For Immediate Release June 1, 2017 THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. (Applause.) Thank you. I would like to begin by addressing the terrorist attack in Manila. We’re closely monitoring the situation, and I will continue to give updates if anything happens during this period of time. But it is really very sad as to what’s going on throughout the world with terror. Our thoughts and our prayers are with all of those affected. Before we discuss the Paris Accord, I’d … [Read more...]

Climate Change, Caring for Creation, and Evangelicals
Last year Mitchell Hescox, CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network, teamed up with television meteorologist Paul Douglas to write Caring for Creation: The Evangelical’s Guide to Climate Change and a Healthy Environment (Bethany House). Their hearts are in the right place, but their understanding of global climate-change science is seriously deficient, and the result could be a cure worse than the disease—especially for the billions of poor around the world. Anthony Sadar, a veteran … [Read more...]
Climate Science or Climate Advocacy?
For almost thirty years, I have taught climate science at three different universities. What I have observed is that students are increasingly being fed climate change advocacy as a surrogate for becoming climate science literate. This makes them easy targets for the climate alarmism that pervades America today. Earth’s climate probably is the most complicated non-living system one can study, because it naturally integrates astronomy, chemistry, physics, biology, geology, hydrology, … [Read more...]
Why Trump Should Fire the Paris Climate Treaty
Oh, the delight of knowing we’ve probably just endured the last salvo in the Obama Administration’s climate-change propaganda campaign! On November 16, U.S. delegates to COP-21 in Marrakech, Morocco—the twenty-first Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change—unveiled the United States Mid-Century Strategy for Deep Decarbonization. The document sets forth how the U.S. Obama Administration intends intended to achieve its “Intended Nationally Determined … [Read more...]
How do Climate Alarmists Appear Moderate?
Climate alarmists have long faced one uphill battle in public discourse: the very fact that they're thought of as alarmists, embracing positions that, tested by empirical science, seem at the outer---and scary---edges of possibility. What can make them seem moderate instead? Nothing better than for one of the world's most prominent science journals, Nature, to publish an article that is many times more extreme. That's what just happened September 26 when Nature published Carolyn … [Read more...]
From Climate to LGBTQ, Poor Discernment Knows No Boundaries
The ability to "test all things, hold fast what is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21) is something that all Christian leaders/teachers are obligated to cultivate assiduously. Liberal Baptist theologian/ethicist David Gushee, discussed in Rod Dreher's blog post "We Have Been Warned," has failed in that and led many thousands of Christians into serious errors in theology, ethics, politics, even economics and science. Gushee supports government's forcing churches and religious schools to embrace LGBT … [Read more...]
Louisiana’s Flooding: Brought to You by Climate Change?
Did climate change cause Louisiana’s flooding? The New York Times, Al Gore, Vox, Congressman Raul Girjálva, Chris Mooney (citing evangelical climate-alarmist darling Katharine Hayhoe) in the Washington Post, and lots of others in the mainstream media think so. But more sober voices disagree. Adam Sobel of the Earth Island Institute at Columbia University, no “climate-change skeptic,” writing at Phys.org, says, no study can tell us that climate change caused an event like this to happen, … [Read more...]
Climate Models: Uncertain? Inaccurate? What’s the Difference? Why Does it Matter?
For years I have been pointing out that the super-sophisticated computer climate models on which the IPCC, national environment agencies, national academies of science, and of course the many climate-alarmist advocacy groups and journalists depend for their predictions of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) predict, on average, 2 to 3 times the warming actually observed over the relevant periods; that they failed to predict the complete lack of statistically significant … [Read more...]
Is the Democratic Party’s Climate and Energy Platform Defensible?
Pressured by radical environmentalists and multi-billionaires like Tom Steyer who stand to profit, the Democratic Party has issued a new platform statement on climate and energy: Moving beyond the “all of the above” energy approach in the 2012 platform, the 2016 platform draft re-frames the urgency of climate change as a central challenge of our time, already impacting American communities and calling for generating 50 percent clean electricity within the next ten years. The Committee … [Read more...]
Climate Science, Energy Policy, Poverty, and Christian Faith: How do they Connect?
(Editors Note: Click graphs to enlarge) In the March 16, 2016, issue of Forbes astrophysicist Ethan Siegel’s article "The Next Great Global Warming ‘Hiatus’ is Coming!" sought to refute skeptics of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) by arguing that the apparent lack of statistically significant global warming over roughly the last 18 or 19 years is just one in a series of lulls in a long-term warming trend for which human action is responsible. His article, deftly argued and … [Read more...]
