Global Warning, a genuine attempt to be objective about climate
Canadian filmmaker Mathew Embry (Painkiller: Inside the Opioid Crisis) has released a remastered edition of his 2019 climate documentary Global Warning. It is more relevant than ever and is one of the few genuine attempts by the media to take a truly objective look at the climate debate.

In 2019, the documentary Global Warning challenged Canada to have a honest conversation about climate change, conventional energy, Indigenous voices, environmental activism, and the future of the country. Today, that conversation matters more than ever. Filmmaker Mathew Embry (Living Proof, Painkiller: Inside the Opioid Crisis) has released a remastered edition of the documentary that dared to ask the questions few others would.
You can see the entire documentary below in the enhanced, remastered edition:
Global Warning returns to a world that has caught up to its message. The fears have shifted. The policies are changing. The stakes have never been higher. And the human cost of how we power our lives has never been more visible. This is a film built on contradictions it refuses to resolve for you. A celebrated climate campaigner who believes Canada has never met a target it couldn’t miss. A self-made business titan watching his life’s work hollowed out. Scientists who question the catastrophe. An indigenous elder who speaks not of carbon or quotas, but of the children we leave behind — “it’s written in rock,” he says, “not on paper.”
Global Warning refuses to pick a side for you. It is, in Embry’s words, a “pro-human” film, one that holds space for the warming planet and the people whose lives are upended by the policies meant to save it. The world hasn’t ended. The conversation is just beginning.

The Strait of Hormuz Crisis Shows the World Still Runs on Fossil Fuels
The Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, highlights the continued global dependence on oil and gas. Recent geopolitical tensions have disrupted energy flows, exposing vulnerabilities in global supply chains and triggering emergency responses across Asia. Despite decades of rhetoric about an energy transition, fossil fuels remain indispensable for modern economies, not only for energy but also for agriculture, plastics and pharmaceuticals. The crisis underscores that energy systems are shaped by geography and economics, and that a full transition away from hydrocarbons will be far slower and more complex than often assumed.
The EU’s Nuclear Phase-Out Was a Blunder
Following Friedrich Merz in January, Ursula von der Leyen has now also admitted that the phase-out of nuclear energy was a major ‘strategic mistake’, not only for Germany but for the EU as well. American researcher Roger Pielke Jr. uses some simple calculations to demonstrate the magnitude of the EU’s strategic blunder.
Paul Ehrlich (1932-2026): Farewell to the Long-Lived Failed Prophet of Miserablism – The Population Bomb author lived a long, wealthy, healthy life, an opportunity his work denied to countless others
Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb, became one of the most influential voices behind modern environmental pessimism. His warnings of inevitable resource depletion and societal collapse shaped decades of policy and public thinking. Yet, as history unfolded, many of his most prominent predictions failed to materialize—raising enduring questions about the consequences of alarmist narratives in science and policy.
