Why Has ‘Global Warming’ Disappeared?
Commentary After President Joe Biden entered the White House, he created a position that had never existed before in the history of the White House—”Climate Envoy,” and climate policy was elevated to a level of unprecedented importance by Biden and the forces behind him. Why is climate policy so important to the leftist politicians? In…
The Truth About Sea Levels and Fossil Fuels
Commentary Environmental activists, mainstream media outlets, and many scientists routinely claim governments must take drastic action to prevent rapidly rising seas. They claim unless humans are forced to stop using fossil fuels, low-lying islands and coastal areas will soon be swamped beneath the waves. To back up their claims, they cite statements (pdf) from the Intergovernmental…
The Big Green Lie
Commentary Public discourse about climate change often degenerates into personal attacks. Those of us who point out the many holes in the allegedly “scientific basis” of global warming alarmism are denounced as “deniers.” As I wrote in my article, “Who Are the Ideologues?,” the heart of alarmism is a radical political agenda—namely, for a socialistic,…
The Net-Zero Shell Game and Joe Biden’s Deceptions
Commentary President Biden’s Earth Day announcement that the United States is to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent from 2005 levels (equivalent to a 42 percent cut of 2019’s pre-Covid emission levels) within nine years comes with a double deception—one of cause and the other of effect. It aims to force America to…

Commentary Another pro-President Joe Biden union just told it’s rank-and-file members: Sorry, guys, you are all fired. Last week, the United Mine Workers of America union endorsed Biden’s energy policies. Yes, you read that right. The coal-mining union bosses have embraced a bill that outlaws coal mining. This is about as dumb as the Pipefitters…
US Industrial Production Warms With the Weather, Rising 1.4 Percent
WASHINGTON—American industry rebounded last month as the United States recovered from an unusually frigid February. Industrial production—including output at factories, mines and utilities—rose 1.4 percent in March, reversing a 2.6 percent drop in February, the Federal Reserve reported Thursday. The increase was about half the surge economists had expected as federal aid flows into the…
Supreme Extremism Will Leave Canadians Hurting
Commentary The Supreme Court of Canada ruled March 25 that the federal government is fully within its jurisdiction to impose a carbon tax on provinces, even if the duly elected governments of those provinces oppose the imposition of such a tax. Their rationale? The wisdom of Greta Thunberg. Judges aren’t scientists. They aren’t climate experts….
Boris Johnson: The Anti-Trump
Commentary Boris Johnson is sometimes likened to Donald Trump—a British-style populist, albeit one who can recite chunks of Homer’s “Iliad” in the original Greek. In truth, many of his positions are closer to those of President Joe Biden. Tackling climate change and biodiversity loss would be his government’s “number one international priority,” Johnson wrote in a foreword…
Biden Pushes Green Energy as Informed Environmentalists Abandon It
Commentary President Biden and others who would stake the future of modern civilization on wind and solar technologies are ignoring former environmental activists who have now soured on so-called green energy. As better-informed people increasingly turn to responsible use of fossil fuels and nuclear power, political leaders continue to pursue a false “green” promise. In Washington,…
