Colossians 1:11–20: May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in … [Read more...]
Did You Want Electricity with Your Fried Eagle?
Let's see now. The controversial Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, financed with $1.5 billion in federal loans, using sunlight reflected from 170,000 mirrors to heat boilers atop 450-foot-high towers, received on average $200 per megawatt-hour during summer months and $135 for the rest of the year but is likely to go bust. Meanwhile, PG&E pays $57 per megawatt-hour for power generated by more conventional solar plants, and $35 per megawatt-hour for power generated by natural gas … [Read more...]
What Made February So Hot?
Anthony Watts reports, "One graph proves that record high year of 2015 and record months of 2016 are not AGW driven." The graph? This one, by Ryan Maue of WeatherBell: Then there's another, from NOAA/NESDIS: Watts writes: "For all those people that want to claim 2015/2016 “proves” that human caused global warming is at work (while at the same time ignoring a record El Niño event as seen above), this graph indisputably proves that the El Niño is the driver of record high … [Read more...]
Is Sea Level Rise Accelerating? A Look at the Evidence
The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment report claims that the rate of sea level rise from 1993 to 2010 was roughly twice that from 1901 to 2010, offering one of the strongest reasons for alarm about anthropogenic global warming. But a major review by Kenneth Richard of recent journal publications on the subject finds little to no basis for the claim. Says Richard: According to the IPCC (2013), sea levels rose at a rate of 1.7 mm/year (6.7 inches per century) for the … [Read more...]
“Feminist Glaciology”? Yes, You Read that Right
Thanks to a $413,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to University of Oregon historian Mark Carey, we all can now read a 15,000-word rant on glaciology from a feminist perspective. Tony Thomas, in The Quadrant, isn't laughing, not because it's not funny but because it's such a waste. Thomas's article reveals some of the hilarity and irrationality of "feminist glaciology," and lots of other feminist "analysis." In it we get introduced to women (or should I say womyn?) writers who … [Read more...]
We Pray for the Alleviation of Poverty
Galatians 2:10: … they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. Lord, we Christians in America are so blessed with material abundance! Thank You! But let us not take that blessing for granted, or want to keep it only for ourselves. Open our eyes to the desperate need of the many poor around the world, especially those who are our brothers and sisters in Christ. Help us to see, and to act on, opportunities to help them, whether directly through gifts, or indirectly … [Read more...]
More Saber-Rattling by the Enemies of Free Speech and Real Science
Last week U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch told Congress that her department has discussed taking civil legal action (under RICO, the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) against "climate deniers" (whatever those are---I don't know any). “This matter has been discussed. We have received information about it and have referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria for which we could take action on,” she said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing … [Read more...]
We Pray for Grace to Endure Trials
Romans 8:18–23: … the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in … [Read more...]
A Month or Two Does Not a Long-term Trend Make
It was inevitable that when the current extra-strong El Nino resulted in some anomalously hot months the climate alarmists would declare victory, and, sure enough, when Drs. John Christy and Roy Spencer of University of Alabama Huntsville announced that the satellite global temperature data showed February the hottest month in the satellite record (which goes all the way back to the practically prehistoric year of 1979!), they did. One example among many: Mary Papenfuss's article in … [Read more...]
Forget the Almost-19-Year Global Warming “Pause”? How about 58 Years?
That's the implication of new analysis of NOAA radiosonde (weather balloon) data by Tony Heller at RealClimateScience.com. Heller begins: In their “hottest year ever” press briefing, NOAA included this graph, which stated that they have a 58 year long radiosonde temperature record. But they only showed the last 37 years in the graph. NESDIS Strategic Communications Here is why they are hiding the rest of the data. The earlier data showed as much pre-1979 cooling as the post-1979 … [Read more...]
