The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Judging from recent reports on the reliability of the PJM electric power grid, as well as the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, not to mention California's dance with converting to more and more intermittent wind and solar power, it sure looks like it. What will happen to Ottawa, Canada, one of the coldest capital cities in the...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Not surprisingly, the past century's increase in this essential ingredient for plant photosynthesis is greening the planet, leading to greater crop yield, shrinking deserts, and increasing the density of forests. Rather than wasting trillions of dollars attempting to attain net-zero, we should focus on issues we know to be real, such as air, land, and...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Kotz et al claimed that climate change could reduce global GDP by up to 62% by 2100, with annual damages reaching an unbelievable $38 trillion by 2049.

Even more fundamentally, what if, based on the well-known characteristics of...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – This structural dependence means that any disruption—whether from conflict, sabotage, or shipping hazards—would immediately constrain global supply, exactly as we have seen in the past two weeks. Natural gas flows reinforce this vulnerability. Qatar, one of the world's largest LNG exporters, ships nearly all of its liquefied natural gas...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Wind and solar power gave insignificant contributions, despite having received hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars over the past 20 years. Yet environmental activists want us to believe that we can transition away from fossil fuels, not to nuclear, about which they are unjustifiably terrified, but to the least reliable and most expensive energy...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – “And who paid the biggest price?” asked Lee Zeldin. “Hard working families, small businesses, millions of Americans who just want a reliable, affordable car to get to work, take their kids to school, or go to church on Sunday. The endangerment finding and the regulations that were based on it didn't just regulate emissions; it regulated...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – This is only the opening shot. By knocking out the automobile portion first, the administration launched a strategic, step-by-step rollback of a regulatory machine that ballooned far beyond anything Congress ever intended. This is a long-awaited turning point—proof that the tide is finally shifting toward freedom, innovation, and economic sanity...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – What caused this extreme weather? Why did our power sources fail at the worst possible moment, and what does this tell us about the future as we transition from dispatchable power, such as coal, oil, and natural gas that grid operators can turn on, turn off, or ramp up and down whenever they need it, to nondispatchable sources...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Even reporters with science backgrounds would find this intimidating.

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – The UNFCCC was fundamentally flawed right from the start. It assumed there was a climate problem, even though IPCC, launched two years earlier, had not yet established that there actually was one. And it gave China and other developing countries, now the greatest source of emissions, an opt-out clause so that...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Dr. Hickey shows that, if you apply ECCC's trend analysis method to their data, you find an increase of 1.74° C from 1948 to 2018. And then, he tells us, if you correct for the one-degree step increase in 1998, you find only a 0.29°C rise. That small change “is indistinguishable from zero,” explains Hickey. “There is no evidence of warming.”

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Imagine scrubbing the scientific method from the kindergarten to grade 12 (K-12) education system across the United States, or teaching students that they shouldn't question consensus narratives, even in science, and simply following politically correct approaches like obedient lemmings. Sounds crazy, right?

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Even when solar power plants are built in Canada, the U.S., or Europe, the panels themselves are usually made in China.

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – None of this made any sense for a military that could be called upon at a moment's notice to fight our enemies.
