By Vijay Jayaraj The house of cards built on computer models and manipulated emotions is collapsing under the weight of a stubborn, inconvenient reality. The “climate emergency” exists only in the frantic press releases of a movement that knows it’s time is up. For decades, activists have anchored their case in dramatic warnings about species… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Political powers in the United Nations and European Union have spent decades lecturing Africa on climate “virtue.” Net-zero pledges, renewable targets, ESG frameworks, and more make up the ever-growing list of prescriptions for “healing the planet.” Having already industrialized through the use of fossil fuels and enjoying full bellies, stable power grids,… Continue Reading
By Lars Schernikau and Vijay Jayaraj South Africa’s once dominant ferrochrome industry is on the brink of collapse and requires a government bailout. That decline is not because the world no longer needs ferrochrome. It is because South Africa’s leaders tied their industrial policy to a “green” agenda that undermines reliable, affordable energy and sacrifices… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Popular culture is full of gritty dramas about Norsemen shivering in fur pelts, launching raids on British monasteries, and navigating the icy fringes of the North Atlantic. Yet, while the Vikings were struggling to eke out a subsistence living on the thawing margins of Greenland, a far more sophisticated, wealthy and powerful… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj History will likely remember 2025 as the year energy corporatists finally stopped pretending there is a climate crisis. For a decade, a bizarre theater of the absurd played out as titans of the oil and gas industry apologized for their core business while pledging allegiance to a “green transition” that existed mostly… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Europe stands as the self-proclaimed cathedral of the “green” transition. Bureaucrats in Brussels and politicians in Berlin have spent decades lecturing the world on the moral necessity to abandon hydrocarbons. They have constructed a narrative of the European Union as a shining city powered by the breeze and sun, modeling a net-zero… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj While the rest of Europe shivers under the self-imposed austerity of net zero mandates, Norway in the frozen north is keeping the lights on and the bank vaults full as it avoids the “green” ideological quicksand that has defined the continent’s energy policy. Despite pressures to decarbonize, Norway has increased efforts to… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The collapse of the Paris Agreement and the unmasking of the net zero illusion were never hard to predict for anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty. It didn’t take a fancy research title or an advanced degree. The writing was carved deep into the stone of energy reality, which no press… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The island nation of Timor-Leste, located north of Australia at the eastern extreme of the Indian Ocean, is blessed with stunning beaches along a rugged mountainous terrain. It is famous for producing some of the world’s finest organic coffee, grown in high-altitude, shaded environments, producing a smooth, low-acid brew with notes of… Continue Reading
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 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
