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...]
Help Us Speak the Truth in Love We Pray
Philippians 2:1–4: So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Heavenly Father, throughout the ages Your people, the … [Read more...]
Two Climate Scientists Offer Cases for and against Climate Alarmism
It's fairly unusual to find a balanced presentation of both sides in the global warming debate in any publication, so I'm glad to be able to recommend one. Our good friend Will Happer, whom we interviewed for our documentary video Where the Grass Is Greener: Biblical Stewardship vs. Climate Alarmism, was interviewed by TheBestSchools.org, and the full interview is here. Presenting the opposite perspective was Dr. David Karoly, whose interview is here. At some future time they're supposed to … [Read more...]
We Pray for Freedom of Speech and Debate
Proverbs 18:17: The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. John 8:32: … you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Heavenly Father, some American officials are calling for civil and possible criminal investigations of those who, like us at the Cornwall Alliance, contest the idea that the use of fossil fuels is causing potentially catastrophic global warming. We pray in the midst of this situation that truth will prevail. … [Read more...]
What Good Are Fossil Fuels Other than for Energy?
In the midst of a worldwide “holy crusade” to demonize fossil fuels, blaming them for alleged (but not real) catastrophic global warming, it is increasingly essential that more and more ordinary citizens like you and me understand what’s at stake. The war on fossil fuels threatens not just minor adjustments at the margins of our luxury but enormous reductions in human welfare in developed countries—and the permanent captivity of one-third of humanity in desperate poverty. That’s why we’re … [Read more...]
The Theologization of Global Warming Among American Evangelicals: Who Says Religion and Science Can’t Mix?
[Note: This essay was written in the summer of 2010 at the request of Dr. Patrick Michaels, intended for a book he was editing. His publisher declined to include it in the book because of its religious content. It was never published elsewhere until now. We hope it remains a helpful survey of the history of the debate over global warming among evangelicals up to that time.—ECB, March 11, 2016] Introduction In the last half decade there has been a blossoming of public concern about global … [Read more...]
Ocean Acidification—Well, Maybe Not So Much
As global temperature remains well below alarmists' predictions, environmentalists continue to promote devastation from "ocean acidification" as their next rationale for clamping down on CO2 emissions. But as a new article in the ICES Journal of Marine Science makes clear, the actual scientific evidence for such devastation is slim, and the primary reason why so much gets published about it seems to be not scientific but political/sociological. As Ben Webster summarized in The Times (London): … [Read more...]
How Can You Help Us Pray for the Environment and the Poor March 1–25?
As you may remember, last year the Cornwall Alliance hosted its first Day of Prayer for the Environment and the Poor. Many friends wrote prayers, and those were great guides for others to pray on that day! Many also committed to pray at specific times on March 25. We’re hosting our second annual Day of Prayer, again on March 25—the birthday of Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug (about whom more below). We’d love for you to participate by writing prayers and reflections on issues related … [Read more...]
