Following is the text of Cornwall Alliance’s first “From the Stacks” livestream program with Founder and National Spokesman E. Calvin Beisner on Facebook, April 7, 2020. We post it here because Internet technical problems made some parts inaudible to viewers. Today, let’s talk about the novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19, and our governments’ responses to it. I’m going to argue that our governing authorities need to expand the sources from whom they seek advice about how to deal with this … [Read more...]
The Dirty Big Secret: ‘Clean, Renewable Energy’ Is Neither
... clean nor renewable, that is.That fact came through loud and clear in an article last August by energy expert Mark Mills and co-author Alexander Ackley in The International Chronicles titled "The Destructive Myth of Green Energy: If You Want 'Renewable Energy' Get Ready to Destroy the Environment."Here are a few facts that Mills and Ackley explain and prove in detail:While wind and sunlight renew themselves, we can only derive usable energy from them by using materials that don't. That means … [Read more...]
“Hottest” January? More Globaloney Bloviating from NOAA and the Media
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on February 13 issued a press release claiming "January 2020 was Earth’s hottest January on record." Predictably, mainstream media trumpeted the news. ABC's treatment was typical.Some thoughts on ABC's report---which are generally applicable to the press release and other media coverage as well:For an indication of just how sloppily people think about this issue, compare the URL … [Read more...]
Daily Caller toes climate alarmist line on Happer resignation
The resignation of Dr. Will Happer, Emeritus Professor of Physics at Princeton and one of America's finest physicists, from the National Security Council (NSC) is an important event. It is a sign of just how difficult it is to overcome the "deep state's" stranglehold on government policy, despite the fact that President Donald Trump is at the helm.Happer was tapped for the NSC with the expectation that he would head a Presidential Council on Climate Security (PCCS), one function of which would … [Read more...]
AOC’s Green New Deal Was Never About the Climate
"The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all."Obviously that must have been said by a critic the the Green New Deal, right?Wrong. The speaker went on to say: "Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”The speaker was Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's (D-NY) chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti. He made it official a couple of months ago when he met with Sam … [Read more...]
Fox News Quotes Cornwall Scholars against “Five most over-the-top climate warnings”
Maxim Lott at Fox News lists 5 "most over-the-top climate warnings," and in discussing them he quotes two Cornwall Alliance network scholars.The five warnings---all bogus---are that:Warming causes declining human birth rates (Morning Consult).We have "12 years left to live" because of it (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez---and lots of her acolytes in and out of Congress).Warming causes more tornadoes (Ocasio-Cortez, Al Gore, and others).Warming causes Indian tigers to eat more people (website "The … [Read more...]
The World’s Gone Mad
I have little but respect and admiration for Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swede who has launched a worldwide movement of students on strike from school to protest anthropogenic climate change. I think she's mistaken, and I'm inclined to agree with British climate scientist Piers Corbyn that she's being manipulated, but she seems sincere in her beliefs, and she's acting on them. Lots of adults could take that lesson from her.But, despite her having been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, … [Read more...]
No Deal at All
When Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey rolled out their Green New Deal (GND) in February, they put flesh on the bones of a policy that formerly was only a pie-in-the-sky proposal promoted by the Green Party. This Green Party proposal was a wish list from an expansionist government agenda floated by Democrat Socialists and the far-left wing of the Democrat Party over the last twenty or so years.The Green Party proposal went beyond replacing fossil … [Read more...]
What’s Wrong with a Carbon Tax?
The old joke is that if you put all the world’s economists end to end they still wouldn’t reach a conclusion. That’s another way of saying that economists routinely disagree with each other—often completely.Nonetheless, much of the public and many journalists treat a recommendation from a group of economists like the word from Mt. Sinai—as long as they agree with it.That kind of response was widespread when, as the Wall Street Journal recently reported, a group of economists signed a … [Read more...]
How To Respond to Ocasio-Cortez’s Claim that World Ends in 12 Years If We Don’t Address Climate Change?
Some friends have wondered why I haven't blogged in response to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's claim that "The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change." It's because some claims are so absurd they need no response. … [Read more...]
