“There is no evidence that UN COP meetings and more than $10 trillion spent on renewables over the last 30 years have affected the climate. The average atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, which is blamed for global warming, has been rising over the last 50 years without any change to the trend.”
World leaders are in turmoil. For 30 years, the United Nations, World Economic Forum, and International Energy Agency, among business and political leaders called for a shift from hydrocarbon fuels to renewable energy. Thousands of laws were enacted to try to force a net zero energy transition. But it’s now clear that green energy is unable to meet the needs of growing developing nations or support the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution in advanced nations.
Since the founding of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992, the UN has led efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to try to fight human-caused global warming.…

The Climate Industrial Complex, the companies and their nonprofit allies, are flexing toward the middle. It is all about money and power, less about real human welfare re “saving the planet.’
This inconvenient truth has the true believers upset. Consider the latest from Roger Hallam, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, where he works full-time:
… Continue ReadingAnother disastrously pathetic response from “environmental campaigners” – who cares about the bloody “green new deal”. What needs to be communicated is that unless there is a drastic reduction in emissions – and that means including zero car emissions by 2030 – Europeans are going to starve to death.
Ed. Note: Joseph Bast, founder and head of the Heartland Institute from 1984 until 2017, wrote an open letter to NYT writer John Cushman (to no avail), titled “The best public policies will not be adopted if we allow the loudest and most alarmist voices in the debate to drown out the voices of reason.” It is reprinted below after Bast’s introduction at the time. A short conclusion describes Joe Bast’s multi-decade contributions to climate realism and sound energy policies.
In each of the past two years, John Cushman, an environment reporter for The New York Times, has written articles so atrociously one-sided and factually wrong that I felt compelled to write to him with friendly advice. Each time, I reprinted my letter in The Heartlander. And each time, John ignored me.…
