Instead of pouring billions into government mandates, India should drastically increase purchases of American natural gas to bypass the geopolitical instability of the Middle East. The U.S. possesses vast reserves of this energy–dense fuel to power industry, make fertilizers that sustain crop yields, and reliably generate electricity.

Ours is an agricultural golden age. The air is richer in the compound that gives plants life. The weather is more conducive to growing food than it has been in centuries. The fabricated doomsday scenarios of the climate industrial complex are ludicrous.

The case for attacking livestock methane is nonexistent, and the cost is enormous. Policymakers must start paying attention to real science and common sense.

Researchers have supposedly solved a long-standing atmospheric puzzle: How rising carbon dioxide cools the stratosphere even as it warms Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere.

Settled science becomes unsettled....film at 11.
New research on the Emeishan large igneous province shows atmospheric CO₂ fell by about 50% during early volcanism, likely driven by increased weathering from crustal uplift, challenging assumptions that large volcanic events necessarily raise global CO₂ levels.
The truth is, no one can ever know. And this is where the science rubber really hits the road.
Politicians in and around Washington, D.C., posture as guardians of the planet while standing by seemingly unconcerned for weeks as raw sewage from their backyard spills into the Potomac River flowing through the nation’s capital and into the Chesapeake Bay’s fishery.
With the EPA backing away from its regulation of greenhouse gases, developing countries should waste no time in severing whatever restrictions Western climate overseers have placed on their use of fossil fuels. For too long, climate policies have impeded economic growth and denied access to reliable supplies of electricity, to safer indoor fuels for cooking and heating, to refrigeration and to…
Today at 1:30 PM EST, the Trump administration — with President Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin on hand — is set to formally rescind the 2009 EPA “Endangerment Finding” We'll have it live here.
A new pollen-based reconstruction study shows Greenland warmed 10–16°C within decades during 11 Dansgaard–Oeschger events between 57,000 and 29,000 years ago, when atmospheric CO₂ was near 200 ppm. These globally expressed, circulation-driven shifts demonstrate that rapid, large climate changes occurred naturally under low and relatively stable carbon dioxide levels.
Viewing the climate issue as unsettled is not to deny science, but rather to respect it. Empirical inquiry thrives on skepticism, on a willingness to question assumptions, on the refusal to treat model outputs as conclusive. To dismiss this centuries-old process is to put at risk the lifestyles and lives of billions.
In announcing plans to have Virginia reinstitute a carbon tax, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger makes no mention of global warming – the bogeyman usually called upon by supporters of such levies. That may be because the apocalyptic narrative that industrial emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) threaten to overheat the planet has become widely seen as bogus – perhaps not fitting for a newly…
