A friend of Cornwall Alliance points out that with most of the driving and large parts of the economies shut down around the world, air pollution emissions are declining, as are carbon dioxide emissions, so many environmentalists celebrate these results and think they point toward a better world.Yes, there’s been lots of discussion of the “environmental benefits” of the “lockdown” designed to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2: fewer people driving to and from work, and fewer factories operating, … [Read more...]
Choosing the Economy over People’s Lives?
The current novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has stimulated all kinds of questions. As more and more people begin to demand that the more extreme measures to curb its spread---those that are shuttering a large part of our economy---come to an end, one of the most common is whether such thinking involves prioritizing the economy over lives. Is it not pro-life to insist that we continue the widespread shutdown of our economy in the name of saving lives?That's what drew this email from one … [Read more...]
Why Has Cornwall Alliance Paid So Much Attention to the Coronavirus Pandemic?

How Many Uninfected People Will the “War on the Coronavirus” Kill?
Following is the text of Cornwall Alliance’s first “From the Stacks” livestream program with Founder and National Spokesman E. Calvin Beisner on Facebook, April 7, 2020. We post it here because Internet technical problems made some parts inaudible to viewers. Today, let’s talk about the novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19, and our governments’ responses to it. I’m going to argue that our governing authorities need to expand the sources from whom they seek advice about how to deal with this … [Read more...]
Coronavirus Highlights Eco-Radicals’ Anti-Human Agenda
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...]
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...]
We must fight climate extremists before they upend society
Start learning the deep details of the science and economics instead of letting extremists dictate what you’re allowed to think or say.Last year was the year the climate issue took a sharp turn towards extremism. Let’s hope 2020 is the year sanity makes a comeback.There have long been three groups occupying the climate issue. To avoid pejoratives, I will call them A, B and C.The A group are the doubters. They don’t believe greenhouse gases (GHGs) do much harm and they don’t support expensive … [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 day. There … [Read more...]
Rainfall Trends in India Show No Climate Fatigue
Climate is particularly important to farmers in agrarian countries. Drought could mean the difference between life and death.India, for example, is predominantly agrarian. Of the country’s 1.3 billion people, 300 million, nearly a fourth, are poor even by Indian standards, and millions of others are on the borderline. So, agriculture is a big deal.Climate alarmists argue that the world has been progressively warming in recent decades (due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions) and that this … [Read more...]
