Australia was literally on fire in December. Record heat made headlines in global media. So did the extreme rainfall in east Africa. You and everybody else on earth can guess what climate alarmists blamed for both: man-made global warming, a.k.a. climate change. But record cold in northern India at the same time didn’t make headlines in any major media in the United States or the United Kingdom. Why? Because it didn’t fit expectations. It’s a perfect example of climate … [Read more...]
India’s Fossil-Fuel-First Policy Unyielding to Paris Climate Deal Pressure
The Indian government has adopted a fossil-fuel-first attitude and has made clear it will not compromise India’s developmental goals to fight climate change. The Paris agreement is the United Nation’s flagship climate treaty aimed at reducing global CO2 emissions. India’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), the country’s official commitment to the Paris agreement, states that the total preliminary estimated cost for India’s climate change actions (between 2016 and 2030) is $2.5 … [Read more...]
Isn’t Gene Editing a Better Form of Crossbreeding?
Last month the Environment, Public Health, and Food Safety committee (ENVI) of the European Parliament voted to oppose the European Union’s plan to approve four crops—varieties of cotton, soybeans, and maize (corn)—genetically modified to resist herbicides. Their vote exemplifies the mistaken belief that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are unsafe. No one would be sadder than the late Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug. Aside from scientists and students in agricultural … [Read more...]
When Winter Knocks Early: Don’t Let Climate Madness Trick You
Winter arrived early this year for many parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Winter has arrived early this year for many parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Much of the U.S. is forecasted to experience record cold temperatures this week. Reports indicate that most states have a high chance of experiencing below-freezing temperatures in this week, as much as 10 degrees (Fahrenheit) lower than the usual lows. Last month, the forecasts for Halloween week did come true as Milwaukee, WI … [Read more...]
When Wolves Infiltrate the Sheepfold: Discerning Climate Truth From Falsehood in Churches
In recent decades, environmental issues have emerged as a major source of concern for our society. Churches, except for a small percentage, have largely remained silent on how Christians should approach and even help overcome the environmental challenges. As a result, Christians have remained susceptible to being deceived by unbiblical principles that demand subscription to radical environmental viewpoints, often antithetical to the biblical doctrines on our relationship with the … [Read more...]
Developing Countries Must Bail out of the Climate Game
As obvious as it may sound, developing countries need more fast-paced development, not moral policing on matters of energy, development, and environment. The onset of the twenty-first century saw the international community coerce developing nations into adopting economy-choking environmental policies. Earlier environmental laws focused on more tangible and empirically verifiable environmental problems, like deforestation and toxic air and water pollution. But in recent decades, … [Read more...]
Dark, Dusty, and Developing: Climate Control Is the Last Thing We Want
This article was originally published on the Patriot Post on September 30, 2019. Despite decades of rapid economic growth, parts of India (where I live) remain severely underdeveloped. Though India has achieved energy surplus — producing more electricity than it consumes — it has yet to fix the country’s dodgy transmission network. Houses in villages remain unconnected to the main grid, and pockets of cities suffer blackouts from faulty transformers. I encounter literal darkness every … [Read more...]
Rainfall Trends in India Show No Climate Fatigue
Climate is particularly important to farmers in agrarian countries. Drought could mean the difference between life and death. India, for example, is predominantly agrarian. Of the country’s 1.3 billion people, 300 million, nearly a fourth, are poor even by Indian standards, and millions of others are on the borderline. So, agriculture is a big deal. Climate alarmists argue that the world has been progressively warming in recent decades (due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions) and … [Read more...]
When Christians get Entangled in Climate Idolatry
The climate school strike movement grabbed the spotlight lately, with students across the world protesting against inaction towards the “climate crisis.” The movement’s leader, Greta Thunberg, has found supporters even in the global church leadership. However, in recent years, the church’s support for the climate movement seems to be morphing into a social justice issue that is void of sound Biblical doctrine. Over the past year, Greta’s climate strike movement has drawn huge support … [Read more...]
Drama Over Science? Greta’s Climate Speech and Appeal to Emotion
As a scientist, I think science ought to have taken center stage at the recently concluded United Nations climate summit in New York City. The reason is obvious: climate change is a scientific issue. Instead, we witnessed a political spectacle. Media outlets and celebrities (on Twitter) celebrated Greta Thunberg’s climate summit speech, making it the highlight of the summit.In a fiery speech, based on a hand-written note, Greta condemned world leaders for making excuses and not acting … [Read more...]
