by James Dukett The Washington Post recently ran a Feb. 11, 2026 article titled “Scientists thought they understood global warming. Then the past three years happened.” As I read it, and as we move through this Adirondack winter, my mind couldn’t help drifting to the green grass of the ballpark. And with the annual bombardment… Continue Reading
by Vijay Jayaraj Politicians in and around Washington, D.C., posture as guardians of the planet while standing by seemingly unconcerned for weeks as raw sewage from their backyard spills into the Potomac River flowing through the nation’s capital and into the Chesapeake Bay’s fishery. The spill started January 19 with the failure of a 60-million-gallon-a-day… Continue Reading
by Sharon Camp While an educational manual for federal judges was improved when a biased representation of climate change was removed, a remaining chapter on the fundamentals of science would poison the judiciary with quackery. The “How Science Works” chapter of the “Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence” allows for an overreliance on the unproven assumptions… Continue Reading
by Brian C. Joondeph Open the Denver Post and you might experience intellectual whiplash. In one article, readers are warned that Colorado ski resorts face an uncertain future due to climate change, with “less reliable powder days” threatening the industry. Resorts must invest in snowmaking, diversify revenue streams, and brace for a warming planet. Right beside… Continue Reading
by Dr. Samuele Furfari On January 7, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from 66 international organizations deemed “redundant, poorly managed, unnecessary, costly, ineffective,” or instruments of America’s adversaries. Among them are various United Nations agencies and, most significantly, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the1992 United… Continue Reading
by Gregory Wrightstone In announcing plans to have Virginia reinstitute a carbon tax, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger makes no mention of global warming – the bogeyman usually called upon by supporters of such levies. That may be because the apocalyptic narrative that industrial emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) threaten to overheat the planet has become… Continue Reading
By Tilak Doshi In a commentary article in the Financial Post on Tuesday, Bjørn Lomborg argues that Net Zero is “on its way out”, as politicians across the world face up to the high cost and tiny climate returns of raising energy prices. With voters “weary of soaring energy bills and annoyed by increasingly hysteric… Continue Reading
By Gordon Tomb Newly proposed regulations on Pennsylvania natural gas purport to protect the environment. However, the restrictions, if passed, would shut down an industry that has moderated electricity rates and reduced the cost of gas, saving consumers billions. Under consideration in the state House of Representatives and at the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)… Continue Reading
By Gordon Tomb As global corporations and governments increasingly shed ideologically driven policies that raise energy prices and undermine supply, governors in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic cling to counterproductive agendas of contradiction and equivocation. Programs that prioritize dubious environmental goals over economic growth and basic human needs have been losing support. In the U.S., the… Continue Reading
by Dr. Samuele Furfari The dramatic arrest of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro sent shock waves around the world. Yet nowhere was the reaction more negative – and more baffling – than in the European Union, where outrage swept through public discourse, a stark contrast to the generally positive reaction in the U.S. and elsewhere. Much of this anger was… Continue Reading

Rejecting Climatism: Trump Withdraws from UNFCCC and 66 International Organizations
By Steve Goreham The Trump administration has issued an executive order that withdraws the United States from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and other international bodies. The order pulls the US back from organizations pursuing climate policies and other efforts that the administration does not consider to be in the national… 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 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 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
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 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
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 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 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
