The Green Immoralists

Commentary Thousands are dying from Russian missiles and bombs in the suburbs of Ukraine. In response, the Biden administration’s climate-change envoy, multimillionaire and private-jet-owning John Kerry, laments that Russian President Vladimir Putin might no longer remain his partner in reducing global warming. “You’re going to lose people’s focus,” Kerry frets. “You’re going to lose big-country…


This Invasion Is Brought to You by… Western Environmentalists

Commentary For more than 40 years, the environmentalist movement has been warning that global warming is the result of mankind’s burning of fossil fuels and poses an “existential threat” to human and other biological life. This is one of the many grandiose lies the Left uses to reshape, if not destroy, Western civilization. Other grandiose…


Climate Change: Gaslighting Americans Into Socialism, Part 1

Commentary  Is the push by America’s elite to “save the planet from climate change” actually just gaslighting Americans into socialism? I recently discussed the clear connection between the Central Bank policies and rising wealth inequality. However, an article by Ken Rogoff suggests the real need is more “fiscal policy.” To wit: “But interest-rate adjustments are…


Scientists Conclude Dire Climate Change Models Were Wrong, Now What?

Commentary  The Wall Street Journal reports “Climate Scientists Encounter Limits of Computer Models, Bedeviling Policy.” That is a non-paywalled, free-to-read link courtesy of the WSJ. It’s lengthy but an excellent read. I encourage everyone to take a look. The dire predictions went out the window, seemingly unanimously. But there is plenty in the article for…

Environmentalist David Suzuki has apologized for comments he made about pipelines being blown up if government leaders don’t urgently address climate change. In a statement on Thursday, Suzuki says his comments to CHEK News on Saturday were a result of his frustration at government inaction as climate change gets worse. Suzuki was asked in a…


Scientists: Global Cooling Imminent

In an exclusive interview, scientist Valentina Zharkova told The Epoch Times that her 2015 paper predicting the onset of a grand solar minimum between 2020 and 2053 has been borne out, prompting her to warn that temperatures could soon rapidly fall. Grand solar minima last for multiple solar cycles, during which the sun produces less…


Warmer Summers Worsen Tick Infestations for US Moose: Study

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.—It’s a ghastly sight: ticks by tens of thousands burrowed into a moose’s broad body, sucking its lifeblood as the agonized host rubs against trees so vigorously that much of its fur wears away. Winter tick infestation is common with moose across the northern United States—usually survivable for adults but less so for…


After Glasgow, 1.5 Is Dead—Get Over It

Commentary The Glasgow climate conference represents a strategic defeat for the West, and for Britain in particular. Boris Johnson unleashed everything he could muster. The royal family hosted receptions for multibillionaires. The Foreign Office sent climate envoys around the world. Glasgow would show the world that Britain could outdo France’s performance six years ago at…


Net Zero and Green Financial Repression

Commentary So far, the big message from the Glasgow climate conference is the role of finance in decarbonizing the global economy. It’s a dangerous development. In his speech to the twenty-sixth Conference of the Parties (COP26) last week, Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, pledged action to “rewire the entire financial system for Net Zero.” Finance…
