Our Father in Heaven, You are our Creator and Redeemer. We come to you with thanksgiving for our salvation and for the glories of your creation displayed all around us. We come confessing our sinfulness, and pray your forgiveness through the work of Christ. We thank you our Father today for that wonderful covenant made with Noah. Through it you have blessed your creation and it has been of much comfort to us for it is a reminder of our Father in Heaven who cares for his people. And so … [Read more...]
How Can You Help Us Pray for the Environment and the Poor March 1–25?
As you may remember, last year the Cornwall Alliance hosted its first Day of Prayer for the Environment and the Poor. Many friends wrote prayers, and those were great guides for others to pray on that day! Many also committed to pray at specific times on March 25. We’re hosting our second annual Day of Prayer, again on March 25—the birthday of Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug (about whom more below). We’d love for you to participate by writing prayers and reflections on issues related … [Read more...]
A Global Warming Lesson from Zimbabwe
Robert Mugabe, the sempiternal dictator of Zimbabwe since 1980, has been an international pariah for some time. But could global warming thaw his frayed and frosty relationships with world leaders? When Mugabe first came to power in 1980 he was fêted in the West. His accession was not praised by all Zimbabweans, notably the Whites and the Ndebele, who were not keen on Mugabe’s efforts to turn the nation into a one-party state. Mugabe formed a military unit to deal with malcontents, trained … [Read more...]
Stop calling me a ‘denier’: Debating science is honorable, not evil
We’ve all read the articles, and heard the voice of doom about “mother earth.” The earth is going to get really hot, it’s all humans fault, and we must make drastic changes to fix our mistakes. Those who disagree with this viewpoint are termed “Climate Deniers,” an insult intended to bring about the specter of Holocaust denial. The fact that this particular insult makes no sense, since it’s impossible to “deny” climate doesn’t seem to matter. What do climate alarmists and climate skeptics … [Read more...]
Why are Young Americans Flocking to Bernie?
Of course young people like Bernie! He promises them free college, free health care—free, free, free. But why don’t these young people understand TANSTAAFL (“There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”)? I’ll tell you. Their mistake is perfectly understandable. For eighteen, twenty, maybe twenty-five years or more practically all they’ve consumed has been free to them. Their parents have fed them, clothed them, housed them, medicated them, transported them, entertained them, educated … [Read more...]
Using GPS Satellites to Measure Global Temperature
Interesting new research indicates that ... global temperature over the lower atmosphere — using the series of GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites — can be obtained by accurately by measuring the propagation of radio waves through the atmosphere. The importance of this new method is that a near-complete coverage of the Earth is afforded and that global atmospheric temperature can be determined without requiring any complex satellite inter-calibration. Only the precise atomic clock is … [Read more...]
Those Greedy Climate Deniers!
Can't help chuckling as the chickens come home to roost for the nattering nabobs of climate correctness. They've been telling everybody for over a decade that "the science is settled," "there is no debate": Human emissions of CO2 are driving catastrophic global warming and we must, absolutely must, drastically curtail emissions to save humanity and even planet Earth itself! Well, if that's so, why continue spending $Billions on research related to that settled question? I mean, we're not … [Read more...]
Justice Antonin Scalia, 1936-2015
Justice Antonin Scalia, a champion of originalist Constitutional interpretation and one of the most brilliant justices in the history of the Supreme Court, died today. His strict adherence to the text of the Constitution made him the champion of every friend of liberty and the opponent of every attempt by government to exceed its Constitutional limits. One of his most recent opinions for the majority related to Cornwall Alliance's core concerns came in Michigan v. EPA last summer, in which the … [Read more...]
Keating’s Bogus Challenge to CAGW Skeptics
Today a friend on Facebook sent me a link to an article about Christopher Keating, a climate activist for 30 years and a former tenure-track assistant professor of physics at the University of South Dakota, who in 2014 offered $10,000 to anyone who can use the scientific method to disprove anthropogenic climate change and $1,000 to the first person to provide scientific evidence of any kind that climate change is not real. "What's the deal?" my friend asked. Well, here's Keating's offer: I … [Read more...]
Christy Defends Satellite Temperature Data
Dr. John R. Christy (Ph.D., Meteorology), Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science, Alabama State Climatologist, Director of the Earth System Science Center at The University of Alabama in Huntsville, former Lead Author, Contributing Author, and Reviewer of United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments, recipient of NASA’s Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement, and a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (all that just to shame the climate alarmists … [Read more...]
