The Rise of the Climate Right

By Kimberly Strassel - We still don’t know the extent to which human activity plays a role in warming, given natural variability, data limitations, uncertain models and fluctuations in solar activity. Models predicting what is to come remain all over the map. U.S. historical data doesn’t support claims of increased frequency or intensity of extreme weather. Climate change is likely to have little effect on economic growth. U.S. climate policies, even drastic ones, will have negligible effect on global temperatures. Read More

When the Only Problem Was Climate Change B

By Bjorn Lomborg - Time hasn’t been kind to the idea that climate change was humanity’s last problem or that the planet would unite to solve it. A rapid global transition from fossil fuels is, and always has been, impossible. There are several reasons that make it so. Many developing nations never shared the Western elite’s obsession with reducing emissions. Life for most people on earth is still a battle against poverty, hunger and disease. Corruption, lack of jobs and poor education hamper their futures. Tackling global temperatures a century out has never ranked high among the priorities of developing...

It … actively undermines respect for the rule of law…. Read More

Emission Cuts Will Fail to Stop Climate Change. What to Do Then? B

By Tunku Varadarajan , Nathan Myhrvold - ...“There are activists who oppose funding or experiments. There’s no evidence I can see that many of the people involved in the climate debate want a solution.”...Geoengineering would appear to be the application of science par excellence. …“Opponents worry that once you have geoengineering, people won’t make sacrifices to cut emissions. They want a sword of Damocles hanging over humanity as a means to force us to follow their ideology.”…. In climate change, he says, this moralistic attitude takes the following form: “I don’t like aspects of our society, I don’t like technology,...

Biden’s Not-So-Clean Energy Transition B

By Mark P. Mills - You know, the plan to use far more “clean energy” and far less hydrocarbons—the oil, natural gas and coal that today supply 84% of global energy needs. The IEA’s 287-page report released this month, “The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions,” is devastating to those ambitions. Read More
