Millions Died Thanks to the Mother of Environmentalism
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics /by DrRichSwier.comBy Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) On Jan. 24, 2017, PBS aired a two-hour special on Rachel Carson, the mother of the environmental movement. Although the program crossed the line from biography to hagiography, in Carson’s case, the unbridled praise was well deserved – with one exception. Rachel Carson was an American hero. In the […]
Climate Facts In One Minute
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment /by DrRichSwier.comBy Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow The Left is notorious for burying information beneath thousands of pages to hide the truth behind climate change. The recent 4,000-page AR6 Climate report from the UN’s IPCC is a case in point. Wouldn’t it be nice to get the straight facts without having to sort through countless […]
STOP National Heritage Areas! Or Death by a thousand cuts.
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment /by Lane Watkins When I first learned of a plan to create a National Heritage Area (NHA) in NW Florida, I learned it would supposedly create economic development through historic and cultural tourism and would showcase our historic sites. That didn’t sound concerning. Then I discovered that it would encompass 14 counties, be funded through your hard […]

/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment /by Committee For A Constructive TomorrowFew things have been demonized by the liberal media as much as the process of hydraulic fracturing, aka “fracking,” for oil and natural gas.

Carbon Tracking Credit Cards
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Science /by Committee For A Constructive TomorrowThe ability to constantly digitally track and record what we do exposes us to the potential for monstrous abuse. Witness the use of “social credit” scores by the Chinese Communist Party to intimidate and control. Now they’re rolling out new CO2 tracking credit cards. What could go wrong? Marc Morano posted to Climate Depot that: The new […]
The Myth That Hurricanes Are Getting Worse [Because of Climate Change]
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, News, Science /by Foundation for Economic Education (FEE)Claims that hurricanes are becoming more frequent and far more powerful (and deadly) are rampant. But are they true? In the wake of the destruction of Hurricane Ida, President Joe Biden this week traveled to storm-ravaged areas of New Jersey and New York to deliver a “code red” climate change message to the world: extreme weather poses […]
The Myth That Our Planet Faces an Overpopulation Crisis
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Regulation /by Foundation for Economic Education (FEE)Shortly after my wife graduated from college, she joined Zero Population Growth. Looking back, she tells me it was an emotional reaction fueled by reading Paul Ehrlich’s apocalyptic claims. In his book, The Population Bomb, Ehrlich wrote: “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in […]

VIDEO: A Biblical Perspective on Climate Change
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Religion, Science /by Family Research CouncilLast week, President Joe Biden visited New York to survey the devastation from Hurricane Ida. During his press conference, the president referenced a recent U.N. report that tracks climate change. According to the report, “Global surface temperature has increased faster since 1970 than in any other 50-year period over a least the last 2,000 years.” Not surprisingly, […]

Think COVID-19 Lockdowns Were Bad? Climate Lockdowns Could Be Next
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, News, Politics, Science /by The Daily CallerIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments introduced lockdowns and other restrictions, with clear social and economic consequences. But there are growing signs the world could see more lockdowns in the future — for climate change. The initial months of the pandemic starting in March 2020 saw the vast majority of states impose stay-at-home orders and other […]

Biden Wrong On Fires and Ida
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, News, Politics, Science /by Committee For A Constructive TomorrowHurricane Ida brought powerful wind and rain to Louisiana and drenched the Northeast. Devastating fires have consumed California forests and burned people out of their homes. Politicians and pressure groups, from President Biden on down, rushed to capitalize on people’s heart-rending losses, and exploit them to push the global warming narrative. President Biden said, “The […]
Afghanistan Climate Nonsense
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment /by Committee For A Constructive TomorrowLeave it to Team Climate to exploit the crisis in Afghanistan and get everything wrong. Marc Morano featured on Climate Depot a bizarre headline from Newsweek which implied that the Taliban might not be so bad after all. This is because, apparently, the Taliban wants to curry good will with the world community by fighting climate change! Pay […]
Biden Climate Change Policy a ‘House of Cards’
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment /by Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow“It’s getting late early,” said that great 20th century philosopher, Yogi Berra. For President Joseph Biden, this nugget from the New York Yankees Hall of Fame catcher sticks like butterscotch as his policy blunders pile up and Americans increasingly feel their baleful effects. They include the bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, menacing inflation, the human tidal […]
Biden Clueless On Much More Than Afghanistan
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, News, Politics, Science /by Committee For A Constructive TomorrowThe horrible tragedy in Afghanistan revealed a Biden Administration divorced from reality. President Biden and his people not only failed to validly assess the ramifications of their actions, they froze like deer in headlights and proved unable to adapt and respond as new information became available.

The EO’s Sec. 219 sets […]
Top Global Energy Agency Calls for Phasing Out of All Gas-Powered Cars, Coal-Fired Plants
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, News, Politics /by Foundation for Economic Education (FEE)Fossil fuel use is a double-edged sword. Climate alarmists fixate on one edge and completely disregard the other. A report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) proposed a radical policy agenda last month: Immediately end the approval of all new coal-fired power plants and oil and gas fields internationally. Swiftly phase out all gasoline-powered vehicles. Ban the sale […]
Calling Europe’s Floods ‘Climate’ is Unscientific Propaganda
