Like my peers in the 1990s, I watched plenty of wildlife shows on TV. David Attenborough, the famous natural historian, was among the most powerful voices. Many nature lovers admire him. He helped kindle my passion for wildlife conservation. After university, I worked on many assignments to conserve species around the world. Never would I have guessed that Attenborough would undermine science. But he does. Attenborough is Wrong How? He says civilization is near collapse. And he wrongly … [Read more...]
Baby, Is It Really Cold Outside? Christmas and Climate Change
“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” is an Academy Award-winning popular song by Frank Loesser and is regarded as a Christmas song because of its winter theme. It became popular in the 1940s. Recently it made news for wrong reasons. Some radio stations banned the holiday standard owing to pressure from feminists and the #MeToo movement, while others continued to play it. But I am more interested in the “cold winter” aspect that the song portrays. Is Christmas cold any longer? Did climate change make … [Read more...]
The Antarctic Odyssey: Secret Colonies, Melting Ice, and Climate Fairytales
In an era of climate fearmongering, the curious case of Antarctica has more to offer than mere fairytales and could play an important role in understanding our planet’s future. Sprawling over an area of 5.5 million square miles (and nearly 11 million square miles in winter), Antarctica is a virtually uninhabited, ice-covered landmass holding 90 percent of the ice on the planet. The continent has been of interest to explorers, scientists, and occasional tourists. The absence of human … [Read more...]
Prayer for 2019: A call to pray for missions, leaders, and development
As 2018 passed into 2019, I found myself thinking about how to pray for matters on a global scale. Having had some time to ruminate on it now, I’d like to share some of my thoughts with you. There is always a reason for hope for those in Christ. God, through His Son, has not only given us assurance of “good things to come” but also called us to actively participate with Him in reconciling this world to Him through Christ. The least a believer can do is pray for the poor and hurting in our … [Read more...]
Strange Agreements and Stranger Taxes: The United Nations’ Climate Drama
When I first watched Stranger Things (a Netflix original) in 2016, I thought the story writer was really talented and the show lived up to its name. But a real-world storyline is even stranger: the climate policies recommended to us by the UnitedNations. Despite its many scientific and structural failings, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the world’s most influential, though not the most credible, source of policy on climate change. No other political or … [Read more...]
Climate Alarmism is Just a Fairy Tale
Imagine a new narrative of the Snow White story for our time. The original story was set in the Black Forest. Near the mountains, the Black Forest was Germany’s holiday playground. Imagine a new version set in the hill stations of northern India (my country). The hill stations are near the mighty Himalayas, India’s holiday playground. The original Snow White was shaped be fears of wicked witches. The new one would be shaped by fears of wicked humanity. How are they wicked? By burning … [Read more...]
Les Misérables of Climate Drama
In the world-famous drama based on Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables, Jean Valjean is released on parole from the Bagne of Toulon after serving nineteen years for stealing a loaf of bread. Yes, for stealing a loaf of bread! A jail term of 19 years seems like an excessive punishment for a piece of bread. It does invoke anger and sadness in many as they first see the play. But what about real-world situations that are more miserable? Imagine if whole countries are branded as evil and … [Read more...]
Adapt, Change, or Just Swim! Why Fish Will Not Face Climate Apocalypse
It is said the modern man-made climate change impacts ocean life, more specifically the life of marine fishes. It is said that some species could become extinct or vulnerable in the near future. However, are these claims true, and what does the available empirical evidence suggest? During my three years as a graduate student at the University of British Columbia’s Changing Oceans Research Institute (CORU), after earning my M.Sc. in environmental sciences, I had the opportunity to study the … [Read more...]
Climate Change’s #MeToo Movement: The Dark Secrets of Climate Saviors
The #MeToo movement this year exposed the dark secrets of Hollywood and many other global organizations. But the #MeToo movement within one fraternity has been suppressed and underreported by the leftist media. And that is the Climate Change fraternity encompassing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and their climate change conferences that host a wide network of collaborators, including climate scientists … [Read more...]
Why Christianity Is the World’s Most Eco-friendly Philosophy
Environmental problems have become part of our everyday lives. There isn’t a news website homepage that does not highlight news related to our environment, and environmental issues have become central themes of major elections. But we have reached a point where we no longer understand the role of man in the environment around us. What brought us here? Humans and the environment are inseparable. Whether you are a theist or an atheist, you cannot be disconnected from the environment. All of … [Read more...]
