By Vijay Jayaraj What if we celebrate Thanksgiving with a tribute to global warming and the relative abundance of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere? An outrageously scandalous thought, right? To propose we honor what global elites and their compliant media insist are bringing on certain doom. Yet, this is precisely what sound thinking demands.… Continue Reading
Journalism fearmongering has been alive and well for more than a century. In 1918, the American journalist, critic and satirist H. L. Mencken is credited with saying: “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety), by menacing them with an endless series of… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The end is nigh – not for the world, but for the climate industrial complex. It has been a decline brought about mainly by the sheer reality of energy economics in the developing world. Published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the “World Energy Outlook 2025” reads like an obituary for the… 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 A new report from McKinsey & Company, the “Global Energy Perspective,” lays bare what many of us – dismissed as “climate deniers” – have been asserting all along: Coal, oil and natural gas will continue to be the dominant sources of global energy well past 2050. The McKinsey outlook for 2025 sharply… 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 Gregory Wrightstone Boasting that Texas “has built more wind power than any state and is a top contender for the most solar power,” a Texas Tribune article bemoans a decline in federal subsidies for such energy sources and a potential loss of “billions in investments and thousands of jobs.” Interestingly, the writers focus on business interests… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The last two decades should have been a period of accelerating economic development for Africa, South America and much of Asia. Discoveries of abundant oil and gas supplies offered a rescue from poverty, industrial stagnation and poor access to electricity and other basic services. Instead, they got a man-made disaster, a deliberate… 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
By Vijay Jayaraj For 20 years, an alliance of partisan ideologues hungry for power and the profits of lobbying and grifting, along with crisis-obsessed media and certain academic elites, dictated what many politicians would back, what faculty would publish and what journalists dared to report about climate change. Activists leveraged the narrative of a false… Continue Reading
