By Paul Driessen ~ Grifters have long fascinated us. Operating outside accepted moral standards, they excel at persuading their “marks” to hand valuables over willingly. If they ever represented a “distinctly American ethos,” they’ve been supplanted by con artists seeking bank accounts for funds abandoned by Nigerian princes. Their artful dodging is epitomized by Frank […]
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 Paul Driessen ~ Many eco-activists (and too many legislators, regulators, judges and journalists) have trouble thinking beyond slogans. They apparently believe declaring ecological emergencies, repeating clever mantras, and issuing proclamations and mandates will create a fossil-fuel-free, organic farming utopia. In their dreams. Since 1950, American farmers increased per-acre corn yields by an incredible 500% […]
By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ That the weather is often unpredictable is well known. What may surprise you is that it will always be that way, especially long range weather, like a season or year ahead. And since climate is just average weather, it too will always be unpredictable. More on that later. Before we […]
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 […]
From the team at CFACT ~ “Davos”, the joke goes, “is where billionaires tell millionaires what the middle class thinks.” The mega-elites in Davos have invested completely in climate, prompting CFACT policy advisor Joanne Nova to describe the gathering as, “what it would look like if a doomsday cult had a billion dollars to spend […]
By Dr. John Happs ~ How often do the climate alarmists tell us that few glaciers still exist because of (imaginary) global warming and those that remain are rapidly melting away? Not surprisingly, the alarmists, particularly those from the media and vested interest groups, always point to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) computer […]
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 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 Duggan Flanakin ~ Absolem, Lewis Carroll’s blue caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland, smokes a hookah to pose as a creature of great wisdom. He blows smoke in Alice’s face and does little or nothing to help her escape a horrible fate planned by the Queen of Hearts. Puff, many may recall, is “the magic dragon” immortalized […]
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 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 Robert Lyman and Dr. Jay Lehr ~ Those who believe in an impending climate catastrophe often insist that the world must “decarbonize”, electrify the entire economy, and base future electricity generation entirely on renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass and hydroelectric generation. Rarely, however, do these advocates address the risks of such […]
By Peter Murphy ~ They took all the trees, put ‘em in a tree museum. – Joni Mitchell, from “Big Yellow Taxi” (1970) The great singer/songwriter, Joni Mitchell’s hit song quoted above was an environmental anthem a half century ago when the American public recognized and took action to mitigate a range of environmental problems, […]
By Paul Driessen ~ The climate crisis! Save our planet! Stop using fossil fuels! The ranting never ends. Present data showing that hurricane frequency and intensity are not increasing, but tornado activity has declined significantly since 1975; offer clear evidence of past, recurrent, major climate changes, including a widespread Little Ice Age from 1300 to […]
By Craig Rucker ~ America is floundering in an epidemic of anxiety, depression and drug use. One in six Americans takes some kind of psychiatric drug, mostly antidepressants, a medical study concluded, and some of them (Prozac and Paxil) are linked to acts of violence. A third of high school students cannot shake feelings of […]
By Dr. John Happs ~ “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the losers.” (Socrates: 470–399 BC) António Manuel de Oliveira Guterres is a Portuguese politician and former secretary-general of the Portuguese Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He has served as secretary-general of the United Nations (UN) since 2017, being re-appointed to […]
By Dr. Jay Lehr ~ Several states and a significant number of electric utilities have committed to decarbonization goals. Net zero emissions is the term most generally used when expressing these goals. Of course decarbonization is a totally false term. It actually means no carbon dioxide emissions, but as always, the term carbon is scarier […]
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 Peter Murphy ~ Prince-in-name-only Harry Windsor spoke at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City Monday as part of the UN’s honoring the late Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s freedom fighter and president. Evidently, it was too much for Harry to stay focused on Mandela’s heroic life story, a man who overcame long-time […]
By Ronald Stein ~ Life Without Oil is NOT AS SIMPLE AS YOU MAY THINK as renewable energy is only intermittent electricity from breezes and sunshine as NEITHER wind turbines nor solar panels can manufacture anything for society. The demand for fuels to move the heavy-weight and long-range needs of more than 50,000 jets for […]
By Craig Rucker ~ Things in the world have gotten ugly. Stocks are crashing. Inflation and gasoline prices are soaring. Poor and fixed-income families face growing hardships. Putin’s barbaric war in Ukraine rages on. And violent criminals and illicit drugs stream into America along with millions of “undocumented immigrants.” But amid these crises, Team Biden […]
