Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash The claim is rampant: manmade climate change is an existential threat to human and planetary survival. To prevent it, we must reach "net-zero carbon emissions," ASAP. That means no more energy from fossil fuels; no more internal-combustion vehicles; no more nitrous fertilizers; eating less meat, or none; getting all our energy from wind, solar, and geothermal, and all our food from "organic" farming; and, consequently, shrinking and impoverishing human … [Read more...]
BC Heat Wave Caused by Natural Climate Variability, Not Global Warming: Extreme Weather Expert
Guest author Isaac Teo As the intense heat wave in the western provinces eases its grip, a former Environment Canada research scientist says that this weather event, while unusual, was caused by natural climate variability and is comparable to heat waves that occurred in the 1920s and 30s. “This heat wave was exceptional, but it does not indicate any serious climate change issue,” Madhav Khandekar, an extreme weather expert, told The Epoch Times. “I think it is part of natural … [Read more...]
Video: Remember the Past, or Be Condemned to Repeat it
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” wrote the philosopher George Santayana in 1905 in The Life of Reason, part of a series on Great Ideas of Western Man.

If it succeeds, we shall indeed be condemned to repeat it—complete with its nearly universal evils of slavery, oppressive … [Read more...]
Troubled by “Social Justice” and the “Woke” Movement? Here’s Help!
“Social justice.” Who in America today isn’t aware of how controversial that term is? It’s at the center of a movement that is turning this country upside down. Call it the “Woke” movement, or “Woke Progressivism,” or “Cultural Marxism” with its “Critical Race Theory,” “Critical Gender Theory,” or just plain old “Critical Theory”—by whatever name, it’s tearing apart families, churches, and the nation as people line up on opposite sides of a very basic question: What does it mean to do … [Read more...]

Father, We Praise You For This World You Have Given To Us!
This prayer was submitted by a friend of the Cornwall Alliance. Heavenly Father, we praise you first of all for your work of redemption — for delivering us from the punishment that we deserve for our self-centeredness and for our failure to consistently translate your concern for the poor into action. We thank you Father for giving us forgiveness as a free gift, for we could never earn it. And as we look at your creation, we thank you that you have also given us the use … [Read more...]
Prayers Based on The Biblical Perspective of Environmental Stewardship
In 2013 the Cornwall Alliance, at the request of the International Church Council Project, developed a summary, in 30 pairs of affirmations and denials, of how Biblical worldview, theology, and ethics provide a foundation for environmental stewardship. The result was The Biblical Perspective of Environmental Stewardship: Subduing and Ruling the Earth to the Glory of God and the Benefit of Our Neighbors. What follows are seventeen prayers based on that statement. We hope you’ll find them useful … [Read more...]
