Recently someone wrote asking, " How does geoengineering factor in with your Climate Change beliefs?"The Cornwall Alliance as a body hasn’t addressed this question, so what I say here is solely my own thinking.The answer depends heavily on what one means by geoengineering. Humankind has been engineering the earth in many ways, small and large, for thousands of years: building dams, felling forests, planting crops, digging canals and aqueducts, draining swamps, irrigating deserts, building roads … [Read more...]
Pompeo Announces U.S. Withdrawal from Paris Climate Agreement!
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced yesterday that the United States has given official notice of its withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.The Cornwall Alliance has advocated for this ever since President Donald Trump took office and considers it a great win for common sense, good science, good economics, and good politics.Full implementation of the Paris agreement through the end of the century would cost $70 to $140 trillion and would reduce global average surface temperature by no … [Read more...]
Recommended Sources on Global Warming/Climate Change
People often ask us for recommendations of things to read or view to help them grasp the arguments over global warming.For instance, “What would be the best book/article which critiques the global warming hysteria?” Or “What’s a good short, simple thing to read about climate change?” Or “What should I give to my scientist friend that will show that serious climate scientists question the idea of catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming?”Many resources come to mind. Below are some … [Read more...]
World owes thanks to American oil production in wake of attacks on Saudi Arabia
In the wake of drone attacks over the weekend on two of Saudi Arabia's top oil processing facilities, oil prices shot up worldwide, causing stock prices to fall.MarketWatch reported, "The attacks are believed to be part of a continuing conflict between Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia," but many experts think Iran is likely behind them."Our markets are on a wild ride today after the Houthi Rebel attacks," Matador Economics's Tim Snyder, a specialist in the world oil markets, said in his … [Read more...]
“Fact checkers” who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones
Suppose I told you that Santa Claus lived in Santa Barbara. Now suppose you reported in an article that I told you Santa Claus lived in Santa Barbara. Now suppose some "fact checker" slammed you for falsely saying Santa Claus lived in Santa Barbara.Would the "fact checker" be right?Obviously not. Because you accurately reported what I told you.Now, if instead you had simply said, "Santa Claus lives in Santa Barbara," you'd have been factually wrong (since, as everyone knows, he lives at the … [Read more...]
How well do climate models simulate global temperature?
Earlier today I blogged on an article at Daily Caller about Dr. William Happer's resignation from the National Security Council. I pointed out that climate models simulate much more warming than actually observed over the relevant period.Someone responded, "Complete and utter bull^*@%. The modeling is accurate."Ignore the vulgarity's telltale sign that this wasn't by someone with a particularly scientific mindset.Is he correct in saying, "The modeling is accurate"?One needn't speculate to answer … [Read more...]
Daily Caller toes climate alarmist line on Happer resignation
The resignation of Dr. Will Happer, Emeritus Professor of Physics at Princeton and one of America's finest physicists, from the National Security Council (NSC) is an important event. It is a sign of just how difficult it is to overcome the "deep state's" stranglehold on government policy, despite the fact that President Donald Trump is at the helm.Happer was tapped for the NSC with the expectation that he would head a Presidential Council on Climate Security (PCCS), one function of which would … [Read more...]
Time to Eat Uncle Jim to Protect the Climate?
How far will people go to fight climate change? You might have thought you'd seen the limits. Think again.Banning fossil fuels and prescribing "renewable energy" is so last century. Urging vegetarianism or veganism is so last decade. Pushing for population control is so last year. Embracing abortion is so yesterday.If you really want to be cutting edge, you need to think about family. As in, your uncle Jim and cousin Mary.As in, eating them after they die.That, after all, would reduce your … [Read more...]
Climate Warriors Ironically Caught in Arctic Sea Ice
Their aim was to capture film footage for use in a documentary about "climate change" (which, remember, is code for "dangerous to catastrophic manmade global warming).That was what 16 people identified as "Climate Change Warriors" were doing aboard the Arctic Tours ship MS Malmo when, on September 3, the ship got caught in Arctic sea ice that neither passengers nor crew anticipated.The incident occurred off Longyearbyen, Svalbard Archipelago, halfway between Norway (which owns the islands) and … [Read more...]
How You Can Help Bahamians Devastated by Dorian
When Hurricane Dorian ground to a halt over the Bahamas, it was immediately clear that the result would be widespread devastation. While, thank God, the death toll has remained comparatively low so far, the cost in terms of destroyed homes, businesses, and infrastructure is breathtaking.At times like this, Christians ask, "How can I help?" Few of us have the skills, the understanding, or even the opportunity to go on-site and lend direct help. Those who lack those but go on-site anyway often, … [Read more...]
