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

By /

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

By /

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

We Pray for the Honorable Scientists Who Are Being Attacked for Speaking Truth

By /

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

God of Creation

By /

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

Oppressing the Poor In the Name of Fighting Global Warming

By /

“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

Why 2014 was, and was not, the ‘hottest year in recorded history’

By /

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.

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.

If a Mountain Gets Cast into the Sea, What Happens?

By /

“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,
