Rather than spending trillions that we do not have and making promises that cannot be kept, Congress and the administration should focus on implementing policies that reduce regulatory barriers to energy innovation, streamline permitting and regulatory reviews, and promote pro-growth tax policy.

President Joe Biden’s approval ratings are more underwater than the Titanic. With rising fuel costs, spreading inflation, and unprecedented illegal border crossings, Americans had alreadybegun to souron many of Biden’s top priorities even before the debacle in Afghanistan. But, like the captain of the Titanic, this presidency might just be seeing the tip of the iceberg. Biden’s energy and environmental policies may wind up plunging his popularity to the bottom of the deep.

Glasgow, Scotland U.K.

Gloom and doom pervade the United Nations 26^th Climate Summit here in Glasgow, Scotland. But CFACT is here to push back with some doses of reality.

Prince Charles Windsor, the Duke of (nearby) Edinburgh, spoke this week at the Conference, which he referred to as “the last-chance saloon.”

British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, whose nation graciously hosted this year’s event, said the world was at “one minute to midnight” before, well …something really bad, I guess. Maybe the end of civilization as we know it.

Prince Charles is the immediate heir to the British throne which has been occupied for the last 68 years by his 95-year-old mother, Queen Elizabeth II. If the prince and prime minister are correct about the planet, Charles may never be king; and certainly not Prince William, his elder son.

This is their way…

Even though the U.S. is one of eight Arctic nations, America has not adequately invested in the region and, as a result, has not yet fully embraced its status as an Arctic power.

The opposite can be said of Russia, an Arctic nation that has invested heavily in the region. Russia recently installed a fiber optic cable nicknamed the “Polar Express” in Russia’s Arctic territory. Fiber optic cables are necessary to maintain and expand connectivity, an increasingly vital part of life in the 21st century.

The cable will span 7,860 miles from the rural, northern village of Teriberka to the port city of Vladivostok in the far east and will be completed by 2026. Its intended function is to improve connections in Russia’s far north where about 2.5 million Russians live, accounting for nearly half of the population living in the Arctic.

Twitter is unleashing a new program to proactively protect the left’s climate change narrative and deflect criticism from skeptics during COP26.

If there were any doubt that Big Tech’s existence is to curry favor for the left and their totalitarian policies, Twitter just hammered the final nail into the coffin. “Twitter on Monday will roll out a new program designed to ‘pre-bunk’ climate misinformation, or get ahead of false narratives about climate by exposing people to more accurate information about the crisis on its platform,” Axios reported Nov 1.

Twitter will be actively favoring liberal ideals and shoring them up against criticism as the United Nations COP26 climate summit commences.

The so-called “pre-bunk[ing],” as opposed to de-bunking, will reportedly “include authoritative information about topics like the science backing climate change and global warming from experts, will appear in users‘ ‘explore’ tabs, ‘search’ portals, and Twitter…

Everyone loves a show, especially when there is high drama, heroes and villains and lots of hype to precede the event. By those standards, the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, to be held in Glasgow, Scotland from October 31 to November 12, will be a worthy of an Academy Award. To build the suspense, we are now hearing and reading hundreds of media reports about how allegedly crucial the conference will be for the fight against “catastrophic climate change”. Reportedly, there will be at least 25,000 participants with some degree of access to the proceedings, and organizers are aiming to have a public demonstration involving up to 100,000 people. Obviously it is all theater. But the rank and file citizens of the world are no longer taking it seriously. In our…

As thousands of well paid bureaucrats begin to convene in Glasgow, Scotland for their 26th meeting to discuss how to take money out of the richer countries and place it in the coffers of the less developed countries as penance for having an advanced society based on fuels which emit carbon dioxide, it is hard for this writer to take any of it seriously. My dear friend and colleague Robert Lyman took an accountant’s calculator to the numbers tossed around.

In July 2021, a “pre-conference” was held to discuss financial issues in anticipation of the major climate conference (“COP26) to be held in Glasgow in November. Barbara Creecy of South Africa, speaking on behalf of the developing countries, stated that the developed countries (i.e. those included on Annex II of the list of UN Climate Convention parties) must increase their annual financial…

Once Jesse Jackson faded away, we had Al Sharpton inheriting the goons.

I think I first became aware of people replacing flags as props when Jesse Jackson seemed to be on TV 24/7. Every time I saw him, he had a dozen or so thuggish-looking guys standing behind him on stage. Once Jackson faded away, we had Al Sharpton inheriting the goons.

These days, no politician would dare be seen making a statement without a crowd standing behind him. Guys like Charles Schumer and Mitch McConnell wouldn’t be caught dead standing on the steps of the Senate or in the Senate rotunda without having a bunch of their Senate colleagues huddled behind them, trying to look somber and perhaps even presidential for the TV cameras.

I believe Donald Trump may have been the first to bring members of the audience on stage with him, so that…
