Four-part Series: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4 Burke, VA, July 9, 2015 I’m writing to you about a very serious matter, so I beg for your patience as I explain it. Rest assured from the start, though, that I’m not asking you for money. I’m privileged to coordinate a network of about 60 evangelical scholars—roughly a third theologians, a third natural scientists, and a third economists and policy experts—all dedicated to applying excellent theology, ethics, science, and economics to public … [Read more...]
5 Questions That Expose the Errors of Climate Alarmism
Many people are asking us for questions they can raise at various public meetings—at churches, schools, universities, community organizations, etc.—to expose the errors of climate alarmism. Here are five: 1. Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman once said the “key to science” was realizing that if your theory about how the world works yielded predictions contradicted by observations, your theory was wrong. Since the only basis for fears of dangerous, manmade global warming … [Read more...]
Why ISIS Should Support COP21 in Paris…
After the horrific terror attacks in Paris Friday night, there is considerable speculation over the possible cancellation of the COP21 climate talks in Paris in a couple of weeks. I will remind you that President Obama has stated that the threat of climate change is greater than the threat of terrorism. I will also remind you that many believe that ISIS would not have arisen if not for climate change, specifically, drought in Syria caused by your SUV. It is only logical that ISIS should be … [Read more...]
Models vs. Observations: Plotting a Conspiracy?
John Christy and I received an email today from Marcel Crok, who presented our satellite observations-vs-models graphs to the Dutch version of the American Physical Society (APS). He said there was considerable push-back about the way we plot the data…not from the society itself, but from global warming activist bloggers. I’ve heard these objections before, and mostly ignored them as uninformed and lame, since I’ve never heard one from an actual climate scientist. But apparently it’s … [Read more...]
Georgetown University Climate Symposium Includes Prominent Neopagan Speaker
Wish I’d heard of Georgetown University Berkley Center’s “Symposium on Religion and Climate Change“ earlier. Perhaps Cornwall Alliance could have had someone there to offer a contrasting perspective---something most meetings seem rather loathe to entertain. Alas, I only learned of it about an hour before it was to begin. Aside from the usual problem of such conferences having scientific blinders on, assiduously avoiding the need to interact with the serious scientific objections to climate … [Read more...]
Juicy Ecumenism Blog: Cornwall Alliance Releases Environmental Documentary
This is an interesting and detailed article by Juicy Ecumenism’s Muriel Truax. On October 21th, the Cornwall Alliance premiered a new documentary film, Where the Grass is Greener: Biblical Stewardship vs. Climate Alarmism, at the Heritage Foundation. The Cornwall Alliance is a network of theologians, scientists, economists, and other scholars committed to promoting stewardship of the earth from a Christian perspective. The film premiere was hosted by Becky Norton Dunlap, vice president of the … [Read more...]
How does Climate Alarmism Drive Human Trafficking?
Some climate alarmists believe global warming leads to more human trafficking. The truth is quite different. To prevent what they believe is dangerous manmade global warming, climate alarmists want to reduce CO2 emissions. This requires reducing fossil fuel consumption, which can be achieved partly by reducing consumption per person, but also by reducing the number of persons consuming. That requires reducing population growth and eventually population itself. This becomes a rationale for … [Read more...]
California’s Fish and Wildlife Commission Vs The Environment
If I were to ask you, “In your opinion, what state in the continental U.S. best exemplifies a desire to care and preserve the environment on a sustainable level?” How would you answer? Note, I am not asking what state has the best environment as that could be simply a reflection of its population. It’s hard to have pollution when you have few people. Nor am I asking what state you would like to live in. I am asking what state works the hardest on protecting the environment from the perspective … [Read more...]
One Small Step toward Reining in the EPA
A Cincinnati-based federal court recently put a hold on the federal EPA's controversial "Waters of the United States" rule that would have put farm ponds, drainage ditches, and similar waters, by no means navigable, under its rule, constituting a huge expansion of EPA authority at the expense of states' sovereignty and property owners' rights. As Larry Bell writes, Applying EPA’s interpretation, the agency defines waters of the United States so broadly that they could regulate virtually any wet … [Read more...]
China’s One-Child Policy Ends—Time for a Little (Yes, Little) Celebration
The Communist Chinese government's Xinhua news agency announced today that the government is abolishing that country's one-child policy. The policy, which Susan Yoshihara, senior vice president for research at the Center for Family & Human Rights and co-editor of Population Decline and the Remaking of Great Power Politics has called "the world's worst law," "resulted in more murders than any other law in history," according to Yoshihara---over 13 million abortions per year in China, many of … [Read more...]
