To borrow a phrase from another debate (where it is misused), the science is settled. So is the economics. As Peter Suderman points out, the federal Environmental Protection Agency proposes reducing from 18.5 billion to 15.2 billion gallons the amount of renewable fuel (essentially, ethanol, almost all from corn) it requires refiners to mix into total U.S. gasoline

C02 reduction regulations and subsidies for “green energy” are destroying the European economy, and the United States is next. But Europe’s waking up. After years of trying to lead the push to go green, it has turned around and begun steep cuts in its climate protection goals. Why? To save member states’ economies. For example,

Recently, my fellow evangelical scientists and academics sent a letter to the United States Congress urging immediate legislation on climate change. In an effort to care for the planet—God’s second greatest gift to humanity—they argue that our uncontrolled use of fossil fuels will disproportionately affect the poor, the vulnerable, and the oppressed. I applaud their concern for

Superstar Matt Damon’s latest politically charged movie, Promised Land, promised quite a bit that it didn’t deliver. The hydraulic fracturing that creates a focal point for the plot is of great concern to the Cornwall Alliance. Promised Land centers on a land-lease buyer, Steve Butler (played by Damon), who goes to rural towns and purchases the rights to hydraulically

The long-debunked Hockey Stick graph depicts global average temperature as rapidly increasing since the 1950s along with CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. It is alarming if you are unaware of the statistical follies employed: confirmation bias (excluding contrary data) and the choice of a bogus principal components method that will generate a hockey stick even from random

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) boldly declared in its Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) in 2007, “Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures [GAT] since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas [GHG] concentrations.” That conclusion rested in no small measure on another conclusion: variations
