William Happer, Ph.D., Physics Gregory Wrightstone, M.S., Geology Frits Byron Soepyan, Ph.D., Chemical Engineering August 21, 2026   Assuming that any human-caused increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration decays exponentially to zero, with a time constant of about 50 years, gives modelled concentrations that agree very well with observed concentrations and emissions. Figure 1 shows observed… Continue Reading

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration G. Shanmugam Fossil fuels, climate change, and the vital role of CO2 plays in thriving people and plants on planet earth ABSTRACT A rigorous examination of empirical data confirms the fact that there is no threat from CO2 to People. Fossil Fuels (i.e., Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal)… Continue Reading

G. Shanmugam Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas 76019, USA ABSTRACT: Developed countries (e.g., USA, Germany, and France) have the unfair advantage over developing countries (e.g., Republic of the Congo, Republic of Kenya, and Sri Lanka) in imposing climate rules that enforce the use of expensive renewable… Continue Reading

Shanmugam The Peer-Review Problem: a sedimentological perspective Abstract: Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists of all time, had a deep disdain for peer review. The peer-review process, introduced over a thousand years ago in… Continue Reading

by Dr. Samuele Furfari Professor of Energy Geopolitics Like clockwork, we receive the annual Statistical Review of World Energy relevant to energy geopolitics every June. From 1954 until 2022, BP volunteered to compile this data. Initially, the review only covered oil, but was later expanded to include all fossil fuels, and finally to include data… Continue Reading

By Bruce M. Everett, Ph.D. May 8, 2025 Climate activists insist that (1) the narrative of catastrophic warming is rigorously formulated and beyond refutation and (2) oil and gas companies are global villains that should be brought to account for their sins. The recently published Nature article “Carbon Majors and the Scientific Case for Climate… Continue Reading

By Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. May 1, 2025 Cirrus clouds have been around forever. Cloud types were first named by English pharmacist Luke Howard in 1802 using Latin terms. Cirrus clouds refer to their hair-like appearance, but they can take on many shapes depending upon conditions such as humidity, the rate at which air is… Continue Reading
