Months before the games began, Paris 2024 announced its ambitious plan to “halve the carbon footprint” from the past two Olympics and host the “greenest ever Games,” as if carbon dioxide (the gas of life) were somehow not “green.” Organizers admitted the approach was a “radical departure from that of previous major sports events.”

In April of this year, I wrote an article urging conservatives to fight corporate wokeism from the bottom-up. Remember: businesses only do what you pay them to do. Now, I'm happy to announce that in June, we saw yet another great example of this strategy put into practice...

Left-wing activists want us to believe that turbulent weather is something new or more severe than it has been in the past. They want us to believe it is a direct result of human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and the rise of CO2 emissions.

Regardless of their claimed party affiliation, average Americans are more unified in their opinions than it might appear.

Man has stewardship over the earth. As we established last time, this is a momentous claim. If you're neglecting a proper degree of dominion over the earth, then you are messing up one of the first commands God ever gave our species.

Several years ago, I made a trip to a popular museum in the Seattle area and toured the various exhibits on display.

“The green movement calls for a shutdown of coal and gas power plants. At the same time, it demands a switch to electric vehicles, electric home appliances, and green hydrogen produced by power-intensive electrolyzers. This and the AI revolution portend a breakdown of the so-called energy transition.”

Last year I was at lunch with an evangelist. After the meal, he handed our waitress a Gospel tract. I wanted to reinforce his compassion, so I told the young lady that her relationship with God was the most important thing in the world. She responded, “Yeah, that and global warming!” She proceeded to tell us that she wakes up in fear of what may happen to the earth during her lifetime. I was shocked.
