Donald Trump's withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement is both a geopolitical shift likely to have positive effects abroad and a monetary relief for American taxpayers.The pecuniary implications of Trump’s withdrawal are substantial: The United States has shouldered an outsized share of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change secretariat’s budget, contributing approximately 22% of its funding. For the 2024-2025 cycle alone, the secretariat’s operating costs are … [Read more...]
Equality vs Equity: Q&A
I am seeking literature that describes the notion of equality and distinguishes it from equity.

He Literally Walks on Water!
Matthew 14:25“Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.”Would you like to be able to walk on water the way Jesus did? The closest human beings have come to walking on water is water skiing, which some even do without skis. But they still need a powerful and noisy power boat to do it. But there is an animal that can walk on water without help of any kind.The basilisk lizard is yet another tribute to God’s unlimited creativity, knowledge and power. … [Read more...]
Two Narratives and their Widening Fault Line: A Review and Comments on Voddie T. Baucham’s Fault Lines
In today’s populist, racially-charged “social justice” movement in America, I see the shadows of the Cultural Revolution in Critical Race Theory (CRT), and in the ideology that inspired this movement.

Whites are born racist because of the cultural domination by White people in furthering their own economic and political power at the expense of “people of color.”—Lili Tang William … [Read more...]
Lethal Carbon-Imperialism in Glasgow and DC

From the Pope to the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury to leaders of the Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish faiths, many express their angst that climate change is an "existential threat" to humanity, especially the poor, and to all life on Earth.But sometimes one wishes they would combine some knowledge of basic data with their good intentions.An AP story published today, "Faith groups … [Read more...]
‘They need to breed less’: the darkness of climate zealotry
In this age of green craze, the most likely response to legitimate concerns about the lack of access to energy for the world's poor is advocacy for so-called renewable technologies such as wind turbines and solar panels.As embarrassing as that suggestion should be to the advocates of such unreliable and impractical energy sources, there are sometimes even more cringe-worthy replies that verge on the inhumane. A recent tweet of mine prompted one such response.The tweet was directed to attendees … [Read more...]

To anti-capitalists climate change is just a pretext for a planned economy
Guest column by Rainer ZitelmannMany so-called climate change activists are not really concerned about the climate and the environment.
