Many in politics, as well as in the media, are unaware that there is a growing number of Christians who are opposed to the ‘catastrophism’ associated with global warming. They have formed what is called the Cornwall Alliance and produced an excellent statement outlining their position entitled: A Renewed Call to Truth, Prudence, and Protection of the Poor: An Evangelical Examination of the Theology, Science and Economics of Global Warming. Based upon the statement as well as the work by Wayne … [Read more...]
How Do I Protect Myself from Insect-borne Diseases?
Having recently moved from a suburban area nestled in a major metropolitan region to a semi-rural area amid forests, farms, a nature preserve, and even a swamp, I’ve become a little more conscious of the need to take proper precautions against insect-borne diseases. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports, “Disease cases from mosquito, tick, and flea bites tripled in the US from 2004 to 2016. Nine new germs spread by mosquitoes and ticks have been discovered or introduced since … [Read more...]
What Happens to Professors who Dare Question Climate Orthodoxy?
Well, sometimes they're told to shut up. And if they don't, sometimes they get fired. And after that, sometimes they get told to shut up about being fired. That's the gist of what's happened to Dr. Peter Ridd, ex-professor of marine science at James Cook University in Australia. Ridd had the temerity to point out, in a chapter for the book Climate Change: The Facts 2017, that studies on which the claim that rising atmospheric CO2 concentration---blamed also for catastrophic anthropogenic global … [Read more...]
‘Evil’ GE Foods and ‘Eco-Friendly’ Organics
This article was co-authored by Vijay Jayaraj. Across the globe, genetically engineered (GE) crops face opposition from environmental and organic food activists, who claim the crops harm the environment and endanger human health. How factual are their claims? The evidence strongly supports GE over organic crops. Not long ago, Vijay visited the Sprouts organic food store in San Jose, California. To his surprise, organic vegetables that had shorter shelf-life and higher risk of bacterial … [Read more...]
Summer Rains and Record Crop Output: No Room for Climate Lies
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...]
