How fast are Greenland and Antarctica losing ice? If you trust the National Climate Assessment (NCA), you’ll think, “Very fast!” And that’s intentional. The aim is to provoke fear so the American public will support the Obama administration’s aim to spend $Trillions fighting global warming. Here’s how the NCA (in Appendix 4, FAQ-L) depicts the rate of loss from the ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica: Pretty steep declines, right? Downright scary. But if there’s any way to depict … [Read more...]
Join Governors Urging Obama to Adopt Sane Energy and Environment Policy!
The governors of nine states recently wrote an excellent letter to President Barack Hussein Obama urging him to “pursue a pragmatic energy policy that balances our nation’s economic needs, energy security, and environmental quality objectives.” The Cornwall Alliance has been trumpeting this message for years. It’s great to see these governors embracing it. Pointing out that new breakthroughs in energy production in America have saved the average American household nearly $1,000 a year, the … [Read more...]
Global Warming Alarmist Makes Bogus Challenge to Skeptics
The brilliant Progressives over at the Daily Kos are all atwitter about the bold wager of $10,000 offered by physicist Dr. Christopher Keating to anyone who can “prove, via the scientific method, that man-made global climate change is not occurring.” Wow! It’s put-up or shut-up time for climate skeptics like us at the Cornwall Alliance, right? Ten grand ripe for the picking!All we have to do is lay out our proof and collect the dough.And if we don’t? Well, obviously we’re admitting we don’t dare … [Read more...]
Punish Your Enemy, Crush the Poor? EPA’s New CO2 Rule Turns Christian Ethics Upside Down
Originally Published in the Christian Post June 13, 2014 Jesus taught that we're to love our enemies and look after the poor. But a new rule from the Obama Administration seems to fly in the face of both mandates.By now practically everyone in America must know that the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) new proposed rule on carbon-dioxide emissions from power plants will cost a lot and achieve next to nothing.Cost? About $50 billion a year in lost production to the U.S. economy, … [Read more...]
Bogus Poll Touts Widespread Support for Obama’s CO2 Cuts
The headline couldn’t have been more celebratory: “A huge majority of Americans support regulating carbon from power plants. And they’re even willing to pay for it.” Uh-huh. Here’s the key question: “What if that significantly lowered greenhouse gases but raised your monthly energy expenses by 20 dollars a month - in that case do you think the government should or should not limit the release of greenhouse gases?” Note that figure: $20/month, equals $240 per year. But the real cost on … [Read more...]
Website Visitor Accuses Us of Lies and Propaganda; We Respond

“Climate Science”? Or Irrational Thuggery
When Dr. Lennart Bengtsson, one of the world’s leading meteorologists who had for years warned people of dangerous, manmade global warming, began to publish his doubts because observed temperatures weren’t rising anywhere near as fast as the computer climate models predicted, some of his former “comrades in alarms” got upset. When the veteran Swedish climate scientist agreed to serve as an advisor to a major think tank that calls for balanced research and reporting about climate, they went from … [Read more...]
Familiar Environmental Deceit Threatens Pro-Life Movement Again
The United States pro-life movement (also known as the United States anti-abortion movement or the United States right-to-life movement) is a social and political movement in the United States opposing on moral or sectarian grounds elective abortion and usually supporting its legal prohibition or restriction.” So begins the Wikipedia article on “United States pro-life movement.” Nonetheless, as it did on mercury emissions from power plants, the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) now wants … [Read more...]
University of Delaware Threatens Cornwall Senior Fellow’s Academic Freedom
Apparently the law doesn’t apply to everyone equally in Delaware. Climate alarmists get protection; climate skeptics—don’t. When the Competitive Enterprise Institute filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the University of Delaware (UD) for information related to three faculty members who had as part of their employment done work for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, UD Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence White refused on the grounds that the … [Read more...]
End Federal Ethanol Policy’s Harm to the Poor and the Environment
To borrow a phrase from another debate (where it is misused), the science is settled. So is the economics. As Peter Suderman points out, the federal Environmental Protection Agency proposes reducing from 18.5 billion to 15.2 billion gallons the amount of renewable fuel (essentially, ethanol, almost all from corn) it requires refiners to mix into total U.S. gasoline production each year. Well, the longest journey begins with a single step. But this journey could be completed in one fell … [Read more...]
