I have a very simple point to make for you today: that because human material wellbeing depends heavily on access to abundant, affordable, reliable energy, and because fossil fuels are and for the foreseeable future will be, along with nuclear, our best source of such energy, the demand to reduce our use of fossil fuels […]
Having read some 50 books on the science and over 30 on the economics of climate policy, plus thousands of articles, including hundreds of peer-reviewed ones, I could talk on those topics. I could point out that computer climate models on average simulate twice as much warming as observed over the relevant period, and none

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

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

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
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

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

Carolyn Adams Roth reflects here on what likely was the plant from which the Roman soldiers plaited the crown of thorns for Jesus. Reading that got me thinking. On this Good Friday—marking the most horrific sin in all history, the murder of God—it is good to reflect on thorns and what they teach us. The

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

“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
