President Trump’s “Executive Order on Energy Independence” will save the American people hundreds of billions of dollars every year that would have been wasted on purely symbolic efforts under former President Obama’s “Clean Power Plan” and other regulations. Former President Barack Obama justified those regulations by claiming they would reduce global warming. But in reality, even according to his Environmental Protection Agency’s calculations, they would achieve no measurable reduction in … [Read more...]
Trump’s Decision to Downplay Climate Change Could Save $Billions
Climate-change hysteria is the primary rationale for switching from abundant, affordable, reliable energy from fossil fuels to diffuse, expensive, unreliable "renewable energy from wind, solar, geothermal, biofuels, etc. It's also a main driver of failure after failure, often wasting millions or even billions in taxpayer dollars. That's one of many reasons to cheer this report from Bloomberg: President Donald Trump is set to sign a sweeping directive to dramatically shrink the role climate … [Read more...]

Seeing Red—New NASA Climate Change Video Uses Questionable “Data” for Colorful Deception
A visitor to Cornwall Alliance's Facebook page recently asked our thoughts on a new video from NASA purporting to demonstrate that global warming is happening rapidly and that there's been no slow-down, let alone "pause," in the last two decades. Among other media, Huffington Post featured the video in an article titled "NASA Climate Change Video Shows Just How Quickly the Earth Is Warming." As is typical, the video uses frightening graphics to communicate numbers that are far less than … [Read more...]
Tillerson Gets It: Nothing Lifts People Out of Poverty Quicker than Electricity
ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, nominated by President-elect Donald J. Trump to become Secretary of State, during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday, January 11, said clearly, concisely, and powerfully something that's been a key part of the Cornwall Alliance's message for years: Nothing lifts people out of poverty quicker than electricity.

Will Trump Admin Destroy Climate Data?
Encountered the claims by climate-alarmist scientists that the incoming Trump Administration will destroy climate data? Here's a sober assessment of such, by Judith Curry. If I were among climate alarmists, I might be frightened by the prospect of the Administration's preserving ALL the data, AND all the homogenizations of it, AND all the computer code and instructions about how to do the homogenizations, because all that's the evidence of shenanigans to exaggerate the warming rate over the … [Read more...]
I’d Rather Have ROTHR: National Security vs. Wind Energy
Physicist and Cornwall Alliance friend John Droz, Jr., reveals a fascinating story of how the Obama Administration and North Carolina politicians sold out national security for the chance to look Green. The Obama-directed military and North Carolina regulators, aided by the governor and attorney general, approved an extensive industrial wind facility located where it would interfere with the operation of a vital instrument of national security: one of two land-based ROTHR—Relocatable … [Read more...]
Why Trump Should Fire the Paris Climate Treaty
Oh, the delight of knowing we’ve probably just endured the last salvo in the Obama Administration’s climate-change propaganda campaign!
