It’s raining. It’s been raining nonstop for five hours. Heavily. It’s done that for four straight days. Farmers all over southern India, where I live, are rejoicing. And the rainy season has not even begun! According to climate-change alarmists, none of this should be happening. They have predicted increasing drought for India from man-made global warming. They’ve also predicted declining harvests because of it. That has created panic. Farmers in southern India were already nervous … [Read more...]
Take Secret Science Out of the EPA: An Open Letter in Support of Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science
Click here to sign the Open Letter. The federal Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed rule “Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science,” banning the agency’s use of “secret science” in formulating regulations, should be adopted. It is badly needed to assure American taxpayers that the EPA is truly acting in their best interests. Objections are groundless. Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science (STRS) provides that “When promulgating significant regulatory … [Read more...]
Insect-borne Diseases Spreading in the United States? Blame EPA, Not Exxon
Last fall Politico ran a special feature on global health that featured a graphic presentation of increased incidence of insect-borne diseases in the United States from 2004 to 2013, blaming the increase on global warming. "Warming global temperatures are changing the range and behavior of disease-carrying insects like mosquitos and ticks and extending the seasons in which they are active. As a result, incidence of the diseases they carry---including Lyme, spotted fever, West Nile and … [Read more...]
Did You “Simmer” in the “Third-Hottest April”?
Cornwall Alliance Research Associate for Developing Countries Vijay Jayaraj recently wrote "Four Reasons Alarmists Are Wrong on Climate Change," which we sent out in our email newsletter. We often receive emails regarding these newsletters, and always try to provide a response. One of the emails about Vijay's article led to Dr. Beisner writing a response about global temperatures that helps to answer some common questions. The original email simply said, "See attached article for an accurate … [Read more...]
Quick Q&A about Genetically Modified Foods
A friend of Cornwall Alliance in Africa wrote, I am not yet certain what the real truth is about Genetically Modified Organisms (God's). Are they dangerous, or are they harmless? In a recent article on your blog, the writer totally asserts there's no danger in GMO'S, and provides links for further reading on actual findings about these products. I wonder, why is there such an aggressive crusade against them? Even well meaning, mature Christian leaders speak against their use. I would like to … [Read more...]
Endless Winter in the Era of Climate Crusade: A Wakeup Call
On every Earth Day coming, attention around the world turns to environmental issues. None is more famous — or infamous — than climate change. The winter of 2017–2018 has stirred debate about global warming. Some say the long, cold winter should quell climate alarmism. Others use it as evidence for extreme manmade warming. Who’s right? An Inconvenient Winter Temperatures plummeted way below normal across the Northern Hemisphere this winter. Many cities in Canada, America, England, and Europe … [Read more...]
What’s a “Climate Skeptic”?
In his recent article “Four Reasons Alarmists Are Wrong on Climate Change,” Cornwall Alliance Research Associate for Developing Countries Vijay Jayaraj distinguished what, following widespread usage, he called climate-change alarmists, deniers, and skeptics. The “alarmists” generally think that human emissions of carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) are driving global warming so rapid and eventually of such great magnitude as to be dangerous or even catastrophic and that the appropriate … [Read more...]
Four Reasons Alarmists Are Wrong on Climate Change
Earth Day this year focused officially on the need to reduce plastic litter, a worthy and achievable goal. Nonetheless, much Earth Day activity concentrated on the alleged need to save the planet from climate change. Climate-change alarmists have long called the current warming period “unprecedented” and “dangerous.” But is it? Ironically, this Earth Day fell in the midst of one of the coldest Aprils in North American history. The severe winter of 2017–2018 has raised debates from two … [Read more...]
Cornwall Contributing Writer Gregory Wrightstone featured on CBN News!

He cites fact after fact that contradicts claims of dangerous manmade global warming and explaining why President Trump and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt … [Read more...]
What Does A Weatherman Know About Settled Climate Science?
What does a weatherman know about the climate? This question is posed all the time as an argument by leftist climate activists against any meteorologist who would dare to oppose the “consensus” narrative that humans are causing long-term, disastrous global climate change. But the argument demonstrates the lack of understanding many have with respect to the discipline of atmospheric science. Those trained in the math- and physics- based atmospheric sciences (this frequently excludes broadcast … [Read more...]
