Originally published on WattsUpWithThat.com. Alan Leshner is worried. It seems scientists are having a hard time getting the public to understand science, and since “Public understanding of science … contributes to the extent of support for scientific research,” something must be done. Leshner, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and Executive Publisher of its flagship publication, Science, wrote in a recent editorial, “There is no shortage of topics where … [Read more...]
Putting Together the Pieces in the Spiritual World War
Did you know that Darwinism, the sexual revolution, and the Green movement, all working together, threaten the sanctity of human life; the dignity of human sexuality, marriage, and the family; and the God-given mandate for human beings to exercise godly dominion over the Earth? They do, and they’re all parts of a spiritual world war in which Satan, who hates God but cannot attack Him directly, attacks His image/representative—humanity. A little historical background, tied to an … [Read more...]
Your Tax Dollars at Work – Stealing Your Child’s Mind!
For generations America’s public schools have indoctrinated our children with the dogma of Darwinism: life arose and developed by chance, no Creator involved. Now they’re poised to indoctrinate them with another dogma: catastrophic, global warming—not just global warming, but catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming (CAGW). Never mind that in both cases thousands of scientists reject the dogma. Never mind that in both cases the theories fail to account for large numbers of empirical facts. … [Read more...]
Special Alert: Climate Alarmists on the Left Seek to Capture Young Evangelicals
For years, the Cornwall Alliance has been warning that radical environmentalists are infiltrating evangelical churches, “greening” the gospel message, and targeting our youth. A major recent development in that infiltration is the founding of Young Evangelicals for Climate Action.Don’t let the name fool you. Though its public spokesman, Ben Lowe, is young, the prime movers behind him have been pushing environmental alarm, and before that wealth redistribution through the welfare state, for many … [Read more...]
Climate Change: Who Speaks for You?
If you believe global warming is cyclical and mostly natural; human contribution is minor and not dangerous; and attempting to prevent human influence by cuts in carbon-dioxide emissions would cost trillions of dollars, trap billions of people in developing countries in poverty, and so do more harm than good … … then you need to know something and be prepared to act: President Barack Obama has said that “the most important policy he could address in his second term is climate change.” … [Read more...]
“Climate Scientists” and Mainstream Media Team Up Again to Incite Groundless Fears
The mainstream media and global warming alarmists are at it again—confusing weather with climate, appealing to “tipping points,” doing their best to scare the public into the kind of panic that would let politicians commit us to budget-busting, economy-crippling, liberty-destroying policies to fight it. Last week CNN breathlessly reported, “More record warmth as scientists warn of global tipping point.” The article began: It's hot out there. But this time, it's more than idle watercooler talk, … [Read more...]
Environmentalism: The Established Religion of Western Society?
Last week Dr. Vaclav Klaus, an economist, the second President of the Czech Republic (2003–), whom The Times of London described as the Margaret Thatcher of Central Europe and who knows what it is to live under tyranny, said of believers in catastrophic anthropogenic global warming: Their ideas are the ideas of ideologues, not of scientists or climatologists. Data and sophisticated theories will never change their views. We have to accept that they have succeeded in establishing the religion of … [Read more...]
Recommended Readings on the Global Warming Debate
From time to time the Cornwall Alliance receives requests for recommended readings on the debate over catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming (CAGW). Although it takes considerable time, we always send personal replies to such requests, believing that’s one of the ways we can serve people. If you’re a Cornwall Alliance supporter, this is part of what your donations make possible. If you’re not, we hope you’ll consider becoming one. But it also makes sense to make such recommendations … [Read more...]
Are Mercury Emissions as Evil as Abortion? Somebody Wants Voters to Think So
Green group’s notion of pro-life comes straight from Alice in Wonderland “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”—Humpty Dumpty How do you turn politicians with 100% pro-abortion voting records into pro-lifers? The old-fashioned way would have been to persuade them that killing babies in their mothers’ wombs violates the God-given, unalienable right to life that governments are instituted among men to protect. But persuasion can be difficult. Not to … [Read more...]
The EPA Delivers “Unwanted Present” For Christmas
The Cornwall Alliance Warns Christians EPA Regulations Do Not Carry a Pro-Life Banner (December 22, Washington, DC)—“Yesterday the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave Americans a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings,” said Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, National Spokesman of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. “The unwanted present?
