Father, it’s so easy in this life to let other things take Your place in or thinking. Wealth, friendships, freedom, our own pride—these and many other things we tend to prioritize above You. Free us from these, we pray, and free the many people who have turned the world itself into their god—“atheist” secularists for whom the material world is the ultimate reality, pantheist spiritualists for whom the cosmos is god, primitive animists who substitute many gods for you. Those attitudes are … [Read more...]
#SanFranciscoKnew—What Did San Francisco Know about Climate Change, and When Did It Know It?
David Johnson, who follows us on Facebook, brought our attention to this article, which demonstrates that some California cities, including San Francisco, which with Oakland is suing five major oil companies including ExxonMobil, alleging that the companies suppressed from their stockholders what they knew about the risks of climate change to their stocks' future value, are guilty of exactly that practice themselves in dealing with their bondholders. Here's the essence of the story: ... consider … [Read more...]

Did Oil Companies Conspire to Hide Their Knowledge about Climate Change?
Everybody knows Big Oil has conspired to hide the fact that it knew decades ago that its product was causing global warming that puts all humanity at risk. Greens have been claiming that since the 1990s. AG's United for Clean Power endorsed the claim and initiated investigations and lawsuits. Except not. For years independent journalist Russell Cook has exposed the errors of the conspiracy claim. Now a federal judge in the ultra-liberal San Francisco circuit has rejected the claim, too. In … [Read more...]
What’s Behind the Rhetoric of ‘Climate Change’ and the Demonizing of Skeptics?
Emily Holden is a well-trained rhetorician. In her Politico article “Climate change skeptics run the Trump administration,” she writes of President Trump and his appointees’ “disbelief in the scientific evidence for climate change,” which of course is spin in multiple ways. Holden depends from the start on the fact that skepticism of “climate change” is now widely considered anti-scientific. Yet as the philosopher of science Robert K. Merton wrote 80 years ago, “Most institutions demand … [Read more...]
Why Do Christians Pray?
Why do Christians pray? Well, whatever our reasons, the fact that we pray doesn’t distinguish us from most other people everywhere and all the time. As the Encyclopedia Britannica points out, many scholars describe prayer as “religion’s primary mode of expression.” It is “to religion what rational thought is to philosophy.” That is, just as there’s no philosophy without rational thought, there’s no religion without prayer. It has been an element of all religious practice through all human … [Read more...]
The elementary error of physics that caused the global warming scare
[Editor's note: Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley, a British journalist and polymath who has been at the forefront of arguments against catastrophic anthropogenic global warming, prepared this document for submission as a brief to U.S. District Judge William Alsup in a case brought by San Francisco and Oakland against five major oil companies that seeks to hold the companies liable for damages from warming caused by the use of their products. It was first published at … [Read more...]
Chennai, India’s Cold Winter vs. Global Warming Hype
Why do developing countries like India fear calling out the climate myth? Because doing so would risk international trade relations by challenging the European economic powerhouses that are vehemently opposed to any country that leaves the Paris accord. In fact, the European Union’s new Brussels policy stipulates that the EU will not sign trade pacts with any country that does not ratify the Paris agreement. While many climate alarmists call for India to cut down its dependence on coal, fearing … [Read more...]
The Hazards of Lending Books on Climate Change
Today my good friend Dr. Tom Sheahen, a physicist and head of the Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology (ITEST), wrote to say, Already this morning a friend sent me the "Patriot Post" rendition of your article ["Senator Whitehouse, Your New Wardrobe Is Ready"] that quotes me at length. Thank you very much. The "sackcloth and ashes" wardrobe line was really clever. I didn't see that coming at all. I just wish some members of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church would … [Read more...]
