Over 35 million children have been aborted worldwide so far this year. Abortion numbers for India are hard to gauge because many don’t get reported, but it’s more than half-a-million babies, and could be as many as seven million. The preference for male children is strong in India, leading to sex selective abortions and significantly fewer female children. This has exacerbated sex-trafficking of women. … [Read more...]

Human-induced Global Warming—A Little, or a Lot?
Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Roy W. Spencer's monthly graph of global lower atmosphere temperature anomaly for March 2017 shows we're still cooling from the super-El Nino that so warmed 2016. Track your eye straight left from the farthest-right point and you'll see that there's little change from the anomalies of roughly 2001--2006, and of course we had significant downs and ups in between. John Christy in his February 2017 Global Temperature Report (go to … [Read more...]
C-SPAN Quotes Beisner on Trump’s Energy Independence Order
Silent Spring: Then and Now
Thoughts on environmental hypocrisy In 1962 Rachel Carson published her book Silent Spring. This is one of the most important science books ever written and is the foundation of the modern environmental movement. Ms. Carson, a scientist employed with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, allegedly initiated her inquiry into the possible adverse effects of insecticides on wildlife (including birds) due to a letter received detailing large bird kills post crop application of such chemicals.

Environmentalists Vow to Fight Trump in the Streets Over Climate Policy
If you pay attention to news sources outside the typical conservative camp, you'll have noticed two things in the last couple days: First the titles are all ridiculous in their alarmism (we are all going to die, etc. etc. etc.).

Trump has rightly asserted that we can have both a relatively clean environment and prosperity, but this falls on deaf ears in the environmental community. His actions are painted as Republican’s desire to harm your children, because a more polluted environment is claimed to be worse for human health and welfare than achieving a cleaner … [Read more...]
Why Does ExxonMobil Want the U.S. to Stay in the Paris Climate Accord?
The Financial Times reports that ExxonMobil "has written to the Trump administration urging it to keep the US in the Paris climate accord ...." Why? The main reason is that staying in the Paris accord offers "the opportunity to support greater use of natural gas, which creates lower carbon dioxide emissions than coal when burnt for power generation." But of course we only need to reduce CO2 emissions if harms arising from them outweigh benefits and benefits of reducing them outweigh harms. … [Read more...]
Trump’s Energy Independence Order: A Boon To America And The Environment
President Trump’s “Executive Order on Energy Independence” will save the American people hundreds of billions of dollars every year that would have been wasted on purely symbolic efforts under former President Obama’s “Clean Power Plan” and other regulations. Former President Barack Obama justified those regulations by claiming they would reduce global warming. But in reality, even according to his Environmental Protection Agency’s calculations, they would achieve no measurable reduction in … [Read more...]
