Dear Friends: What time is it? Take a look and see for sure. I’ll tell you later why. About a decade ago one of my sons, just turned nineteen, spent eight months assisting Christian missionaries in Ethiopia and Uganda. He saw how some of the world’s poorest people suffer—yet also how they can experience joy through knowing Christ. He actually saw a witch doctor converted. He saw people healed of terrible diseases by medical missionaries, children learning to read and write in mission … [Read more...]
Solar Energy’s Surprising Sources
Whenever I hear someone praising solar energy or electric cars to the exclusion of fossil fuels, the pragmatist in me cringes. Aside from the fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants and possibly the formation of methane deep in the earth's core from “non-biological processes … creating stable reserves of fuel within the much more extreme conditions of Earth's mantle,” virtually all of the power we depend on comes from the sun. The Earth's vast resources of fossil … [Read more...]
Why Predictions of 187 Million Refugees from Sea-Level Rise Are Nonsense
Imagine that you live in a $450,000 home situated along a stream out in the country. With very heavy rains, the stream rises about three feet, but your home is two feet above that level. One day, though, upstream, a landslide changes the flow of another stream. It previously fed into your stream below your home. Now it feeds into it upstream. So now your stream's normal level is three feet higher than before, which means that with a three-foot rise from a heavy rain you'll have a foot of … [Read more...]
Reviving the Heart of the Earth: Energy Liberation in Africa
Poets call Africa the heart of the earth. It is, both geographically and biologically. Yet, it remains the most underdeveloped continent. Only a handful of nations in the continent have become economically competitive with their European counterparts. South Africa is one such nation. When it comes to economic development, Nigeria and South Africa are the two most developed nations in Africa. South Africa has everything that makes it comparable to a developed Western nation. Better standard … [Read more...]
Fraud and corruption bring big payoffs
California judges provide stage for kangaroo court justice over Roundup weedkiller San Francisco area juries have awarded cancer patients some $80 million each, based on claims that the active ingredient in Roundup weedkiller, caused their cancer – and that Bayer-Monsanto negligently or deliberately failed to warn consumers that the glyphosate it manufactures is carcinogenic. (It’s not.) Judges reduced the original truly outrageous awards of $289 million and even $1 billion per … [Read more...]
July 2019 Was Not the Warmest on Record
July 2019 was probably the 4th warmest of the last 41 years. Global “reanalysis” datasets need to start being used for monitoring of global surface temperatures. [NOTE: It turns out that the WMO, which announced July 2019 as a near-record, relies upon the ERA5 reanalysis which apparently departs substantially from the CFSv2 reanalysis, making my proposed reliance on only reanalysis data for surface temperature monitoring also subject to considerable uncertainty]. We are now seeing news … [Read more...]
Why Climate Change Chicken Littles Demand Action NOW!
Britain’s Prince Charles said it: “the next 18 months will decide our ability to keep climate change to survivable levels.” There you go. 18 months. And you thought AOC was shrill! Why 18 months? Supposedly because, as Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, founder and director emeritus of the Potsdam Climate Institute, and one Pope Francis’s chief advisors on his 2015 environmental encyclical, put it, “The climate math is brutally clear: While the world can’t be healed within the next few … [Read more...]
Greenland’s Heatwave: What It Doesn’t Mean for All of Us
CNN ushered in August yesterday with a boilerplate scare story about a heat wave spurring rapid melting from Greenland’s ice sheet. Like many such articles, Sheena McKenzie’s “Greenland is in the grips of a heatwave. Here’s what it means for all of us” scares by presenting big numbers without putting them into relevant proportion: “In July alone, Greenland's ice sheet lost 160 billion tons of ice, according to Clare Nullis, spokeswoman for the UN World Meteorological Organization. That’s … [Read more...]
The Real Motives Behind Green New America and its Radical Undertone
Do you hold a moderate or neutral opinion on climate? Then get ready to be sidelined or blacklisted as a “denier” or “dangerous person” by the growing number of radicals who believe there should be no room for dissent. Welcome to the Green New America. In earlier days, the color Green was largely associated with nature and the abundance of life. In the 20th century, Green became the symbol of the fight against all things that destroys the environment. In the U.S., the color Green took … [Read more...]
Why am I Not Seeing Record High Temperatures Every Year? Climate Reality for the Confused Generation
Global warming, caused by greenhouse gases from human activity, is causing the earth to become warmer each year and cause historic highs. That has been the dominant narrative in our world today. It is not difficult to realize that there is something amiss with this warming narrative, when our thermometers and satellites don’t record historic highs linearly, i.e., incremental temperatures on consecutive years, with every new year surpassing the record high of the previous year. For … [Read more...]
