The end is nigh If you scanned the websites of two of the world’s most-read newspapers on October 7th, 2018, you might have feared the end of the world
By Brian Myers At least weekly letters in the Deseret News tout the benefits of a carbon tax and dividend, wherein oil companies are taxed at the wellhead and the proceeds are returned to consumers. Almost every letter boasts that this is a win-win for everyone. It solves global warming by curbing production! It costs consumers
By Mark Mills The energy sources that environmentalists want us to depend on are themselves dependent on overseas materials and components.

By Mark P. Mills China is about one month ahead of the United States in exiting the Covid-19 shutdown. That country’s rush-hour traffic jams now equal or exceeded pre-lockdown levels, even in Wuhan. This quick reversal happened despite claims that telecommuting would “change everything,” especially old-fashioned commuting and, thus, oil demand. At a global level, the

Climate Science Discovers the Miracle of Photosynthesis. By Lushington D.
