2025 isn’t just the current year, or a Heritage Foundation project of conservative principles for political action for the new Republican President. In the 1990s it was also the result of an Air Force directive to “examine the concepts, capabilities, and technologies the United States will require to remain the dominant air and space force in the future“.As a partial response to that directive, several students at the Air War College in 1996 produced a document, largely theoretical in … [Read more...]
NOAA’s Homogenized Temperature Records: A Statistical House of Cards?
Guest column by Charles RotterFor years, climate scientists have assured us that NOAA's homogenized temperature datasets---particularly the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN)---are the gold standard for tracking global warming. But what if the "corrections" applied to these datasets are introducing more noise than the signal? A recent study published in Atmosphere has uncovered shocking inconsistencies in NOAA's adjustments, raising serious concerns about the reliability of homogenized … [Read more...]
Bring realism, not idealism, to science
The new Trump administration is delivering huge changes in the way the federal government operates. One expected result is for the conduct of science programs to reflect realism rather than idealism or political beliefs. This expectation needs to be fulfilled quickly to improve the public’s perception of, confidence in, and acceptance of government policies that must be based on solid scientific foundations. Public trust in government edicts that are ostensibly … [Read more...]
Europe’s Green Nightmare May Soon Be Over
Elections for the European Parliament will be held in June, and big changes appear on the horizon. The Green parties, who won big in 2019 and pushed European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to present an ambitious climate agenda, are in decline. Led by disgruntled (and targeted) farmers, voters in at least 18 of the EU’s 27 member nations are expected to express disapproval of EU policies at the ballot box.Perhaps the tiniest of the protests belongs to the European People’s Party … [Read more...]
Thailand’s Tiger Turnaround Contradicts Climate Fearmongering
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashThailand’s protected forest areas are home to the Indochinese tiger, known by their biological name Panthera tigris corbetti. Recent population numbers suggest that the tiger is making a comeback. Tiger populations in two of Thailand’s wildlife sanctuaries grew from 42 in 2012 to about 100 in 2022. The resurgence is one more conservation success story that defies the climate-obsessed mainstream media's doomsday narrative, which has been blaming … [Read more...]
Dangers of the Next Generation Science Standards
Over the past decade and more, a serious threat has arisen to the education of America’s children. For generations America’s public schools have indoctrinated our children with the dogma of Darwinism: life arose and developed by chance, no Creator involved. Now they’re indoctrinating them with another dogma: catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW)—and with it a whole catalog of other exaggerated and sometimes completely fictitious environmental concerns, all of them used as rationales … [Read more...]
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashIn an article on the Reformation21 website titled, “When ‘If You Give a Mouse a Cookie’ Is All the Logic Left,” Justin Poythress, Pastor of All Saints Presbyterian Church in Boise, ID, offers some wise caution about the typical way in which people try to persuade each other. His words are particularly relevant to much of what goes by the name of persuasion about environmental issues, including among Christians. Here I will quote him at length and then apply … [Read more...]

So you go to its page titled “Climate Change Indicators: Heat Waves.” Immediately when the page opens up, this is what you see:There you have it: decade by decade, everything goes up. … [Read more...]
Scientific Code of Values: Do Climate Alarmists Measure Up?
A few days ago I began reading Harold J. Berman's Law and Revolution: The Formation of the Western Legal Tradition (1983). It's a scholarly tour de force covering an amazing range of subjects in law, history, theology, ecclesiology, and even the rise of science (particularly how Christian thought generated that).These paragraphs, from pages 155--6 and 157--8, particularly caught my attention:Although science, in the modern Western sense, has usually been defined only in methodological terms, … [Read more...]
