When they open their 30-day session on January 11, Virginia’s Senate and House of Delegates must correct some serious energy mistakes they made two years ago, when Democrats controlled nearly the entire state government and passed the “Virginia Clean Economy Act.” One of its party-line provisions requires that Virginia adopt California’s requirement that only low-emission vehicles (LEVs) be sold by the model year 2025 and only zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by MY 2035. That means in barely … [Read more...]

Christians, There is Nothing Wrong with Eating Meat
Today, this anti-meat culture has arrived at the church’s doorstep. We now have thought leaders, media personalities, and even voices within the church calling for a reduction in meat consumption. Christians should know that the call to ban or reduce meat consumption is not only unbiblical but also scientifically baseless.

Proposals For a Windfall Profits Tax Are Damaging Even If Never Enacted
In the wake of the midterm election results, President Biden has made it clear that “I’m not going to change,” in particular with respect to his view that “the oil companies are really doing the nation a real disservice.” Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash Accordingly, it is easy to predict a continuation of the incoherence of the Biden stance toward conventional energy: a policy environment reducing investment in future discovery, production, and ancillary capital … [Read more...]
As Predicted, COP27 Was a Flop Yet Again
Every year, the annual UN climate conference heralds two weeks of intergovernmental pantomime. Without fail, we are told that time is running out, that it’s one minute to midnight, and that it’s the last chance to save the world from doomsday. There is an uncanny sense of déjà vu while global CO2 emissions continue to rise relentlessly and with no sign of slowing down. We at Net Zero Watch have been pointing out for years that every COP passes through the same ritual stages, always … [Read more...]
De-Urbanization of Surface Temperatures with the Landsat-Based “Built-Up” Dataset
A relatively new global dataset of urbanization changes over the 40-year period 1975-2014 based upon Landsat data is used to determine the average effect urbanization has had on surface temperatures. A method is presented to compute the magnitude of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect on temperatures using the example of summertime 09 UTC (early morning) Integrated Surface Database (ISD) hourly data (mostly from airports) over the period 1973-2022 by comparing urbanization differences to … [Read more...]
An African Leader Courageously Stands Up to Green Globalist Elites
For eight years, from 1992 to 2000, I taught at Covenant College, in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. One of my colleagues there was someone who since the early 1980s has been one of my dearest friends and greatest advisors, Dr. Henry Krabbendam, a Bible professor, theologian, and evangelist extraordinaire, who for nearly 50 years has trained thousands of students and adults in explaining the gospel one-on-one or in street preaching. I had the privilege of joining Henry for some of it one year. What … [Read more...]
Latest RGGI Lawsuit Highlights Increases in Electricity Prices
This is a guest article by Gordon Tomb Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash Already struggling to cope with higher energy bills, Pennsylvanians are now experiencing double-digit rate hikes this fall. In September, some suppliers increased electricity prices another 19 percent, citing inflation and energy costs. Pennsylvanians need relief, but Gov. Tom Wolf’s unilateral action will drive energy bills even higher. Worse yet, a new lawsuit highlights how Wolf’s plan—while claiming to help … [Read more...]
Ending Poverty Requires More Than Financial Aid
Ending poverty requires more than just providing temporary financial aid. It requires sound policies that bring about growth in the economy and people’s livelihoods. However, implementing such policies is increasingly difficult due to challenges from environmental activists. Not all environmental activism is helpful. Lately, there has been a wave of activism against access to even the most basic energy resources like coal, oil, and gas. This is because fossil fuels are said to be endangering … [Read more...]
BBC Bear Propaganda Melts Under Analysis
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash A recently released BBC documentary, Frozen Planet II, renews claims that polar bears are destined to doom due to melting Arctic sea ice and calls for “immediate action.” “David Attenborough returns with another epic exploration of the world’s frozen regions…you’re weirdly sad that a polar bear can’t hunt seals because of the melting ice – and this image nails the urgent message in this incredible six-episode series,” reads The Guardian’s intro to … [Read more...]
Joe Biden’s Ad Hoc Use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Notwithstanding vociferous criticism of the politicized use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by the Biden administration, such drawdowns have been employed for decades by Democratic and Republican administrations alike as an ad hoc and futile response to short-run increases in fuel prices. Unlike the case for all previous administrations, which viewed the domestic production of fossil fuels as a positive or at least … [Read more...]
