Firing Globalism on Climate Alarm (EO 14199)

“Many of these bodies promote radical climate policies, global governance, and ideological programs that conflict with U.S. sovereignty and economic strength.” – White House (below)

The White House released this statemen on January 7, 2026:

WITHDRAWING FROM INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations that no longer serve American interests.

The Memorandum orders all Executive Departments and Agencies to cease participating in and funding 35 non-United Nations (UN) organizations and 31 UN entities that operate contrary to U.S. national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty.

This follows a review ordered earlier this year of all international intergovernmental organizations, conventions, and treaties that the United States is a member of or party to, or that the United States funds or supports.…

“Should LCOE finally be retired from energy policy?”

“The LCOE narrative has just collided with reality. If ‘cheap’ solar and wind really were enough, the energy transition would largely run on autopilot. Emissions would fall. Subsidies wouldn’t be needed. Electricity would get cheaper. None of that is happening.” – Jonas Kristiansen Nøland, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (below)

Noncompetitive energies need studies; competitive energies need markets. This insight deserves to become an adage in today’s contentious debates over relative costs for electric generation. This is particularly true for levelized cost of energy (LCOE) studies purporting to show that wind and solar generation is competitive with thermal generation from oil, gas, and coal.

The most recent attempt is by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), titled “91 Percent of New Renewable Projects Now Cheaper Than Fossil Fuel Alternatives” (July 2025).…

Thirty Failed Climate Forecasts (optimism please)

Martin Ecclestone on social media (November 4, 2025) usefully provided a historical review of climate exaggeration. “Educate yourself,” he began. “Uninformed personal opinions don’t change facts.”

Here’s a list [30] of the major climate-change impacts that climate scientists predicted and that have already eventuated (observed and documented in the scientific literature and major assessments). I’ve kept each item short — if you want, I can expand any item with dates, regions, or citations.

1. Global mean surface temperature rise (planet warming).

2. More frequent and/or more intense heatwaves (land).

3. Ocean warming (upper ocean and deep ocean temperature increase).

4. Global sea-level rise (mean sea level increase).

5. Melting of glaciers and mountain ice (glacial retreat).

6. Loss and thinning of Arctic sea ice (decline in extent and volume).

7.…
