An article in the prestigious scientific journal Nature reports that the most comprehensive, reliable method we have of measuring global average temperature reveals a decadal warming rate of just about 0.09C per decade. That's about half the rate predicted by the computer models on which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and various government agencies rely for their predictions of climate doom. Why's that significant? Because it undermines the models' credibility---and the models … [Read more...]
Obama Administration’s EPA Caught Illegally Using Social Media To Push Agenda
Judicial Watch has caught the Obama era EPA red handed breaking federal law. It is illegal for a federal agency to attempt to sway public opinion, but that's exactly what they did. They used non-governmental groups who supported proposed policies, specifically the Waters of the United States rule and the Clean Power Plan, and gave them a way to use social media to change public opinion. I don’t want it to look like EPA used our own social media accounts to reach our support goal’ – EPA Director … [Read more...]
Heritage Foundation: Policymakers have a moral obligation to end the war on fossil fuels.
Kevin Dayaratna, A senior statistician and research programmer in The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Data Analysis, wrote an article this week in the Washington Times on the economic boosts of allowing hydraulic fracturing on government lands. He also clearly laid out the negative economic impacts of rising energy prices when climate alarmist policies are put into effect. From making our morning coffee to riding the D.C. Metro, and whether for powering the computer screen or printing the … [Read more...]
Insincerity, Hypocrisy, and Hype Rife in Bonn Climate Negotiations
An annual two-week luxury climate negotiation excursion for nearly 25,000 government diplomats, bureaucrats, and environmentalists in Bonn, Germany ended on November 17. If one is to believe the PR hype coming out of the conference, the attendants made significant progress concerning how to account for and report domestic greenhouse-gas emissions and progress in their efforts to rein in coal use. However, the truth lurking behind the hype is if one believes humans are causing dangerous … [Read more...]
Climate Change and the Christian Faith
Professor Katharine Hayhoe spoke on "Climate and Faith in the Public Arena" in her John Stott London Lecture November 16. Like Dr. Hayhoe, I'm a climate scientist; like her, I'm a Christian; like her, I care about my neighbors and want to protect them from harm; and like her, and I'm committed to stewardship of God's wonderful creation. Nonetheless, for these very reasons I cannot help questioning some of what she has said about climate change. In announcing the lecture, A Rocha … [Read more...]

Of Journalists and Global Warming
Indirectly through an article sent me by a friend I just came to John Murdock's “Bret Stephens and the Climate Change Center,” the whole of which should be helpful to many people in understanding the “lay of the land” in debates over climate change/global warming. I missed the article back in May when it was published but wish I hadn’t. Murdock is a friendly acquaintance stretching back to shortly after the Cornwall Alliance's founding, an evangelical Christian who disagrees with our position … [Read more...]

Sea-level Rise a Problem? Global Warming to the Rescue!
Oh, this is rich with irony! The Dhaka Tribune, Bangladesh, reports: Every year Himalayan rivers carry an estimated one billion tones of silts and deposit them in the Bay of Bengal off the coast of Bangladesh, forming islands in the shallow waters Dozens of new islands have emerged from the waters around Bangladesh over the last decade, providing a possible solution to the existential threat that rising sea levels pose to the low-lying coastal nation. The government said Monday … [Read more...]
Have Fewer Kids to Fight Climate Change?
Because “having one fewer child reduces one’s contribution to the harms of climate change,” Travis Rieder argues, “everyone on Earth ought to consider having fewer children.” Rieder confesses that “this is an uncomfortable discussion.” He says he’s “certainly not arguing that we should shame parents, or even that we’re obligated to have a certain number of children.” But on his grounds, why shouldn’t we? If he thinks we’re morally obligated to limit our childbearing, shame would seem the … [Read more...]
