I recently received this email, and as I think my response will be edifying to others, I share the email and my response below.EmailI 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 the … [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 delightful … [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 President Ursula von … [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. You … [Read more...]
Reusable Grocery Bags Can Help Spread Corona Virus, Now Banned in New Hampshire
The Cornwall Alliance has shared information for years about the dangers of reusable bags if you don't wash them. This isn't a new concept; here is an article in USA Today published in 2014 that discusses the germs often found in reusable bags.This issue is something we should all be conscious of as we try to do our part to slow the spread of the coronavirus. This is especially important if you live in places like California where most people use reusable grocery bags. … [Read more...]
What Is ‘Prudent Prudence’ in Response to the Coronavirus?
This is a long article. I hope you’ll read it all anyway. If you’re staying home to help reduce the spread of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19), you may have more time on your hands anyway!I’ve prayed and pondered long and hard what to say about the pandemic, wanting to encourage simultaneously both prudent care and fearless confidence.Unsurprisingly, many in the media and politics exaggerate the danger. Both have strong incentives to do so. The media incite fears to increase audience, which … [Read more...]
Will humanity survive self-hatred?
Most Americans today are focused on how to survive the CoVid 19 coronavirus – the latest in a long line of promised plagues that when the dust had settled took far fewer lives than the panics that accompanied them.Politicians as prominent as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tell us that the future of civilization is at stake from this latest virus, whose kill rate to date is maybe 2 percent of those infected – except for the very elderly and infirm, with many also hit by other influenza and pneumonia … [Read more...]
Does Climate Change Cause More and Bigger Wildfires?
I've been looking into the subject of wildfires and their alleged connection with climate change. In mid-February I looked at Wikipedia's account of the “Camp Fire” that occurred in November 2018 in Paradise, California. Wikipedia, not known for its even-handedness when it comes to matters political, slips in the possibility of climate-change having played a role in that destructive and deadly fire. It identifies a broken power line owned by Pacific Gas and Electric as the igniter and … [Read more...]
