Even With Its Problems, Science Education Lives On In America
This is a guest article by Dr. Sharon Camp. Never have I been so inspired upon being removed from a venue. Actually, as a retired teacher of AP (advanced placement) environmental sciences and chemistry, I haven’t been escorted from very many places. Perhaps none. I should explain. I am a member of the CO2 Coalition in Arlington, Virginia, where I wear my scientist hat – a B.S. in geology and Ph.D. in analytical chemistry – and serve on the organization’s education committee. In … [Read more...]
These New Science Standards Will Indoctrinate Your Kids
The CO2 Coalition has reviewed the National Science Teaching Association’s Position Statement on Climate Change and has found that it has serious problems, which we address in this assessment. Our objections to this document are many but can be separated into two major categories. Our detailed rebuttal, Challenging NSTA Position Statement on Climate Change, was published on March 23, 2023. • Reliance on “consensus” science and a rejection of critical thinking skills and the scientific … [Read more...]
Legates Speaks At Delaware Electric Car Mandate Town Hall Meeting
On March 21, 2023, Professor Legates gave a presentation on climate change to the Delaware Electric Car Mandate Town Hall Meeting at the South Coastal Library in Bethany Beach, Delaware. The meeting was sponsored by the Delaware GOP. Attendance was about 350 people and was standing room only. Delaware is planning to adopt the California standards for air quality by phasing in electric cars by 2035. However, a bill currently in the legislature will require a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions … [Read more...]
‘Cobalt Red’ Review: The Human Price of Cobalt
The following is a guest article by Mark P. Mills. If you want to know what’s being unleashed by the rush to mandate electric cars for a so-called clean-energy transition, read “Cobalt Red.” It will leave you almost as shaken as its author, Siddharth Kara, who braved lawless militia and state-backed soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo as he visited the fountainheads of the world’s lithium-battery supply chain. Mr. Kara, a professor of human trafficking and modern slavery at … [Read more...]
‘Vanishing Habitats’ for Wildlife Greatly Exaggerated in Push for ‘Biodiversity,’ Biden’s ’30 by 30′ Land Grab
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash The following is a guest article by Rob Gordon. First of three articles on wildlife trends in America. Decades-long mantras about “vanishing habitat” and ever-growing threats to wildlife have long been used to justify locking up more land through federal ownership or other restrictive measures. The perfect example is the Biden administration’s proposal to conserve 30% of the nation by 2030—aka “30 by 30.” Exactly what the administration … [Read more...]
The Rise of Totalitarian Science
The following is a guest article by John G. West. The following was originally published on January 31, 2022. In 2007, I published Darwin Day in America, a critical history of social Darwinism in the United States and, more broadly, an exploration of the abuse of science in American public policy in the last century-and-a-half. In 2015, I wrote a new chapter for the paperback edition, highlighting a worrisome trend. I warned: Our culture is witnessing the rise of … [Read more...]
Carlos Conquers Carrington: Could This Be Our Future With Net-Zero?
This is a guest article by John Haller. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash The Solar Storm of 1859. Nobody living today can remember two significant events that occurred in September 1859. These events were separated by a 24-hour break. Our ever-dependable friend the sun, sent two "death rays" our way, sometimes referred to in technical jargon as CMEs, or Coronal Mass Ejections. Solar storms. Humankind had not noticed, nor had they ever been affected by these … [Read more...]
The Gas Stove Prophets
The following is a guest article by Hans Fiene. The secular left keeps seeking the fulfillment of religious impulses with unsatisfying substitutes. A few days ago, I got up to grill myself a quesadilla in a world where gas stoves were apolitical appliances. When I returned, the political left had declared them a threat to humanity. Richard Trumka Jr. of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission stated that a ban on gas stoves should be on the table because, as New York … [Read more...]
Should We Trust the UN’s “Climate Science”?
This is a guest article by Donna Laframboise. Last summer the National Association of Evangelicals, an organization largely in America but with some representation in my country, Canada, published a report that urges Christians to care deeply about climate change. Titled Loving the Least of These, it relies on the work of a United Nations (UN) entity to make its case. Having written two books about that entity—the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—I was sorry … [Read more...]
