Global Warming: Powerful New Evidence Surfaces That Contradicts Manmade Claims

By /

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 […]

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,

What Does Christmas Have to Do with Ecology?

By /

Nearly fifty years ago, historian Lynn White, Jr., published in Science magazine an article that soon became famous, was reproduced hundreds of times in anthologies and course readings, and is still in use in college courses on environmental ethics, religion, and policy. In “The Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis,” White claimed, “By destroying pagan

Obama’s “Climate Education and Literacy Initiative”: How Do You Spell “I-N-D-O-C-T-R-I-N-A-T-I-O-N”?

By /

With Obamacare obviously failing to provide promised affordable health care and falling apart in the face of legal challenges and states’ refusal to participate, it’s becoming increasingly clear that President Obama has decided to make ending “climate change” his legacy. “If you believe, like I do, that something has to be done on this, then

Three Great Legacies of Climategate

By /

It’s been five years now since Climategate broke, and three years since Climategate II broke. The disclosures of thousands of emails, computer programs, and other documents from the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia revealed scandalous scientific misconduct of monumental proportions—enough that it has crippled the credibility of an entire field of science (paleoclimatology) and seriously tarnished the

Does Jesus Make a Difference for the Sick and Dying?

By /

With Thanksgiving just past and Christmas approaching, it’s fitting that we thank God for some of the blessings not only Christians but also non-Christians enjoy because of Jesus Christ’s coming. Two of them are tightly tied together. Most people today—Christian or not—admire mercy, compassion, and pity, and for that reason most people—again, Christian or not—live

Special Report: Did Global Warming Cause Massive Northeast Snowstorm?

By /

As a boy I lived in Owego, in rural upstate New York just north of the Pennsylvania border about halfway to Ohio, in the late 1950s to mid-1960s. Our locale was more moderate in winter than Buffalo, both in temperature and in snowfall. Nonetheless, it was fairly common to have blizzards that would dump two

Man, Woman, the Mystery of Christ—and Environmental Stewardship

What do marriage, childbearing and childrearing, economic development, and environmental stewardship have to do with each other? More than you might imagine! Consider those topics in reverse order.

Obama Sacrifices American Prosperity on the Altar of Climate Hype

By /

Where was President Barack Obama on Veteran’s Day? Was he honoring the nation’s war dead at Arlington National Cemetery? Encouraging her soldiers in training at one of the military academies? Issuing an executive order to force the Veterans’ Administration to respond promptly and efficiently to the needs of our wounded warriors and their surviving dependents?
