President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to limit offshore oil and gas drilling in his final days in office, a move that would appease the environmental lobby and potentially thwart President-elect Donald Trump's plans to unleash the U.S. energy industry, Bloomberg reports . [emphasis, links added] Biden's upcoming order will reportedly permanently ban new lease sales for oil and gas drilling in certain areas of the Outer Continental Shelf, according to a Bloomberg report citing anonymous sources. Some elected Democrats and many well-funded green groups have urged Biden to implement permanent environmental policies in his final days as president to…
The 119th Congress comes at a cost. The oil and gas industry has given about $24 million in campaign contributions to members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate who are expected to be sworn in on Jan. 3, 2025, according to a review of campaign contributions by Yale University Climate Connections. The industry provided an additional $2 million to President-elect Donald Trump's campaign, bringing the winning candidate's total spending to more than $26 million, 88% of which went to Republicans. The fossil fuel industry exerts enormous financial power in the U.S. political system, and these contributions are just…
Transcript: Bamboo isn't just for pandas. These tall, fast-growing plants are used to make a variety of products from flooring and furniture to fabrics and cutting boards. Some scientists say bamboo could also help reduce climate change. As bamboo grows, it rapidly absorbs large amounts of planet-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Then, if people use bamboo to make products like flooring or furniture, the carbon is locked into the product over the long term rather than returning to the atmosphere. Bamboo can grow well in a variety of different environments as well as in degraded soils or areas where…
bystander Jordan Peterson spoke to Spectator editor Michael Gove about the “idiot sweet talk of net zero emissions”.

Vijay Jayaraj Kazakhstan is a country of contrasts, offering unparalleled natural beauty in the rugged Tianshan peaks and vast steppes. Its people are both rooted in tradition and forward-thinking, embodying a combination of resilience and innovation. Kazakhstan's harsh winters bring temperatures below -40°C in some areas. These conditions make coal a lifeline that keeps homes warm and industries running. Kazakhstan’s dependence on coal is deep-rooted, and for good reason. The country has the world's largest coal reserves – estimated at 25 billion tons. Coal-fired power plants account for nearly 70% of Kazakhstan’s electricity generation, a figure that highlights their key…

from climaterealism Author: H. Sterling Burnett Forbes Several media outlets, including NBC News and NBC News, published ill-timed articles on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day claiming that climate change could cause snow to end Christmas Day. This is wrong. Although countless mainstream media have repeatedly declared that “snowfall is over” in the past, data shows that snowfall has generally remained relatively stable over the past few decades, with snow falling earlier and snow falling later. Overall snowfall trends have changed little, with white Christmases remaining as frequent or rare as they were historically during the Little Ice Age before the…
When President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20, he faces the daunting task of restoring common sense and sanity to federal energy policy. [emphasis, links added] The past four years in this area can be more accurately described as a series of ill-conceived, irrational scams rather than any coherent, productive policy. Four years of bad policy—based largely on the crude principles of crony capitalism—have done serious damage to America’s level of energy security. There is no doubt that cleaning up the mess left by President Joe Biden and his appointees will take the full four years of Trump's second…
