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...]
NY Times Exploits Hurricane Harvey Victims

The article claims that Harvey and other "climate disasters" destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes across the United … [Read more...]
Green Billionaires Bankroll War on Gas Stoves
Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashWhat is the “Climate Imperative Foundation”? Have you ever heard of it? As Robert Bryce writes on Substack, “The Climate Imperative Foundation is the newest and richest anti-hydrocarbon, anti-natural gas group you’ve never heard of.” I recently discussed the issue related to gas stoves. In my investigation, I found the attack on using natural gas for cooking comes largely from the Climate Imperative Foundation.In its first year of existence, Climate … [Read more...]
Why the Sudden Attack on Gas Stoves?
No doubt you have heard the discussion that gas stoves are evil … because they lead to childhood asthma. I am not talking about “gasoline” stoves—and I do not recommend you cook with gasoline—but gas stoves that run on natural gas. You might have one of these “anti-children” appliances in your kitchen. I recently moved from a home that had a gas stove to one where I now cook with electricity … not because I have children who are likely to develop asthma but because … well, the new house does not … [Read more...]
The Dangers of the “One Health Joint Plan of Action”
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a page on its website titled “One Health Basics.” There it defines “One Health” as “a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach—working at the local, regional, national, and global levels—with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing”—and here’s the crux—“the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.”On that page the CDC writes about the risk of disease transfer … [Read more...]
Newly Released Survey Revealing Evangelicals Most Skeptical About “Climate Change” Is Evidence of Cornwall Alliance’s Influence
On November 17, the Pew Research Center released the results of a new survey about Americans’ views on the environment, particularly climate change.Pew’s report on the survey results says they showed that “highly religious Americans overwhelmingly say God gave humans a duty to protect and care for the Earth, but far fewer see climate change as a serious problem.” Specifically: 92% (including 86% of evangelicals) say God gave us that duty, but only 42 percent consider climate change an … [Read more...]
Welcome to Cold War II
Trying to Save the Planetfrom the People Who Are Trying to Save the PlanetTwo scenes from my toddlerhood in Calcutta, India, have flashed in my mind thousands of times over the last 60-plus years. The first was of a beautiful tree with a red-flowered vine hanging from its branches. The second was of the emaciated bodies of people who had died overnight of starvation and disease.I saw the tree and its vine as my aia, or nurse, led me by the hand through the courtyard of the building housing my … [Read more...]
Was Ian Really the “Deadliest” Florida Hurricane Since 1935 or 1928?
We should mourn every death from any natural disaster. We should feel compassion not only for those who have died but also for their family and friends, who mourn their loss. Assuming that the average American has about 15 living close relatives and about 200 friends, the number of people who have lost family or friends due to Hurricane Ian probably approaches 25,000. Each now mourns, closer family and friends more deeply, more distant less deeply. As Christians, we should mourn with those who … [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...]
