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...]
Are Schools and Media to Blame for Children’s Climate-change Neuroses?
The Independent reported March 3 that “a growing number of children are being affected by eco-anxiety—concern about ecological disasters.”Question: Do you suppose there is any connection between what school children are being taught in the classroom and may see on broadcast “news” all over the world—if they take time to pay attention—and their states of mind?Neither a typical school teacher, nor the average news reporter, is sufficiently grounded in the arcane discipline of climate science … [Read more...]
Sea Level Up at Almost All US Coasts—So What?
"The sea level rose at nearly all U.S. coastline measurement stations in 2019, leaving scientists to warn that the likelihood that heavy flooding will strike is becoming more likely."So wrote Sandy Fitzgerald in Newsmax February 3. But never fear. The facts and some solid reasoning will show that that outcome is unlikely, even as a worst case.This narrative has long served as an ace in the hole for the climate alarmists. What Ms. Fitzgerald failed to tell her readers is that long-term tide … [Read more...]
T-Shirt Time in Antarctica?
So suggested a headline in Bloomberg News early last month. What to make of this? For one thing Bloomberg News can no longer be regarded as a sterling source for news after its owner has thrust himself into the 2020 Presidential race.Still the information in the piece needs some careful examination.Right out of the gate please notice that the site where the temperature record was broken is not the same as that where the photograph was taken dating to 2008.In material fact, the distance between … [Read more...]
Will Climate Change Destroy Half the World’s Beaches?
According to a claim making the rounds through the media, global “temperature is expected to rise by 2.8° C at the end of this century due to climate change. This … will cause sea levels to rise, causing half of the world’s beaches to disappear.” My current search turned up at least a dozen more references that reconfirm the rampant pack-journalism mentality in today’s media. A quick read of the article below suggests several misinterpretations indulged in by the reporter.1) The only reason for … [Read more...]
