Adding to already rough and rising winter energy prices, Santa may have little choice but to pass along inflationary gift delivery reindeer flatulence fees. Yes, if he and his formerly merry elves didn’t already have problems enough with sky-high supply chain costs and delays, Democrat grinches are pushing a penalty tax on methane producers, Rudolph presumably included. To this end, a recently passed U.S. House bill would impose an escalating “fee” on oil and gas industry methane emission … [Read more...]
In Court Filing, Facebook Admits ‘Fact-Checks’ Are Nothing More Than Opinion
Facebook has admitted in a court of law that such fact-checks are not factual at all, but merely opinions.People send me stuff.As we have previously reported, journalist John Stossel is suing Facebook after Facebook’s ‘fact-checkers’ labeled climate change information that Stossel posted as “false and misleading”. In the middle of all this is the nefarious website “Climate Feedback” which has a bunch of climate zealots that write up what they claim are “fact-checks” for articles, videos, … [Read more...]
SEPP Lauds Cornwall’s Livestream with Christopher Essex
“Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.” Such is the wise counsel of Proverbs 27:2. Well, recently that happened, in a big way. Ken Haapala, President of the Science and Environmental Project (SEPP), was so impressed by the Cornwall Alliance’s From the Stacks livestream November 23, with guest Dr. Christopher Essex, that he devoted the first part of SEPP’s weekly e-newsletter The Week that Was November 27 to summarizing and commenting on some of its … [Read more...]
Latest Discoveries in the Field of Structural Biology Point to Intelligent Design
The August 9, 2021 edition of Chemical and Engineering News (C&EN) featured a story in the field of structural biology entitled “How Transcription Gets Its Start.” Transcription is the biochemical process that occurs in every cell in the human body when protein synthesis is initiated. It is a complex series of steps that begin in the nucleus when a gene—a section on a strand of DNA—expresses instructions for a specific protein to be produced. In … [Read more...]
Louisiana Religious Climate Activists Might Want to Check the Data
One can't help admiring the motives of many religious leaders alarmed about human-induced climate change. From the Pope to the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury to leaders of the Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish faiths, many express their angst that climate change is an "existential threat" to humanity, especially the poor, and to all life on Earth. But sometimes one wishes they would combine some knowledge of basic data with their good intentions. An AP story published today, "Faith … [Read more...]
Climate Change Contributes to Another Year of Record Crop Production in India
One of the largest agricultural countries in the world, India, expects its highest summer crop production for 2021–2022. This comes at a critical juncture when energy shortage crippled food production in China. The record numbers will play a critical role in maintaining global food security. The record harvest also challenges claims that climate change will reduce global crop production. For example, the Observer Research Foundation—an organization that is partnered by Apple, Bill … [Read more...]
‘They need to breed less’: the darkness of climate zealotry
In this age of green craze, the most likely response to legitimate concerns about the lack of access to energy for the world's poor is advocacy for so-called renewable technologies such as wind turbines and solar panels. As embarrassing as that suggestion should be to the advocates of such unreliable and impractical energy sources, there are sometimes even more cringe-worthy replies that verge on the inhumane. A recent tweet of mine prompted one such response. The tweet was directed to … [Read more...]
Is Pollution a Sin? How Many Americans Does Air Pollution Kill?
Email from a subscriber: 1.) Is pollution a sin or is it just unavoidable in our lives? How many things actually “pollute?” I struggle to say that pollution is a sin (as I’ve read from others) because there are many in the world who can’t afford the technologies that we have and I don’t think they’re sinning because they can’t afford cleaner technologies. Also, I see in John 21 that Jesus makes a charcoal fire in order to make breakfast for his disciples. I don’t really know anything about … [Read more...]
Don’t Lose Sleep Over the Latest UN Climate Report
It’s not “code red for humanity.” The philosopher G.F. Hegel is notorious for having said that if facts contradict theory, then “um so schlimmer für die Fakten”—“so much the worse for the facts.” Not surprisingly, the idealist Hegel had a huge influence on another idealist philosopher, Karl Marx, whose “scientific socialism” was socialist but decidedly not scientific. Facts have never seemed to matter much to socialists—it’s theory that counts. Perhaps that underlies the propensity for … [Read more...]
How Should We Think about Air Pollution?
Email from a subscriber: I am a believer in Jesus Christ living in the state of Minnesota. I am contacting you because I have had great struggles in understanding how to steward creation for God’s glory and the good of others.The biggest thing I’ve been struggling with is air pollution. I’ve heard from various sources that our cars pollute and this pollution can cause cancer and other health issues, even death, especially with older cars (my wife and I own a 2005 Toyota Corolla). … [Read more...]
