The modern debate over food has produced a strange moral arithmetic. A vocal segment of today’s environmental movement insists that killing a calf or drinking a glass of milk is an act of cruelty, yet it defends the legal right to end a human life in the womb. This is not a minor inconsistency. This […]

[We reprint this article because its lessons are equally applicable to how Americans have responded to self-proclaimed experts about climate change over the last two decades and more.—ECB] The following is a guest article by Barry Brownstein. In a 2021 AIER essay, “Liberating Yourself from Faucism,” I wrote: “The issue isn’t Anthony Fauci’s failings. The

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg earned her moniker Doom Pixie because of her diminutive height and shrill accusations of human and planetary doom allegedly due to fossil-fuel-fueled climate change. Her most famous tirade was directed at world leaders for allegedly doing too little to stop it. “How dare you?” she fiercely scowled at United Nations Secretary-General

For campaigners of the net zero agenda, “climate action” must come first, even if it means throttling the energy lifelines for billions of the poor. The data say something very different. A sweeping analysis by Kevin Dayaratna and Kat Miller, “Energy Abundance and Human Flourishing: A Data‑Driven Global Analysis,” shows what history has already taught

Climate alarmists treat fossil fuels as the producer of soot and environmental damage, yet the record is more complicated and quite positive. New research shows nitrogen deposition from the burning of hydrocarbons has helped to expand plant growth and the greening of large parts of the planet. A Nutrient Hidden in Emissions A 2026 global

Back in May, Lake Mead had already dropped to 1,050 feet above sea level, which was 25 feet below its critical level of 1,075 feet. The huge reservoir, held in place by Hoover Dam, was just below 1,040 feet as of August 13. When the lake level falls to 1,035 feet, Hoover Dam will have

Four years after TotalEnergies vacated its Afungi site in northern Mozambique amid civil unrest, the company restarted its $20 billion liquefied natural gas project. The gas had not moved. The geology had not improved. What changed sat 8,000 miles away at the U.S. Export-Import Bank, where a newly appointed board reauthorized a $4.7 billion loan

Lake Mead behind Hoover Dam is now within several feet of the lowest level at which turbine power generation must be greatly curtailed. Recent news articles often blame the cause on a “millennium drought” being experienced in the West. Of course, much of the western U.S. experiences drought conditions every summer, which is part of
[Editor’s note: The theory of major climate and weather changes brought about by relatively minor perturbations has always troubled me as inconsistent with the Biblical teaching that what God made—including Earth’s climate system—was “very good”(Genesis 1:31). This article explores the likelihood that the “butterfly effect” occurs only in computer models, not in the real world.—ECB]

The following is a guest article by Dick Storm and Ronald Stein. Most California politicians have opposed zero-emissions electricity generated by nuclear power since 1976, when they passed the moratorium on new nuclear power plants. Nuclear is the cleanest, safest, most proven, and lowest-emitting energy source, yet most California politicians oppose it. California once had
