Can You Really Have Fun Debating Climate Change?

By /

“Unsafe Space,” dedicated to discussing serious issues in comedic fashion, did everyone a real service on January 22. It posted a panel discussion on climate change featuring scientists Jon Christensen (defending the alarmist view) and Willie Soon (defending the skeptics’ view). It’s a good discussion with plenty of give-and-take and at least a modicum of

Forget Climate Change, Defend America!

By /

George Orwell, call your office. In what Huffington Post‘s Alexander Kaufman called “an Orwellian rhetorical shift away from a scientific reality,” the Department of Defense “scrubbed its latest National Defense Strategy of all references to climate change.” In all likelihood, Orwell would call the 30-year campaign for climate alarmism—with all its oxymoronic appeals to “scientific consensus,”

By /

[This article is adapted from its original version on Barbwire.com.] Last year I was at lunch with an evangelist. After the meal, he handed our waitress a Gospel tract.

Should America Subsidize the Coal Industry?

By /

For the record: The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation opposes all subsidies—corporate and individual, at federal, state, and local levels, regardless of their rationale. Not even national security justifies subsidies. If the nation needs bombers or computers or fuel for its security, let it buy them, plain and simple. But let it not

I still think so, and one of the challenges Republicans in Congress should take on is revising bringing those
