Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp is a climate-change activist, reports Hank Berrien in The Daily Wire: Depp’s championing of global warming activism includes his movie production company attempting to buy the movie rights to a book that was a diary account of climate change disaster as seen by a London teenager. He also played in a concert with Aerosmith as part of their Global Warming Tour in 2012. But there's just a little problem. Apparently the celebrated pirate of the silver … [Read more...]
Freeman Dyson’s brief case against dangerous CO2-driven warming
At a lecture at Boston University a few years ago, Freeman Dyson, one of the world's top physicists, who replaced Albert Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, put very simply one of the most basic arguments against the notion that CO2-driven global warming is likely to be disastrous: In humid air, the effect of carbon dioxide on radiation transport is unimportant, because the transport of radiation is already blocked by the much larger greenhouse effect of water vapor. … [Read more...]
Heidegger, Fascism, Evergreen State College, and the Environmental Movement
There's a lot more behind modern environmentalism than enjoyment of furry animals and beautiful landscapes. Existentialism and Postmodernism have made significant contributions, and they, in turn, have their own deep roots. Rev. Mark Musser, an expert on German Romanticism, Idealism, and Existentialism, has written at length in his book Nazi Oaks: The Green Sacrifice of the Judeo-Christian Worldview in the Holocaust, on the roles they played in shaping Nazism and later … [Read more...]
Is Paris Agreement More Fundamental to Christian Faith than Christ’s Resurrection?

Mitch’s Pitch for Climate Alarm—Reason, or Unreason?
Recently Rev. Mitchell Hescox, CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network, wrote an email to a pastor, who forwarded it to us. It's a prime example of the fallacious (and worse) discourse climate alarmists often use. Here's what Hescox wrote: I pray you will reconsider your stance on climate change. It is apparent, you have been mislead by evil spirits. Climate change science was first published in 1892, the National Academy of Science first told President Johnson about the serious impacts … [Read more...]

Your Tax Dollars at Work: Abortion and Forced Sterilization in India
Over 35 million children have been aborted worldwide so far this year. Abortion numbers for India are hard to gauge because many don’t get reported, but it’s more than half-a-million babies, and could be as many as seven million. The preference for male children is strong in India, leading to sex selective abortions and significantly fewer female children. This has exacerbated sex-trafficking of women. … [Read more...]
Caring for Creation: A Book of Good Intentions but Poor Science
As an evangelical Christian, I believe we should be good stewards of God’s planet. We should strive to reduce pollution to protect human health and the natural environment. We should explore new alternative energy sources, always seeking to maximize benefits and minimize harms. We should prioritize providing electricity for the 1.2 billion people who don’t have it—and consequently suffer high rates of disease and premature death. For these and many other reasons I applaud Mitch Hescox and … [Read more...]
