Living proof marijuana doesn't kill brain cells…
Once upon a time, the language of climate science – emissions, greenhouse gasses, melting ice caps, carbon taxes, cap and trade, and more – was all politically neutral, if occasionally sensational, but suddenly it’s downright socialist, dominated by the progressive cliches of the day from climate equity to climate justice. I’ll admit it up front: … Continue reading We are running out of time to save the planet, but climate scientists have somehow found the time to go woke
The data couldn’t be more stark. Over the past ten years, teenagers are more depressed, more prone to thoughts of suicide, and more likely to attempt ending their own life. Some think smart phones and social media are to blame, but I believe the problem goes much deeper and starts much earlier with the culture… Continue reading What’s wrong with the kids today, revisited?
Scientists now champion censorship and cancel culture, scientific publications are reduced to political polemics with no scientific value while claiming their unique expertise is relevant anywhere they see fit. Science died in 2020. Now, they want to bury it so deep it might never be found again. Future historians will likely look back on the… Continue reading Progressives have officially killed science for their own political purposes
Elizabeth II was a bridge between the past and the future. She wasn’t Churchill’s Queen, or Margaret Thatcher’s Queen, or Tony Blair’s Queen, though she presided over them all. She was a Queen for all her people and all Great Britain, working hand in hand with political legends without being a political activist. Her heir,… Continue reading Queen Elizabeth II was irreplaceable and the monarchy might not make it long without her
A columnist for Bloomberg urges President Biden to ensure gas prices never fall below $5 per gallon again while a writer for CNN claims we should ditch our air conditioners in favor of “passive cooling.” The progressive movement has never been more regressive, calling for you to suffer with less mobility, comfort, choice, and freedom. … Continue reading High energy prices and no air conditioning, welcome to the progressive future
Some shows are better in reruns, so it was last week when Senator Joe Manchin stood alone against his own party once again, stopping the insanity of increasing taxes and regulations in a period of rampant inflation and slowing economic growth. Both are the precise opposite of what economics demands, but Democrats are increasingly unmoored… Continue reading Joe Manchin: Slayer of planets and Democrat dreams all over again
For years, progressives have advocated increasing the cost of gasoline and other fossil fuels via a “carbon pricing” scheme, but now that prices have spiked, President Biden is blaming Russia, begging communist dictatorships to produce more dirty fuels, and lying about the insanity of his own energy policy. Earlier this week, President Biden blamed the… Continue reading The backwards insanity of our energy policy
The scientific establishment positions itself as an objective authority that demands our trust, but their actions over the course of the past two decades certainly don’t suggest they are worthy of it. From an old scandal in climate science to a new one concerning the pandemic, they hide the data that doesn’t support their conclusions… Continue reading From “hide the decline” to hide the coronavirus data
A new study finds a large majority of people aged 16-25 suffer from “climate anxiety” and close to half report their feelings about the environment negatively affect their daily lives, but rather than recognize these fears as irrational, the experts use them to advance their progressive agenda. It’s all green, all the time, except when… Continue reading Climate change: Young people can’t cope with the weather and experts are happy to exploit those fears for their own ends
Barely six months ago, we were told the economy was poised for explosive growth not seen in decades. Now, they’re bracing us to cancel Christmas as the world experiences a shortage of everything from microchips to toys. How could the experts be so completely and catastrophically wrong once again? Earlier this week, the respected economics… Continue reading Welcome to the shortage of everything crisis, where you pay the price, but don’t blame the politicians, the experts, or the activists
