The combination of… Continue Reading

By John Droz Jr., originally published on his Substack: Dr. Roger Pielke, jr is a well-known person in the climate arena, although his Science credentials are a bit wanting (e.g., his PhD is in political science). I worked with his dad (Dr. Roger Pielke, sr) for many years and he was a bona-fide climate scientist,… Continue Reading

By Ronald Stein and Dr. Cleveland Jones The few wealthy countries of Germany, Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand, other EU countries, and the USA, representing less than one of the eight billion on Planet Earth, are mandating social changes to achieve net zero emissions in their small worlds within this planet. The wealthier countries are… Continue Reading

From Gordon Tomb, originally published by The Daily Signal: It’s no secret that energy prices are on the rise. High demand for electricity and tight supplies—exacerbated by early retirements of coal-fired power plants—strain grid capacity nationwide. But rather than take accountability for destructive policies that produced these conditions, Democrat governors play the blame game. In October, electric… Continue Reading

From Cliff Reece, originally published by The Richardson Post: An electric car can burst into flames days after a fire appears to be extinguished. U.K.’s fire chiefs say the public must be told about the huge fire risks posed by electric vehicles, as their government moves ahead with a ban on new petrol and diesel cars.… Continue Reading

From Brian C. Joondeph, originally published by American Thinker: Baby, It’s Cold Outside is a popular Christmas song from another era, long before the MeToo virus infected society. The virus turned harmless flirting into a crime against humanity, disqualifying perpetrators from employment, government service, or polite society. Today, we sing, ma’am, sir, they, or ze,… Continue Reading

From Katy Grimes, originally published by California Globe: Thursday in the California Assembly, lawmakers debated and voted to approve $2.5B in wildfire relief bills, only after Democrats blocked an additional $1 billion for wildfire prevention, requested by Republicans. As the Globe reported, Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance) told colleagues that they need to address “the cause” of wildfire increases… Continue Reading

An interview with Steven Koonin, from Emily Yoffe, originally published by The Free Press: Emily Yoffe: Los Angeles is burning. President Joe Biden has said that climate change, which he just called the “single greatest existential threat to humanity,” is the cause. Many climate scientists agree with him. What do you say? Steven Koonin: Nonsense. While climate might… Continue Reading

From Dr. Richard Lindzen, originally published by The American Mind: Modern political movements have not infrequently laid claim to being based in science, from immigration restriction and eugenics (in the U.S. after WWI), to antisemitism and race ideology (in Hitler’s Germany), to Communism and Lysenkoism (under Stalin). Each of these falsely invoked a scientific consensus that… Continue Reading

From James Murphy, originally published by The New American: The Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel), composed of European and North American researchers and scientists, declared in a communique last week that the “imagined and imaginary ‘climate emergency’ is at an end.” The group met at the International Scientific Conference in Prague, Czech Republic, even as the UN’s COP29 climate… Continue Reading

From James B. Meigs, originally published by City Journal: Michael Shermer got his first clue that things were changing at Scientific American in late 2018. The author had been writing his “Skeptic” column for the magazine since 2001. His monthly essays, aimed at an audience of both scientists and laymen, championed the scientific method, defended the… Continue Reading

From David Trilling, originally published by The Harvard Gazette: Prices for hydrogen produced with clean energy will remain high, Harvard researchers demonstrate in the journal Joule, but the fuel may remain the only way to decarbonize some sectors. Green hydrogen is often touted as the solution for our toughest decarbonization problems: heavy industry, transportation, energy… Continue Reading

From Darren Parker, originally published by Engineering News: The energy transition in its current form, as a grid-scale build out of wind and solar with the goal to replace oil, coal and gas, is probably one of the greatest mistakes that humanity has ever made,” said German-listed commodity company HMS Bergbau Group shareholder Dr. Lars Schernikau, at nonprofit organisation FFF… Continue Reading

By Ron Barmby Gregory Wrightstone’s new book A Very Convenient Warming: How modest warming and more CO2 are benefiting humanity, is much more than a rebuttal to the mainstream media’s portrayal of climate change. Wrightstone’s book allows us all to have rational and informed conversations on climate change policies instead of the emotional approach which… Continue Reading

From Williamsport Sun-Gazette: Thirty years ago, more than 800 waste coal piles marred the Pennsylvania landscape, poisoning streams and emitting gaseous odors, including the rotten-egg smell of hydrogen sulfide. Then, as part of a statewide cleanup, power plants capable of burning low-quality coal began turning the waste into electricity. Indeed, some waste piles still smolder… Continue Reading

From Lucian G. Conway, originally published by The American Spectator: Few scientific efforts have been so dramatically ruined by politics as climate science. For over 30 years, thousands of climate scientists have pushed the message that the world is in serious jeopardy because of human-caused climate change. They have signed manifestos saying we are in a… Continue Reading

From RealClearEnergy: Headlines promote renewable energy equipment companies as part of efforts to transition to Net Zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Wind and solar system providers, electric vehicle manufacturers, green hydrogen producers, and other green equipment firms form a growing share of world industry. But renewable equipment firms suffer poor market returns, so investors… Continue Reading

From Ronald Stein and Oliver Hemmers, originally published by America Out Loud News: Delivery of affordable, abundant, reliable, clean, and emissions-free electricity to customers is very important to modern quality of life. Achieving this is threatened by a vulnerable grid and the intermittency of wind and solar electricity generation methods.  To meet the coming power… Continue Reading

From David Wojick, published by CFACT: The vigilant folks at the CO2 Coalition have been saying we are no longer teaching the scientific method in public school science education classes.
