Writing anything good about climate change runs the risk of the writer getting lynched metaphorically by the online enforcers of a cultist apocalyptic narrative. For years, doomsayers have insisted that polar bears are in danger of extinction because of man-made warming even as experts have shown that populations have actually increased. So much so, that the native Inuit people in Arctic Canada want an increase in hunting quotas.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashLikewise, I’ve documented how … [Read more...]
Wind and Solar Slaughtering India’s Iconic Bird
By commissioning expensive and inefficient wind and solar electric generating facilities, India may have dug the grave of its own efforts to save the critically endangered great Indian bustard. Erected to avert a faux climate crisis, the so-called renewable machines and their attendant transmission lines are helping to drive one of Earth’s largest flying birds to the brink of extinction.Photo: Creative Commons under UnsplashAvian aficionados such as myself have long bemoaned prioritizing wind … [Read more...]
‘Demographic Warming’: Humans Increasingly Choose to Live Where It’s Warmer
This is the second of a series of articles in which Cornwall Alliance board member and senior fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer explains the importance of distinguishing urban heat island effect from global temperature increase and of recognizing that by choosing to live in warmer regions of the world and in cities rather than in cooler and rural or wilderness areas, people demonstrate their preference for warmer temperatures. You can find the first article here, and the second here. and the third … [Read more...]
