In 2008, I was in my early 20s and about to complete my undergraduate degree in engineering. Despite being in a remote part of Asia with no Internet facility—except for the Internet cafes—the news surrounding global warming still managed to reach most of us. Being an ardent lover of the environment and passionate about conservation, I decided to pursue a career in environmental sciences, especially given the “rising problem” of global warming. Al Gore’s 2006 climate documentary An … [Read more...]

Does Climate Change Threaten the Global Food Supply?
Mainstream media tell us climate change has increased droughts and extreme heat events. (It hasn’t.) These, they say, reduce crop yields. For Christians concerned about poverty and hunger, this is an important issue. What does hard data say? Farmers are breaking all-time records for productivity. India for example, has produced record food crop output for three years in a row. The global picture is similar. World wheat production in 2020–21 will set a new record of around 768.49 … [Read more...]
Climate Hustle 2: The Rise of the Climate Monarchy
What do Dr. Ivar Giaevar, Dr. Judith Curry, Dr. Bill Gray, Dr. William Happer, Dr. David Legates, Dr. Richard Lindzen, Dr. Roy Spencer, Dr. Patrick Michaels, Dr. Tim Ball all have in common—besides their title of “Dr.”? They’re among the twenty-two top-notch scientists (Giaevar’s a Nobel Prize winner) who appear in Climate Hustle 2: Rise of the Climate Monarchy, the new documentary from my friend Marc Morano. And they’re joined by another twenty scholars—economists, political scientists, … [Read more...]
Must We Always Have Paris? How Trump Can Spoil Biden’s Climate Dream
On September 3, 2016, then-President Barack Obama engaged the United States in the Paris climate agreement. He called it the “most ambitious climate change agreement in history.” That means Obama considered it more ambitious than the Framework Convention on Climate Change—a treaty the Senate approved October 7, 1992. It means he considered it more ambitious than the Kyoto Protocol, American engagement in which the Senate killed with S.Res.98, passed by a roll-call vote of 95-0 on July … [Read more...]
Newsom vows to fast track toward Germany’s failed climate goals
He wants an electrical grid of intermittent electricity free of fossil fuels before 2045 California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Friday, September 11, that he is about to take one giant step toward following Germany’s failed climate goals, which should be a wake-up all for governments everywhere. Like Germany, California’s renewables are becoming an increasing share in intermittent electricity generation, but at a high cost. Power prices in Germany are among the highest in … [Read more...]
UNPREPARED: Covid-19, Locusts, Refugees, Floods, and Climate Change
by G. Cornelis "Kees" van Kooten I live on a Pacific Island off the coast of British Columbia (BC), Canada. Vancouver Island is about the same size as the Netherlands, but only has a population of about ¾ million (about 60% of whom live in the Victoria area) compared to 17 million in the Netherlands. As of April 8, 2020, BC had 1,291 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 43 deaths (mainly at long-term care homes), while the Island had 81 confirmed cases. The Netherlands had 20,682 confirmed cases … [Read more...]
Fauci-Birx climate models?
Honest, evidence-based climate models could avoid trillions of dollars in policy blunders. by Paul Driessen and David Legates President Trump and his Coronavirus Task Force presented some frightening numbers during their March 31 White House briefing. Based on now 2-week-old data and models, as many as 100,000 Americans at the models’ low end, to 2.2 million at their high end, could die from the fast-spreading virus, they said. However, the President, Vice President Pence, and … [Read more...]
A Challenge to Evangelical Climate Scientist Katharine Hayhoe
Late last year someone sent me a link to Dr. Katharine Hayhoe’s column “I’m a Climate Scientist Who Believes in God. Hear Me Out.” It was published in the New York Times October 31, 2019. Dr. Hayhoe’s Ph.D. is in atmospheric science. But she teaches in the political science department at Texas Tech University. She criticizes evangelicals who disagree with her about the causes, magnitude, consequences, and appropriate responses to climate change, aka global warming. Hayhoe … [Read more...]
A Potpourri of Recent Developments in the Climate Wars
Things pile up. The number of tabs open in my browser grows and grows. I mean to write separate articles on most of them. But time flies, I'm focused on urgent matters, and before you know it, things grow old. And my computer slows down! So rather than ignore these completely, here are quick comments on a variety of issues. Very big news: the federal Environmental Protection Agency announced its replacement for the power-grabbing, anti-federalist "Waters of the United States" rule … [Read more...]
Is U.S. Bound by UN Human Rights Committee Ruling on Climate Refugees?
The United Nations' Human Rights Committee (HRC) ruled January 21 that "countries cannot deport people who have sought asylum due to climate-related threats." The ruling came in a case brought in 2015 by a Ioane Teitota, who sought asylum in New Zealand as a "climate refugee." The HRC didn't rule that New Zealand's refusal to admit Teitota as a refugee violated his "right to life," but it did rule that "people seeking asylum are not required to prove that they would face immediate … [Read more...]
