Environment & Energy

Before the 1800’s humanity had no products from oil to make life more enjoyable.

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.

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.

The media has been quick to dub this the 'hottest summer on record', but what does that truly mean in the vast timeline of Earth's climatic history?

Unlike devotees of the pagan Church of the Climate Apocalypse, these nuns are actually doing the work of God.

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.

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.

All the parts to generate electricity, and all the components needed to use electricity, are all made from the oil derivatives manufactured from raw crude oil.

China has as much coal power now just in some phase of planning or construction as what the U.S. now has in its entirety.

With sales of the F150 Lightning tanking, Ford has now canceled all dealer stock orders for the vehicle

In episode 83 of "Climate Change Roundtable," we will review the film "A Climate Conversation," in a discussion with the producers and narrator.

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.

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.

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.”

Everyone talks about blackouts, but I have not seen a detailed analysis of the various ways these might occur.

Mismanagement of forests in California and Canada has contributed to fires. Neglect of levees left New Orleans vulnerable to Katrina.

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.

Despite a modest warming over the past century, agricultural yields continue to grow, setting several new record highs in the past decade.

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.

We are told constantly by the media, politicians, and now even the Pope that we must change our lifestyle in an effort to combat climate change. Yet, most people don't care.

World leaders continue experiencing a “dangerous delusion” of a global transition to “just electricity” that they believe will eliminate the use of the crude oil that made society achieve so much in a few centuries.

This week we look at green energy, and a book showing how it will likely fail in the near future.

Between December, 2022 and May of this year, 60 large whales, including one right whale, washed up dead on the beaches of NY, NJ, and VA.

Total data center power requirements will increase by at least a factor of six and maybe by as much as 10 times by 2029. Greenhouse gas emissions from AI data centers will increase by similar amount.
