Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist, professor of political science, and director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University. Like many climate scientists, she thinks human activity is causing dangerously rapid global warming and that we ought to take expensive steps to stop it. She also identifies as an evangelical, and that’s why […]

For over a decade, evangelicals have been the most skeptical subset of the American population about claims of catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming (CAGW). Don’t count on their staying that way. Recently Physics World reported on an experiment conducted at three evangelical colleges to see how students’ views about global warming/climate change would shift if they

Three years ago, YaleEnvironment360, published by the reliably climate-alarmist Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, ran “Abrupt Sea Level Rise Looms As Increasingly Realistic Threat,” by Nicola Jones, a freelance journalist specializing in chemistry and oceanography. The article followed the standard formula of warnings about climate change and its catastrophic consequences: present a scary

Two years ago, evangelical environmental law professor John Murdock wrote in First Things that in 2012 former Evangelical Environmental Network head Jim Ball, author of Global Warming and the Risen Lord, “speaking at the World Wildlife Fund in D.C., [proclaimed] it a ‘fool’s errand’ to try to reach the right side of the evangelical spectrum”

But temperatures this year have been largely normal and, in some places, continue to be below average. Here’s a look at the first five months of the year, especially May, and what they mean

For many of us Millennials, especially in densely populated developing countries like India and China, it was a no-brainer. Population growth was the world’s biggest problem. At least, so we learned in our schools. But as we grew into our 20s, the focus of the world turned more toward climate change. Was population growth really

When empirical data show so clearly that computer climate models grossly exaggerate the warming effect of carbon dioxide, how do climate alarmists maintain public alarm? Tricks. Among the more famous was “Mike’s Nature trick.” University of East Anglia climate scientist Phil Jones wrote that he had used “Mike’s Nature trick” of “adding in the real

A Cornwall Alliance follower on Facebook wrote, I remember hearing someone reputable say once that the known historical record actually shows increases in CO2 after periods of warming, rather than before them. I believe might have been referencing ice core records among others. I found him persuasive, and if this is true, it seems it

Some people wonder, “Why is global warming happening down/up there at the poles if it is because of man? There aren’t too many of people living there to cause any problem.” Good, common-sense question. But there’s actually a solid answer to it that suits both alarmists and skeptics about anthropogenic global warming. Local anthropogenic warming,

I have little but respect and admiration for Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swede who has launched a worldwide movement of students on strike from school to protest anthropogenic climate change. I think she’s mistaken, and I’m inclined to agree with British climate scientist Piers Corbyn that she’s being manipulated, but she seems sincere in her
