The world is in the middle of the coronavirus crisis and economies are crashing. No one expects doomsayers to talk about climate change at times like these. But that’s exactly what some people have done. In their relentless pursuit to promote the doomsday agenda, doomsayers inculcate the masses with more misleading information on climate change. Last week, Barack Obama tweeted a LA times news article criticizing the current administration and commented, “We've seen all too terribly … [Read more...]
The Forgotten Benefits of Global Warming
Most discussions of global warming, or “climate change,” proceed on the assumption that warming is bad, and only bad—for people, for animals, and for plants. That assumption is mistaken. While global warming will almost certainly bring some harms to some locations, it will also almost certainly bring some benefits to other locations. Indeed, in some places it will almost certainly bring both harms and benefits. Understanding a very basic element of “greenhouse” warming theory will help us … [Read more...]
Beyond the Blinders: Economic Progress in the Age of Radical Environmentalism
The dominant global narrative is that the world is overpopulated and we are exhausting natural resources. With the ongoing hysteria surrounding climate change, some even go so far as to suggest that human population growth is the cancer of the earth. But what if I told you that these fears are baseless? That innovation and invention are making resources less scarce over time, even as population and resource consumption rise? That our ability to adapt improves as the world … [Read more...]
Fauci-Birx climate models?
Honest, evidence-based climate models could avoid trillions of dollars in policy blunders. by Paul Driessen and David Legates President Trump and his Coronavirus Task Force presented some frightening numbers during their March 31 White House briefing. Based on now 2-week-old data and models, as many as 100,000 Americans at the models’ low end, to 2.2 million at their high end, could die from the fast-spreading virus, they said. However, the President, Vice President Pence, and … [Read more...]
Chemical Dumping, Recycling, and Other Issues: My Response to an Email
I recently received this email, and as I think my response will be edifying to others, I share the email and my response below. Email I glanced through the website, and I was just curious what you thought about the chemical dumping into rivers that caused one river already in US history to be on fire, or the dome of pollution that used to cover LA, the connections between fossil fuel use and lung disease or cancer for people who drive long distances with their window down? I don't have all … [Read more...]
Is Geoengineering Biblical?
One of the most important verses in the Bible for our understanding of humanity’s role on the earth is Genesis 1:28: “And God blessed them. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’” Like most words in most languages, the Hebrew word there translated “earth,” ’erets, has a variety of meanings, depending on its context. … [Read more...]
The Marketing Genius of T. R. Malthus
Thomas Robert Malthus has had a very long run. Issuing his first essay on population in 1798, he has persuaded millions of people that the world is threatened by overpopulation. “The effect of Malthusianism was immediate and dramatic,” writes historian Gertrude Himmelfarb. “For half a century social attitudes and policies were decisively shaped by the new turn of thought.”[1] And the impact continues. Until November I had never read Malthus’s essay.[2] To my surprise, it is a … [Read more...]
Climate-change Opportunists Latch onto Coronavirus
While she didn't get it into the $2.2 trillion bill to stimulate the economy and help businesses survive the nearly nationwide shutdown during the Coronavirus pandemic, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tried to insert tax credits for solar and wind and CO2 emissions standards for airlines as part of her effort to get America to fight global warming. And as Tilak Doshi reports in Forbes, she wasn't the only climate-change opportunist: Across the pond, European Commission … [Read more...]
Coronavirus Highlights Eco-Radicals’ Anti-Human Agenda
For decades, elitist radical environmentalists in academia, politics, and popular culture have vocally longed for a sharp decline in or extinction of the human race, regularly referring to humanity as a “cancer,” “parasite,” or “virus” destroying the planet. Environmental radicals and their pop culture lackeys have embraced human extinction or near-extinction as the ultimate cure for the destruction they believe humans are wreaking upon Mother Earth. For example, Canadian oil baron Maurice … [Read more...]
So, We’ve Rejected Science, Have We?
Occasionally we get hate mail. Here’s a recent example. I know who sent it but will hide his name to protect him. I hope your alliance members have a moment of reckoning. Don’t feel entitled to a vaccine, a ventilator, or the electric power it runs on. Those are the products of the same science that you have rejected and accused of lying and conspiracies.You’ve condemned the best tools we have to fight the pandemic and have misled many in subjects of prime concern to our survival. … [Read more...]
