Recently Rev. Mitchell Hescox, CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network, wrote an email to a pastor, who forwarded it to us. It's a prime example of the fallacious (and worse) discourse climate alarmists often use. Here's what Hescox wrote: I pray you will reconsider your stance on climate change. It is apparent, you have been mislead by evil spirits. Climate change science was first published in 1892, the National Academy of Science first told President Johnson about the serious impacts … [Read more...]
Why Did Some U.S. Firms Support Paris Agreement?
Since well before former President Barack Obama signed onto it as an executive agreement (because he knew the Senate wouldn’t ratify it), a number of large American corporations have supported the Paris climate accord. As the time neared when President Donald Trump would announce whether he would keep his campaign promise to withdraw from it, some signed an open letter advising him not to. Many corporations are household names---Adobe, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Facebook, Gap, … [Read more...]
The Gory Facts about Solar vs. Coal Energy Employment
On Fox News Sunday with Mike Wallace June 4, former Vice President Al Gore said solar energy has created jobs 17 times faster than the U.S. economy as a whole. He also pointed out that solar now employs more people than coal. He saw those both as reasons to celebrate. The truth is the opposite. Why? Because solar jobs are a tragic waste of human labor. Gore's right that solar employs more than coal now---roughly twice as many. At the end of 2016, solar employed about 374,000, while … [Read more...]
The Musky smell of crony corporatism
So Elon Musk, gravely disappointed that President Trump has withdrawn the United States from the climate-irrelevant (full implementation throughout the century would reduce global temperature by only 0.17C) but outrageously expensive (full implementation would cost $70 to $140 trillion) Paris climate accord, has quit the President's business advisory council. Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, of course had no special interest in whether the U.S. should stay in Paris. Of course not---not with his … [Read more...]
FULL TEXT: Statement by President Trump on the Paris Climate Accord

Cornwall Alliance Celebrates Withdrawal from Paris Climate Agreement
For Immediate Release Burke, VA, June 1, 2017—President Donald Trump today announced his decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement. “Not only Americans but people all over the world should celebrate,” said Cornwall Alliance Founder and National Spokesman Dr. E. Calvin Beisner. President Trump’s decision took courage in the face of pressure from many world leaders to remain in the agreement. “But it’s the right decision,” Dr. Beisner said. “It’s right because, … [Read more...]
We Owe it to the Poor to Exit the Paris Climate Treaty
The scientific godfather of modern global warming alarmism, James Hansen, has called the Paris Climate Agreement “a fraud really, a fake ... It’s just worthless words.” What Dr. Hansen is referring to is that the agreement is so weak, that it amounts to all pain for no climate gain. So why shouldn’t the U.S. remain in the Agreement, and help make it stronger? Because the more effective it is, the more painful it will be. Right now, the Agreement is just feel-good rhetoric, giving the … [Read more...]
Caution—“Organic” Foods Ahead
The craze for "organic" foods grows apace in America, with otherwise rational people choosing to pay twice as much or more for foods labeled "organic" as for conventional foods. Does that make sense? Not much. Claims that "organic" foods are healthier than non-"organic" have a hard time finding any empirical justification. Claims that "organic" foods are locally sourced and more environmentally friendly, too, fall short. Those interested in learning the problems with the "organic" … [Read more...]
President Trump Should Keep His Promise and Pull Out of Paris Climate Agreement
President Donald Trump attends his first G7 Summit May 26–27. There he will face enormous pressure to break a promise to those who elected him. The promise? To get the United States out of the Paris climate treaty. The pressure? It will come from the head of pretty much every other G7 member. Canadian socialist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will lead. Others will follow. Even United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May … [Read more...]
The BEST Book We’ve Offered for Years—Yours, FREE, for the Month of May!
When I began reading Johnny Wei-Bing Lin’s The Nature of Environmental Stewardship: Understanding Creation Care Solutions to Environmental Problems nearly a year ago, I recognized two things about it almost immediately. First, it was eminently readable—clear, simple, warm, a lot like being involved in a conversation with a dear and longtime friend. Second, it was a work of extraordinary scholarship—characterized by not superficial but deep familiarity with the competing ideas of a wide variety … [Read more...]
