  • Trade Groups Must Be Challenged for Their Harmful Climate Deception

    US Capitol by Mark Fischer/CC BY-SA 2.0As we enter the home stretch of election season, the role of industry groups in spreading climate disinformation, obstructing climate policy, and supporting climate-denying political candidates is in the spotlight. These actions by groups such as the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the US Chamber of Commerce (US Chamber) raise reputational and legal risks...

  • Will BP Finally Succeed at Moving Beyond Petroleum? To Survive, It Must.

    Shutterstock.com/Gencho PetkovEarlier this year, BP joined other oil majors in pledging to emissions reductions and even aiming to reach net-zero emissions. The announcement was met with a mix of praise and skepticism– including from UCS. But then, just last week, BP invested $1.1 billion to buy a 50 percent stake in a US offshore wind project. And this week, it...

  • In the US West Scorched by Wildfires, We Can Barely Breathe. It’s Going to Get Worse.

  • Did EPA’s Non-Enforcement Policy Cause Lake Charles Chemical Plant Fire As COVID-Climate Disasters Pile Up?

    Hurricane Laura damages home in Lake Charles, LA/FEMAIn Westlake Louisiana, near Lake Charles, a chemical manufacturing plant fire last week increased the public health threat environmental justice communities are already facing.

    Hurricane Laura. Because of that order,...

  • Bribery and Corruption at Utilities Cost Them–and Us–Big

    www.allenandallen.com/CCI spent my summer, and most of my career, working with electric utility rules around energy supplies. I push for adding clean energy and reducing climate-damaging emissions in work with regional grid operators, known as RTOs or ISOs. Politics and energy policies have never been more impactful on these seemingly technical, engineering-oriented grid organizations. The agreement by Exelon’s ComEd company...

  • Solar Panels Generate Mountains Of Toxic Waste—And Heat The Earth

    The problem of solar panel waste is now becoming evident. As environmental journalist Emily Folk admits in Renewable Energy Magazine, “when talking about renewable energy, the topic of waste does not often appear.” She attributes this to the supposed “pressures of climate change” and alleged “urgency to find alternative energy sources,” saying people may thus be hesitant to discuss “possible negative...

  • Hanoi Jane’s Logic For Green New Deal: Birds Are ‘Dive-Bombing Dead’

Fonda joined MSNBC blowhard Joy Reid on the September 17 edition of The ReidOut. Reid shifted her fawning over Fonda’s climate activism to questioning Fonda on how to use...

  • The Climate Apocalypse: ‘Permanently Immunized From Falsification’

    In last Saturday’s post, I provided a quote from the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy that encapsulated the gist of the scientific method: “[T]heories that are permanently immunized from falsification . . . can no longer be classified as scientific.” That seems simple enough. Surely we ought to be able to keep track of that one basic precept to distinguish the science...

  • Reuters Daydreams About A Nobel Prize For Greta Thunberg

    Reuters is pushing an insane idea that eco-extremist activist Greta Thunberg could get the Nobel Peace Prize. In a story headlined, “A Nobel for Thunberg? In the age of climate change and virus, it is possible,” Reuters’ Gwladys Fouche spouted off that “[t]his year’s Nobel Peace Prize could go to green campaigner Greta Thunberg and the Fridays for Future movement to...

  • New Report: Official US Climate Data Reveals No Cause For Alarm

    A new paper published today by the Global Warming Policy Foundation shows that the U.S. climate has been changing very gradually, and mostly in a benign way. The paper, by British climate writer Paul Homewood, examines official US weather sources and finds almost nothing to justify alarm. “The temperature has risen a little,” says Homewood, “but temperature extremes are still a long way...
