By Vijay Jayaraj The quietude of looking out the kitchen window on a December morning at a meadow dusted in snow is magical. A deer pauses at the edge of the wood, breath steaming in the cold air, grazing on whatever bits of green poke through the snow. It is a scene replicated on greeting… Continue Reading

Climate change doom-and-gloomers are finally bowing out— and showing that common sense prevails
By Matt Ridley Finally, thankfully, the global warming craze is dying out. To paraphrase Monty Python, the climate parrot may still be nailed to its perch at the recent COP summit in Belém, Brazil — or at Harvard and on CNN — but elsewhere it’s dead. It’s gone to meet its maker, kicked the bucket,… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The panic is real among climate alarmists as their scaremongering of the past three decades loses its power over a public awakening from a spell induced by a corrupt political class and sustained by a compliant business community and media. So, what is the response of those holding onto the fantasy that… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone A federal rule mandating the use of certain refrigerants has substantially boosted the price of air conditioning and increased the risk of fire – only to reduce global temperature by an amount too small to measure. Imposed by the Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), beginning this year, the rule forced the… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Australia’s green energy experiment has left millions of its citizens with a shaky power grid, serving as a case study on how blind allegiance to climate dogma leads to economic and social turmoil. The once sacred “net zero” pledge has been exposed as a curse producing public anger, stark warnings from industry… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The silent, gleaming chassis of an electric vehicle (EV) glides through a pristine forest or a spotless, futuristic city. The message is simple: The driver is saving the planet. It is a narrative built on a convenient, calculated omission. Pull back the curtain on the EV supply chain – starting with Indonesian… Continue Reading
By Gordon Tomb In July, nearly two dozen companies gathered in Pittsburgh, along with President Donald Trump and other leaders, to announce investments in data centers and needed energy infrastructure. Totaling more than $90 billion, the expenditures would equal nearly ten percent of Pennsylvania’s gross domestic product, inducing a headline that described the prospect as “truly mind-blowing.”… Continue Reading
By Steve Goreham COP30, the United Nations climate conference, is underway in Belem, Brazil. Thousands of representatives from all over the world have journeyed to discuss how to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to try to fight human-caused climate change. But ten years after the Paris Climate Agreement, the global consensus on climate change is… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The U.S. and Japan are shedding the paralysis of irrational climate policies with a strategic pact covering rare-earth minerals, critical components for semiconductors and next-generation nuclear reactors. Forged through the leadership of two no-nonsense politicians – President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi – the clear-eyed agreement abandons more than… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Climate orthodoxy insists that the poorest nations, home to billions who still live in energy poverty, must power their rise from the edge of subsistence using expensive and unreliable solar and wind energy. But a country desperately trying to build up industry, jobs and infrastructure, had best bet on power sources that… Continue Reading
The Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will take place from November 10-21, 2025, in Belém, Brazil with an expected attendance of 70,000. Across the world, political leaders and environmental activists proclaim that renewable electricity will soon replace fossil fuels and usher in a cleaner, sustainable future.… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone Relying on human ingenuity to coexist with a changing climate – either warmer or cooler – and tending to long-recognized public health threats are the best ways to ensure the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants, according to an Australian physician and expert in climate and public health. “The ingenuity of… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Whether China’s threat to restrict export of rare earth minerals materializes or is resolved through trade negotiations, the episode underscores the fragility of U.S. supply chains and the importance of developing domestic sources. Nowhere is this more evident than in the energy sector where climate policies have made dozens of countries more… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj For decades growth strategies in poorer countries of the Global South – Asia, Africa and South America – leaned heavily on energy-intensive industries powered by fossil fuels and, in a handful of cases, by nuclear power. Cities grew, factories rose, exports surged, poverty declined. This growth slowed under the weight of decarbonization… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Practitioners of rigorous scientific methodology – from the 17th century’s Galileo to 1965’s winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Richard Feynman – would consider today’s climate research an embarrassment, shaped by uncritical orthodoxy and zealotry rather than genuine testing of hypotheses. Classical science welcomes skepticism. It thrives in an environment where… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Politicians, celebrities and billionaires who lecture about carbon footprints operate by a separate set of rules. Living in ostentatious opulence, they exude spectacular hypocrisy that is rarely challenged by media outlets amplifying their climate warnings. Even scientists fly thousands of miles to United Nations climate conferences, adding to emissions of greenhouse gases… Continue Reading

Japan’s Green Energy Failures Serve as a Warning to the US: Don’t Fall for the Climate Agenda
by Yoshihiro Muronaka In August 2025, Japanese media revealed that Mitsubishi Corporation was preparing to withdraw from three offshore wind projects off the coasts of Chiba and Akita prefectures. In 2021, Mitsubishi had won these sites with remarkably low bids of 8-11 cents/kilowatt-hour (kWh), hailed as proof of Japan’s corporate strength and renewable ambition. But… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj We were promised a “green” utopia free of fossil fuels, powered by sunshine and breezes. However, the net zero hobbits living in this imaginary shire were blissfully ignorant of hard realities dictated by physics, engineering and economics. Once trumpeted by corporate giants and governments alike, the vision of a world without greenhouse… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Indian authorities have accelerated a nationwide transition to a 20% ethanol blend in gasoline. Of the 1.46 billion people in India, many, including myself, were completely unaware that gasoline at the pumps was now a 20% blend. This is because the original deadline for the nationwide implementation of a 20% ethanol mix… Continue Reading
By Brian C Joondeph When Americans hear about carbon dioxide (CO2), it’s often shown as a harmful pollutant that threatens the planet. Politicians, activists, and media outlets warn that if we don’t reduce emissions right away, disaster will happen. Preeminent “climate scientist” Al Gore told Congress in 2007, “The science is settled. Carbon dioxide emissions… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj It’s all too predictable: A jet-setting celebrity or politician wades ceremoniously into hip-deep surf for a carefully choreographed photo op, while proclaiming that human-driven sea-level rise will soon swallow an island nation. Of course, the water is deeper than the video’s pseudoscience, which is as shallow as the theatrics. The scientific truth… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj A coordinated offensive unfolded with precision September 2 against five scientists questioning the popular media’s most sacred bogeyman – the hypothesis that human-induced emissions of carbon dioxide threaten to overheat the planet. The scientists attacked had written a report published in July by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), “A Critical Review… Continue Reading
By Steve Goreham This year, European nations announced plans to pursue artificial intelligence. National leaders announced AI spending goals totaling hundreds of billions of euros in efforts to catch up to the United States. But AI requires huge amounts of electrical power, conflicting with Europe’s commitment to achieve a Net Zero power grid. Since ChatGPT… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The era of hypothetical warnings about the cost of green policies is over. We have now entered the brutal phase of reporting with empirical data the economic devastation that the foolish “decarbonization” agenda has left in its wake. The latest exhibit in this gallery of ruin is New Zealand, where the so-called… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj When most people think of ASEAN – a diverse association of Southeast Asian nations that include Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam – they picture Thailand’s beaches, Singapore’s gleaming skyline or Indonesia’s temples. What they don’t see is an economic juggernaut that will drive some of… Continue Reading
