Amid Earth Day’s impassioned calls to save the planet for future generations, a disquieting irony emerges: Efforts to eradicate fossil fuels – a linchpin of modern agro-industrial systems – risk severing the very supply chains that make global food security possible. From famine to abundance: green revolutionContemporary food production sustains a global populace of approximately 8 billion – and increasing – with a large percentage of individuals in wealthier countries consuming … [Read more...]
Jesus the Tekton
Timber Framing, Poetic Knowledge, and the Curse of SinWe stood at the ridge marking our property line, admiring our neighbor’s mature forest of mixed hardwoods and looking back with not a little distaste at the tangle of vines, thorns, and immature saplings on our side of the line — the mess from which we had just emerged. I counted fourteen holes in my shirt and more in my skin. We generally avoid this grim section of our otherwise beautiful farm but went that day to survey the forest and … [Read more...]
Study Destroys Basis of EPA Climate Regulations—No Starvation Driven by Climate Change
For two decades, the public has been bombarded with dire warnings of an impending climate-induced agricultural apocalypse. The claim is that a climate warmed excessively by the carbon dioxide emissions of human activity will ravage the food supply and plunge humanity into famine and chaos.For many reasons, none of this ever made sense. Now, a new study published in Scientific Reports, has turned this narrative of catastrophe on its head, revealing that a global temperature rise of even 5 degrees … [Read more...]
Paper Exposes Pseudoscience Behind Methane War on Farmers
Methane emissions have become a focal point of the climate debate, triggering absurd agricultural regulations negatively affecting farming communities worldwide. Targets for abuse are ruminant animals, including cattle and sheep, that produce methane (CH4) through enteric fermentation – a natural digestive process that converts grass into protein-rich meat and milk for human consumption.Even farmers from my family in India are possible targets of anti-methane assaults on agriculture that have … [Read more...]
Spencer vs. Schmidt: My Response to RealClimate.org Criticisms
EN: Dr. Roy Spencer serves thoughtfully on the Cornwall Alliance Board. What follows is a response to Gavin Schmidt’s blog post at RealClimate.org entitled Spencer’s Shenanigans in which he takes issue with my claims in Global Warming: Observations vs. Climate Models. As I read through his criticism, he seems to be trying too hard to refute my claims while using weak (and even non-existent) evidence.To summarize my claims regarding the science of global warming:In Gavin’s post, he makes the … [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. But not everyone in our world is as blessed as those living in Western economies that were built on fossil fuels.Billions in … [Read more...]
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...]
