Late last year someone sent me a link to Dr. Katharine Hayhoe’s column “I’m a Climate Scientist Who Believes in God. Hear Me Out.” It was published in the New York Times October 31, 2019.Dr. Hayhoe’s Ph.D. is in atmospheric science. But she teaches in the political science department at Texas Tech University. She criticizes evangelicals who disagree with her about the causes, magnitude, consequences, and appropriate responses to climate change, aka global warming.Hayhoe Malignly … [Read more...]
Foundational Principles of Biblical Earth Stewardship
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. All creation belongs to Him (Genesis 1:1; Psalm 24:1).Though God reveals Himself in creation, the Bible, and His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, He is distinct from and transcendent over creation (Romans 1:25). Those who deny the Creator/creature distinction become futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts are darkened (Romans 1:21).God made man, male and female, in His own image (Genesis 1:26–27). No other terrestrial life form … [Read more...]
A Potpourri of Recent Developments in the Climate Wars
Things pile up. The number of tabs open in my browser grows and grows. I mean to write separate articles on most of them. But time flies, I'm focused on urgent matters, and before you know it, things grow old. And my computer slows down!So rather than ignore these completely, here are quick comments on a variety of issues.Very big news: the federal Environmental Protection Agency announced its replacement for the power-grabbing, anti-federalist "Waters of the United States" rule promulgated by … [Read more...]
Is U.S. Bound by UN Human Rights Committee Ruling on Climate Refugees?
The United Nations' Human Rights Committee (HRC) ruled January 21 that "countries cannot deport people who have sought asylum due to climate-related threats."The ruling came in a case brought in 2015 by a Ioane Teitota, who sought asylum in New Zealand as a "climate refugee."The HRC didn't rule that New Zealand's refusal to admit Teitota as a refugee violated his "right to life," but it did rule that "people seeking asylum are not required to prove that they would face immediate harm, if … [Read more...]
Finally Polar Bears Go Extinct—As an Icon of Climate Change-driven Extinction!
You've seen the claims all over the place. "Polar bears are going extinct because manmade global warming robs them of the sea-ice habitat they depend on to hunt for food!" Or some such verbiage.Well, it's about time the crybabies on the radical Green Left abandoned that charge.As Dr. Jay Lehr points out in "Polar bears: The end of a climate delusion icon," there never was any empirical basis for the claim. It rested on computer models alone---models that assumed counterfactual circumstances to … [Read more...]
Californians Turn a Cold Shoulder on Bill Requiring Climate-Change Education
A bill introduced in the California Assembly January 13 would require students to study the causes and effects of climate change in grades 1-6. It would also make the subject a requirement for high-school graduation.When I read the news, I first thought, “What’s surprising? Climate alarmists have long since taken over California.”But it looks like ordinary Californians aren’t going to be so easily led. Comments on the news story at CBS Sacramento were overwhelmingly … [Read more...]

Go Ahead and Eat Your Beef
No doubt you've heard that raising cattle (for beef or any other purpose) contributes to global warming because the critters have the nasty habit of emitting methane by belching and---well, what they do from the other end.A new paper by our friends Will Happer and W.A. van Wyngaarden at the CO2 Coalition quantifies global methane emissions' warming effect and finds it negligible.Each methane atom has about 30 times the heat (infrared) absorption capacity of each molecule of CO2, causing many … [Read more...]
