Listen to a version of this article: Did you know that a billionaire is responsible for a million times more carbon dioxide emissions than the average person?That's the conclusion of a new report from Oxfam, an 80-year-old movement with 21 independent charitable organizations around the world that supposedly focus on alleviating global poverty. But Oxfam's fixation on climate change suggests that it suffers from mission creep – mission creep that undermines its stated purpose.A … [Read more...]
Elevated Living Standards Contradict Climate Doomsayers
Climate protestors destroying artworks and gluing themselves to roads without offering a shred of evidence for their alarm exhibit a malicious stupidity that is blind to the actual state of the world.Why do these activists not hold up placards with graphs, histograms, and Venn diagrams? Because actual data show that life today is much better than at any time in human history. Ignored is the fact that the change in climate has made Earth better and helped to advance humanity.Image: Creative … [Read more...]
EVs May Have to Hibernate
The Swiss, we have learned, are so concerned about power outages in the dead of winter, the country is considering barring people from charging their electric vehicles. The draft regulation states that, “the private use of electric cars is only permitted for absolutely necessary journeys.” This restriction would follow bans on hot water in washing machines and limits on streamed videos.Think that’s a fluke?Think again.It was just months ago that California Governor Gavin Newsom [well, … [Read more...]
UK’s Arctic Blast and Australia’s Cold Spring Contradict Climate Narrative
The mainstream media (MSM) wants the world to believe that climate change has turned us into rotisserie chickens. However, real-world temperatures are not warming to dangerous levels, nor are they going to.Australia’s ABC news, for example, tells its readers that the “influence of climate change ensures nearly every season is now warmer than normal.” Yet, in 2022 Australia experienced the coldest spring in 30 years! Major cities like Melbourne, Adelaide, and Canberra recorded their … [Read more...]
Christians, There is Nothing Wrong with Eating Meat
Today, this anti-meat culture has arrived at the church’s doorstep. We now have thought leaders, media personalities, and even voices within the church calling for a reduction in meat consumption.Christians should know that the call to ban or reduce meat consumption is not only unbiblical but also scientifically baseless.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashGlobal desperation for meat ban reaches Christian churchIn recent years, climate change has become one of the major reasons for governments … [Read more...]
Proposals For a Windfall Profits Tax Are Damaging Even If Never Enacted
In the wake of the midterm election results, President Biden has made it clear that “I’m not going to change,” in particular with respect to his view that “the oil companies are really doing the nation a real disservice.” Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashAccordingly, it is easy to predict a continuation of the incoherence of the Biden stance toward conventional energy: a policy environment reducing investment in future discovery, production, and ancillary capital assets … [Read more...]
Escaping from the COP-27 Insane Asylum
“Show us the money!” climate activists demand, and rich countries are expected to pony up.Do I hear $100 billion? Would you give $1 trillion? Now, then, would you give $2 trillion?The climate reparations bidding war is on. What began at $100-billion-a-year at COP-21 in Paris rapidly ballooned to $1.3-trillion on the eve of COP-27 in Sharm-el-Sheikh-Down, Egypt, and now stands at $2.4-trillion annually! And we’re nowhere near “going once, going twice, sold.”Of course, it was always about the … [Read more...]
COP27: A Meaningless Ritual for China and India
Last week, Greta Thunberg called the COP27 climate meeting a “scam” that provides a platform for “greenwashing, lying, and cheating.” The teenage climate activist is probably right – for a change.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashMany European countries that pledged at past meetings to move away from coal, oil, and natural gas have been unable to keep their promises. In the case of developing countries that depend heavily on hydrocarbons, the charade is even more apparent. For them, the … [Read more...]
C.S. Lewis On Atomic Theory and the Cross of Christ
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashIn Europe, at the turn of the twentieth century, great advances were being made in atomic theory. In 1904, the British physicist and Nobel laureate Sir Joseph John Thomson, who had discovered the electron, proposed his “Plum Pudding Model” of the atom, characterizing it as a smear of positive and negative charges much like pudding with embedded raisins (which the British called plums).Five years later, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, working under the … [Read more...]
Fake Science Fuels Climate Extremism
This is a guest article by David Barker. "Follow the science,” we are told, especially the junk science that climate alarmists invent. I recently debunked a piece of junk climate science whose alarmism was featured in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, CNN, CBS, and elsewhere. The junk science was produced by the Federal Reserve. Fed officials claimed that warming will cut economic growth by a third, but my simple statistical analysis showed their results were within the margin of error and … [Read more...]
