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...]
2019 Year in Review
2019 has been an exciting year in our ministry, with much change, and many new opportunities. We have revamped our organization with complete legal independence as our goal.

Gregory Wrightstone debates about climate change at Cornell University

The event was lively and respectful, with encouraging outcomes. Here is Greg's report:On November 13, I had a unique opportunity to debate Dr. Charles Greene, Professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and a Fellow at the David R. Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future at Cornell … [Read more...]
Climate change: a first-world problem?
Ever heard of “first world problems”? Like home Internet quitting for 15 minutes? Bad mobile signal? Online deliveries arriving late? Can’t fast-forward live TV? A closet full of clothes but “nothing to wear”? Sitting near an infant on a flight to Bali? Chipped nail polish?My quick survey suggests that, at least for Christians in developing countries, climate change/global warming is a “first world problem.”Sure, the politicians and bureaucrats in other countries care about climate … [Read more...]
Rising sea level, higher storm surges, milder winters, oh my!
Today's email brought this from someone recently returned from a cruise along the coasts of New England and Canada:I think I heard at least two, maybe three, of the Canadian tour guides make comments regarding global warming. They are fully convinced that it is happening and that it is having a drastic effect on sea levels. They commented about eighteenth-century ship-tying rings that are now three feet underwater. They mentioned storm surges that are higher lately than they … [Read more...]
Katharine Hayhoe strikes again
Earlier this week someone sent me a link to Katharine Hayhoe's column "I'm a Climate Scientist Who Believes in God. Hear Me Out," published in the New York Times October 31. In it Hayhoe, whose Ph.D. is in atmospheric science but who teaches in the political science department at Texas Tech University, criticizes the thinking of fellow evangelicals who disagree with her about the causes, magnitude, consequences, and appropriate responses to climate change/global warming.Referring to "attacks" … [Read more...]
