An errant environmental encyclical
Pope Francis’ prescriptions will perpetuate poverty, disease, premature death in Third World Paul Driessen The Laudato Si encyclical on climate, sustainability and the environment prepared by and for Pope Francis is often eloquent, always passionate but often encumbered by platitudes, many of them erroneous. “Man has slapped nature in the face,” and “nature never forgives,” […]
Twin peaks – twin lies
Supposedly record-high temperature and carbon dioxide levels supposedly bring record chaos Paul Driessen and Tom Tamarkin A recent NOAA article is just what Doctor Doom ordered. It claims the 18-year “hiatus” in rising planetary temperatures isn’t really happening. (The “pause” followed a 20-year modest temperature increase, which followed a prolonged cooling period.) The article states: […]
Putin and Buffett’s war on U.S. pipelines
Billionaires use secretive foundations to finance anti-pipeline protests – and get even richer Paul Driessen Abundant, reliable, affordable oil and natural gas empower people. They support job creation, mobility, modern agriculture, homes and hospitals, computers and communications, lights and refrigerators, life and study after sundown, indoor plumbing, safe drinking water, less disease and longer lives. […]
Curbing EPA abuses
Action needed now to end EPA deception, fraud, collusion, tyranny and destruction Paul Driessen Russian President Vladimir Putin is outraged that the United States has indicted 14 FIFA soccer officials, accusing them of corruption, racketeering, fraud and conspiracy, involving bribes totaling over $150 million in kickbacks for awarding tournament rights.

Bee facts changed – green agendas did not
Activists and White House appear ready to present new justifications for unjustified policies Paul Driessen The White House finally appears ready to announce conclusions and policy recommendations from the Pollinator Task Force it appointed a year ago. Environmentalist groups eagerly await the decision. After clamoring and campaigning for years for government action, they hope to […]
The Iceman Cometh?
Could a quiescent sun portend a new little ice age: a chilly era for humanity and agriculture? Paul Driessen President Obama, Al Gore and other alarmists continue to prophesy manmade global warming crises, brought on by our “unsustainable” reliance on fossil fuels. Modelers like Mike Mann and Gavin Schmidt conjure up illusory crisis “scenarios” based […]
Silencing conservatives and free speech
Congressional Democrats and Vatican join White House and Leftist assaults on basic rights Paul Driessen Our scientific method and traditions of free speech and open debate are under assault as never before, by intolerant inquisitors in our media, universities, government agencies, and even Congress and the Vatican. They threaten our most basic rights and freedoms, […]
A message for Pope Francis
It’s not climate change – but energy restrictions based on climate fears – that threaten the poor. Pope Francis plans to deliver an encyclical on climate change this summer. To pave the way and outline the Pope’s positions, the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences is holding a workshop on the topic, April 28 in Rome. […]
Lies my president told me
“The policies, laws and regulations affect everything we make, grow, ship, eat, drive and do – 100% of our energy based economy, not just one-sixth under ObamaCare – and put legislators, bureaucrats, activists and courts in ever-increasing control over our lives, livelihoods, liberties, living standards and life spans.”
A climate of fear, cash and correctitude
“Skepticism and debate would have saved resources and lives. However, the Stalinist political machine would not tolerate dissent. Today’s scientific disease is less pernicious.”
