Certain politicians are known for their proclivity for being hypocritical. An infiltration of this hypocrisy into climate change governance was all but inevitable when the global efforts to understand climate change morphed into a pseudo-scientific political movement.Unlike the scaremongering that dominates our headlines, most of these hypocritical lifestyles of the elitists never make the headlines on popular mainstream news media.When was the last time CNN, BBC or the Guardian—outlets that … [Read more...]
A Challenge to Evangelical Climate Scientist Katharine Hayhoe
Late last year someone sent me a link to Dr. Katharine Hayhoe’s column “I’m a Climate Scientist Who Believes in God. Hear Me Out.” It was published in the New York Times October 31, 2019.Dr. Hayhoe’s Ph.D. is in atmospheric science. But she teaches in the political science department at Texas Tech University. She criticizes evangelicals who disagree with her about the causes, magnitude, consequences, and appropriate responses to climate change, aka global warming.Hayhoe Malignly … [Read more...]
Foundational Principles of Biblical Earth Stewardship
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. All creation belongs to Him (Genesis 1:1; Psalm 24:1).Though God reveals Himself in creation, the Bible, and His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, He is distinct from and transcendent over creation (Romans 1:25). Those who deny the Creator/creature distinction become futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts are darkened (Romans 1:21).God made man, male and female, in His own image (Genesis 1:26–27). No other terrestrial life form … [Read more...]
A Potpourri of Recent Developments in the Climate Wars
Things pile up. The number of tabs open in my browser grows and grows. I mean to write separate articles on most of them. But time flies, I'm focused on urgent matters, and before you know it, things grow old. And my computer slows down!So rather than ignore these completely, here are quick comments on a variety of issues.Very big news: the federal Environmental Protection Agency announced its replacement for the power-grabbing, anti-federalist "Waters of the United States" rule promulgated by … [Read more...]
Is U.S. Bound by UN Human Rights Committee Ruling on Climate Refugees?
The United Nations' Human Rights Committee (HRC) ruled January 21 that "countries cannot deport people who have sought asylum due to climate-related threats."The ruling came in a case brought in 2015 by a Ioane Teitota, who sought asylum in New Zealand as a "climate refugee."The HRC didn't rule that New Zealand's refusal to admit Teitota as a refugee violated his "right to life," but it did rule that "people seeking asylum are not required to prove that they would face immediate harm, if … [Read more...]
Finally Polar Bears Go Extinct—As an Icon of Climate Change-driven Extinction!
You've seen the claims all over the place. "Polar bears are going extinct because manmade global warming robs them of the sea-ice habitat they depend on to hunt for food!" Or some such verbiage.Well, it's about time the crybabies on the radical Green Left abandoned that charge.As Dr. Jay Lehr points out in "Polar bears: The end of a climate delusion icon," there never was any empirical basis for the claim. It rested on computer models alone---models that assumed counterfactual circumstances to … [Read more...]
Californians Turn a Cold Shoulder on Bill Requiring Climate-Change Education
A bill introduced in the California Assembly January 13 would require students to study the causes and effects of climate change in grades 1-6. It would also make the subject a requirement for high-school graduation.When I read the news, I first thought, “What’s surprising? Climate alarmists have long since taken over California.”But it looks like ordinary Californians aren’t going to be so easily led. Comments on the news story at CBS Sacramento were overwhelmingly … [Read more...]
A Burning Golden Globe: Climate Hypocrisy Unraveled in Style
By now practically everybody’s heard how Ricky Gervais roasted celebrities at the 2020 Golden Globe awards. To say he called them out as hypocrites would be putting it mildly.Among his illustrious critical remarks were some about climate-change hypocrisy that celebrities display every year.What’s so special about that? Well, right-wing media and climate realists often point out the vast gap between what celebrities preach and what they do. But no one hosting an Oscar or Golden Globes … [Read more...]
Are Australia Bushfires Worsening from Human-Caused Climate Change?
Summary Points1) Global wildfire activity has decreased in recent decades, making any localized increase (or decrease) in wildfire activity difficult to attribute to ‘global climate change’.2) Like California, Australia is prone to bushfires every year during the dry season. Ample fuel and dry weather exists for devastating fires each year, even without excessive heat or drought, as illustrated by the record number of hectares burned (over 100 million) during 1974-75 when above-average … [Read more...]
Record Heat and Cold Expose Climate Alarmists’ Bias
Australia was literally on fire in December. Record heat made headlines in global media. So did the extreme rainfall in east Africa. You and everybody else on earth can guess what climate alarmists blamed for both: man-made global warming, a.k.a. climate change. But record cold in northern India at the same time didn’t make headlines in any major media in the United States or the United Kingdom. Why? Because it didn’t fit expectations.It’s a perfect example of climate alarmists’ obvious bias … [Read more...]
