Whereas Hurricane Ian which devasted large areas of Florida was indisputably a monster storm, a basic review of history reveals that media hype connecting it to evidence of a recent “climate change disaster” is entirely unfounded. Having said this, let’s understand that no one, much less those of us who live in Houston and other areas along the Gulf Coast, need be reminded of widespread terror and tragedy which can be wrought by a single tropical storm or hurricane event. At the same time, … [Read more...]

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash In an article on the Reformation21 website titled, “When ‘If You Give a Mouse a Cookie’ Is All the Logic Left,” Justin Poythress, Pastor of All Saints Presbyterian Church in Boise, ID, offers some wise caution about the typical way in which people try to persuade each other. His words are particularly relevant to much of what goes by the name of persuasion about environmental issues, including among Christians. Here I will quote him at length and then … [Read more...]
Fossil Fuels are the Greenest Energy Sources
This is a guest article by Indur M. Goklany Contrary to the claims of proponents of the Green New Deal and Net Zero, fossil fuels are the greenest fuels. First, uniquely among energy sources, fossil fuel use emits CO2, which is the ultimate source of the elemental building block, carbon, found in all carbon-based life, i.e., virtually all life on Earth. The increased amplitude of the seasonal cycle in atmospheric CO2 and satellite-borne instrumentation to measure solar-induced … [Read more...]
The Religious Moral Dilemma that Drives the “Moral Imperative to Stop Global Warming” into a Brick Wall
This is a guest article by Russell Cook. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash Once again, the “Religious Moral Imperative to Stop Global Warming” popped up last week and achieved another 15 minutes of fame via multi-repeats of the news story of the National Association of Evangelicals putting out a major report detailing the “Biblical Basis for Christian Engagement” to stop man-caused global warming. Sadly, their nearly 100 page report operates pretty much on what skeptic climate … [Read more...]
The 2022 Heatwave
The US Environmental Protection Agency publishes information in graphical form (see below) purporting to show a steady increase in records relating to heat waves as having occurred from 1960 to present. But the untold story is what happened during earlier portions of the 20th Century that preceded that date. EPA's graphs mislead the reader into believing that a calamitous rise in temperature may be about to unfold. It is untrue. Of the 50 all-time high temperature records for the individual … [Read more...]
Europe’s Heat Wave That Wasn’t
London & Europe Hit Record-TempsThis past week, London achieved a record temperature of 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Not to diminish the record temperature, but some perspective is clearly needed on this UK heat wave as the climate crowd continues to catastrophize.The Heat Wave of 1911In 1911, trees shed their leaves, grass turned to dust, and cows' milk dried up. As the New England Historical Society recounts it, The 1911 Heat Wave Was So Deadly It Drove People Insane. Temps hit scorching … [Read more...]
Ask Us Anything!
“I would like you to comment on whether you view the ‘data’ being presented by Bjørn Lomborg as accurate.”—Gene A. Thank you for the question, Gene. I have read several of Lomborg’s books, from the famous The Skeptical Environmentalist (2001), in which he first presented the hard empirical data that drove him to change his views from a fairly alarmist environmentalist position to what I would call the realist view made famous by one of my mentors, the late Dr. Julian Simon, in his books The … [Read more...]
Are This Summer’s Heat Waves Extraordinary?
Are they driven primarily by global climate change? Want to know whether this summer’s heat waves in the United States are extraordinary—nay, even unprecedented—due to manmade global warming? Where should you go for solid, objective data? Obviously, to the authoritative source, the Environmental Protection Agency. So you go to its page titled “Climate Change Indicators: Heat Waves.” Immediately when the page opens up, this is what you see: There you have it: decade by decade, … [Read more...]
A Tribute to Patrick Michaels
(Listen to this article on the Cornwall Alliance’s Created to Reign podcast.) My first contact with Dr. Patrick Michaels was around 2006 or 2007, in the early, formative days of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. I had, over the previous two or three years, read at least five or six of the books he had by then written or edited on climate change, and I highly respected him as a careful, humble, yet confident scientist, fearlessly standing against “consensus” … [Read more...]
Persistent Lies About Green Power
When drug companies try to sell you a particular cure for what ails you, the television ads typically consist of 10 seconds of saying how good the drug is and 20 seconds of disclaimers and warnings about possible negative side effects. If only renewable energy companies were that honest! To my great annoyance and disgust, a power company in Texas promises the state’s electricity users can choose a plan that delivers electricity 24 hours a day powered by the sun. Solar power. As anyone … [Read more...]
