Is this the End of the Beginning, or the Beginning of the End? On November 10, 1942, after British and Commonwealth forces defeated the Germans and Italians at the Second Battle of El Alamein, taking nearly 30,000 prisoners, Winston Churchill told the British Parliament, “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” In The Hinge of Fate, volume 3 of his marvelous 6-volume history of World War II, published eight years later, he … [Read more...]

The Hazards of Lending Books on Climate Change
Today my good friend Dr. Tom Sheahen, a physicist and head of the Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology (ITEST), wrote to say, Already this morning a friend sent me the "Patriot Post" rendition of your article ["Senator Whitehouse, Your New Wardrobe Is Ready"] that quotes me at length. Thank you very much. The "sackcloth and ashes" wardrobe line was really clever. I didn't see that coming at all. I just wish some members of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church would … [Read more...]
Senator Whitehouse, Your New Wardrobe Is Ready
One of the things I most appreciate about Joe Bastardi's book The Climate Chronicles: Inconvenient Revelations You Won't Hear from Al Gore---And Others is the long historical perspective he brings. Again and again he quotes alarmists about manmade global warming claiming that this or that event, or this or that series of events, or this or that period in this or that place, is "unprecedented" and therefore obviously due to human-induced warming---and then he opens up the history records and … [Read more...]
Why You MUST Read Joe Bastardi’s The Climate Chronicles
The 38th through 41st chapters of the Book of Job are among the most majestic, awe-inspiring passages in all literature, inside and outside the Bible. I cannot read them and not feel small, humbled by the omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience of God. They record questions God hurls rapid-fire, “out of the whirlwind,” at Job to impress on him his utter inability to control or even to explain the day-to-day events of the world. Here are a few, from Job 38:4–20: Where were you when I laid … [Read more...]
Great Victory for Freedom of Debate and Integrity of Science—Canadian Court Vindicates Climate Skeptic Timothy Ball
Dr. Timothy Ball, a climatologist and former professor at University of Winnipeg and outspoken critic of climate alarmism, won a huge victory in a Canadian court yesterday. As longtime friends of Tim's and admirers of his courageous work for the cause of truth and climate sanity, we at the Cornwall Alliance congratulate him. His son reported to Anthony Watts of WattsUpWithThat.com yesterday, "This morning the judge dismissed all charges in the lawsuit brought against Tim by BC Green Party … [Read more...]
Nuclear Engineer Reveals “Climate Consensus” as Anti-Scientific
Over at the American Nuclear Society's ANS Cafe blog, ANS Fellow and Adjunct Professor of Nuclear Engineering Dr. Ruth Weiner exposes the anti-scientific character of appealing to consensus to push climate alarmism: Scientific thought progresses as a result of skepticism about a consensus rather than by invocation of that consensus. The fallacy of the 97 percent is not that it was the wrong number or that the subject group was improperly identified, but that the phenomenon – that atmospheric … [Read more...]
Global Warming Believers, Take Note: Real Science Doesn’t Shy from Challenges
Guest blog by Mark Landsbaum, reprinted from Barbwire.com with permission Somewhere online yours truly posted a comment about global warming that stirred one of the faithful. Faithful global warming believer, that is. The true believer sent me an email that demanded: Please don’t ever write about a subject you are so hopelessly uneducated in ever again, and if you do, do the courtesy to your unfortunate reader of providing sources. For the umpteenth time I had been shouted down by one of … [Read more...]

Dear Media: We Don’t Have to Agree to Have Intelligent, Friendly, Discourse
If you search the Web for my name and Cornwall Alliance, you’ll see that we’ve been the target of vicious attacks over the years, including several just in the past couple of months. They’re built on fallacies like guilt by association, post hoc, ad hominem abusive, ad hominem circumstantial, straw man, hasty generalization, and more, and thoroughly misrepresent our position and our reasons for it. (Ah, but who cares about logic nowadays? They don’t teach it much in school anymore.) That … [Read more...]
