It is summer in the United States, which means temperatures are hot and western forests and grasslands are burning—as has been the case as long as people have lived here. In our current age, however, in which there is alleged to be a political “solution” to nearly every problem, politicians believe they can use governmental policies to give us better weather and change the nature of wildfires.So far, Congress, state legislators, and the Biden administration have launched a blizzard of new … [Read more...]
Exposing the Media’s Climate Change Lies and Exaggerations
For 20 years or more, dire warnings about global warming and “climate change” have taken the mass media of entertainment by storm. Every few years, climate change doomsayers have claimed that the world only has 12 years to turn the tide. They said practically the same thing 12 and 15 years ago; however, that they’re saying this year!Many news stories, many news programs and many movies, including many documentaries, have sounded the alarm about global warming and climate change, such as Al … [Read more...]
CLIMATE ALARMISTS CALL FOR GLOBAL ‘ECO-DICTATORSHIP’
Every so often the truth seeps out that significantly reducing global greenhouse gas emissions will require enormous sacrifices, meaning profound losses of welfare on people's part. Bear that in mind when you hear politicians’ promises of “net zero by X date” or “50 or 80 percent carbon dioxide reductions by year X.”In the Western world, the energy cuts and lifestyle changes required to hit net zero will mean going back to early-1800s levels of emissions. This will force enormously negative … [Read more...]
A Brief History of the Cornwall Alliance—Part 3: A Tree Takes Root
As we saw in Part 2 of this brief history, the Interfaith Council for Environmental Stewardship didn’t work out as originally hoped. But that didn’t mean the Cornwall Declaration would lie dormant forever.David Rothbard and Craig Rucker, whom I introduced in Part 2, kept in touch with me over the next few years, encouraging me to take up afresh the challenge of spreading the principles of the Cornwall Declaration on Environmental Stewardship. At last in the summer of 2005—having finished my … [Read more...]
New Climate Report Got You Shakin’ in Your Boots?
Every year like clockwork, starting in late July and running through to November, mainstream media around the world start hyping the message: your sinful use of fossil fuels to heat or cool your home, cook your food, power your car or truck, make and market and use your food, clothing, shelter, communications, transportation, health care, and all the other things that keep you alive and healthy will make the world overheat, and then you'll be sorry! And this year, the United Nations' (UN) … [Read more...]
Swiss Scientist: Play My Way or I’ll Take My Ball and Go Home!
That's the gist of what Swiss climate scientist Sonia Seneviratne told CBC News about why she may refuse to participate in any future assessment reports from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).It's not that the reports don't let her say what she wants to say. She's been a lead author about extreme weather in three of the six assessment reports.No, it's that policymakers around the world don't just take her word for it and do what she says must be done."There is no point for … [Read more...]
“Ecosexuality” and Marrying the Earth: It’s Not Your Grandparents’ Wedding
This will not be the usual post you find on this blog dedicated to Biblical earth stewardship, economic development for the poor, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's going to talk critically about sexual perversion. But by the end you'll recognize why it's appropriate for this venue.Annie Sprinkle is famous (or infamous) as a "performance artist" a "certified sexologist and advocate for sex work and healthcare ... a sex educator, feminist stripper, pornographic actress, sex film producer and … [Read more...]
Northern California Fires? Blame Arson and Forest Mismanagement, Not Climate Change
The "Dixie fire" in northern California has consumed some 500,000 acres and over 400 structures, including most of the town of Greenville. More than 5,800 personnel are fighting the fire. Several other large fires are blazing in the region.Environmentalists, climate alarmists, and mainstream media predictably blamed climate change for them.But it's likely they're wrong. Instead, Gary Maynard, an adjunct lecturer in "environmental sociology" who has taught at Santa Clara University and Sonoma … [Read more...]
A Brief History of the Cornwall Alliance—Part 2: A Withered Seedling
The Cornwall Alliance, the roots of which we saw in Part 1, almost got its start in 2000, though with different name, constituency, and mission.That was when the short-lived Interfaith Council on Environmental Stewardship got its start. It grew out of a meeting of 25 Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jewish theologians, economists, environmental scientists, and policy specialists in October 1999, at a retreat center in West Cornwall, CT.Sponsored by the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion … [Read more...]
Why “Follow the Money” Doesn’t Cut It
Dr. David Kreutzer, an economist formerly with the Heritage Foundation and now with the Institute for Energy Research, was Cornwall Alliance's livestream guest July 27 to discuss why President Joe Biden's "Net Zero by 2050" plan not only won't succeed but can't. (You can watch it on Facebook or YouTube.)When I announced this on Facebook, a friend from back in high school days---a fellow Christian and sincere person---commented, "No, thank you. I prefer to hear and read people with expertise who … [Read more...]
