This article was originally published in the American Spectator where it remained in the top 5 articles read multiple days in a row.A few years back my wife heard a young woman share that she had felt guilty for being able to go out to dinner with friends in Chicago because she knew her mother, in South Africa, was struggling to scrape together her own supper.When she had told her mother this during a phone call, her mother had rebuked her. “How dare you spit in God’s face!”Instead, … [Read more...]
Climate Alarmists in Denial about “97% Consensus”
Dana Nuccitelli, than whom it would be difficult to find a more strident or persistent advocate of global warming alarmism, is upset (as usual).Why?He is shocked---shocked!---to find that "Millions of times later, 97 percent climate consensus still faces denial." Some people, despite having been castigated for it for over a decade, continue to "deny" that there is a "97% consensus" about manmade global warming.The spur for his latest tantrum, published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, … [Read more...]
Fighting Malaria with DDT and Infertile Mosquitoes: You Can Help!
Dear Friends:What time is it? Take a look and see for sure. I’ll tell you later why.About a decade ago one of my sons, just turned nineteen, spent eight months assisting Christian missionaries in Ethiopia and Uganda. He saw how some of the world’s poorest people suffer—yet also how they can experience joy through knowing Christ. He actually saw a witch doctor converted. He saw people healed of terrible diseases by medical missionaries, children learning to read and write in mission schools, … [Read more...]
Why Predictions of 187 Million Refugees from Sea-Level Rise Are Nonsense
Imagine that you live in a $450,000 home situated along a stream out in the country. With very heavy rains, the stream rises about three feet, but your home is two feet above that level.One day, though, upstream, a landslide changes the flow of another stream. It previously fed into your stream below your home. Now it feeds into it upstream. So now your stream's normal level is three feet higher than before, which means that with a three-foot rise from a heavy rain you'll have a foot of water in … [Read more...]
Why Climate Change Chicken Littles Demand Action NOW!
Britain’s Prince Charles said it: “the next 18 months will decide our ability to keep climate change to survivable levels.”There you go. 18 months.And you thought AOC was shrill!Why 18 months?Supposedly because, as Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, founder and director emeritus of the Potsdam Climate Institute, and one Pope Francis’s chief advisors on his 2015 environmental encyclical, put it, “The climate math is brutally clear: While the world can’t be healed within the next few years, it may be … [Read more...]
Greenland’s Heatwave: What It Doesn’t Mean for All of Us
CNN ushered in August yesterday with a boilerplate scare story about a heat wave spurring rapid melting from Greenland’s ice sheet. Like many such articles, Sheena McKenzie’s “Greenland is in the grips of a heatwave. Here’s what it means for all of us” scares by presenting big numbers without putting them into relevant proportion:“In July alone, Greenland's ice sheet lost 160 billion tons of ice, according to Clare Nullis, spokeswoman for the UN World Meteorological Organization. That’s roughly … [Read more...]
“Test all things.” Even the Cornwall Alliance? Yes!
"Bombshell Claim: Scientists Find 'Man-made Climate Change Doesn't Exist in Practice'." That was the headline on an article at ZeroHedge.com sent to me a few days ago by a friend.Naturally I was intrigued. I read the article, then clicked through to the paper on which it reported: "No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change," by Finnish authors J. Kauippinen and P. Malmi, both of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Turku.Its abstract … [Read more...]
AOC’s Green New Deal Was Never About the Climate
"The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all."Obviously that must have been said by a critic the the Green New Deal, right?Wrong. The speaker went on to say: "Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”The speaker was Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's (D-NY) chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti. He made it official a couple of months ago when he met with Sam … [Read more...]
“America’s Environmental Leadership”—An Oxymoron?
“America’s Environmental Leadership.” If you believe most media, most of the political class, much of academia, and certainly Hollywood stars (who of course are our intellectual betters), that phrase sounds oxymoronic.That’s how many people thought of it when President Donald Trump delivered remarks on “America’s Environmental Leadership” at a meeting in the White House Monday, July 8, which I attended.So, did the President, with several cabinet-level personnel, provide any reason to think … [Read more...]
The ‘Carbon Emissions’ Deception: No, Carbon Dioxide Is Not a Pollutant
Falsehoods always go down more smoothly when mixed with truths. And they’re probably the most credible when told by people who don’t know they’re false—the sincerity factor, you know.Well, the lead paragraph of a recent New York Times article is a model of just that:“The Trump administration on [June 19] replaced former President Barack Obama’s effort to reduce planet-warming pollution from coal plants with a new rule that would keep plants open longer and undercut progress on reducing … [Read more...]
