Stella Morabito, writing in the Intercollegiate Review, offers ten great questions by which to detect when you're being targeted by propaganda. They apply, each and every one, to how climate-change alarmists, and environmental alarmists generally, treat anyone who dares question their pronouncements. Here are the questions, but click through to get her valuable discussion of each: Is your natural curiosity being suppressed? Are you being threatened with slurs or labels? Do you feel … [Read more...]
Will Trump Administration Be the Death of Science?
Cornwall Alliance Contributing Writer Anthony Sadar, a Certified Consulting Meteorologist and author of In Global Warming We Trust: Too Big to Fail, published a great piece in The DC Caller today debunking fears of an anti-science mentality taking over the federal Environmental Protection Agency under Donald Trump's administration. Here's the intro: There is a lot of angst in the air over the future of climate science now that the White House is occupied by a president who has referred to the … [Read more...]
Did the Pause End, or Did El Niño Interrupt It?
While reading Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer's "UAH Global Temperature Update for January, 2017: +0.30 deg. C," I happened to notice that the anomaly for the globe as a whole for January 2017 was identical to that of January 2015, at 0.3˚C. Then I eyeballed the anomalies for the intervening months in the table Roy provided and noticed quickly how prominently the effect of the super-El Niño that ran from late 2015 through most of 2016 was. In light of widespread questions … [Read more...]
Godly Dominion vs. Environmentalism
Download the full PDF here. A newspaper reporter once asked me what I thought Biblical environmental stewardship would look like. I responded that, on the basis of Genesis 1:28, which says God blessed Adam and Eve “And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth,’” it would look … [Read more...]
Can the Religious Right—and Left—Be Saved?
The 2016 Presidential election left lots of people on lots of sides (not just two!) bruised and, sad to say, many friendships torn, some perhaps beyond repair but by the grace of God. For both religious political conservatives and religious political liberals---whether evangelicals or mainline Protestants or Roman Catholics or Mormons or Jews---the two leading candidates left more than a little to be desired. This was one of those times when policy and character didn't line up very well for … [Read more...]
Necessity Defense Fails for Enviro-Activist
The Guardian breathlessly reports: A Washington state judge has sparked outrage for remarks questioning the existence of climate change and the role of humans in global warming. During the high-profile trial of Ken Ward, a climate activist facing 30 years in prison for shutting down an oil pipeline, Judge Michael E Rickert said: “I don’t know what everybody’s beliefs are on [climate change], but I know that there’s tremendous controversy over the fact whether it even exists. And even if … [Read more...]
Books I’ve Read, 2016—Favorites and Others
Last year and this, staff members of the Cornwall Alliance have opened windows on our lives by telling a bit about the favorite books we’ve read over the past year. I’m finding that more than a little difficult. How does one pick favorites from a list of 58 books—particularly when one also typically reads five to twenty articles a day, and dips into scores of other books throughout the year? So here I’ll pick just a few of my favorites, and then give you the full list of books I read last … [Read more...]
Seeing Red—New NASA Climate Change Video Uses Questionable “Data” for Colorful Deception
A visitor to Cornwall Alliance's Facebook page recently asked our thoughts on a new video from NASA purporting to demonstrate that global warming is happening rapidly and that there's been no slow-down, let alone "pause," in the last two decades. Among other media, Huffington Post featured the video in an article titled "NASA Climate Change Video Shows Just How Quickly the Earth Is Warming." As is typical, the video uses frightening graphics to communicate numbers that are far less than … [Read more...]
Climate Change, Caring for Creation, and Evangelicals
Last year Mitchell Hescox, CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network, teamed up with television meteorologist Paul Douglas to write Caring for Creation: The Evangelical’s Guide to Climate Change and a Healthy Environment (Bethany House). Their hearts are in the right place, but their understanding of global climate-change science is seriously deficient, and the result could be a cure worse than the disease—especially for the billions of poor around the world. Anthony Sadar, a veteran … [Read more...]
Al Gore Signs Open Letter Supporting Climate Skeptic Scott Pruitt for EPA Administrator
An open letter supporting the nomination of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator organized by The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation has attracted some very famous signers. U.S. Senate Environment & Public Works Committee Chairman Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) introduced the letter into the official record of Pruitt’s confirmation hearing January 18. Probably the highest name recognition worldwide would go to German … [Read more...]
