This is the third in a series by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. (Meteorology), Principal Research Scientist, University of Alabama at Huntsville, exposing media bias in reporting about climate change. This first appeared as part of a longer article by Dr. Spencer on his blog.The yearly, area-averaged surface temperature of the Earth is about 60 deg. F. It has been slowly and irregularly rising in recent decades at a rate of about 0.3 or 0.4 deg. F per decade.So, let’s say … [Read more...]
How You Can Help Bahamians Devastated by Dorian
When Hurricane Dorian ground to a halt over the Bahamas, it was immediately clear that the result would be widespread devastation. While, thank God, the death toll has remained comparatively low so far, the cost in terms of destroyed homes, businesses, and infrastructure is breathtaking.At times like this, Christians ask, "How can I help?" Few of us have the skills, the understanding, or even the opportunity to go on-site and lend direct help. Those who lack those but go on-site anyway often, … [Read more...]
Evidence of Media Bias about Climate Change Part 2: Greenland is Rapidly Melting
This is the second in a series by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. (Meteorology), Principal Research Scientist, University of Alabama at Huntsville, exposing media bias in reporting about climate change. This first appeared as part of a longer article by Dr. Spencer on his blog.The Greenland ice sheet gains new snow every year, and gravity causes the sheet to slowly flow to the sea where ice is lost by calving of icebergs. How much ice resides in the sheet at any given time … [Read more...]
Evidence of Media Bias about Climate Change Part 1: Amazon Burning
This is the first in a series by Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D. (Meteorology), Principal Research Scientist, University of Alabama at Huntsville, exposing media bias in reporting about climate change. This first appeared as part of a longer article by Dr. Spencer on his blog.A few days ago, The Guardian announced Large swathes of the Amazon rainforest are burning. I don’t know how this has suddenly entered the public’s consciousness, but for those of us who … [Read more...]
Mainstream Media Hijack Hurricane Dorian For Climate-Change Alarm
As I write at 11 a.m. Eastern Time Monday, Hurricane Dorian, with sustained winds of 155 mph—barely below Category 5—is pounding the Bahamas and moving very slowly westward, forecast to turn north later today.After crawling slowly up the Florida and Georgia coasts Tuesday through Wednesday, Dorian is forecast to turn northeast Thursday morning and continue its crawl along the coasts of South and North Carolina.By Friday morning the eye could be east of North Carolina’s outer … [Read more...]
Amazon Fires Not Unprecedented: Data Reveal Good News
Fires in the Amazon rainforest have been the topic of a global environmental scare. Some people blame climate change. They say it makes the burn rate worse than usual. French President Emmanuel Macron called it “an international crisis.”But are we witnessing the rainforest’s death? Are the “lungs of the earth” burning beyond repair?Not according to the data.The Amazon rainforest is close to my heart. An avid nature lover, I have spent much time in tropical rainforests. I have always wanted to … [Read more...]
Climate Fears Fail to Keep Coal at Bay
Despite heightened fears of climate crisis, the global coal market remains upbeat. India and China, two of the largest producers and consumers of coal, have ramped up their coal production and show no signs of slowdown.The United States, Australia, and Indonesia follow the big two, but their production and consumption levels are far less than China’s.Reports came in early August that there has been a surge in Chinese coal mine approvals. In the first half of 2019 alone, the government has … [Read more...]
How to Avoid Restrictive Climate Policies: Asian Giants Set the Example
With each passing year, nations are becoming sensitive to the fact that climate change is not as dangerous as it was believed to be.Crop yields continue to increase, life expectancy rates have gone up dramatically, and more importantly the temperature levels failed to follow the lead of carbon dioxide emissions.As a result, and the responsibility to meet growing domestic energy demands, countries are finding new ways to bypass the climate pressure from international … [Read more...]
Renewable Failure and Renewable Threats to Wildlife Become a Global Norm
As the Paris climate agreement pushes for more and more renewable installments globally, reports of failure of installed renewables, especially wind and solar, are also becoming increasingly common.Nobody wishes for wind and solar to fail. After all, billions of dollars have been invested in them. I, like many others, desire to see renewables strengthen the existing energy infrastructure globally.Sadly, and inevitably, though, the drawbacks and limitations of wind and solar keep resurfacing, no … [Read more...]
Expensive climate change programs hurt the poor most
A new study confirms what conservatives have long suspected: Expensive climate change programs, such as the Green New Deal, would hurt the poor the most.Researchers from the Euro-Mediterranean Center for Climate Change estimate that if every country participating in the Paris climate accord actually fulfilled its greenhouse gas emission reduction pledges, more than 3 million people will be pushed into poverty. That’s on top of the 1 billion people around the world who still don’t … [Read more...]
