Dear Media: We Don’t Have to Agree to Have Intelligent, Friendly, Discourse

By /

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

After all the hype by media, politicians, entertainers, alarmist climate scientists, and even a Nobel Peace Prize-winning former Vice President, only 28% of Americans think climate scientists understand the causes of climate change “very well.” That’s one finding of a Pew Research Study on which Scott Rasmussen reports in his #Number

Do America’s Science Teachers and Students Need a Ministry of Truth?

By /

Four liberal Democratic Senators—Sheldon Whitehouse (RI), Elizabeth Warren (MA), Brian Schatz (HI), and Edward Markey (MA)—are upset because Education Secretary Betsy DeVos called President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement an “example of his commitment to rolling back the unrealistic and overreaching regulatory actions by the previous Administration.” Thank heavens!

“It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”—Yogi Berra

By /

In his 1968 book The Population Bomb Paul Ehrlich predicted mass famines in America and lots of other countries around the world before 1980, and that we would run out of lots of minerals by then, too. His predictions turned out false. He remains the idol of environmentalists worldwide. In 2007 Al Gore predicted, ““The North Polar

A step toward restoring civility to climate-change debates?

By /

For years people like Al Gore, Robert Kennedy Jr., John Cook, and others have labeled those who question one or another aspect of the case for belief in dangerous human-induced climate change as “science deniers,” “climate deniers,” “environmental criminals,” and worse. Such rhetoric is far from helpful not only because it demonizes, making respectful dialogue difficult
