Fair trade for thee, but not for me
Imagine what a Tesla or wind turbine would cost if the Left followed its own “principles” Paul Driessen “Nobody wants to buy something that was made by exploiting someone else,” Ben & Jerry’s and Fair Trade co-founder Jerry Greenfield likes to tell us. Let’s hope he doesn’t drive an electric vehicle, doesn’t use a laptop or […]
Shameless fear-mongering – versus reality
Al Gore pedals climate and weather scam. CFACT film and Aussie book present Climate Facts.

This will serve as a “great example” of what […]
Exiting the Mad Hatter’s climate tea party
Trump was 100% right (not just 97%) to show real leadership and walk away from Paris Paul Driessen I can guess why a raven is like a writing-desk, Alice said. “Do you mean you think you can find out the answer?” said the March Hare. “Exactly so,” said Alice. “Then you should say what you mean,” the […]
Dear Mr. President: Please Exit Paris
Dear Mr. President: Please Exit Paris Are you are still wondering whether to Exit Paris? Overseas and US officials, environmentalists and bureaucrats urge you to Remain. But you promised voters you would Exit. Please keep your promises. Exit Paris isn’t about the environment. It’s about letting us utilize our fossil fuel energy to create jobs, rebuild […]
Nipping a legal problem in the bud
Consult with all affected parties, to ensure informed endangered species and pesticide policies Paul Driessen One of my recent articles predicted that the Fish & Wildlife Service’s endangered species designation for the rusty patched bumblebee would lead to its being used to delay or block construction projects and pesticide use on hundreds of millions of acres of US farmland. The […]
Land, energy and mineral lockdowns
Too many oil, gas, coal, rare earth and other vital resources are still off limits Paul Driessen President Trump has directed Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke to review recent land withdrawals under the 1906 Antiquities Act, to determine whether some should be reversed or reduced in size. The review is long overdue. The act was […]
