Misguided Environmentalists Have Made Our Cities Filthy
Opinion -Legacy Climate Change Weekly -Newsom’s superficial, last-minute attempt to sanitize San Francisco symbolizes the superficiality of the modern environmental movement and the misplaced priorities of climate change crusaders. -
Lockdown Fallout: Adults Are Stressed and Kids Are Depressed
Opinion -Legacy Climate Change Weekly -Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of all of the destruction wrought by ill-conceived lockdowns and pointless school closures is the fact that this was completely avoidable. -

More Than Nine in 10 Americans Say ‘No Thanks’ to Latest COVID-19 Booster Shot
Opinion -Legacy Climate Change Weekly -The American people are obviously skeptical about receiving yet another COVID-19 booster, which makes sense given the doublespeak, disturbing side effects, and lack of efficacy regarding the vaccine and boosters over the past few years. -
Despite Massive Subsidies, the Green Energy Transition Is Floundering
Opinion -Legacy Climate Change Weekly -According to a recent report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the federal government has doled out $183.3 billion in direct and indirect subsidies for green energy over the past six years alone. -
The Average Cost of Public School Education Is 58 Percent More Than Private School
Opinion -Legacy Climate Change Weekly -Compared to private schools, public schools are costly and ineffective. An array of facts indicate that this situation—which poses a dire threat to the entire nation—can be improved by competition from school choice. -
The Actual ‘Climate Change’ Agenda
Opinion -Sadly, the climate change-industrial complex, a multi-trillion-dollar money machine, has irrevocably corrupted the once-hallowed scientific community. -
Comparing the New CCC to the Original
Opinion -Presidential power is only limited by the checks and balances of the other two branches, and then only if Congress or the courts decide to intervene. -
How Public Schools Cement Power
Opinion -School choice is no longer a fringe idea of traditional-leaning parents. Parents of all walks of life have come to learn the government can no longer be trusted to teach their children. School choice reforms are sweeping the nation, but don’t expect the government schools to bow out quietly. Many are stealthily cementing their power. -
Five Years Later, Evidence of Fracking’s Safety Is Stronger than Ever
Opinion -Since 2010, there have been more than two dozen peer-reviewed studies determining the fracking process is not a systemic threat to groundwater. -
Beware the Offshore Wind Oligarchy
Opinion -Of course it is possible the states will simply ditch the targets, or slip them harmlessly into the future, so they can repeatedly reject the high bids. This might even wipe out offshore wind, which is what it deserves. Watching that happen, perhaps even helping it along, could be great fun. -
Americans’ Trust in Mass Media Sinks to Record Low
Opinion -Unfortunately, the days of the mass media bringing the news fully, accurately, and fairly are long gone. Unlike the 1970s, when the mass media reported the news, today, the mass media have an agenda and use their media megaphone to shape the news to fit with their preferred ideological narrative. -
Biden Declares War on Menthol Cigarettes
Opinion -Although well-intended, the FDA’s rule to ban menthol cigarettes based on the premise that removing these products from the marketplace will reduce youth experimentation and addiction to such products is rather unconvincing. -
Green Hydrogen Needs Vast Subsidies
Opinion -Governments propose to replace hydrocarbon fuels with hydrogen fuel, using hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies. But vast subsidies won’t be enough to overcome the insurmountable problems with green hydrogen fuel. -
Decisions Based on Science, or Spirits?
Opinion -Like most people, I am fascinated by Native American history and traditions. There is much to admire about those people, several of whom are among my own ancestors. But we should not confuse that admiration with science. Most Native Americans today certainly would not do so. -
A Skeptical Look at Laudate Deum
Opinion -The moral questions that are addressed by Pope Francis do merit consideration. Pollution and litter are real issues, along with unnecessary deforestation, overfishing, and poaching. Poverty is likewise something Christians are called to be concerned about. Fortunately, both of those issues can be aided by helping impoverished nations unlock their energy industries and invest in development. People are more concerned with conservation when they are not so worried about putting food on the table. -
Hard Evidence Warranting the Impeachment of Joe Biden
Opinion -At least 12 sets of documented facts prove that Joe Biden engaged in actions that accord with textbook definitions of bribery, extortion, abuse of power, and obstruction of justice. Furthermore, no less than three major defenses of Biden are littered with half-truths and outright falsehoods. -
New Documentary Challenges ‘Climate Crisis’ with Facts, Sound Science, and Commonsense
Opinion -For far too long, the climate alarmists have held great sway over the dissemination of information that counters their narrative, including assistance from Big Tech in their quest to suppress any and all counterarguments. For anyone seeking an even-handed, fact-based approach to one of the most significant issues of our time, “A Climate Conversation” is a must-see. -
Christopher Columbus and Hurricanes in the Atlantic
Opinion -Records like the ones kept by Columbus and his fellow voyagers are now indispensable for meteorologists who depend on them to piece together part of the picture of weather history. Sailors kept great records, which is how they knew to plot their courses and the timing of their departure from safe harbor so that they avoided being in hurricane hot zones during the peak of the season. -
The Climate Change-Industrial Complex Is an Existential Threat
Opinion -Before it is too late, those of us who will pay the ultimate price, both in a degraded standard of living and a less free and open society, must push back against the climate change-industrial complex. For if we do not, we may, as Ike warned, let “public policy … itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.” -
The ‘Green Pope’ Is Dead Wrong, Again, on Climate Change
Opinion -Put simply, Pope Francis is completely wrong regarding all things concerning climate change. However, I can’t help but wonder if he is being used as a pawn by those who benefit from touting the climate change lie, seeing as how he is the leader of one of the most influential religious institutions the world over. Maybe climate change and religion, which are both based on belief, have more in common than we thought. -
The Real Subject of the Budget Debate Is the Uniparty
Opinion -Regardless of the ultimate outcome of this political battle over the budget, the shutdown conflict is undermining the foundations of the uniparty because a small group of Republicans has finally decided to act as reformers instead of conservatives. -
Superfund Cleanups Descend into Uncertainty
Opinion -Sound public policy should encourage companies to step forward, begin the cleanup process and later recoup costs they have incurred beyond their fair share. Government should find ways to save Superfund money for situations where responsible parties cannot be located or no longer exist.
