[Excerpted from the Washington Times] A red team, blue team match would test the assumptions of man-made global warming. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Scott Pruitt wants to adopt a red team, blue team approach to weighing the scientific pros and cons about man-made global warming. According to E&E News reporter Emily Holden, “Climate scientists express concern that the ‘red team, blue team’ concept could politicize scientific research” related to global … [Read more...]
How Can You Help the Victims of Hurricane Harvey?
Millions of people in east Texas are suffering devastating losses as Hurricane Harvey continues to pour massive amounts of rain into the area. How can you help them? First and most importantly, pray. Pray first for their spiritual needs---that Christians won't doubt God's goodness in this but will see how He uses afflictions to draw people nearer to Himself (Psalm 119:67). Pray that non-Christians will consider their mortality and their need to be ready to stand before God's judgment, and … [Read more...]
The Beautiful Bible Chapter where Gospel and Creation Care Come Together
Isaiah 55 has for over forty years been one of my favorite passages of the Bible. Its literary beauty is one reason. The promise at its conclusion that through the Messiah's redeeming work the effects of the curse will be reversed and ultimately removed is another: For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; … [Read more...]
A Call to Prayer for those Threatened by Hurricane Harvey
Please join with the Cornwall Alliance in praying for those in the path of Hurricane Harvey. The storm is likely to be life threatening and cause severe damage to property throughout eastern Texas and into Louisiana. The greater Houston area, with some 6.5 million people, is among the areas threatened. Its very low elevation makes severe flooding highly likely. Although the greatest threat will be along the coast, where winds will be highest before the storm begins to weaken over land, the … [Read more...]
Dakota Access Pipeline Builder Sues Greenpeace and Others for Defamation
A couple of years ago, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) proposed that skeptics of dangerous manmade global warming should be persecuted---or, rather, prosecuted---civilly or criminally under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The idea fizzled because doing so would be a clear violation of the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech. But when people go beyond the peaceful protest pictured above and instead resort to defamatory lies and property destruction, charges of … [Read more...]
Blame Global Warming for Hurricane Harvey?
In the hallowed tradition of Rahm Emanuel's "You never let a serious crisis go to waste," ThinkProgress followed Emanuel's advice when it wrote, "As of 10 a.m. ET on Thursday, Trump had posted seven tweets from his personal @realDonaldTrump account. ... Not a single tweet mentioned the potentially devastating storm or warned Gulf residents to prepare for the incoming wind, rain, and possible flooding." A frequent visitor to Cornwall Alliance's Facebook page who excoriates us at every … [Read more...]
When Will I Get My Beachfront Home?
In his 2006 "documentary" An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore said global sea level could rise by 20 feet (~6.1 meters) "in the near future." How near, he didn't define, but generally he's been taken as meaning by the end of this century. That would require a rise rate of 64 mm/year. In 2015, The Guardian, that the bloviating bastion of British Leftism, citing a study in Science, warned that even if we managed, as intended by the then-pending Paris climate agreement, to limit global warming to 2C … [Read more...]
On global warming, the American public gets it!
This is simply amazing. After all the hype by media, politicians, entertainers, alarmist climate scientists, and even a Nobel Peace Prize-winning former Vice President, only 28% of Americans think climate scientists understand the causes of climate change "very well." That's one finding of a Pew Research Study on which Scott Rasmussen reports in his #Number of the Day for August 21, 2017, which begins: Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Americans think that climate scientists understand the … [Read more...]
Repairing, updating, and expanding infrastructure: The Trump infrastructure permitting order is a good start, but there’s room for strengthening
One of the biggest barriers to investment in infrastructure all across the United States is the long, costly, and unpredictable permitting process. If you have any doubts, just consider the Keystone XL pipeline extension. Proposed by TransCanada in 2008, approved by the Canadian government and the State of South Dakota in 2010, it floundered around in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Interior Department, and State Department for another five years before President Barack Obama … [Read more...]
Got Some Expertise on Climate Change? Here’s Your Chance to Bring some Balance
The U.S. Global Change Research Program is calling for nominations of review editors for the fourth edition of the National Climate Assessment. Qualified scientists, economists, and other experts who aren't committed to global warming alarmism (a view pushed by past editions, as illustrated by the screen shot of the USGCRP's NCA web page above---because everybody knows that anthropogenic climate change will bring more and stronger hurricanes???) should consider taking the opportunity to have … [Read more...]
