By Peter Murphy ~ “Trekkies” should recall this pithy exchange about endangered humpback whales from the 1986 feature film, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, between Leonard Nimoy’s famous character and actor Catherine Hicks, who played “Dr. Taylor,” the cetologist. “Mr. Spock” stated, To hunt a species to extinction is not logical; to which “Dr. Taylor” […]
By Larry Bell ~ Allysia Finley, a regular Wall Street Journal contributor, posted an article a couple weeks ago titled “The Climate Crusaders Are Coming for Electric Cars Too,” a prophesy consistent with a concerning social control trend I have witnessed as well. It’s not that “green” lobbies have the necessary public support to succeed […]
By Ronald Stein ~ The ruling class, powerful elite, and the media lack some energy literacy which may be the reasons they avoid conversations about the ugly side of “green” mandates and subsidies. Before anyone in Washington decides to procure wind turbines, solar panels, or an EV, they should read the Pulitzer Prize nominated book “Clean […]
By Duggan Flanakin ~ In Disney’s 2005 adaptation of the tale of Chicken Little, the squawking bird that for over a century had been the symbol of the follies of alarmism becomes the heroine for sounding the alarm – turning the moral of the venerable story on its head. Half a century ago, our first climate […]
By Jay Maxson ~ While freezing their tootsies atop lofty mountain peaks, America’s best alpine skiers will be sweating out the dubious threat of climate change during next week’s competition. Team USA “Climate Change Kool-Aid” drinkers will be decked out in blue and white suits bearing replicas of satellite photos portraying melting icebergs floating in the […]
By Anthony B Kim ~ During his remarks Tuesday at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, John Kerry, President Joe Biden’s climate envoy, rather absurdly declared that “it’s so almost extraterrestrial to think about saving the planet.” Indeed, Kerry’s assertion sounds so alien, particularly considering the reality of how China, the world’s top […]
By Rupert Darwall ~ Fed-speak, Alan Greenspan once explained, was about practicing the art of constructive ambiguity. Testifying to Congress as Fed chairman, Greenspan would resolve a sentence in a deliberately obscure way that made it incomprehensible, “but nobody was quite sure I wasn’t saying something profound when I wasn’t.” Speaking on Tuesday at a symposium on […]
By Craig Rucker ~ Coal, oil and natural gas – in conjunction with innovative free-enterprise capitalism — have lifted billions out of drudgery and poverty and brought unprecedented prosperity to billions of people. They’ve blessed humanity with pharmaceuticals, plastics, cell phones, sanitation and countless other benefits that wouldn’t have otherwise existed. For example, thanks to […]
By Paul Driessen ~ Warning: Your retirement fund may have been Shanghaied by BlackRock or other Wall Street asset managers who’ve unilaterally decided that the tens of trillions of dollars of other people’s money they control should be used to advance political causes they favor – to “make the world a better place.” As most […]
From the team at CFACT ~ According to Oxford Languages, “Mission Creep” is defined as “a gradual shift in objectives during the course of a military campaign, often resulting in an unplanned long-term commitment.” It’s a term that unfortunately is a perfect description of the United Nations’ (UN) Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). What may have started out […]
By Tim Graham ~ Wow, if you have any love for humanity, you might not want to renew your subscription to The Washington Post. On Monday, Karol Markowicz at Foxnews.com wrote about Post “climate zeitgeist reporter” Shannon Osaka and her December 2 article on how having children is an irresponsible act when climate change threatens […]
By Bonner Cohen, Ph.D. ~ We have long known that Norsemen settled Greenland just over a millennium ago, where for the next several hundred years they survived primarily by fishing and hunting in a much warmer climate than Greenland has today. They called their new home Greenland because this giant island in the North Atlantic […]
From the team at CFACT ~ By Jennifer Schubert-Akin ~ Americans can be forgiven if they missed the Thanksgiving week news that we are now on the hook to pay climate reparations. At the recent conclusion of the United Nations climate change confab known as COP 27, attendees, including the U.S. delegation led by John Kerry, […]
By Dr. John Happs ~ English Heritage may have found a novel way of generating more funding, aided and abetted by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The claim is made that a number of castles in the UK are now under threat from – you guessed it – human-induced climate change. They state that: “Castles […]
By Jeffrey Clark ~ As Americans brace for one of the most expensive Thanksgiving celebrations in years due to inflation, one Washington Post columnist lectured families on how to hold a “climate-friendly” feast. Washington Post food columnist Tamar Haspel’s ideal climate meal may be a little strange, even for eco-fanatics. Haspel in a Nov. 17 […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ This preposterous claim shows the dangerous absurdity of the “loss and damage” doctrine. At this rate of damage the global total would run around TWO HUNDRED TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. There is not that much money in the whole world. The $800 billion a year is from a report presented […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ The extreme rhetoric of “loss and damage reparations” could backfire, causing developed countries to question the developing country claims of human caused damage. The best defense against a ruinous liability claim is innocence. Until now the alarmist governments of America and the other developed countries have gleefully touted the emergency […]
By Peter Murphy ~ Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt The “Blue Zone” of the United Nations 27th Climate Summit is the where the conference itself takes place and where most delegates spend each day. During the latter half of the first week, CFACT took a half-day in the “Green Zone,” which is typically where non-governmental climate organizations […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ Deliberate vagueness is a hallmark of diplomacy and the elusive concept of “loss and damage” has made the grade in Egypt. The concept will now be discussed, but without the central feature of liability. Reminder: the idea is that because of prior emissions and such the developed countries are responsible […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ Who would have guessed that a UN COP would turn into a promotion point for fossil fuel development? COP27 is looking that way, thanks to the energy crisis and Africa’s determination to develop itself. After all, these are developing countries, right? In this case some of them want to develop, […]
By Tim Graham ~ In January of 2021, The New York Times promoted a book titled How To Blow Up a Pipeline by transparently radical author Andreas Malm. On Thursday, the Times directly promoted Malm by publishing his guest essay under the headline “History May Absolve the Soup Throwers.” That’s too tender a headline, for […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ Anthony Watts has done it again. He and his intrepid brigade of field workers have done what the super rich US Global Change Research Program cannot seem to do, or does not want to do. They actually went out to see how well the Federal thermometers met the required performance […]
By Larry Bell ~ We are already witnessing disastrous economic and social consequences of energy policies premised upon precautionary “worst case” climate model projections that leading scientific contributors to the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) now admit are running far too hot. As reported in the prestigious journal Nature, the latest round of […]
By Ronald Stein ~ Escalating climate change pressures are strangling capital flows for oil and gas producers, driving up the price of gasoline, electricity, and home heating and cooling. World leaders and the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) movement that are setting policies to rid the world of fossil fuels, have short memories of petrochemical […]
