Environmental narratives often mirror religious themes: Lamenting Eden, Presaging Apocalypse, Reconstructing Babel, Celebrating Jubilee. These ideas shape culture and policy far beyond science itself. cornwallalliance.org/environmentali…

The next generation isn’t the problem. They’re thoughtful, motivated, and eager to do good. But they deserve better than fear. They deserve the truth: that the world is not collapsing—and that real stewardship begins with clarity, not panic. cornwallalliance.org/from-panic-to-…

Since industrialization, fossil-fuel-powered growth has coincided with rising life expectancy, fewer disaster deaths, and record agricultural output. CO₂ also contributes to global “greening” through plant fertilization. cornwallalliance.org/epas-co2-rever…

Look globally: China builds nuclear, imports record oil and gas. India expands coal. Europe rethinks “green” after energy shocks. The world is choosing realism over rhetoric. cornwallalliance.org/blackrock-ceo-…

Since 1992, UN climate conferences have gathered tens of thousands of delegates and trillions have been spent on renewables. Yet atmospheric CO₂ trends haven’t changed — and global energy demand keeps rising. cornwallalliance.org/climate-change…

Somewhere along the way, we traded dominion for guilt. Today’s environmentalism often treats human flourishing as a problem to be solved—not a good to be pursued. cornwallalliance.org/what-the-moder…

“Organized skepticism” — testing hypotheses against real-world evidence — is the heart of science. But in climate debates, dissent is often demonized rather than examined. That’s ideology, not inquiry. cornwallalliance.org/environmentali…

We were told population growth would bring famine. Instead, food production has surged, efficiency has improved, and more people are fed than ever before. Malthus was wrong.

For 30 years, global leaders pushed Net Zero through the UN, WEF, IEA, and thousands of laws. But today it’s clear: intermittent renewables can’t meet developing nations’ growth needs — or power the AI revolution. cornwallalliance.org/climate-change…

Environmental fundraising has become a business model—built not on facts, but on fear. Emotional appeals, exaggerated claims, and crisis narratives keep the money flowing. Don’t confuse alarmism with reality. cornwallalliance.org/climate-crisis…

If the U.S. retreats from treating CO₂ as a legal hazard, developing nations should reconsider climate restrictions that limit reliable electricity, clean cooking fuels, refrigeration, and modern infrastructure. CO₂ isn’t the enemy — poverty is. cornwallalliance.org/epas-co2-rever…

Coal isn’t disappearing. Over 6,500 coal plants operate worldwide, with 1,000 more planned or under construction. Coal provided 34% of global electricity in 2024 — and consumption hit an all-time high. cornwallalliance.org/climate-change…

Wind turbines aren’t slow and gentle. Their blades spin at 180–200 mph. At those speeds, birds don’t “collide.” They’re shredded. And the industry is often granted legal quotas—a literal license to kill. cornwallalliance.org/new-york-times…

The shift from “normal science” to “post-normal science” replaces skepticism, transparency, and falsifiability with goal-oriented advocacy. When outcomes are predetermined, science becomes a tool for politics. cornwallalliance.org/environmentali…

With 8.3 billion people exhaling ~2.3 pounds of CO₂ daily, that’s about 9.5 million tons per day from respiration alone. Thankfully, plants use it. It’s called the carbon cycle — the foundation of life on Earth. cornwallalliance.org/waiting-to-exh…

Now Europe faces a dilemma: continue tightening climate targets while the U.S. disengages, or reassess a strategy that may no longer bind the world’s largest powers. The geopolitical stakes just changed. cornwallalliance.org/americas-irrev…

The New York Times laments birds colliding with Chicago skyscrapers. Yet for years it has championed wind energy—an industry that kills up to 1 million birds annually in the U.S. alone. That’s not compassion. That’s contradiction. cornwallalliance.org/new-york-times…

AI is reshaping energy demand. Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft invested $380B in AI infrastructure last year. Data centers require reliable, dispatchable power — not energy that depends on weather. cornwallalliance.org/climate-change…

The debate now heads to the courts. Climate groups have already filed challenges, while supporters argue the reversal restores constitutional limits on agency authority and protects consumer choice in energy and transportation cornwallalliance.org/climate-alarmi…

When one side’s experts help write the guide judges use to evaluate climate evidence, justice risks losing its blindfold. Critics argue the climate section should be withdrawn to protect judicial independence and public trust. cornwallalliance.org/congress-state…
