What Do You Get When You Mix Socialism with Pursuit of Profits from Renewable Energy?

By /

The latest from the climate alarmism’s anti-capitalism department: Christiana Figueres, former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (parent of the 2015 Paris climate agreement) and now a leader in “Mission 2020,” an international cooperative effort to get global carbon dioxide emissions on a downward trend by 2020, is upset with

Has Scott Pruitt Brought Armageddon to the EPA?

By /

According to two former Administrators, current federal Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt has set the agency back by anything from several years to as much as three decades due to “regulatory rollbacks, mass attrition and budget cuts.” That sounds ominous. It isn’t. At present EPA is operating under FY2017 funding levels. While projected FY2018

Protect Endangered Species on Valentine’s Day?

By /

Valentine’s Day. A day for lovers. But according to the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD), it could be a very bad day for biodiversity. That’s because, so goes the argument, what lovers (heterosexual lovers, anyway) do—not just on Valentine’s Day but all year long—threatens to increase human population. And, as everyone knows, growing human population

A Christian Perspective on Biodiversity: Anthropocentric, Biocentric, and Theocentric Approaches to Bio-Stewardship

By /

Maintaining Biodiversity: A Generally Good End Whatever our assumptions, I think all of us here would agree that, in general, maintain­ing biodiversity is a good end. None of us would favor the willy-nilly elimination of species, subspecies, varieties, or even distinct populations of varieties of life. Yet I say that maintaining biodiversity is a good

Are “Fixer Upper” Stars Wrecking the Earth with their Children?

By /

You’d have thought congratulations were in order when HGTV’s Chip and Joanna Gaines, of Fixer Upper, announced they’re expecting their fifth child. Some congratulations did come, but so did some nasty criticism. The gist: With four, they have too many already. The world’s overpopulated, and it’s selfish of them to add more children. US Magazine

Nuclear Engineer Reveals “Climate Consensus” as Anti-Scientific

By /

Over at the American Nuclear Society’s ANS Cafe blog, ANS Fellow and Adjunct Professor of Nuclear Engineering Dr. Ruth Weiner exposes the anti-scientific character of appealing to consensus to push climate alarmism: Scientific thought progresses as a result of skepticism about a consensus rather than by invocation of that consensus. The fallacy of the 97

Global Average Temperature Plummets! Tropical Temperature Fall Third-Biggest on Record!

By /

Forgive the headline. We’re mimicking the behavior of global warming alarmists. If we used their tactics, we’d proclaim this a major victory for climate realists. In reality, both a one-month drop of 0.15 deg. C in global temperature and a one-month drop of 0.38 deg. C in tropical temperature are stastically insignificant to long-term global

Why Is 2017’s “Third Warmest on Record” a Yawner?

By /

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) press release headline January 18 was blunt: “NOAA: 2017 was 3rd warmest year on record for the globe.” The tagline that followed made the inference obligatory for all climate alarmists: “NOAA, NASA scientists confirm Earth’s long-term warming trend continues” (emphasis added). The New York Times trumpeted, “2017 Was
