Earlier this week someone sent me a link to Katharine Hayhoe's column "I'm a Climate Scientist Who Believes in God. Hear Me Out," published in the New York Times October 31. In it Hayhoe, whose Ph.D. is in atmospheric science but who teaches in the political science department at Texas Tech University, criticizes the thinking of fellow evangelicals who disagree with her about the causes, magnitude, consequences, and appropriate responses to climate change/global warming. Referring to … [Read more...]
What about geoengineering?
Recently someone wrote asking, " How does geoengineering factor in with your Climate Change beliefs?" The Cornwall Alliance as a body hasn’t addressed this question, so what I say here is solely my own thinking. The answer depends heavily on what one means by geoengineering. Humankind has been engineering the earth in many ways, small and large, for thousands of years: building dams, felling forests, planting crops, digging canals and aqueducts, draining swamps, irrigating deserts, … [Read more...]
Pompeo Announces U.S. Withdrawal from Paris Climate Agreement!
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced yesterday that the United States has given official notice of its withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement. The Cornwall Alliance has advocated for this ever since President Donald Trump took office and considers it a great win for common sense, good science, good economics, and good politics. Full implementation of the Paris agreement through the end of the century would cost $70 to $140 trillion and would reduce global average surface … [Read more...]
The Giga and Terra Scam of Offshore Wind Energy
Can anti-fossil fuel policies based on climate crisis alarmism possibly get any more insane than this? In what might be described as a pre-Halloween trick of ginormous proportions, the International Energy Agency (IEA) now asserts that “renewable, sustainable” energy output will explode over the next two decades. Certainly for onshore wind and solar energy – but especially for offshore wind, says the IEA. “Offshore wind currently provides just 0.3% of global power generation,” IEA … [Read more...]
Climategate: Ten years later
This month marks the tenth anniversary of “Climategate” – the release of thousands of emails to and from climate scientists who had been (and still are) collaborating and colluding to create a manmade climate crisis that exists in their minds and computer models, but not in the real world. The scandal should have ended climate catastrophism. Instead, it was studiously buried by politicians, scientists, activists, and crony capitalists, who will rake in trillions of dollars from the … [Read more...]
Electrify Everything’ Policies Would Eliminate Gas Heating and Cooking
Originally published in TheInvadingSea. Natural gas and propane serve as excellent low-cost fuels for heating and cooking. Last year, natural gas usage grew faster than renewables in the United States. But advocates of green energy policies would eliminate gas for heating and cooking. According to the US Department of Energy, since 2007, US consumption of natural gas increased by 31 percent, rising from 23 to 30 percent of US primary energy consumption. Gas displaced coal as the preferred … [Read more...]
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Blames Global Warming for Wildfires
“CALIFORNIA BURNING” Better pour yourselves another cup of decaf, before you read this, California. AOC wouldn't recognize climate change if it were staring her straight in the face. The real cause underlying California’s annual spate of fires is the dearth of workable forestry management practices in Sacramento. That is added to the failure of local government officials to enact and enforce effective zoning restrictions on residential development in fire-prone … [Read more...]
When Wolves Infiltrate the Sheepfold: Discerning Climate Truth From Falsehood in Churches
In recent decades, environmental issues have emerged as a major source of concern for our society. Churches, except for a small percentage, have largely remained silent on how Christians should approach and even help overcome the environmental challenges. As a result, Christians have remained susceptible to being deceived by unbiblical principles that demand subscription to radical environmental viewpoints, often antithetical to the biblical doctrines on our relationship with the … [Read more...]
Developing Countries Must Bail out of the Climate Game
As obvious as it may sound, developing countries need more fast-paced development, not moral policing on matters of energy, development, and environment. The onset of the twenty-first century saw the international community coerce developing nations into adopting economy-choking environmental policies. Earlier environmental laws focused on more tangible and empirically verifiable environmental problems, like deforestation and toxic air and water pollution. But in recent decades, … [Read more...]
Dark, Dusty, and Developing: Climate Control Is the Last Thing We Want
This article was originally published on the Patriot Post on September 30, 2019. Despite decades of rapid economic growth, parts of India (where I live) remain severely underdeveloped. Though India has achieved energy surplus — producing more electricity than it consumes — it has yet to fix the country’s dodgy transmission network. Houses in villages remain unconnected to the main grid, and pockets of cities suffer blackouts from faulty transformers. I encounter literal darkness every … [Read more...]
