By Kees de Lange Does the IPCC represent a reliable scientific organization? In the meantime, many scientists have convincingly demonstrated that the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is not a reliable scientific organization. It does not hurt to give a brief overview of the considerations. Let’s start with the mission of the IPCC. The… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein*, Olivia Vaughan, and Steve Curtis Electricity policy, at its core is economic policy. Nations that can produce abundant, reliable, and affordable electricity create the conditions for industrial growth, technological leadership, higher wages, and rising living standards. Those that fail to do so eventually discover that electricity shortages are a direct threat to… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Four years after TotalEnergies vacated its Afungi site in northern Mozambique amid civil unrest, the company restarted its $20 billion liquefied natural gas project. The gas had not moved. The geology had not improved. What changed sat 8,000 miles away at the U.S. Export-Import Bank, where a newly appointed board reauthorized a… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Climate alarmists treat fossil fuels as the producer of soot and environmental damage, yet the record is more complicated and quite positive. New research shows nitrogen deposition from the burning of hydrocarbons has helped to expand plant growth and the greening of large parts of the planet. A Nutrient Hidden in Emissions… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj For campaigners of the net zero agenda, “climate action” must come first, even if it means throttling the energy lifelines for billions of the poor. The data say something very different. A sweeping analysis by Kevin Dayaratna and Kat Miller, “Energy Abundance and Human Flourishing: A Data‑Driven Global Analysis,” shows what history… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein and Mike Ariza Russian transportation fuel shortages are caused by Ukraine drone attacks, while California shortages are directly related to political over regulations Worldwide economies run on continuous and uninterruptable electricity AND transportation fuels like the following: Jet fuel for the military and international airports, diesel fuel for trucks and construction equipment,… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj A millennium ago, India’s Chola Kingdom commanded the seas of Southeast Asia, forming with the Indonesian archipelago deep mercantile and cultural roots and a shared economic destiny that lasted for hundreds of years. In the 21st century, these two giants are again engaging in complementary roles on the global stage. India is… Continue Reading
by Angela Wheeler Rather than a serious assessment of the connection between extreme weather and climate change, a recent National Academies of Sciences (NAS) webinar presented a 253-page report engineered to reinforce the shopworn claim that emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) threaten a climate crisis. The hour-long presentation was as thin on real science as… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein and Dick Storm To meet the growing demand for continuous, uninterruptable, and emissions-free electricity, the world economies are pursuing Nuclear Power generation. Most California politicians have hated the zero-emissions generated electricity from nuclear generations since 1976 when they passed the moratorium on new nuclear power plants. Nuclear is the cleanest, safest, proven,… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Sometimes a story gets buried not because editors conspire against it, but because the news cycle has room for only one crisis at a time. This year the big news has been the Iran war. But even accounting for competing headlines, the silence around a genuinely consequential development is telling. And that… Continue Reading
By Dr. Joseph Fournier Americans often picture Canada as a vast northern forest – an endless expanse of pristine wilderness. But the truth is far more complex and increasingly relevant to U.S.–Canada policy debates. Eighty‑nine percent of Canada is Crown land, owned by federal or provincial governments. Yet only about 10–12% of that land receives… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein and Mike Ariza The 4th largest economy in the world is becoming a National Security Risk for America. With the loss of transportation fuel supplies from Asian refineries resulting from the Iranian War and California’s huge dependency, the 4th largest economy in the world is on the precipice of an unprecedented, self-inflicted… Continue Reading
By Angela Wheeler Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan’s admission at a July Senate hearing raises troubling questions about accountability in judicial education. Kagan confirmed she had written the foreword for the Federal Judicial Center’s Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence without reading a chapter on climate change that was eventually removed because of objectionable biases –… Continue Reading
By Samuel Furfari An Energy Institute report reveals a Europe clinging to the pretense of leading an “energy transition” as the continent declines under the weight of climate policies whose quixotically utopian objectives are negated elsewhere by fossil fuel-supported economic growth. Data from the 75th edition of the annual “Statistical Review of World Energy” will… Continue Reading

Frequency of Dust Storms: Increases Due to Climate Change (WHO, 2025) vs Decreases Due to Complex Factors in the Sahara-Sahel Region (Yeo et al., 2026)!
By Ganapathy Shanmugam, Ph.D. The prevailing climate narrative is that the frequency of dust storms (Fig. 1) tends to increase with global warming (Fig. 2). But the empirical datasets from the Sahara-Sahel region (Fig. 3) reveal that the opposite trend is true for the period 1984-2023 (Fig. 4). Dust storms A dust storm, also called… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Much of the global energy conversation still pretends that coal is on its way out. The pretense may be comforting to activists, investors, and policymakers who built their plans for a transition to so-called clean energy that never acknowledged the limitations of solar and wind power. However, the newest work by Lars… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein*, Olivia Vaughan, and Steve Curtis When Rwandan President Paul Kagame stood up at the Nuclear Energy Summit in Paris earlier this year, he didn’t talk like a leader hedging his bets on energy policy. He talked like a determined man in a hurry. Kagame told the assembled audience that nuclear generated electricity technology “is… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Not long ago, Japan stood before the world pledging to become a paragon of decarbonization. Government papers were filled with talk of hydrogen corridors, offshore wind farms, and electric vehicle subsidies. To satisfy international climate lobbies, Japan planned for years to phase out coal. Operations at coal-fired power plants were restricted to… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein and Mike Ariza Economies run on transportation, thus logical questions to California political leaders that will expose their Energy Literacy. California, the 4th largest economy in the world, is growing its dependence on transportation fuels made from refined crude oil at foreign refineries which is becoming a national security risk for America.… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Canada’s picturesque Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler, British Columbia, is 75 miles of soaring beauty. One of my favorites, the trip takes the traveler from sea level to an elevation of 2,200 feet with nearby peaks more than four times higher. Similarly inspiring in its economic rise was Canada… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The June G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, marked a major pivot. Driven by severe energy and commodity shocks stemming from the conflict in the Middle East—specifically transit disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—G7 leaders overwhelmingly prioritized energy security, price insulation, and survival of the fossil fuel supply chain over aggressive timelines for… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Much of the world was optimistic after a peace deal ended months of conflict in the Middle East that had disrupted the global oil trade. But peace in that region has long been a tenuous matter, and how long it lasts is anybody’s guess. Nonetheless, there are other reasons for optimism that… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj When temperatures elevate in Europe, political rhetoric rises even faster. Within days of the June 2026 heat wave, familiar voices rushed to assign blame. John Kerry, speaking to the BBC, labeled the current U.S. administration “dangerous and reckless” on climate. U.N. climate chief Simon Stiell declared that “Europe’s savage heat wave has… Continue Reading
By Frits Byron Soepyan By reporting the sensational claims of UNICEF, the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano joins in the fearmongering of climate alarmists whose credibility suffers from a lack of scientific facts. Drawing on UNICEF’s The Children’s Climate Risk Report 2026, the paper’s front-page, June 16 story, “Emergenze climatiche: Il cielo sopra i bam (Climate Emergencies: The… Continue Reading
By Ronald Stein and Mike Ariza With no pipelines over the Sierra Mountains, California is an energy island separated from the crude oil supply and the infrastructure of oil refineries within the other 49 States. Collectively, California, the 4th largest economy in the world, consumes a humongous 61 million gallons of ALL transportation fuels PER DAY… Continue Reading
