by Bruce Everett The fear of catastrophic climate change is everywhere today, including on the Cape. Well-intentioned people are working tirelessly in our schools, local governments and non-profits to promote clean energy and save the planet. What could be wrong with that? Quite a lot, actually. Let’s start with the science. Carbon dioxide (CO2), erroneously… Continue Reading
by Vijay Jayaraj Many people read history to understand colonialism — how it looked and felt. However, for those in the Third World colonialism is a living experience, courtesy restrictive energy policies forced upon them by Western political leaders. This modern form of enslavement — to the West’s so-called green agenda — is variously known… Continue Reading
by Vijay Jayaraj At least one developed economy is waking up from an energy slumber induced by the obsession with climate change. The new prime minister of the UK is seemingly leaving no stone unturned in her pursuit of energy liberation by appointing climate-skeptic ministers. Given the decade-long dominance of anti-fossil fuel policies in the… Continue Reading
by Gregory Wrightstone A 35-year veteran of the global warming debate says fossil fuels are the “greenest” of energy sources. In a recently published paper, Dr. Indur Goklany notes that carbon dioxide emissions from industrial activity and transportation have increased plant growth and that fertilizers and pesticides derived from fossil fuels have boosted crop yields… Continue Reading
by Vijay Jayaraj Amidst the European energy crisis, it’s easy to miss other events that are of significance to the discussion about the climate-change movement. Among them are a series of setbacks to green policies in China and India. These countries — representing three billion people — have delayed implementation of renewable energy commitments and… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj A climate-inspired war on nitrous oxide (N2O) is threatening the global food supply. At risk are the viability of modern agricultural businesses and the very lives of the people who consume their plant and animal products. Fanned by climate alarmists, fears that nitrous oxide — a greenhouse gas — is contributing to… Continue Reading
by Vijay Jayaraj Whether it’s a hot Colorado summer or a cold United Kingdom winter, the misery of “green” policies becomes an everyday reality as hapless consumers are denied access to energy. When state lawmakers and energy providers choose to increase “renewable” technologies in their energy mix, the inevitable results are grid instability, power shortages,… Continue Reading

Meridional transport is the main climate change driver Javier Vinós & Andy May – September 4, 2022 “No philosopher has been able with his own strength to lift this veil stretched by nature over all the first principles of things. Men argue, nature acts.” Voltaire (1764) 6.1 Introduction Climate is a thermodynamic process determined by… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj There is being caught between a rock and a hard place, and then there’s Europe. The continent’s squeeze between a severe energy shortage and a policy of phasing out fossil fuels — the world’s most widely available energy source — got tighter Sept. 2 when Russia’s Gazprom stopped its natural gas supply… Continue Reading

JAYARAJ: Climate Change Transformed India Into An Agricultural Superpower — Just Ask My Grandparents
By Vijay Jayaraj My grandparents survived a nationwide famine in the 1960s that pushed many Indians into abject poverty. Little did they know then that they would go on to become farmers producing some of the best rice and coconuts on the planet. Starting with purchases of small paddies, my grandparents supplemented income from professional… Continue Reading

A role for the sun in climate change Javier Vinós & Andy May – August 28, 2022 “Once you start doubting, just like you’re supposed to doubt. You ask me if the science is true and we say ‘No, no, we don’t know what’s true, we’re trying to find out, everything is possibly wrong’ …… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj With ice coverage for July and August remaining above the 10-year average of 2010-20, the extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic has surprised experts who once predicted that such levels would be impossible. This stands in stark contrast to the dominant climate narrative that predicts the dwindling of summer ice… Continue Reading
The climate shift of 1997 Javier Vinós & Andy May – August 22, 2022 “These shifts are associated with significant changes in global temperature trend and in ENSO variability. The latest such event is known as the great climate shift of the 1970s.” Anastasios A. Tsonis, Kyle Swanson & Sergey Kravtsov (2007) 4.1 Introduction While… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Electricity prices in the European market have reached unprecedented levels, rendering millions with an uncertain future. Though the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the subsequent ban of Russian gas has been blamed for the ongoing crisis, the real reason for the catastrophe is the embrace of green policies by leaders who refuse to acknowledge… Continue Reading

Andy May – August 19, 2022 The SOHO Forum Debate began at 5:30PM (Central Time) on August 15, 2022 in the New York Sheen Center, as I announced here. Koonin won the Oxford Style debate since 25% of the in-person and online audience shifted to his view that the debate question: “Climate science compels us to make large and rapid reductions… Continue Reading
Andy May – August 15, 2022 There was a 49-to-24 percent pro-skeptic edge at the beginning but after the debate, the skeptics’ lead grew to 73-to-19 percent, wow. Maybe some of the skeptics pretended to be less skeptical in order to increase the positive shift caused by the arguments? Congratulations to Dr Koonin. Of course,… Continue Reading
Gregory Wrightstone – August 20, 2022 Imagine the theory of gravity being determined by a partisan vote. Or a group of politicians ruling on interpretations of the laws of modern physics. Bizarre as those propositions sound, that is what is happening in climate science. Scientific research is done predominantly in academia, where truth is supposedly… Continue Reading
CO2 Coalition member and coral reef scientist Dr. Peter Ridd provided a lengthy interview with in-depth background on the fabulous growth of the Great Barrier Reef to National Review. Remember that two decades ago both the polar bear and the Great Barrier Reef were the poster children of man-made warming. The polar is no longer… Continue Reading
Vijay Jayaraj – August 18, 2022 Restrictive energy policies have the world staring at an uncertain future. Advanced globally by undemocratic institutions like the United Nations and embraced to varying degrees by numerous national leaders, fanciful but dangerous commitments to eliminate emissions of carbon dioxide are contributing to energy shortages and inflation. Though the COVID-19… Continue Reading
