Oh, my! Few things can better communicate the enormous benefits of the boom in U.S. shale oil and gas production from fracking than this. The boom not only drives costs for American energy consumers to record lows, but also drives down revenues for OPEC, the leading source of financial support to the world’s biggest and most […]

Nearly thirty years ago I published my first book on Christian economics, Prosperity and Poverty: The Compassionate Use of Resources in a World of Scarcity. The last three chapters dealt with the nature and causes of poverty and how churches and individuals can help the poor. I said some fairly controversial things then about how

Less than two years ago, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which wants us to trust its prognostications about conditions a century from now enough to bet trillions on them, warned that global warming threatened global food supplies. But last week The New Indian Express reported, “International food prices dipped by 19 percent in

The New York Times has just published an article claiming that global warming is (partly) to blame for the spread of various “tropical” diseases to the U.S. and other areas where previously they had been eradicated or had never existed.

During the same time, many millions of people (mostly women and children) have died due to policies promoted by Greenpeace and other “green” organizations (e.g. anti-DDT, anti-golden rice, anti-fossil fuel). I’ve said it before…I don’t really care where our energy comes

Ever dreamed of living like royalty? Count your blessings: If you can afford this magazine (WORLD, where this article was originally published), you’re already much better off economically than most kings ever were. Reginald Labbe, an English farmer better off than most in his time, died in the year 1293. His will listed the following

Wish I’d heard of Georgetown University Berkley Center’s “Symposium on Religion and Climate Change“ earlier. Perhaps Cornwall Alliance could have had someone there to offer a contrasting perspective—something most meetings seem rather loathe to entertain. Alas, I only learned of it about an hour before it was to begin. Aside from the usual problem of
