By Vijay Jayaraj The world is on fire, and not in the way climate alarmists would have you believe. For years, governments of wealthy democracies sold the fantasy that wind turbines and solar panels could replace coal, oil and natural gas. Now, with war in Eastern Europe, explosions in the Middle East, and the global… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj One cannot peruse the morning headlines or scroll through the digital ether without being assailed by the global media’s solemn decree: Society is gracefully, unequivocally and inexorably decoupling from the deathly embrace of fossil fuels. Many in the “enlightened” professional classes, forgoing independent scrutiny of the issue, regurgitate the declaration with the… Continue Reading
By Frits Byron Soepyan As Canadians host the 50th annual G7 Summit this week in Kananaskis, Alberta, they can expect a deluge of “climate-saving” proclamations — rhetoric divorced from scientific evidence and economic reality. This elite gathering of the world’s leading economies, along with the European Union, plans to spotlight climate resilience, net-zero targets, green certification, and… Continue Reading
The following response to a recent, questionable “study” on future alarming increase of glacial retreat was submitted June 5, 2025 to the Journal Science. NOTE: As of June 24, 2025, the response was not published,. This triggered a letter from the author to Sudip Parikh, the Executive Publisher of Science inquiring why it hadn’t been… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj So-called environmental activists across the United Kingdom will pat themselves on the back this Thursday (June 19), which they have declared “Clean Air Day.” Because nothing of real value will come of the observance, the crusaders’ sense of elevated virtue will be the only noticeable effect from all the promotion of cycle-to-work… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj As a boy growing up beside India’s railway lines, I found magic in the metallic thunder of passing trains. Now and then, freight cars piled high with black coal would roll by. That same evening, our lights would flicker out. There, I’d sit still in the hush of a powerless night, staring… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Renewable has been the buzzword in the pop language of the energy sector. Two decades have passed since we were first told that weather-dependent wind turbines and solar panels would eclipse long-dependable and readily available coal, oil and natural gas as primary energy sources. But the global market tells a different story.… Continue Reading
Photo: File:Mt Herschel, Antarctica, Jan 2006.jpg By Vijay Jayaraj Whenever “experts are shocked” they usually have marginalized or ignored altogether factors wrongly assumed to have no influence over their hypotheses, theories or beliefs. Nowhere is this more evident than in climate science where changes in geophysical phenomena continue to defy assumptions and forecasts presented by… Continue Reading
By Dr. Bruce Everett and Gordon Tomb The recent Nature article, “Carbon Majors and the Scientific Case for Climate Liability,” tries to further the alarmists’ dream of pinning alleged harms of “extreme” weather on the world’s largest producers of fossil fuels. Christopher W. Callahan and Justin S. Mankin, both at Dartmouth College when their article… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj In a slow but steady retreat, the world’s most powerful financial institutions are abandoning their once-lauded climate pledges in the beginning of a long-overdue correction. From BlackRock’s quiet exit to the mass defection of U.S. banking giants, the climate bandwagon is losing passengers. And what replaces it could finally bring a necessary… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Like many developing economies, India faces coercion from the United Nations and Europe to conform to climate policies, especially through the imposition of carbon taxes on imports into their countries. But Delhi is not about to bend to such tactics. “If they (EU and U.K.) put in a carbon tax, we’ll retaliate,”… Continue Reading
By Dr. Lars Schernikau On 28 April 2025 the world was jolted back to reality when Spain and Portugal witnessed the most severe blackout in Europe in decades and only a few days later on 2nd May the island of Bali also went dark. If you rely on electricity…and who doesn’t, this isn’t just another energy… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Much of the media’s playbook is straightforward: Push repeatedly a predetermined agenda. I was one of perhaps billions of people who fell for this tried-and-true method of mass deception. Even some of the most intelligent people came to fear a climate catastrophe on our beautiful blue planet. If you have found yourself… Continue Reading

Parikh, PhD, AAAS Chief Executive Officer and Executive Publisher, Science Journals Re: AAAS Climate Change Public Policy Statement Dear Drs. Francisco, Maldonado, and Parikh, The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is the largest American multidisciplinary scientific society… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Kooky tales about Antarctica abound – including the presence of UFOs, a lost civilization and a passage to Earth’s interior. All are generally dismissed as absurd. Yet, some widely accepted claims about climate change and ice sheets at the planet’s southernmost end are equally far-fetched. The world is told daily that rising… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The grand vision of “Net Zero” initiatives – by which emissions of carbon dioxide magically balance with expensive and futile capture and storage systems – have long been sold as the redemption arc for humanity’s profligate modern ways. Yet, like a poorly scripted dystopian thriller, the holes in this plot are glaring.… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Having abandoned objective reporting, the mainstream media’s refusal to adopt a neutral stance on climate change has transformed a complex scientific debate into a monolithic narrative of impending catastrophe. Far from being impartial arbiters, media outlets are enthusiastic propagandists recycling doomsday predictions that consistently fail to materialize while ignoring a wealth of… Continue Reading
By Steve Goreham Climate models have been the basis for concern about climate change for more than 35 years. The US government, the United Nations, and organizations across the world have used model projections to warn about global warming and to demand a shift to renewable energy. But Trump administration budget cuts at NASA, NOAA,… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj In a landmark move that may well redefine the future of U.S.-India trade relations and global energy geopolitics, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance announced the initiation of a new trade deal with India. The day after his meeting with the Indian Prime Minister Modi April 21, Vance said that the two countries… Continue Reading
By Gordon Tomb Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposal to cap electricity prices could, perversely, lead to higher customer bills and a greater risk of blackouts, according to America’s Power, a trade organization of coal-fired power plants. Following negotiations with the governor, power grid operator PJM Interconnection submitted a plan to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Simply by following the lead of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, national leaders of developing countries can clear away obstacles to rational energy policy that have been erected by climate activists. On April 8, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Protecting American Energy from State Overreach,” a bold step to counter… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Amid Earth Day’s impassioned calls to save the planet for future generations, a disquieting irony emerges: Efforts to eradicate fossil fuels – a linchpin of modern agro-industrial systems – risk severing the very supply chains that make global food security possible. From famine to abundance: green revolution Contemporary food production sustains a global… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Every April, the world pauses to mark Earth Day — an occasion that once invited reflection on tangible environmental concerns, like cleaning polluted rivers, planting trees, and securing clean air for urban populations. But like so much of the modern environmental movement, Earth Day has been co-opted by a doomsday cult masquerading… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Growing up in the sun-scorched plains of Southern India, where summer temperatures often flirt with 104 degrees Fahrenheit, I learned early that extreme heat is not an anomaly but a seasonal reality to be expected. Yet, all of us confront the metaphorical heat of relentless rhetoric from climate alarmists who insist our… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Amidst the serene backwaters of Alleppey in Southern India, where emerald waters weave through coconut groves, there emerges a dish that embodies the soul of coastal India – Fish Moilee. A representation of India’s maritime bounty, the dish is a golden-hued masterpiece of silky-smooth coconut cream, tender fish and fragrant spices simmered… Continue Reading
