C02 reduction regulations and subsidies for “green energy” are destroying the European economy, and the United States is next. But Europe’s waking up. After years of trying to lead the push to go green, it has turned around and begun steep cuts in its climate protection goals. Why? To save member states’ economies. For example, Germany, one of the strongest proponents of environmental regulations in the European Union (EU), has seen energy prices soar, making its prices the highest in Europe. … [Read more...]

Reflections on Climate Change on the Anniversary of Super Storm Sandy
by Neil Frank and E. Calvin Beisner Super Typhoon Haiyan and the anniversary of Superstorm Sandy should remind all of us of the tragic suffering that is part of living in the post-fall world, affected by both human sin and the divine curse (Genesis 3). But is Rev. Darren A. Ferguson, of Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Far Rockaway, NY, whose home and church Sandy destroyed, right to insist that “climate change” made Sandy stronger than it otherwise would have been? Assume for a moment … [Read more...]
Fossil Fuels, Enemy or Friend? Divine Design in the Carbon Cycle
Despite disagreements on some specific questions, I was glad to get acquainted with David Jenkins through his article Are Climate Skeptics Ignoring God's Design? It's always heartening to encounter another admirer of four of my favorite conservative thinkers, Edmund Burke (1729–1797), T.S. Eliot (1888–1965), Richard Weaver (1910–1963), and Russell Kirk (1918–1994)—the last of whom mentored me through my master's degree and introduced me to my wife. It's even more heartening when he shares both … [Read more...]
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 will sustain His environment so that the liberating word of Christ can go forth, [gullible] Christians have put their … [Read more...]
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 is in denial not only does damage to the planet but also to the Christian faith in general. It’s time start [sic] embracing science and to move beyond blind ideology. Presumably some of you … [Read more...]
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 said. "… Rush's uninformed rhetoric is demeaning to Christians who care deeply about what humans are doing to God's Creation and … [Read more...]
How the Media Will Spin the Next IPCC Report – Why the Spin Is Wrong
It is extremely likely that the most oft-cited statement from the “Summary for Policymakers” (SPM) of the forthcoming Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be: It is extremely likely that human influence on climate caused more than half of the increase in global average surface temperature from 1951–2010. Mainstream media and global warming enthusiasts will latch onto that. With little or no awareness of either its textual or its historical … [Read more...]
Flipping Out Over the Solar Flip?
Nowadays it seems we’re trained to be afraid. Reports that the sun’s magnetic field is flipping have caused not a few ripples of excitement. Some popular media report responsibly. Others play on fears, claiming that the magnetic field’s reversal means we’re in for some stormy weather. The good news? We’re not doomed. At just shy of 100 million miles away, our solar dance partner might seem too distant for relatively small events within it to have much impact on the earth. But the sun … [Read more...]
