This is a long article. I hope you’ll read it all anyway. If you’re staying home to help reduce the spread of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19), you may have more time on your hands anyway! I’ve prayed and pondered long and hard what to say about the pandemic, wanting to encourage simultaneously both prudent care and fearless confidence. Unsurprisingly, many in the media and politics exaggerate the danger. Both have strong incentives to do so. The media incite fears to increase audience, … [Read more...]

The Green New Fascist Deal
The “Green New Deal” is a fascist utopian plan written by environmentalist lawyers that is purportedly designed to tackle the global warming apocalypse which capitalism, particularly of the American kind drunk on fossil fuels, has precipitated through economic recklessness and colonial racism. CO2, a trace gas measured in parts per million, is the primary culprit of a semi-apocalyptic global warming crisis that can only be averted through an all-wise cadre of Democratic green lawyers. That such … [Read more...]
Katharine Hayhoe strikes again
Earlier this week someone sent me a link to Katharine Hayhoe's column "I'm a Climate Scientist Who Believes in God. Hear Me Out," published in the New York Times October 31. In it Hayhoe, whose Ph.D. is in atmospheric science but who teaches in the political science department at Texas Tech University, criticizes the thinking of fellow evangelicals who disagree with her about the causes, magnitude, consequences, and appropriate responses to climate change/global warming. Referring to … [Read more...]
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Blames Global Warming for Wildfires
“CALIFORNIA BURNING” Better pour yourselves another cup of decaf, before you read this, California. AOC wouldn't recognize climate change if it were staring her straight in the face. The real cause underlying California’s annual spate of fires is the dearth of workable forestry management practices in Sacramento. That is added to the failure of local government officials to enact and enforce effective zoning restrictions on residential development in fire-prone … [Read more...]
Under-reported tropical storm Imelda nevertheless makes herself known to residents of southeastern Texas.
Tropical Depression Imelda is not receiving the extensive media attention she deserves, ostensibly because it did not come ashore with hurricane force winds, and not even as a tropical storm, but as a sprawling tropical depression accompanied by vast amounts of moisture. Still, the damage from the flooding inflicted by its 35-40 inches of rain that has fallen over the past two days continues to render low-lying portions of southeastern Texas, including the greater Houston area, wet … [Read more...]
Katharine Hayhoe Ventures into Theology
Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist, professor of political science, and director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University. Like many climate scientists, she thinks human activity is causing dangerously rapid global warming and that we ought to take expensive steps to stop it. She also identifies as an evangelical, and that's why mainstream media give her so much attention---Time magazine having named her one of the 100 most influential people of 2014. When some … [Read more...]
What If Evangelical Students Heard More than One Side of the Global Warming Debate?
Two years ago, evangelical environmental law professor John Murdock wrote in First Things that in 2012 former Evangelical Environmental Network head Jim Ball, author of Global Warming and the Risen Lord, “speaking at the World Wildlife Fund in D.C., [proclaimed] it a ‘fool’s errand’ to try to reach the right side of the evangelical spectrum” with the message that human-induced global warming is real and dangerous enough to justify enormously costly policies to curb it. Lately some … [Read more...]
The Pop Culture Transition from Population Growth to Global Warming
For many of us Millennials, especially in densely populated developing countries like India and China, it was a no-brainer. Population growth was the world’s biggest problem. At least, so we learned in our schools. But as we grew into our 20s, the focus of the world turned more toward climate change. Was population growth really a problem? Is it still? Why are we now so obsessed with climate change instead? There are always two kinds of environmentalists: those who genuinely care for … [Read more...]
Does CO2 Control Temperature, or Vice Versa?
A Cornwall Alliance follower on Facebook wrote, I remember hearing someone reputable say once that the known historical record actually shows increases in CO2 after periods of warming, rather than before them. I believe might have been referencing ice core records among others. I found him persuasive, and if this is true, it seems it would be an important hurdle for climate change alarmists to get over. Agree/disagree, insight? Climatologist Dr. David Legates, a Cornwall Alliance Senior … [Read more...]
Hey, Americans, Save Your Birds!
Dear Americans, I love nature. I’m writing this from the lush forests of India. But I want to call your attention to something going on in your own country—something that should shock and outrage you. It’s the needless deaths of millions of birds every year. I grew up among the beautiful peacocks and pretty little sparrows in the beautiful forest regions of southern India. Those and many other birds were not just pretty things I enjoyed watching. I was concerned by the many challenges … [Read more...]
