Transcript: From the basement oil stove to the kitchen gas stove, some household appliances burn fossil fuels. Therefore, they release carbon pollution that heats the planets and contribute to climate change. But now these devices can be replaced by electric models. You can use an electric heat pump to heat your home, an electric water heater for showers, and a traditional electric stove or electric induction range to cook food. Some of these appliances (such as heat pumps) are much higher than those that burn fossil fuels. Moreover, as the energy grid gains greater power from renewable sources such as…
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and representative Alexander Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) have drawn criticism in campaign documents and public appearances, showing that both members are using private jets while promoting their “Fighting Oligarchs” tour. [emphasis, links added] These revelations raise new questions about the contrast between their public speech and personal travel habits. Two progressive lawmakers, often opposed the wealth and privileges of political and economic elites, have been traveling in private jets while keeping the campaigns stopped nationwide. During a special report with Fox News host Bret Baier on Wednesday, Sanders defended the use of the chartered aircraft and did…
Ask families in Germany and the UK what happens when “cheap” solar and wind energy are increasingly added to the national power portfolio, and they can tell you by looking at their utility bills: It's getting much more expensive. [emphasis, links added] Only when we use sunlight specifically to shine and wind blow our green energy should become cheaper because we get more green energy. But modern society needs strength throughout the day. When there is no sunshine and wind, green energy often requires a lot of backup, usually powered by fossil fuels. This means we are paying for not…
The Department of Energy canceled a $4.5 million contract, and the Biden administration awarded the development of a new institutional website and logo, symbolizing the transition to green energy, i.e. Washington Free Beacon Learned. [emphasis, links added] Former President Joe Biden’s Department of Energy awarded the contract to the Native American company Cherokee Nation Strategic Progranation in March 2023, which was classified as a minority-owned small business in March 2023 for the purpose of “rebranding” the agency. Free beacon. However, the project lags far behind plans; by the second half of 2024, the company only provided the logo and failed…
Transcript: Even in the war, Ukrainian students are taking action for climate change. KACHUR: “If you want to see the future of any country, we can look at their youth.

This is a free six-week course that is open to courses around the world. Students understand the causes and effects of climate change. They work in community solutions. This year, Kachur students planted trees and launched a campaign to remind…
Morovis, a small town in the heart of Puerto Rico's main island, is the Las Cabachuelas Nature Reserve, a green maze of about 1,950 acres. This place (known for its numerous caves) occupies stories from the colonial period, rock art and copper ying, plants studied by paleobotanists, unique fauna in the Caribbean, and many other stories about living in Puerto Rico before Spanish colonization, and life and subsequent industrialization before Spanish colonization. These stories can be heard in numerous trips provided by Cabachuelas Project of Cabachuelas Workers Cooperative, a community co-founded in 2018 by Morovis residents to preserve and manage…
New Energy Secretary Chris Wright was until recently CEO of Liberty Energy, the second largest fracturing company in the United States. In 2024, the company issued a declaration called “Improving Human Life” in which Wright made an exciting statement that would be reassuring – if it was true: “One of the other things we often hear about climate change is that it causes a significant increase in extreme weather events and leads to fatal consequences. This is wrong. Extensive reports from the Intergovernmental Group on Climate Change (IPCC) do not actually show an increase in frequency or intensity of hurricanes,…
On his first day of office, President Donald Trump made a good attitude in pledging to end the Biden administration’s offshore wind lightning, executing the order to stop offshore wind leases while reviewing the impact of the industry. [emphasis, links added] New York Attorney General Letitia James' long-time Trump enemy announced Monday that she led a coalition of 17 attorney generals, mainly from solid blue states, to sue the Trump administration as James said what James called “an arbitrary pause to new wind developments across the country.” Last month, the Trump administration applied for a new offshore wind lease, which…
When it comes to climate change, to quote one of Al Gore's favorite proverbs, the biggest challenge is not what we don't know, but what we determine, but what we know, but it's not. [emphasis, links added] Two new studies show that the Earth's climate is much more complex than often acknowledged, reminding us of the importance of pragmatic energy and climate policy. One of them was led by researchers at Tangji University in China and found that after years of ice cap drop, Antarctica saw a “surprising turn”: record destruction accumulation ice. Since the launch of the first Grace…
Introduction: Revealing the Climate Myth One of the most influential and deceptive climate graphics of today’s cycle does not stem from any peer-reviewed scientific publication. Instead, after a thorough investigation, I traced its roots back to the 2018 activist document titled “Don't you mention the emergency?” Release by the Climate Emergency Statement Group. [emphasis, links added] On page 7 of this document, Graphics sharply add up with modern tool temperature data, juxtaposing temperature-stable agent reconstructions with modern temperature data, mistakenly presenting today’s warming as unprecedented and shocking. source Further investigations show that this misleading graphic was inspired by a 2013…
