Solar Impulse: Poster Child for the Impracticality of Solar Power

Solar energy has some legitimate uses in isolated cases, such as providing electricity where there is no other source available, and when you need it so badly you are willing to pay a premium, say, for use on your sailboat. But the inherent physics limitation to solar energy is that it is so diffuse (so […]

Climate Science, Energy Policy, Poverty, and Christian Faith: How do they Connect?

(Editors Note: Click graphs to enlarge) In the March 16, 2016, issue of Forbes astrophysicist Ethan Siegel’s article “The Next Great Global Warming ‘Hiatus’ is Coming!” sought to refute skeptics of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) by arguing that the apparent lack of statistically significant global warming over roughly the last 18 or 19 years

Sin, Deception, and the Corruption of Science: A Look at the So-Called Climate Crisis

Summary The climate crisis agenda provides an excellent training opportunity for Christians to “test all things, hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21) because it involves a revival of ancient pagan themes in science, the educational establishment, business, and politics. Sadly, it demonstrates how those themes are corrupting the scientific method that has contributed

Open Letter to Attorneys General about Climate Change

Dear Attorneys General, You’re not stupid. Stupid people don’t graduate from law school. Neither are you generally ignorant. You know lots of law. But the day of the “Renaissance man,” vastly learned across all fields of knowledge, is long gone. All intelligent and learned people are ignorant about some things.

How Economically Competitive is “Renewable Energy”?

Condemnation’s always most credible when issued by a supporter. That’s what the renewable energy sector got from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s U.S. Renewable Portfolio Standards 2016 Annual Status Report, which states right in its highlights: “More than half of all growth in renewable electricity (RE) generation (60%) and capacity (57%) since 2000 is associated with

Why Was March 2016 the Warmest March in the Satellite Record?

UAH Principal Research Scientist and Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer just posted the monthly UAH satellite temperature update on his blog, and on global average, last month was the warmest March since satellite monitoring began in 1979. Predictably, climate scaremongers are hailing this as proof positive that our evil emissions of evil

97% Consensus of Unqualified Scientists Isn’t Worth Much

Roy Spencer just published an excellent article bursting the “97% consensus” balloon. Here’s an excerpt: The 97 percent number comes from a 2013 paper that was published by John Cook in Environmental Research Letters and that claimed to review about 12,000 published scientific papers on global warming and climate change. Now, for those of us
