By Vijay Jayaraj Climate orthodoxy insists that the poorest nations, home to billions who still live in energy poverty, must power their rise from the edge of subsistence using expensive and unreliable solar and wind energy. But a country desperately trying to build up industry, jobs and infrastructure, had best bet on power sources that… 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

Researchers Say National Climate Assessment Full of Flaws, Ask Trump to Reassess Past Versions
Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) and the CO2 Coalition are asking the Trump administration to fix flaws they say are in the previous assessments. This would bring the influential reports in line with Trump’s “Restoring Gold Standard Science” executive order. From Kevin Killough, originally published at Just the News on June 24, 2025: A government watchdog… Continue Reading

By Dr. Bruce Everett and Gordon Tomb The recent Nature article, “Carbon Majors and the Scientific Case for Climate Liability,” tries to further the alarmists’ dream of pinning alleged harms of “extreme” weather on the world’s largest producers of fossil fuels.

Richard Lindzen Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Emeritus Massachusetts Institute of Technology William Happer Professor of Physics, Emeritus, Princeton University April 28, 2025 SUMMARY At the outset it is important to understand that carbon dioxide has two relevant properties, as a creator of food and oxygen, and as a greenhouse gas (GHG). As… Continue Reading

SEC’s Climate Risk Disclosure Rule Would Compel Companies to Make Scientifically False and Misleading Disclosures
By Stone Washington and William Happer In March last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued its climate risk disclosure rule, called “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors.” It requires companies to report enormously costly and voluminous data on their carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With this rule,… 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
By Vijay Jayaraj As the presidential election nears, it is reasonable to ask why the U.S. continues to give away billions to “avert” a fabricated climate crisis to countries that have little interest in participating in the charade beyond accepting handouts. The United States has been a significant contributor to global climate initiatives, most notably… Continue Reading

by Norman Rogers A popular saying is that those who don’t believe in God will believe in anything. Global warming provides an excellent reason for making an effort to believe in God, or at least in Judeo-Christian ideology that is the basis of our civilization.
