by Angela Wheeler Rather than a serious assessment of the connection between extreme weather and climate change, a recent National Academies of Sciences (NAS) webinar presented a 253-page report engineered to reinforce the shopworn claim that emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) threaten a climate crisis. The hour-long presentation was as thin on real science as… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Sometimes a story gets buried not because editors conspire against it, but because the news cycle has room for only one crisis at a time. This year the big news has been the Iran war. But even accounting for competing headlines, the silence around a genuinely consequential development is telling. And that… Continue Reading
By Samuel Furfari An Energy Institute report reveals a Europe clinging to the pretense of leading an “energy transition” as the continent declines under the weight of climate policies whose quixotically utopian objectives are negated elsewhere by fossil fuel-supported economic growth. Data from the 75th edition of the annual “Statistical Review of World Energy” will… Continue Reading

Frequency of Dust Storms: Increases Due to Climate Change (WHO, 2025) vs Decreases Due to Complex Factors in the Sahara-Sahel Region (Yeo et al., 2026)!
By Ganapathy Shanmugam, Ph.D. The prevailing climate narrative is that the frequency of dust storms (Fig. 1) tends to increase with global warming (Fig. 2). But the empirical datasets from the Sahara-Sahel region (Fig. 3) reveal that the opposite trend is true for the period 1984-2023 (Fig. 4). Dust storms A dust storm, also called… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Canada’s picturesque Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler, British Columbia, is 75 miles of soaring beauty. One of my favorites, the trip takes the traveler from sea level to an elevation of 2,200 feet with nearby peaks more than four times higher. Similarly inspiring in its economic rise was Canada… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj The June G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, marked a major pivot. Driven by severe energy and commodity shocks stemming from the conflict in the Middle East—specifically transit disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—G7 leaders overwhelmingly prioritized energy security, price insulation, and survival of the fossil fuel supply chain over aggressive timelines for… Continue Reading
By Frits Byron Soepyan By reporting the sensational claims of UNICEF, the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano joins in the fearmongering of climate alarmists whose credibility suffers from a lack of scientific facts. Drawing on UNICEF’s The Children’s Climate Risk Report 2026, the paper’s front-page, June 16 story, “Emergenze climatiche: Il cielo sopra i bam (Climate Emergencies: The… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj Instability in the Middle East has disrupted oil and gas flows to India. However, India’s proposed plan to produce 30% ethanol-blended gasoline and diesel as a response to supply anxiety would be a costly error. To understand the pending disaster, you only need look to the United States. Failed American corn-ethanol For… Continue Reading
By Gordon Tomb Northeastern states are scrambling to address rising energy costs. New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and others are even considering abandoning some of their most restrictive Green New Deal-style emissions policies to increase the supply of affordable sources. Such new energy projects are among the most difficult endeavors to bring to fruition. Requiring… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj A quiet technical decision in climate science should trigger one of the most consequential policy corrections of this decade. Deep within the bureaucratic machinery of global climate research sits an obscure modeling group called the Scenario Model Intercomparison Project. It is a foundational component of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project organized by… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj A claim that repeatedly clashes with observable reality demands scrutiny. Such claims survive only when contradictory evidence is buried, data selectively presented, or fear trumps fact. Such is the case with the apocalyptic narrative of climate change. One among the many pretenses of doomsayers is that shifting climate patterns threaten global food… Continue Reading
By Ganapathy Shanmugam, Ph.D. Deep Ocean Currents have been well documented in the World’s Oceans ((Heezen, Hollister and Ruddiman, 1966; Hollister, 1967; Pequegnat et al. 1972; Shepard et al. 1979; Shanmugam, 2016, 2017, 2021). Although there are claims of impact of CO2 on deep ocean currents, there are no published empirical data on measurements of… Continue Reading
By Gregory Wrightstone Policymakers are demanding that farmers scale back meat production, reengineer agricultural systems, and burden consumers with higher grocery bills to prevent a fabricated climate catastrophe. This is fearmongering based on false claims that methane emitted as a byproduct of livestock digestion contributes significantly to allegedly dangerous atmospheric warming. Happily, the pseudoscience of… Continue Reading
by James “Jed” E. Dukett The Clean Air Act (CAA) was signed on December 31, 1970, seven months after the first Earth Day. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, which I worked under for more than 27 years, reaffirmed and strengthened regulation of the six criteria pollutants under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Those… Continue Reading
by Dr. Samuel Furfari The crisis in the Strait of Hormuz reveals a truth that many European policymakers have ignored: Humanity remains structurally dependent on oil. This reality, first highlighted during the 1973 oil shortage and reinforced by the 1979 version – triggered by Iran – continues to be neglected, even openly dismissed, by certain political elites. A half… Continue Reading
by Vijay Jayaraj Calling carbon dioxide (CO2) a beneficial gas could draw mockery or moral outrage. Perhaps even an accusation of “denying science.” For nearly two decades, political forces successfully branded this life-giving gas a toxic agent, a cause of both floods and droughts and a thief of the grandchildren’s future. One solution was to… Continue Reading
by Vijay Jayaraj On a crisp, sun-drenched afternoon in the spring of 2023, I found myself walking down Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C., in front of the William Jefferson Clinton Building, headquarters of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Standing in its shadow, I wondered when, or if, sanity would ever return to the building. My mind drifted to the regulatory malfeasance that gave this… Continue Reading
by Vijay Jayaraj While the world’s self-appointed guardians of the thermostat lectured on the moral imperative of lowering living standards, they turned the sky above Davos into a parking lot for ultra-luxurious aviation. Reports from the World Economic Forum (WEF) revealed a grotesque spectacle of consumption that would make a Roman emperor blush. The globe’s… Continue Reading
by Vijay Jayaraj The repeated claim that climate science is “settled” overlooks myriad uncertainties, competing mechanisms and computer models that miss the mark when tested against reality. Declaring finality in such a field reflects political confidence – even arrogance – not scientific maturity. The model-reality divergence Computer models – based on faulty premises – are… Continue Reading
By Vijay Jayaraj What if the worst environmental problem wasn’t the one everyone is talking about? While Western elites sip fair-trade coffee and obsess over carbon footprints, the developing world drowns in a toxic soup of its own making – a crisis entirely distinct from the phantom menace of climate change. The real environmental emergency… 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 Vijay Jayaraj The quietude of looking out the kitchen window on a December morning at a meadow dusted in snow is magical. A deer pauses at the edge of the wood, breath steaming in the cold air, grazing on whatever bits of green poke through the snow. It is a scene replicated on greeting… 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 Vijay Jayaraj Australia’s green energy experiment has left millions of its citizens with a shaky power grid, serving as a case study on how blind allegiance to climate dogma leads to economic and social turmoil. The once sacred “net zero” pledge has been exposed as a curse producing public anger, stark warnings from industry… Continue Reading
