‘Evangelical Scientists and Academics’ Mistaken in Urging Congress to Act on Climate

By /

  Climatologist Dr. David Legates’s response  to the letter from “evangelical scientists and academics” urging Congress to immediate action to fight global warming by reducing fossil fuel use points out some of its factual inaccuracies and the harms that would be done by acting on its advice. It’s also interesting to look at the letter as

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

By /

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.

Less than Promising: Promised Land Slanders Safe, Reliable, Affordable Energy

By /

Superstar Matt Damon’s latest politically charged movie, Promised Land, promised quite a bit that it didn’t deliver. The hydraulic fracturing that creates a focal point for the plot is of great concern to the Cornwall Alliance. Promised Land centers on a land-lease buyer, Steve Butler (played by Damon), who goes to rural towns and purchases the rights to hydraulically

Standard of Living: The Real Hockey Stick

By /

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

By /
