Dr. Beisner’s Remarks at Press Conference in Rome April 27

Having read some 50 books on the science and over 30 on the economics of climate policy, plus thousands of articles, including hundreds of peer-reviewed ones, I could talk on those topics. I could point out that computer climate models on average simulate twice as much warming as observed over the relevant period, and none […]

Update on Trip to Rome Italy from Dr. E. Calvin Beisner

Today I’ll be among 8 scholars speaking for a press conference in Rome to bring balance to a global warming alarmist biased conference at the Vatican tomorrow. We have outstanding climate scientists who can explain what’s wrong with IPPC “science.” My basic message? Policies to fight AGW will condemn the world’s poor to more generations

Hollywood and the Environmentalist Movement: Eco-Fanatic Movies Have a Mixed History at the Box Office

Like other misguided ideologues, some in Hollywood have adopted the environmentalist or ecology movement to support their efforts to support big government. Their efforts paid off in 2006 and 2007 when Al Gore’s factually challenged, hysterical rallying cry for global warming, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, earned a fair amount of money, at least for a documentary,

For Three Billion People, Coal Looks Pretty Good

Ask a typical college student about “environmentally friendly” energy sources, and the student will usually respond with comments on wind energy, solar energy, or at least “renewable fuels.” Coal would never make the list. But as an economist, I’m always teaching students about trade-offs. There is no energy source that is costless, either financially or

My Sister and I

When we were kids my sister and I were best friends, inseparable even. Something changed during adulthood and we ventured down separate paths. I’m a rock ribbed conservative, she’s just as firmly entrenched in political liberalism. I’m a fundamentalist evangelical (in the classic meaning of those terms) and sis leans a little new age. Perhaps

Why Biblical Worldview and Sound Science Generate Skepticism about Manmade Global Warming

In 1 Thessalonians 5:21, the Apostle Paul tells us to “test all things, hold fast what is good.” That, among other things (such as belief that a rational God designed the ordered world to be understood and ruled by rational human beings made in His image), is the Biblical basis for modern science, which arose

Does INTERSTELLAR Have an Environmentalist Agenda? Director Christopher Nolan Clears the Air

Just released on DVD, Writer/Director Christopher Nolan’s most recent science fiction adventure, INTERSTELLAR, caused many people to wonder if the movie is going to be merely another hysterical left-wing, politically correct warning of man-made global warning, another fear-induced reason for Americans to buy more hybrid cars. INTERSTELLAR is set on an ecologically devastated earth about

The Great Pause Lengthens to 18 Years 4 Months

There’s been essentially zero trend, calculated by the least squares regression method (the most relevant), in global average temperature as measured by the satellites, in 18 years 4 months. None of the computer climate models came even remotely close to simulating this. Consequently they’re wrong. Since they’re wrong, they leave no rational basis to fear
