Commentary Listening to National Public Radio (NPR) just now (why do I do this?), the lead item was about flooding in Kentucky. It seems that it rained a lot and some streets became impassable. Fascinating right? But why is this bit of local news a top-of-the-hour blast from government radio? You know why: the whole…
Thinking Smartly About Climate Change
Commentary The following is adapted from a speech delivered at a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar on April 24, 2023, in Irving, Texas. In a recent survey of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries—i.e., all the rich countries in the world—about 60 percent of respondents said they believe that global warming will likely…
Americans Have Never Been Less Threatened by ‘Extreme Weather’
Commentary “Extreme heat kills more people in the United States than any other weather hazard,” is the first claim in this Washington Post piece warning about the deadly summer heat—and it is almost certainly false. Similar warnings about the deadly weather appear in virtually every mainstream media outlet. First off, the only reason “extreme” temperature…

News Analysis Two years ago, efforts by climate activists and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investors to block investment in oil and gas production by Western companies appeared to have received a seal of approval from no less an authority than the International Energy Agency (IEA), when it published “Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for…
The Heat You’re Feeling Could Just Be El Nino
If temperatures hit unseasonable highs this fall and winter don’t blame fossil fuels, blame El Nino, a group of climate analysts say. Flying in the face of the prevailing narrative on climate change, a recent report on the Pacific Ocean weather phenomenon known as El Nino argues that this weather phenomenon corresponds more closely to…
When Blue-Collar Worker Are Abandoned in Favor of ‘Social Justice’ Warriors
Commentary CHESWICK, Pennsylvania—Up until two years ago, it would only take 12 hours for coal mined deep in a labyrinth operation 60 miles from here to go from that underground mine, through a high-tech cleaning procedure, and be loaded on a barge or rail car and brought to the Cheswick Generating Station, a coal-fired power…
Debunking Another Misleading Green Energy Study
Commentary A popular talking point among green energy evangelists is that gas, oil, and coal are, in large part, successful because they are highly subsidized. Wind and solar, so the argument goes, would win in a fair fight, but, alas, the playing field is far from fair. But the supposed data they are drawing on to come…
Stop Scaring Our Kids to Death
Commentary As nearly every standardized test is showing, our schools are doing an abysmal job teaching kids how to read or do math. In some cases, kids graduating from high school can barely read their diplomas. But the schools are wildly succeeding with their climate change indoctrination program. When I speak to kids on high…

Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King has supported carbon capture and storage (CCS) as the way for the industry to reach net-zero emissions. “Traditional commodities, including our energy resources, will play an essential role in supporting Australia’s economy transition to net-zero while also continuing to underwrite energy security for our key trading partners,” King said at the APPEA…

News analysis John Kerry leads an international jet-set life that might exhaust a runway model. If President Biden’s special envoy for climate was not in Washington or relaxing at his mansion near Nantucket Harbor, he could be found in Brazil, Panama, the Bahamas, or Germany. And that’s just in February and March. While Kerry trumpets…
