Imagine a nuclear reactor the size of a shipping container quietly powering your local hospital. It pumps out energy that’s cleaner than natural gas, more reliable than solar, and safer than any other energy source.… Read more
When a grid failure plunged 55 million people in Spain and Portugal into darkness at the end of April, 2025, it should have been a wake-up call on green energy. Climate activists promised that solar and wind power were the future of cheap, dependable electricity. The massive half-day blackout shows otherwise. The nature of solar and wind generation makes grids that rely on them more prone to collapse—an issue that’s particularly expensive to ameliorate.… Read more
This article, while technical, discusses the IPPC’s approach to greenhouse gases and asks: Would a true physical science conclude that increased carbon dioxide, a minor greenhouse gas, is the primary cause of the current ‘global warming’? The article is worth reading for anyone who wants an informed understanding of how a) greenhouse gases actually work and b) how the IPCC distorts the science of GHGs.
Is climate science a physical science? Is it based on physical evidence where the results of experiments and observations are the ultimate judge? As Richard Feynman stated in The Meaning of It All: “If there is an exception to any rule, and if it can be proved by observation, that rule is wrong.”… Read more
A gleeful, self-satisfied Mr. Punch was often heard to remark: “That’s the way to do it.” Today we examine the way that Mark Poynting, one of the BBC’s top doom-mongering Net Zero activists, uses the trusted “scientists say” message to turn a centennial sea level rise of around 30 cm (6 inches) into prose stating: “The world could see hugely damaging sea-level rises of several metres or more over the coming centuries.” … Read more
An anecdote, to begin.
In 2023, I was sentenced in Canada by the Ontario College of Psychologists and Behavioural Analysts to an unspecified period of professional “re-education” for what has been deemed my unprofessional conduct. If I refused to comply, then the college indicated its duty to revoke my professional licence as a clinical psychologist.… Read more
Rich Western nations and their development banks love to parade their climate virtue and wag their fingers at Africa. They insist that the continent leapfrog from no energy to trendy renewables like solar and wind, even as wealthy nations run mostly on fossil fuels. With the biggest voting share in the World Bank, the U.S. has effective veto power over major decisions at the globe’s largest multilateral organization—and the moral duty to put its foot down.… Read more
On Monday, April 28, at noon, life changed for Spaniards. With the sun at its peak, the country’s largely solar-powered electrical grid shut down. … Read more
The April 23, 2025, Saanich News has an article, “Sea-level rise threatens Vancouver Island communities,” stating that “scientists” warn that by 2050, some B.C. coastal areas could be permanently underwater by 2050.
This article is a reality check on these scientists.… Read more
