No, Washington Post, ‘Carbon Pollution’ Isn’t Making Food Less Healthy

By |2026-05-09T16:38:12+02:00May 10, 2026|

Carbon dioxide is not a toxin to crops, as The Washington Post recently claimed. Demonizing it as the “invisible force” behind nutritional decline ignores the broader picture, says Anthony Watts. “The Washington Post has taken a modest statistical decline in select minerals and inflated it into a planetary health crisis.”

Why solar is much more expensive than coal in Germany

By |2026-05-07T15:55:48+02:00May 8, 2026|

The more solar and wind energy is deployed, the more it reshapes the system around it and the more costs shift into areas that are often not immediately visible but should be considered, says energy expert Lars Schernikau.

The IPCC’s doomsday scenario is dead, but not yet buried

By |2026-05-08T17:43:20+02:00May 6, 2026|

Finally, the IPCC’s doomsday scenario is being tossed in the trash. The Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant deemed the news important enough for the front page. Marcel Crok wrote as early as 2018 that the IPCC’s extreme scenario was untenable. However, the wheels of science turn slowly, and so it took more than eight years for this insight to be recognized by the scientific community.

Samuel Furfari on COP’s and climate policy: “Just blah blah”

By |2026-05-06T15:39:41+02:00May 5, 2026|

In a recent podcast with Tom Nelson, energy expert Prof. Samuel Furfari speaks about the nonsense of COP’s and of climate policy in general. But he is also cautiously optimistic about the future: “If the next UN leader comes from Africa or Asia rather than Europe, they may adopt a more pragmatic and ‘sober vision’ of climate policy.”

“Timbit” Carbon Taxes and Net Zero Goals Limit Canadian Economy

By |2026-05-02T02:28:58+02:00May 3, 2026|

The Canadian Climate Institute claims that the industrial carbon price amounts to only a “Timbit" per barrel of costs (value ~CAD 0.50) and that there is almost "zero" economic impact on households; these claims are disputed by Friends of Science Society in a new video explainer, "Timbit Carbon Tax".

Decline in total energy production key factor in German CO2 reduction, not renewables

By |2026-04-30T21:52:08+02:00May 2, 2026|

The reduction of CO2 emissions in Germany by approximately 46% in the years 2007–2023 was not the result of a simple substitution of coal with renewable sources. It was primarily conditioned by a drastic drop in the total amount of energy produced.
