That's the gist of what Swiss climate scientist Sonia Seneviratne told CBC News about why she may refuse to participate in any future assessment reports from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).It's not that the reports don't let her say what she wants to say. She's been a lead author about extreme weather in three of the six assessment reports.No, it's that policymakers around the world don't just take her word for it and do what she says must be done."There is no point for … [Read more...]
“Ecosexuality” and Marrying the Earth: It’s Not Your Grandparents’ Wedding

Northern California Fires? Blame Arson and Forest Mismanagement, Not Climate Change
The "Dixie fire" in northern California has consumed some 500,000 acres and over 400 structures, including most of the town of Greenville. More than 5,800 personnel are fighting the fire. Several other large fires are blazing in the region.Environmentalists, climate alarmists, and mainstream media predictably blamed climate change for them.But it's likely they're wrong.

A Brief History of the Cornwall Alliance—Part 2: A Withered Seedling
The Cornwall Alliance, the roots of which we saw in Part 1, almost got its start in 2000, though with different name, constituency, and mission.That was when the short-lived Interfaith Council on Environmental Stewardship got its start. It grew out of a meeting of 25 Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jewish theologians, economists, environmental scientists, and policy specialists in October 1999, at a retreat center in West Cornwall, CT.Sponsored by the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion … [Read more...]
Why “Follow the Money” Doesn’t Cut It
Dr. David Kreutzer, an economist formerly with the Heritage Foundation and now with the Institute for Energy Research, was Cornwall Alliance's livestream guest July 27 to discuss why President Joe Biden's "Net Zero by 2050" plan not only won't succeed but can't. (You can watch it on Facebook or YouTube.)When I announced this on Facebook, a friend from back in high school days---a fellow Christian and sincere person---commented, "No, thank you. I prefer to hear and read people with expertise who … [Read more...]
Comments On Federal Scientific Integrity
Guest column by Kenneth Haapala, President, The Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP)“It is one thing to impose drastic measures and harsh economic penalties when an environmental problem is clear-cut and severe.

This is definitely the case with global warming.” - Frederick Seitz, 17th president of the United States National Academy of SciencesThis paper … [Read more...]
A Brief History of the Cornwall Alliance—Part 1: Early Seeds
Like every person, and every ministry, the Cornwall Alliance and I have roots going back well before our actual founding in 2005. With our 16th birthday coming up August 31, I’d like to reminisce just a bit about one of those roots.When I was just short of a year old, my father—a journalist—accepted a position with the United States Information Service, under the State Department. With his wife and four children, he moved to Calcutta (now Kolkota), India, where his task was to help strengthen … [Read more...]
“Net Zero by 2050”: Roadmap to Conflict and Poverty
The Biden Administration wants America to make emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases amount to “net zero”—that is, for emissions and removal of GHGs to be equal—by 2050. The Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA, established in 1974 under the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development following the 1973 oil crisis to ensure that oil supplies remained secure) has released a new study purporting to show how to get there.But Dr. David Kreutzer, Senior Economist at … [Read more...]
The Consequences of Being Wrong on Climate Change
Guest column by Noel FunderburkUndoubtedly Al Gore made a lot of money from writing his book on “man-made” climate change.Many people and country leaders have jumped on that band wagon and are making great effort to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Our government is spending large amounts of money to trap carbon dioxide and pump it far underground where it can never be recovered. But what if they are wrong? What are the consequences? I am writing this scientific … [Read more...]
