The Rhetoric of Politicized Science
We have arrived at full immersion in the political season. From now until election day and likely weeks beyond, political rhetoric, which has become dangerously incendiary, will flourish. And the public continues to be exposed to excessive hyperbole, distortions, and omissions of facts.Such exposure has come to be expected in the world of politics. But unfortunately, political speech tactics have also crept into the dissemination of scientific information to the public.Examples of political … [Read more...]
Why Not to Worry about Farming’s Contribution to Global Warming
For decades the primary way environmentalists concerned about manmade global warming have advocated to slow it has been to reduce human emissions of the “greenhouse gas” carbon dioxide (mainly from burning coal, oil, and natural gas for energy). Lately they have focused increasingly on contributions from two other “greenhouse gases,” primarily from agriculture—methane (CH4) from livestock flatulence, and nitrous oxide (N2O) from chemical fertilizers.Why? Because CH4’s forcing effect (the amount … [Read more...]
Mr. Bean Was Right – and So Was Toyota
When auto (even EV driving) enthusiast Rowan Atkinson – Mr. Bean to his fans – last June wrote in The Guardian that there are “sound environmental reasons” why “keeping your old petrol car may be better than buying an EV,” he was vilified as a eco-traitor.Atkinson had added, “We’re realizing that a wider range of options need to be explored if we’re going to properly address the very serious environmental problems that our use of the motor car has created.” These include, he said, hydrogen fuel … [Read more...]
Coal’s Life-Saving Role Ignored by Climate-Obsessed Media
On a recent cold winter day, residents of Munich were surprised to see people skiing in the street. Yes, that is how much snow fell in the German city and other parts of Europe during the early winter of 2023-24.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashDespite a disruption to both ground and air travel, the Germans survived and most had access to heating and basic utilities.

Prayer for Revival Based on Psalm 8
The following is a guest article by T. M. MooreImage: Creative Commons under Unsplash It was because God so loved the world (the cosmos) that He sent Jesus for its redemption.Psalm 8 reminds us that God has filled the world, from the vault of heaven to the most helpless babe in arms, with His majesty, splendor, glory, and might, the awareness of which is powerful even to silence the adversaries of the Lord.In the midst of this glorious splendor and beauty, God has appointed human beings as … [Read more...]
Why Young Evangelicals Are in Danger of Becoming Puppets for Climate Marxism
The following is a guest article by Jason Mattera.The phrase “useful idiot” referred to those individuals during the Cold War who unwittingly disseminated communist propaganda (American liberals), even if they weren’t commies themselves.Naïfs, in other words. Major-league naïfs.Today, there appears to be a growing number of young evangelicals who are intent on proving this catchphrase true — locking arms with a worldwide movement devoted to the eradication of private property, limited … [Read more...]
Here’s a Real Superhero for Your Kids to Imitate!
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashBillions of people owe him thanks. Hardly any have heard of him.He worked patiently, tirelessly, in dirt and grime, unknown to almost everyone. But he’s one of the most important people who’ve ever lived.Of models I hope my grandkids will follow, he’s among the top. Not that they’d do the same kind of work, but that they’d cultivate the same self-discipline, the same determination to serve others, the same humility.In the United States, he won the … [Read more...]
NOAA and Green Activists Condone Whale Sacrifice By Offshore Wind Industry
Reports are multiplying around the world: dead whales are washing up onto beaches in rapidly growing numbers.Why? Well, the New York Times ("a former newspaper"---Andrew Klavan) blames online shopping and climate change, an interesting take that spurred a humorous jab by the Manhattan Institute's Jonathan Lesser.Whales navigate by their God-given sonar systems. Other sonar signals, likely including those used by offshore wind developers to map the sea floor, mess with those systems, and whales … [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...]
