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.

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.

In this in-depth interview, economist and statistician Ross McKitrick discusses climate models, uncertainty, and whether the public climate debate is as scientifically balanced as often claimed. He also reflects on his role as a co-author of the recent U.S. Department of Energy report.

How Primary Energy Statistics Are Reshaping the Energy Transition Narrative

In this article, energy expert Samuel Furfari explains how recent changes in primary energy statistics are fundamentally reshaping the way the energy transition is presented and understood. These methodological shifts reveal that the contribution of renewables has long been overstated in widely cited global data.
