The mainstream media and global warming alarmists are at it again—confusing weather with climate, appealing to “tipping points,” doing their best to scare the public into the kind of panic that would let politicians commit us to budget-busting, economy-crippling, liberty-destroying policies to fight it. Last week CNN breathlessly reported, “More record warmth as scientists warn of global tipping point.” The article began: It's hot out there. But this time, it's more than idle watercooler talk, … [Read more...]
Brian Sussman’s Eco-Tyranny Exposes Marxist Roots of Environmentalism
How does environmentalism relate to Marxism? In many respects they overlap. Brian Sussman’s book Eco-Tyranny: How the Left’s Green Agenda Will Dismantle America seeks to answer where environmentalism came from, its connection to Marxism, and it ultimate goals. Chapter one, the most important, discusses the history of environmentalist thought as part and parcel with the original Marxists and their roots in Hegelian materialism (meaning man is an animal, and no truth exists, moral or otherwise). … [Read more...]
Recommended Readings on the Global Warming Debate
From time to time the Cornwall Alliance receives requests for recommended readings on the debate over catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming (CAGW). Although it takes considerable time, we always send personal replies to such requests, believing that’s one of the ways we can serve people. If you’re a Cornwall Alliance supporter, this is part of what your donations make possible. If you’re not, we hope you’ll consider becoming one. But it also makes sense to make such recommendations … [Read more...]
Protecting the Unborn and the Pro-Life Movement from a Misleading Environmentalist Tactic
A Joint Statement by Pro-Life Leaders Recently some environmentalists have portrayed certain of their causes as intrinsic to the pro-life movement. The tactic often involves appealing to a “seamless garment” of support for life, or to being “consistently pro-life” or “completely pro-life.” As leaders of the pro-life movement, we reject that portrayal as disingenuous and dangerous to our efforts to protect the lives of unborn children. The term pro-life originated historically in the struggle … [Read more...]
Excessive Regulation Can Be Fatal—Why EPA’s Raft of New Regulations Should Be Delayed or Dumped
In just about the last month, the Obama Administration has delayed new EPA regulations on ozone and greenhouse gas emissions, and the House of Representatives voted to delay more EPA regulations. Americans should cheer all three developments. Why? Because the decisions will save lives. First an illustration—then the facts. About a decade ago my medical exam revealed moderately elevated cholesterol and blood pressure. My doctor, not surprisingly, immediately and sternly advised … [Read more...]
Global Warming Propaganda from Scholastic.com Targets Young Children with Anti-Christian Worldview
Tens, even scores, of millions of adult Americans will remember warmly the weekly papers we received in school from The Scholastic. They were geared for specific age ranges, from Kindergarten up through twelfth grade, and covered a wide variety of subjects. They were helpful curriculum supplements to teachers. They’re still around today. I assume many are as useful, and unobjectionable, as they were forty, thirty, even twenty years ago. But not all. A few days ago the Cornwall Alliance … [Read more...]
If Peer Review Were a Drug, It Wouldn’t Get on the Market
In a blog piece at MasterResource.org, meteorologist Chip Knappenberger presents and discusses the implications of communications from MIT climatologist Richard Lindzen documenting bias in and corruption of the scientific peer-review process against “climate skeptics,” focusing on the case of his recent submission to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that was refused there under suspicious circumstances but later accepted by the Asian Pacific Journal of Atmospheric … [Read more...]
Huffington Post: Is Cornwall Alliance Responsible for Death of Environmentalism in America?
Robert Cabin’s article ”Thank God Environmentalism Is Dead” Wednesday, May 18, in the Huffington Post is the latest in a string of articles by Leftwing journalists and bloggers showing that they believe Cornwall Alliance’s critiques of the environmental movement, particularly our Resisting the Green Dragon videos and book, are fueling the decline in American public concern about eco-catastrophe. Cabin, professor of ecology and environmental science at Brevard College, writes, “A recent Gallup … [Read more...]
Congress to Vote Today on Prohibiting EPA Greenhouse Gas Regulation
In both last week’s and this week’s Cornwall Alliance Newsletters we informed you that votes were pending in the House and Senate on a variety of bipartisan measures to prohibit, delay, or restrict EPA’s regulation of greenhouse gases. We also published a news advisory on the subject. The House is now scheduled to vote today on H.R. 910, the Energy Tax Prevention Act, which would prohibit all EPA regulation of greenhouse gases with respect to climate change, though a number of pending … [Read more...]
The REAL Climate Change Deniers
Who could ever be foolish enough to deny that climate changes? Who, that is, except those nutty people who insist that "climate change" is a recent phenomenon and therefore must be man-made and dangerous? They're the real "deniers," not those who insist that climate has always changed and that the recent changes are not unprecedented and therefore need no explanation other than the continuation of things as usual.
