Can you believe 2019 is coming to a close? Neither can we! This has been a landmark year in Cornwall Alliance's history. Why? Because all these years we have operated as a project of another 501(c)(3) organization. But this year we took a leap of faith, and did a whole lot of hard work, and became our own, independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit!That process is almost complete. We received our 501(c)(3) determination letter from the IRS—a huge … [Read more...]
Climate change: a first-world problem?
Ever heard of “first world problems”? Like home Internet quitting for 15 minutes? Bad mobile signal? Online deliveries arriving late? Can’t fast-forward live TV? A closet full of clothes but “nothing to wear”? Sitting near an infant on a flight to Bali? Chipped nail polish?My quick survey suggests that, at least for Christians in developing countries, climate change/global warming is a “first world problem.”Sure, the politicians and bureaucrats in other countries care about climate … [Read more...]
Rising sea level, higher storm surges, milder winters, oh my!
Today's email brought this from someone recently returned from a cruise along the coasts of New England and Canada:I think I heard at least two, maybe three, of the Canadian tour guides make comments regarding global warming. They are fully convinced that it is happening and that it is having a drastic effect on sea levels. They commented about eighteenth-century ship-tying rings that are now three feet underwater. They mentioned storm surges that are higher lately than they … [Read more...]
Katharine Hayhoe strikes again
Earlier this week someone sent me a link to Katharine Hayhoe's column "I'm a Climate Scientist Who Believes in God. Hear Me Out," published in the New York Times October 31. In it Hayhoe, whose Ph.D. is in atmospheric science but who teaches in the political science department at Texas Tech University, criticizes the thinking of fellow evangelicals who disagree with her about the causes, magnitude, consequences, and appropriate responses to climate change/global warming.Referring to "attacks" … [Read more...]
What about geoengineering?
Recently someone wrote asking, " How does geoengineering factor in with your Climate Change beliefs?"The Cornwall Alliance as a body hasn’t addressed this question, so what I say here is solely my own thinking.The answer depends heavily on what one means by geoengineering. Humankind has been engineering the earth in many ways, small and large, for thousands of years: building dams, felling forests, planting crops, digging canals and aqueducts, draining swamps, irrigating deserts, building roads … [Read more...]
Pompeo Announces U.S. Withdrawal from Paris Climate Agreement!
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced yesterday that the United States has given official notice of its withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.The Cornwall Alliance has advocated for this ever since President Donald Trump took office and considers it a great win for common sense, good science, good economics, and good politics.Full implementation of the Paris agreement through the end of the century would cost $70 to $140 trillion and would reduce global average surface temperature by no … [Read more...]
The Giga and Terra Scam of Offshore Wind Energy
Can anti-fossil fuel policies based on climate crisis alarmism possibly get any more insane than this? In what might be described as a pre-Halloween trick of ginormous proportions, the International Energy Agency (IEA) now asserts that “renewable, sustainable” energy output will explode over the next two decades. Certainly for onshore wind and solar energy – but especially for offshore wind, says the IEA. “Offshore wind currently provides just 0.3% of global power generation,” IEA executive … [Read more...]
Climategate: Ten years later
This month marks the tenth anniversary of “Climategate” – the release of thousands of emails to and from climate scientists who had been (and still are) collaborating and colluding to create a manmade climate crisis that exists in their minds and computer models, but not in the real world. The scandal should have ended climate catastrophism. Instead, it was studiously buried by politicians, scientists, activists, and crony capitalists, who will rake in trillions of dollars from the … [Read more...]
Electrify Everything’ Policies Would Eliminate Gas Heating and Cooking
Originally published in TheInvadingSea.Natural gas and propane serve as excellent low-cost fuels for heating and cooking. Last year, natural gas usage grew faster than renewables in the United States. But advocates of green energy policies would eliminate gas for heating and cooking.According to the US Department of Energy, since 2007, US consumption of natural gas increased by 31 percent, rising from 23 to 30 percent of US primary energy consumption. Gas displaced coal as the preferred fuel for … [Read more...]
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Blames Global Warming for Wildfires
“CALIFORNIA BURNING”Better pour yourselves another cup of decaf, before you read this, California.AOC wouldn't recognize climate change if it were staring her straight in the face.The real cause underlying California’s annual spate of fires is the dearth of workable forestry management practices in Sacramento. That is added to the failure of local government officials to enact and enforce effective zoning restrictions on residential development in fire-prone areas. Sprawling … [Read more...]
