Last month the Environment, Public Health, and Food Safety committee (ENVI) of the European Parliament voted to oppose the European Union’s plan to approve four crops—varieties of cotton, soybeans, and maize (corn)—genetically modified to resist herbicides.Their vote exemplifies the mistaken belief that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are unsafe. No one would be sadder than the late Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug. Aside from scientists and students in agricultural colleges, few … [Read more...]
Rising sea level, higher storm surges, milder winters, oh my!
Today's email brought this from someone recently returned from a cruise along the coasts of New England and Canada:I think I heard at least two, maybe three, of the Canadian tour guides make comments regarding global warming. They are fully convinced that it is happening and that it is having a drastic effect on sea levels. They commented about eighteenth-century ship-tying rings that are now three feet underwater. They mentioned storm surges that are higher lately than they … [Read more...]
Organic Food, Essential Oils, and the Gospel of Grace
One of the latest buzz words in Christian circles, and everywhere else, is “organic.” As a society, we are spending increasing amounts of money buying organic produce, cage-free eggs, and grass-fed beef. Anything with the label “natural” is quickly becoming the preferred method, even when we’re not totally sure what “all-natural” really entails. For some, essential oils are replacing traditional medicine, with promises to heal across the spectrum, from a simple cold to chronic illness.While … [Read more...]
How You Can Help Bahamians Devastated by Dorian
When Hurricane Dorian ground to a halt over the Bahamas, it was immediately clear that the result would be widespread devastation. While, thank God, the death toll has remained comparatively low so far, the cost in terms of destroyed homes, businesses, and infrastructure is breathtaking.At times like this, Christians ask, "How can I help?" Few of us have the skills, the understanding, or even the opportunity to go on-site and lend direct help. Those who lack those but go on-site anyway often, … [Read more...]
Fighting Malaria with DDT and Infertile Mosquitoes: You Can Help!
Dear Friends:What time is it? Take a look and see for sure. I’ll tell you later why.About a decade ago one of my sons, just turned nineteen, spent eight months assisting Christian missionaries in Ethiopia and Uganda. He saw how some of the world’s poorest people suffer—yet also how they can experience joy through knowing Christ. He actually saw a witch doctor converted. He saw people healed of terrible diseases by medical missionaries, children learning to read and write in mission schools, … [Read more...]
The Elephant in the Room: Lack of Warming and the Eastern Coal Rampage
I’ve not seen the mainstream alarmist media in the U.S. questioning the on-going “coal boom” in the Eastern part of the world or defending America’s right to use fossil fuels.Instead, they’ve embarked on a climate scaremongering spree, gradually persuading the masses to embrace the lawmakers’ proposals for radical green policies that aim to reduce and even ban fossil fuel use.They justify this based on the supposed dangers of fossil fuels to the environment. And, … [Read more...]
The Global Nuclear Push: Pathway to a Bright and Secure Energy Future
I believe the future of energy is nuclear. Many others do, too.Despite the unfounded fears surrounding their safety, almost all major economies in the world have embraced nuclear technology with both arms.Here is a look at the current nuclear energy scenario and recent developments that offer a hope of a bright and secure energy future.Nuclear Energy: Standing Tall and StrongIn 2017, nuclear plants supplied 2,487 Terra Watt-hours (TWh) of electricity, constituting nearly 11 percent of all … [Read more...]
Does Overproduction of CO2 Harm the Environment?
Recently someone wrote this to the Cornwall Alliance:I saw the following comment recently posted online in regard to a climate change column & I'd like to respond to him thoughtfully & intelligently: "CO2 when overproduced acts as a pollutant which our environment can not properly use to make oxygen. It acts as a thermal blanket which raises the temperature steadily. This also harms the oceanic life which plays a key role in converting the CO2." He mentions 3 'facts' here … [Read more...]
More Evidence that Deep-State EPA Bureaucrats Aren’t Giving Up
Just in case you wondered whether deep-state bureaucrats at the federal Environmental Protection Agency had finally been brought under control, accountable to the people through their elected President and the EPA Administrator he appoints and the Senate that confirms the appointment, the answer is "No."Cause of Action Institute announced yesterday that it has discovered that, despite the fact that "the EPA informed the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) that as of June 2018, … [Read more...]
