Thought Piece I had a nightmare last night about Global Warming (aka Climate Change), where anyone can legally commit perjury if they lied because of their higher moral calling. I woke up and remembered Climate Change has already created a large new genre for funding bias; *It funded 1,000s of politicized climate reports; It funds over [...]
Though Piece “Climate Change Warriors Latest Weapon of Choice is Litigation.” I too am worried about the proliferation of environmental lawsuits in the US, at least 5,000. Although, it is a growth market for environmental attorneys and fungible green funding. Most of all, I am against small groups who think they know more than the voting [...]
Though Piece More bad behavior in VA. It is hard to retain a modicum of respect for any environmental group (or individual protester) who games the legal system or simply ignores the law, especially if they invoke their sense of moral rectitude, civil disobedience, and intellectual superiority.

Thought Piece My major complaint against (now former) Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has always been that he used extra-legal (at best) bullying tactics, not unlike former AG and disgraced Governor Elliot Spitzer. O.K. I have several complaints with Mr. Schneiderman: He has been ruthlessly political, overly arrogant, imperially ambitious, utterly shameless, and essentially lawless. I first [...]
Thought Piece The conversation about quantified energy efficiency and emission reductions is as important now as it was a decade ago. I believe that my Wall Street Presentation is also available through this link, but if not I would be happy to send you a copy. In a fractured world where scare tactics work, I cannot [...]
Though Piece As a reminder, the Paris Agreement is a voluntary accord, with many unreliable countries, no accounting standards and no independent verification. At Bonn recently, the international technocrats have been arguing that they are the only ones to be trusted, because they are intellectually and morally superior to the private sector.
