A Mad Rush for Coal As India and China Suspend Climate Correctness
/in Environment, National Security, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Vijay Raj Jayaraj Editors’ Note: Conservatives are generally split into two camps regarding global warming. Some feel that man’s activities have little or nothing to do with natural changes. Others feel we are contributing but feel money is better spent addressing specific problems with targeted solutions (sea walls, more air conditioning, nuclear power, water desalinization, […]
The ‘Build Back Better Baskets’ — All Tricks but No Treats?
/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Regulation, Science /by DrRichSwier.comBy Dr. Rich Swier Here’s a video of Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) explaining Biden’s Build Back Better (BBB) agenda. Pelosi also characterizes BBB as “transformative” which sounds eerily like Obama’s promise to “fundamentally transform” America.

/in DrRichSwier.com, Energy, Environment, Politics, Taxes /by DrRichSwier.comBy The Daily Caller Democrats have inserted numerous provisions and subsidy programs into their $3.5 trillion budget that would benefit green energy companies and speed the transition to renewables. “The whole thing is ridiculous,” Myron Ebell, the director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told the Daily Caller News […]

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 […]

/in Environment, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy H. Sterling Burnett A Google news search today of the term “climate change” turns up dozens of stories carried by the mainstream media claiming a study from the World Bank shows climate change could force more than 200 million people to migrate within the borders of their own countries from farms to cities.

Controversial BLM Pick Tracy Stone-Manning Confirmed To Lead Agency
/in Economy, Environment, Liberty, Politics, ThePricklyPear.org /by ThePricklyPear.orgBy Neland Nobel That elections have consequences is certainly more than a slogan. It could not be more true when it comes to this pick for this agency.

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 […]

Wind And Solar Folly In Detail
/in Economy, Environment, Politics /by Jay LehrThe Lower 48 states of the US cover four time zones. The sun sets in California about 3 hours after the sun sets in New York.

Eliminating Crude Oil Is Like Jumping Out Of A Plane Without A Chute
/in Economy, Environment, Liberty, Politics /by Ronald SteinThe world and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are proposing banishment of fossil fuels and are focused on reducing emissions from fossil fuels at any costs, but a safety net of having a viable replacement should be in place before we jump off that cliff. Banning oil imports, fracking, and ceasing oil production […]
Harry and Meghan – “influential” eco frauds
/in Culture Wars, Environment, Liberty, Politics /by Peter MurphyPrince-in-name-only Harry Windsor and his wife Meghan Markle really, really care about the planet and climate change.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (who reside eight time zones away from their monarchical fiefdom) now grace the cover of the latest issue of Time magazine for being among the “100 Most Influential People.” This, after last July when […]
Forest Service Sees Bipartisan Anger in Arizona Over Killed Wildfire Prevention Contract

How the Left Is Spreading Global Warming Alarmism on the Right
/in Economy, Environment, Liberty, Politics /by Hayden LudwigIf there’s one thing the Left knows cold, it’s deception. From Vladimir Lenin to Saul Alinsky, leftists are unparalleled masters of the art of victory through hoodwinking: Defeating opponents by fooling them into false agreement. Owning the battlefield in this war starts with controlling the language. We’ve seen this play out in the debate over […]

Democrats Aim To Choke Off Arctic Drilling With Provision Tucked Into Reconciliation Package
/in Economy, Environment, Politics /by Tristan JusticeTucked into the massive legislation are restored protections to bar drilling within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s 1002 Area.

That wish list includes a litany of items on the left-wing green agenda, with protections […]
Democrats’ “Climate Change” Is Fake But Their Taxes Are Real
/in Economy, Environment, Liberty, Politics /by Seton MotleyClimate alarmism provides an excuse for increased taxation of fossil fuel companies, which inevitably shift this cost burden to the consumer. Sports coaches preach having “no memory.” Meaning you have to forget your mistakes. A football quarterback has to forget his last pass was an interception. Because he needs to think about his next pass. […]

Burning Batteries Pose A Huge Risk To EV Mandates
/in Economy, Environment, Liberty, Politics /by Duggan FlanakinEditors’ Note: Progressives and the Green Industrial Complex are hell-bent on using your money (state subsidies) to force the public into “green energy” and particularly, electric cars. Instead of what occurred earlier at the turn of the 20th century when gasoline, kerosene, steam, and electric cars competed openly and fairly with each other, our elites […]
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.

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.

The Future of American Cars Is Not All-Electric
/in Economy, Environment, Liberty, Politics /by Hayden LudwigEnvironmental elites like to cast their creeds as unshakeable and their doctrines as inevitable. Take these three: The Earth is only getting hotter, human survival depends upon radical lifestyle changes, and governments are taking action on the climate whether we like it or not. Or this: America will slowly phase out all oil, natural gas, […]

World’s Dirtiest Cities List Raises Issue: Why Don’t Politicians Call Out China?
/in Economy, Environment, Liberty, Politics /by David HoltEditors’ Note: We remain skeptical that so-called greenhouse gases are causing the earth’s temperature to rise. Even if so, there are cheaper, less intrusive ways of dealing with the issues emanating from minor changes in temperature than the arrogant schemes of central planners, who can’t even govern our major cities, but yet insist they are […]
Woke Companies Must Wakeup On ESG
