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 power plants with more expensive gas-fired plants, and passed on the costs to customers. Sharon’s monthly electric bill … [Read more...]
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 forces far outweigh human forces in determining Earth’s temperature and that reducing fossil fuel use will have little or no effect on temperature, … [Read more...]
We Pray for the Honorable Scientists Who Are Being Attacked for Speaking Truth
Heavenly Father, Your Law clearly commands us not to bear false witness against our neighbors. Right now eight courageous people weigh heavily on my mind—eight climate scholars targeted by a politically motivated and baseless attack on their personal integrity because they are so intrepid as to stand against a powerful tide driven by enormous political and financial interests. Father, please vindicate Dr. Robert C. Balling of Arizona State University, Dr. John Christy of the University of … [Read more...]
We Pray for the Pastors, Scientists, Theologians, and economists Who Co-Labor With Us
Heavenly Father, thank You for the cooperation of all the many pastors, theologians, scientists, economists, and other scholars and leaders who have co-labored alongside the Cornwall Alliance in the nearly ten years since our founding. These men and women have given generously of their time and expertise, without payment, writing articles for us, answering technical questions, speaking on our behalf for churches, schools, conferences, and radio talk shows, even testifying as expert witnesses … [Read more...]
We Pray for Creation
Heavenly Father, You cause Your sun to shine and Your rain to fall on the just and the unjust. You show Yourself immensely loving to all Your creatures—people of every tribe and tongue and nation, animals and plants of all sorts, Earth and Sun and Moon and all planets and stars in the heavens. Indeed, You call every one of the hundreds of billions of stars by name! Your understanding is infinite, Your patience amazing, Your grace abounding, Your justice perfect. We praise and glorify You for all … [Read more...]
God of Creation
I will always remember my first trip through the Rocky Mountains, when I was ten years old. The rugged, towering mountains were beautiful, but their impact on our family was heightened by our repeated cries of “Oh! Look at that! Isn’t it beautiful!” and “Look! Look! Have you ever seen anything so awesome?” Had each of us kept his thoughts to himself, we might all have forgotten that drive by now. Instead, not only the vistas but also the original excitement remained forever imprinted in our … [Read more...]
Oppressing the Poor In the Name of Fighting Global Warming
"No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change." So said President Barack Obama in his State of the Union message last week. That he spent under 5% of the speech on the subject—about one-ninth as much as on the economy, one-fifth as much as on our need to overcome cynicism, and a little less even than on affordable college education—and tucked it away in a section about two-thirds of the way through suggests that the President doesn't really believe it … [Read more...]
Why 2014 was, and was not, the ‘hottest year in recorded history’
Media all over America and around the world have trumpeted the news: “2014 Was Hottest Year on Earth in Recorded History,” to quote the New York Times headline. The Times’s lead paragraph touted this as “underscoring scientific warnings about the risks of runaway emissions and undermining claims by climate-change contrarians that global warming had somehow stopped.” But it’s time to look below the surface—or, as you’ll see in a moment, above it. Let’s dispense with the simplest error … [Read more...]
Global Warming: Powerful New Evidence Surfaces That Contradicts Manmade Claims
On the heels of the Vatican's announcement that the Pope intends to urge support for an international agreement to fight global warming by reducing human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil-fuel energy use, a new peer-reviewed scientific paper reveals powerful evidence that CO2 emissions contribute far less to global warming than widely thought. The paper, "Why models run hot: results from an irreducibly simple climate model," appeared in the January 8 edition of Science Bulletin … [Read more...]
If a Mountain Gets Cast into the Sea, What Happens?
“Shiver me timbers! Mount Everest, cast into the sea! Every two years! What is this world coming to?!” That’s the kind of panicky response climate alarmists count on when they write headlines like the one in the Washington Post December 3: “This West Antarctic region sheds a Mount Everest-sized amount of ice every two years, study says.” (That puts a whole new spin on Jesus’ saying, “if you have faith and do not doubt, you will … say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ … [Read more...]
