New Climate Report Deserves to Be Debated, Not Silenced

Written by Veronique de Rugy

A new report from the U.S. Department of Energy concludes that, yes, the climate is changing and humans contribute to it — but no, it’s not necessarily the impending catastrophe we’ve been warned about. In another era, an agency charting this kind of middle course would be unremarkable. Today, it feels revolutionary.

The debate over climate change and responses has become so polarized that acknowledging the problem of human-driven warming without accepting a narrative that can sound apocalyptic invites attacks from all sides.… Continue Reading

Pritzker Calls for “Summer of Love” 2.0?

Politics, Not Science, Caused California Wildfires

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Over the next few days and weeks, one thing that is as sure as the sunrise is that political leaders, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, will repeatedly tell you that the recent fires that swept through their communities were caused by, you guessed it, climate change.

They will claim that the Los Angeles crisis is further proof that fossil fuels and cow flatulence are destroying the planet.… Continue Reading

Carbon Dioxide Cabal Finally Getting Pushback

Written by Robert Knight

What do some young activists in Montana have in common with Honolulu city officials?

It’s hysteria over carbon dioxide, the gas we breathe out, that makes all life possible.

Both groups have won recent court rulings in lawsuits to ban fossil fuels. The plaintiffs seek to punish companies that provide natural gas, oil and coal to power the electric grid, cars, airplanes, and other useful modern amenities.

This is beyond foolish. For instance, try getting to Hawaii using solar or wind power.… Continue Reading

Leftist Red-Green Axis Exploits Weather To Increase Its Power

Written by Robert Knight

Another scorching July week and another dire media warning that my car, your lawn mower and Aunt Jenna’s stove are heating up the Earth. Something drastic needs to be done.

It’s been hotter than usual and for longer, especially on the West Coast. The Los Angeles Times calls it “unprecedented.”

This is not to minimize the human cost of extended heat waves, but this is not a unique time. In the 1930s, many states set high-temperature records that still stand.… Continue Reading

Seven Years Ago Climate Scientists Warned the Maldives Were Disappearing. Guess What?

Written by Peter Heck

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. From a recent New York Times piece, spectacularly entitled, “A Surprising Climate Find:”

‘I’m confident that there’ll be islands in the Maldives’ 50 or 100 years from now, one of the researchers on the team, Paul Kench, told me while we were on Dhigulaabadhoo. ‘They’re not going to look like these islands; they’re going to be different. But there will be land here.’

Just a casual admission that those islands the climate change cult said were going to disappear aren’t going to be disappearing after all.… Continue Reading

Conservatives Hit With Massive Legal Judgments for Exercising Free Speech

Written by Robert Knight

Recent events give new meaning to the term “trumped-up charges.”

A Democratic New York State Supreme Court justice, in cahoots with a Democratic state attorney general, has written a new chapter in the book of political lawfare.

With no victims, no client complaints and no evidence of fraud, Judge Arthur Engoron nonetheless levied a $354 million fine against former President Donald Trump for the crime of doing business in the Democratic jurisdiction of New York.… Continue Reading

The Elites’ Extinction Agenda: Getting Rid of The Children

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

Recently, Jeffrey Clark, an associate editor for Fox News Digital, wrote an important column summarizing the growing call in media circles for “humans to go extinct.” In his article, Mr. Clark cites the oft-repeated refrain from cultural talking heads who now argue that “science proves kids are bad for the earth and that morality suggests we stop having them.”

Examples include Ginger Zee, a meteorologist on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” who recounted in December the tension she felt in becoming pregnant with her second child because some in her family didn’t think she would “do that again,” for the sake of the planet.… Continue Reading

Left Hellbent on Destroying Mom-And-Dad Families

Written by Robert Knight

Democrats, with help from feckless Republicans, have advanced the Orwellian-named Respect for Marriage Act. They’re trying to finish the job they began in the 1960s.

That’s when Lyndon Johnson launched the anti-marriage Great Society, whose welfare policies shattered the urban family and sentenced a major constituency to perpetual dependency. As President Biden says, “you ain’t black” if you don’t vote Democrat.

By destroying marriage and exiling black fathers, the party created an underclass that could be exploited indefinitely.… Continue Reading

Attacking America

Written by Gary Bauer

As the country struggles with record gas prices, it’s worth reviewing the left’s rhetoric and actions toward America’s energy industry.

Power plants, refineries and other major infrastructure sites have always been prime targets of our enemies. When hackers from Iran, Russia or communist China launch cyberattacks, our energy infrastructure is frequently at the top of their list.

But now the entire government of the United States is attacking our energy industry in the courts and through its vast regulatory powers. … Continue Reading
