Can Faith and Science Cooperate? A Meteorologist Appeals to Scripture About Global Warming

Recently Certified Consulting Meteorologist Anthony J. Sadar, a Contributing Writer for the Cornwall Alliance, committed an unpardonable sin for scientists: he appealed to the Bible as support for his understanding about manmade global warming. Yes, he gave some evidence from temperature measurements, too, but his primary argument was this: … rather than having faith that God […]

Critic: Cornwall Alliance Is “in Denial” about Climate Change and Lacks Credibility

Every once in a while we get unfriendly emails. This one came last week: I am very disappointed to see such a lack of credibility relating to climate change in your organization. It is arguably the single biggest threat to the planet and to dealing with the issue of poverty. The fact that your organization

God, Rush, and Global Warming

Recently on his nationwide talk show, host Rush Limbaugh said, “If you believe in God, then intellectually you cannot believe in manmade global warming.” Two evangelical climate scientists took him to task in The Christian Post. “Rush Limbaugh doesn’t think we exist. In other words that evangelical scientists cannot subscribe to the evidence of global warming,” they

Cornwall Senior Fellow Blasts Global Warming Alarmism in Senate Hearing

Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy Spencer testified July 18 before the Senate Subcommittee on Environment and Public Works in a hearing on global warming. “The lack of statistically significant warming in the last 15 years,” Spencer told the committee via his written testimony, “… is sometimes glossed over with the claim that the global temperature

Does Caring for “the Least of These” Demand Fighting Global Warming?

Recently, my fellow evangelical scientists and academics sent a letter to the United States Congress urging immediate legislation on climate change. In an effort to care for the planet—God’s second greatest gift to humanity—they argue that our uncontrolled use of fossil fuels will disproportionately affect the poor, the vulnerable, and the oppressed. I applaud their concern for

Is Fighting Global Warming the Solution to Water Shortages in Malawi (or Elsewhere)?

In late May two evangelical environmentalists, recently returned from visiting Malawi, published articles in which they said poor Malawians are suffering from reduced rainfall caused by manmade global warming. Jonathan Merritt wrote for Religion News Service, “In America, climate change is a matter of debate, but in places like Malawi, it’s a matter of life and

Standard of Living: The Real Hockey Stick

The long-debunked Hockey Stick graph depicts global average temperature as rapidly increasing since the 1950s along with CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. It is alarming if you are unaware of the statistical follies employed: confirmation bias (excluding contrary data) and the choice of a bogus principal components method that will generate a hockey stick even from random

Four Bombshells in Next IPCC Report Undermine the Case for CAGW

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) boldly declared in its Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) in 2007, “Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures [GAT] since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas [GHG] concentrations.” That conclusion rested in no small measure on another conclusion: variations
