But he’s one of the most important people who’ve ever lived.Of models I hope my grandkids will follow, he’s among the top. Not that they’d do the same kind of work, but that they’d cultivate the same self-discipline, the same determination to serve others, the same humility.In the United States, he won the … [Read more...]
NOAA and Green Activists Condone Whale Sacrifice By Offshore Wind Industry
Reports are multiplying around the world: dead whales are washing up onto beaches in rapidly growing numbers.Why? Well, the New York Times ("a former newspaper"---Andrew Klavan) blames online shopping and climate change, an interesting take that spurred a humorous jab by the Manhattan Institute's Jonathan Lesser.Whales navigate by their God-given sonar systems. Other sonar signals, likely including those used by offshore wind developers to map the sea floor, mess with those systems, and whales … [Read more...]
Equality vs Equity: Q&A
I am seeking literature that describes the notion of equality and distinguishes it from equity. I am seeing so much “redefinition” of these terms lately and I wish to engage in civil discourse on these topics. I want to be able to discuss these concepts with people knowing that I have the strength of knowledge behind anything that I might say.In addition, if there are any biblical references that clarify either of these concepts, this would be an extremely valuable addition.Can you help me by … [Read more...]
Dangers of the Next Generation Science Standards
Over the past decade and more, a serious threat has arisen to the education of America’s children. For generations America’s public schools have indoctrinated our children with the dogma of Darwinism: life arose and developed by chance, no Creator involved. Now they’re indoctrinating them with another dogma: catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW)—and with it a whole catalog of other exaggerated and sometimes completely fictitious environmental concerns, all of them used as rationales … [Read more...]

The Dangers of the “One Health Joint Plan of Action”
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a page on its website titled “One Health Basics.” There it defines “One Health” as “a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach—working at the local, regional, national, and global levels—with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing”—and here’s the crux—“the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.”On that page the CDC writes about the risk of disease transfer … [Read more...]
Climate Lockdowns Coming to a City Near You?
Recently a claim has gone viral about a decision by the Oxfordshire, England county council to divide the city into sectors that can be traversed by walking in 15 minutes or less, and then restrict residents’ travel from one sector to others to no more than 100 days a year—except by special permit available by application and at a price.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashThe actual facts of the plan are, frankly, difficult to ascertain. The council has placed a formal document about it … [Read more...]
The Irony of Blaming Billionaires for CO2 Emissions
Listen to a version of this article: Did you know that a billionaire is responsible for a million times more carbon dioxide emissions than the average person?That's the conclusion of a new report from Oxfam, an 80-year-old movement with 21 independent charitable organizations around the world that supposedly focus on alleviating global poverty. But Oxfam's fixation on climate change suggests that it suffers from mission creep – mission creep that undermines its stated purpose.A … [Read more...]
Farewell to a Brilliant, Energetic Friend and Comrade
When I grow up, I want to be like Jay Lehr in many ways. But I’m realistic enough about my own physical and educational limits to know that’s not likely.Dr. Jay H. Lehr (September 11, 1936 to January 10, 2023) died Tuesday at age 86. Why would I want to be like him “when I grow up”? Consider this from his obituary:Jay was known as the “Father of Western Lacrosse.” He was assistant lacrosse coach at The Ohio State University in the ‘60s. He loved playing club lacrosse, hockey, and men’s hardball. … [Read more...]
Nature Votes Against Climate Alarmism
Everybody knows “climate change” leads to increased extreme weather events, right? After all, the Environmental Defense Fund, Earth Justice, Carbon Brief, the Royal Society, and the National Academies of Science all say so. But there’s a problem. Nature disagrees.Remember this famous graph by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer?That was just about what was happening with global temperature. As you can see, up through 2013, over 95% of climate models predicted more warming than … [Read more...]
