Polar bear expert Susan Crockford explodes the myth that global warming threatens polar bears in a new video from the Global Warming Policy Foundation. The numbers tell the story: global polar bear population has risen to over 30,000 despite decline in summer Arctic sea ice extent. … [Read more...]
Judith Curry confirms: climate models can’t justify policy—ANY policy
For years we at the Cornwall Alliance have been saying that the disagreement between model predictions (or projections or simulations, call them what you will) of global temperatures and real-world observations means the models are invalidated and therefore provide no rational basis for predictions of future temperature and therefore no rational basis for policies meant to respond to such predictions. Now one of the world's leading climatologists, recently retired Professor Judith Curry, Chair … [Read more...]
What’s Wrong with a “Carbon” Tax?
James Baker, chief of staff to Ronald Reagan and secretary of state under George H.W. Bush, and George Schultz, secretary of state under Reagan, have endorsed a "carbon" tax plan that is just plain wrong from the git-go. Stephen Moore explains why in "The Carbon-Tax Scam," but here's the gist: Even if it succeeded in ending all United States carbon-dioxide emissions (and it's only designed to reduce, not end, them), it would fail to accomplish the end used as its justification: … [Read more...]
Caring for Creation: A Book of Good Intentions but Poor Science
As an evangelical Christian, I believe we should be good stewards of God’s planet. We should strive to reduce pollution to protect human health and the natural environment. We should explore new alternative energy sources, always seeking to maximize benefits and minimize harms. We should prioritize providing electricity for the 1.2 billion people who don’t have it—and consequently suffer high rates of disease and premature death. For these and many other reasons I applaud Mitch Hescox and … [Read more...]
Has NOAA’s “Pausebuster” Been Busted?
“The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.”—Proverbs 18:17 Major news outlets and the climate change-focused blogosphere erupted over the last few days with the The Daily Mail’s publication February 4 of David Rose’s “Exposed: How world leaders were duped into investing billions over manipulated global warming data.” Rose reported serious data mishandling behind a study published in Science (Karl et al.) in 2015 by NOAA’s Tom Karl, Thomas … [Read more...]
Sierra Club pushing abortion as population control to ‘save the environment’
FOX News host Tucker Carlson interviewed the Sierra Club’s Executive Director, Michael Brune, on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Feb 2, 2017. Carlson, a former Sierra Club member himself, dove right into asking Brune the tough questions. Puzzled by some of the Sierra Club’s recent position statements on such varied topics as President Trump’s border wall, the women’s march, abortion, and transgender bathrooms, Carlson asked Mr. Brune why the Sierra Club was veering away from protecting the … [Read more...]
Will Trump Administration Be the Death of Science?
Cornwall Alliance Contributing Writer Anthony Sadar, a Certified Consulting Meteorologist and author of In Global Warming We Trust: Too Big to Fail, published a great piece in The DC Caller today debunking fears of an anti-science mentality taking over the federal Environmental Protection Agency under Donald Trump's administration. Here's the intro: There is a lot of angst in the air over the future of climate science now that the White House is occupied by a president who has referred to the … [Read more...]
Godly Dominion vs. Environmentalism
Download the full PDF here. A newspaper reporter once asked me what I thought Biblical environmental stewardship would look like. I responded that, on the basis of Genesis 1:28, which says God blessed Adam and Eve “And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth,’” it would look … [Read more...]
Climate Change, Caring for Creation, and Evangelicals
Last year Mitchell Hescox, CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network, teamed up with television meteorologist Paul Douglas to write Caring for Creation: The Evangelical’s Guide to Climate Change and a Healthy Environment (Bethany House). Their hearts are in the right place, but their understanding of global climate-change science is seriously deficient, and the result could be a cure worse than the disease—especially for the billions of poor around the world. Anthony Sadar, a veteran … [Read more...]
The Trump Climate Dump: Why It Doesn’t Matter if Even 100% of Scientists Agree on Global Warming
Given current technologies, it makes no sense to destroy $100 Trillion in wealth this century for an unmeasurable reduction in warming. The more efficiently we can do those things, the greater humanity prospers. Affordable energy is part of that efficiency. Everything humans do requires energy. Everything. But when human prosperity suffers, people die. So, can it really be called “anti-science” that the moment Trump was inaugurated, the White House deleted all references to climate … [Read more...]
