Update on Trip to Rome Italy from Dr. E. Calvin Beisner

Today I’ll be among 8 scholars speaking for a press conference in Rome to bring balance to a global warming alarmist biased conference at the Vatican tomorrow. We have outstanding climate scientists who can explain what’s wrong with IPPC “science.” My basic message? Policies to fight AGW will condemn the world’s poor to more generations […]

Did Manmade Climate Change Cause Syria’s Civil War and the Rise of ISIS?

This article was originally published in The Christian Post. A new paper, Climate change in the Fertile Crescent and implications of the recent Syrian drought, PNAS, March 2, 2015, summarized its findings by saying, “the 2007-2010 drought contributed to the conflict in Syria. It was the worst drought in the instrumental record, causing widespread crop

Why Biblical Worldview and Sound Science Generate Skepticism about Manmade Global Warming

In 1 Thessalonians 5:21, the Apostle Paul tells us to “test all things, hold fast what is good.” That, among other things (such as belief that a rational God designed the ordered world to be understood and ruled by rational human beings made in His image), is the Biblical basis for modern science, which arose

The Great Pause Lengthens to 18 Years 4 Months

There’s been essentially zero trend, calculated by the least squares regression method (the most relevant), in global average temperature as measured by the satellites, in 18 years 4 months. None of the computer climate models came even remotely close to simulating this. Consequently they’re wrong. Since they’re wrong, they leave no rational basis to fear

Environmentalists Claim “Just Solution” to Climate Change is Wealth Redistribution

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that redistribution of wealth isn’t a major part of the agenda for the global warming alarmist crowd. Here’s a graphic prepared by ALBA, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America, which Wikipedia describes as “an intergovernmental organization based on the idea of the social, political and economic integration

Progressivism vs. Science

My new friend Michael Adeney, whom I met while speaking at Seattle Pacific University in late February, just recommended Science Left Behind: Feel-Good Fallacies and the Rise of the Anti-Scientific Left, by Alex Berezow and Hank Campbell (New York: Public Affairs, 2012), a fascinating, sometimes funny, hard-hitting but fair book on the really serious problem of

Ongoing “April Fools” Trick Perpetrated By NOAA

“April Fools Day” seems precisely the right day to post news unveiling an ongoing “April Fools” trick—intentional or not—by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a trick in which climate alarmists have—again, intentionally or not—participated. AGW alarmists, perhaps frustrated by the failure of Earth’s atmosphere to warm as predicted (or projected, or simulated, or whatever

We Pray for the Thousands of Americans Who Suffer from Fuel Poverty

Heavenly Father, I pray for the thousands of Americans who are suffering from fuel poverty, like Sharon Garcia, a single mom in Pueblo, Colorado, whose home doubles as a daycare center—the source of her meager income. Because Colorado’s lawmakers decided to fight global warming by reducing carbon dioxide emissions, Pueblo’s electricity provider replaced inexpensive coal-fired

We Pray for Religious Leaders to Understand the Science and Economics of Climate Change and Energy Policy

Heavenly Father, I pray for religious leaders like Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, who with the best of intentions are urging their followers to embrace global warming alarmism, thinking that by so doing they will help protect the poor. Lord, please open their eyes to the strong scientific evidence that natural
