Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer set the record straight about hurricanes Friday night on Tucker Carlson's Fox News talk show. One of Dr. Spencer's main points in the interview was, as his graph (at right) showed, that the number of intense hurricanes making landfall in the United States has decreased by 50 percent since the 1930's and 1940's. That's contrary to the expectations of global warming alarmists like Al Gore and Michael Mann, who, … [Read more...]
Pray for People in Hurricane Florence’s Path—But Don’t Fall Prey to Alarmist Rhetoric
We should all be praying for those in the path of Hurricane Florence, regardless whether she turns out catastrophic or only (as hurricanes go) a relatively minor problem, and those in her path should be taking all sensible steps to shield themselves from harm, while others prepare to help quickly in the aftermath. At the same time, we should not allow climate-change alarmists to distort the facts by claiming that recent global warming--manmade or otherwise--has caused more frequent or more … [Read more...]
Climate Change: The Green Champion Faded by Lies
Climate change is the public enemy number one. Is there anything good that can come out of climate? Well, it appears so, and without climate change it is likely that much of our world would be starving. Here is why. From soccer World Cup to taking the transit for your work, almost every aspect of our lives has now come under severe scrutiny of climate enthusiasts. The carbon dioxide emission from our daily activities (our “carbon footprint”)—both from individual emissions and collective … [Read more...]
Climate Change 1922
The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate at Bergen Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a … [Read more...]
The Climate-Change Derangement Syndrome: Undermining Science and Demonizing Skeptics
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is fairly popular. Even people in far eastern countries like India and Australia know about it. But little do we hear about Climate-Change Derangement Syndrome (CCDS) and another new syndrome emerging from it. CCDS is a behavioral pattern in which a section of our society responds irrationally to any trend in global temperatures that contradicts its narrative of a dangerous rise in global temperatures, without regard to the actual data. For example, … [Read more...]
Living by the Flood Waters: Life, Death, and Hope in the Midst of Chaos
This month, the Indian state of Kerala received massive rainfall. The subsequent floods displaced 1.3 million people. The experience has left many, including me, shaken yet hopeful. India’s southernmost state, Kerala is famous for its monsoon rains. Rain-bearing clouds from the Indian and Arabian oceans ravage the land every year. They make it a lush, green, tropical paradise. The entire state is separated from its neighboring state by the famous Western Ghats mountain range. These … [Read more...]
Churches’ Assistance Following South India Floods Continues a Long Tradition
Responses to the floods in the southern India state of Kerala that began August 8 and continued for nearly a week reminded many here of the indispensable role the church played in the development of India. Kerala is prone to massive rainfall every year, so initially the intense rainfall raised no alarms. However, within 48 hours, the rains filled all the major dams in the state, and the government declared emergency. Excess water from the dams caused a deluge, making 2 million people … [Read more...]
The Childish Antics of Global Warming Alarmists
“If you won’t play my way, I’m going to take my ball and go home!” One expects such behavior from 7-year-olds. Not from grownups. But that’s the behavior of 60 scientists, journalists, politicians, activists, and others who signed an open letter published in the (dependably sympathetic) Guardian Sunday saying, “we will no longer debate those who deny that human-caused climate change is real.” Why didn’t they just come right out and say, “Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya!” But they offer some … [Read more...]
These Are the Ten Most Polluted Cities in the World—Really?
Environmental scientist and activist James Conca, writing in Forbes, reports on a study by an organization called Eco Experts that these are the world's 10 most polluted cities: I knew the instant I saw Paris and Los Angeles as numbers 9 and 10 that there must be something terribly wrong with the methodology of whatever “study” lay behind these “findings.” When I went to the source, I found this and instantly knew what was wrong: There are two big problems here: (1) limiting the … [Read more...]
Does the San Francisco Jury Verdict against Monsanto Spell Doom for Roundup?
Now that jurors in a San Francisco court have awarded a man $289 million in damages in his lawsuit against Monsanto (and its parent company Bayer) claiming that his exposure to Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller gave him cancer, some people wonder whether the Cornwall Alliance will reverse its view that Roundup (the brand name for the active ingredient glyphosate) is not a carcinogen. The answer: No. The reason: Because the case provides no convincing evidence that glyphosate causes … [Read more...]
