Is dangerous manmade global warming as certain as that Jesus of Nazareth existed? If you’re a well-informed person with a tolerable knowledge of the overwhelming historical evidence for Jesus’ existence and the enormous and complex controversies over global warming, your answer, after brief reflection, should be easy: No. And if you’re a thinking Christian who recognizes the Bible as the Word of God, your answer should be instant and without hesitation: Definitely no. Shockingly enough, … [Read more...]
BBC Caught Promoting – and Hiding – Bias on Climate
Less than a month ago respected climatologist Dr. Judith Curry took the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to task for intentionally manufacturing a “consensus” on global warming—a no-no in scientific practice. Last week the world learned that the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) manufactured its own consensus on global warming—and used it to justify biased coverage of climate science. In 2006, the BBC convened a panel of “scientific experts” to advise it on climate change. But … [Read more...]
Is Superstorm Sandy a Harbinger of the ‘New Normal’ Because of Global Warming?
[An abridged version of this article appeared in World magazine’s online edition Tuesday, November 6, 2012.] Long before Superstorm Sandy subsided, a new storm arose—an opportunistic attempt to score political points out of a great tragedy, as some people rushed to blame the powerful storm on climate change. Al Gore said, “We must heed this warning and act quickly to solve the climate crisis.” Former Obama administration green jobs czar Van Jones tweeted that Sandy proved Gore “was … [Read more...]
Prayer and Practice in the Wake of Hurricane Sandy
As I write, much of the northeastern United States is reeling from Hurricane Sandy, which brought high winds and warm, moist air from the Caribbean. It joined with a “nor’easter,” which brought cold winds from the east, making a particularly devastating storm. Please join us in prayer for the roughly 50 million people in the area struck by this powerful storm. Pray for their safety, for their comfort as they suffer economic losses and often frightening situations, and especially for comfort … [Read more...]
Science Publisher Calls for Better Communication – But Not of Science
Originally published on WattsUpWithThat.com. Alan Leshner is worried. It seems scientists are having a hard time getting the public to understand science, and since “Public understanding of science … contributes to the extent of support for scientific research,” something must be done. Leshner, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and Executive Publisher of its flagship publication, Science, wrote in a recent editorial, “There is no shortage of topics where … [Read more...]
Sea-Ice Extent: Record High, or Record Low? Depends Which Pole
Albert Einstein once said, “If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn’t be called research, would it?” It’s easy to jump to conclusions when you have little information. Good science doesn’t. Bad science does. Will you help the Cornwall Alliance bring good science to debates over global warming by your generous donation today? One reason our work is so needed is that bad science proliferates about environmental issues— particularly global warming. That’s what’s happened with news about Arctic … [Read more...]
The Climate Skeptic Who Wasn’t
You might have read in the last month that America is dying amid severe drought and unprecedented heat, and the world will flood from Greenland’s repeated bouts of “unprecedented” melting ice. As Mark Twain said, “If you do not read the newspaper you’re uninformed. If you do read the newspaper you’re misinformed.” Such is the case with these stories. In October 2011 Richard Muller announced in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that, based on preliminary measurements from Berkley Earth … [Read more...]
Climate Change: Who Speaks for You?
If you believe global warming is cyclical and mostly natural; human contribution is minor and not dangerous; and attempting to prevent human influence by cuts in carbon-dioxide emissions would cost trillions of dollars, trap billions of people in developing countries in poverty, and so do more harm than good … … then you need to know something and be prepared to act: President Barack Obama has said that “the most important policy he could address in his second term is climate change.” … [Read more...]
“Climate Scientists” and Mainstream Media Team Up Again to Incite Groundless Fears
The mainstream media and global warming alarmists are at it again—confusing weather with climate, appealing to “tipping points,” doing their best to scare the public into the kind of panic that would let politicians commit us to budget-busting, economy-crippling, liberty-destroying policies to fight it. Last week CNN breathlessly reported, “More record warmth as scientists warn of global tipping point.” The article began: It's hot out there. But this time, it's more than idle watercooler talk, … [Read more...]
Recommended Readings on the Global Warming Debate
From time to time the Cornwall Alliance receives requests for recommended readings on the debate over catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming (CAGW). Although it takes considerable time, we always send personal replies to such requests, believing that’s one of the ways we can serve people. If you’re a Cornwall Alliance supporter, this is part of what your donations make possible. If you’re not, we hope you’ll consider becoming one. But it also makes sense to make such recommendations … [Read more...]
