What do marriage, childbearing and childrearing, economic development, and environmental stewardship have to do with each other? More than you might imagine! Consider those topics in reverse order. First, environmental stewardship is each person’s responsibility to use and sustain the earth. Note those two words together: use and sustain. Many environmentalists tend to consider only the latter, and they have a skewed perception of what it means: keeping the earth pretty much in its natural … [Read more...]
Yoga Ecologist Says You Can “Love Away the CO2” to Fight Climate Change!
“Inhale up to your heart. Exhale up to the atmosphere. Love away the carbon dioxide.” Yes, you read that right! That’s just one part of the yogic meditation exercise prescribed by an anonymous blogger for healing the earth by stopping global warming. Too crazy to be real? Not in the mystical world of deep ecology and yoga meditation. On the blog “Loving the Earth: Reflections on Yogaecology, Climate Change, Permaculture and Community,” an anonymous blogger has a “Meditation for Climate … [Read more...]
Evangelical Environmentalism: Bought and Paid for by Liberal Million$$$?
Evangelical Environmentalism: Bought and Paid for by Liberal Million$$$ (PDF) Revised October 20, 2014 Has evangelical environmentalism, aka “creation care,” grown up as a native plant among American evangelicals? Or is it an invasive, hybrid species that overshadows the cross of Jesus Christ, developed and planted by secular scientists and religious liberals, watered and generously fertilized by Left-wing foundations[1] that share little or nothing of evangelicals’ theological and spiritual … [Read more...]
Evangelical Environmentalists Undermine Pro-Life Movement, Again
About two years ago over 30 of the nation's pro-life leaders issued an official statement against an environmental campaign spearheaded by the Evangelical Environmental Network calling mercury regulations "pro-life." Instead of correcting its claims, EEN doubled down and expanded them, further obscuring the meaning of "pro-life" and diluting its usefulness to identify people working to end abortion on demand. First they aligned global warming to the " pro-life" cause, and then they expanded the … [Read more...]
The Threat to the Scientific Method that Explains the Spate of Fraudulent Science Publications
First Published on Townhall.com In his recent article “The Threat to the Scientific Method,” Dr. Patrick Michaels, a climatologist who for 30 years was Research Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia and now directs the Center for the Study of Science at the Cato Institute, pointed to a serious problem: the corruption of science through government (and sometimes industry) funding, which has led to rapidly and alarmingly increasing numbers of retracted journal … [Read more...]
Familiar Environmental Deceit Threatens Pro-Life Movement Again
The United States pro-life movement (also known as the United States anti-abortion movement or the United States right-to-life movement) is a social and political movement in the United States opposing on moral or sectarian grounds elective abortion and usually supporting its legal prohibition or restriction.” So begins the Wikipedia article on “United States pro-life movement.” Nonetheless, as it did on mercury emissions from power plants, the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) now wants … [Read more...]
Movie Noah Trades Redemption For Destruction
Was Noah a violent, murderous environmentalist who experienced an anthropogenic apocalypse? Did God hate humans because they destroyed His earth? Not according to the Bible. Darren Aronofsky, director of the new movie Noah, starring Russell Crowe, clearly didn’t read his Bible very carefully—or didn’t like what he read. The movie Noah changes a story of love and redemption into an environmentalist propaganda piece about humans destroying the earth, and a call for human extinction. Brian … [Read more...]
Fossil Fuels, Enemy or Friend? Divine Design in the Carbon Cycle
Despite disagreements on some specific questions, I was glad to get acquainted with David Jenkins through his article Are Climate Skeptics Ignoring God's Design? It's always heartening to encounter another admirer of four of my favorite conservative thinkers, Edmund Burke (1729–1797), T.S. Eliot (1888–1965), Richard Weaver (1910–1963), and Russell Kirk (1918–1994)—the last of whom mentored me through my master's degree and introduced me to my wife. It's even more heartening when he shares both … [Read more...]
In a World of Demographic Despair, Christ is the Answer
With a rapidly shrinking population leading to grave economic and social problems, Japan is now reported to be experiencing a strange phenomenon: lack of interest in sex—not just for procreation, but even for recreation. Strange? Yes. Surprising? Perhaps not. Around the globe young people—especially in developed countries—are taught to live in what Michael Crichton aptly called a State of Fear. The Internet and more traditional media feed that fear with incessant claims of danger from every … [Read more...]
Can Faith and Science Cooperate? A Meteorologist Appeals to Scripture About Global Warming
Recently Certified Consulting Meteorologist Anthony J. Sadar, a Contributing Writer for the Cornwall Alliance, committed an unpardonable sin for scientists: he appealed to the Bible as support for his understanding about manmade global warming. Yes, he gave some evidence from temperature measurements, too, but his primary argument was this: … rather than having faith that God will sustain His environment so that the liberating word of Christ can go forth, [gullible] Christians have put their … [Read more...]
