As governments and corporations worldwide pivot toward pragmatic energy strategies, Democratic governors in the U.S. Northeast continue to pursue green energy policies that raise costs and undermine energy reliability. The disconnect is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The post Democratic Governors Ignore Energy Realities and Cling to Costly Green Policies appeared first on Clintel.

Is Canada really warming at double the global average rate, as the Canadian government says it is? A new scientific report suggests the answer is no, arguing that Canada’s reported warming is largely the result of serious errors in official temperature data. The post Is Canada Really Warming? appeared first on Clintel.

While governments spend billions on CO₂ reduction, real environmental problems remain unresolved. The real environmental crisis is not climate change, but waste, polluted water and failing governance. The post The Real Environmental Crisis Is Not Climate Change appeared first on Clintel.

Germany is heading toward a serious gas crisis as storage levels plunge in the middle of winter, with some facilities nearly empty. While households are still protected, industry faces growing risks as the government remains largely silent. The post Germany’s Gas Crisis Escalates: Storage Sites Nearly Empty in Mid-Winter appeared first on Clintel.

Recent research shows that sea level projections are (significantly) higher than observations to date. This means that coastal infrastructure designs are generally over-dimensioned and therefore not cost-effective. The post “More realism about sea level rise needed in coastal infrastructure design” appeared first on Clintel.

In this sharp analysis, economist Tilak Doshi explains why the UK’s electricity crisis is not caused by market failure but by the structural consequences of Net Zero policy. The post Net Zero Is Driving the UK’s Electricity Crisis — Not Market Design appeared first on Clintel.

In this essay on the crisis of modern science, Apostolos Efthymiadis argues that contemporary scientific culture has drifted from its philosophical foundations toward dogma and authority. Drawing on Aristotle’s epistemology, he challenges scientism, politicization, and consensus-thinking, and calls for a restoration of intellectual rigor and scientific humility. The post From Science to Scientism: The Crisis of Modern Science appeared first on Clintel.

In a recent ICSF/Clintel lecture, Professor Steven Koonin argued that global climate and energy policy is at a tipping point. After decades of emphasis on rapid and far-reaching emission reductions, he sees clear signs of a shift toward greater realism and pragmatism, including in climate reporting. After all, economic, technological, and social realities are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The post Steven Koonin now also believes that the worst of the climate hysteria is behind us appeared first on Clintel.

In this analysis, Ralph B. Alexander challenges the science behind livestock methane emissions and argues that farmers are being targeted based on flawed assumptions and misleading metrics. The post Ongoing Attacks on Livestock Methane Emissions Based on Faulty Science appeared first on Clintel.
