As the new school year gets underway, here’s some reflection on what may be the current atmosphere of the academic scientific community. Certain campus professors and theoreticians have cast their lofty claims of climate catastrophe out of the comfort of the credulous classroom and faculty lounge and on to the critical community of the wary general public. The result: substantial resistance. Many campus scientists are dismayed at what they see as unreasonable skepticism of the scientific … [Read more...]
Cornwall Alliance Urges Legislators To End Obama Era Department of Defense Climate Change Requirements
The Cornwall Alliance joins 14 other organizations urging support of Representative Warren Davidson's amendment #388 to H. R. 2810, the National Defense Authorization Act. "The mission of the Department of Defense is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of our country." To place climate change requirements on its fuel consumption, or to task its personnel with helping local governments to "go green" reduces its readiness for real dangers and is a … [Read more...]
A Global Warming Red Team Warning: Do NOT Strive for Consensus with the Blue Team
Now that the idea of a global warming Red Team approach to help determine what our energy policy should be is gaining traction, it is important that we understand what that means to some of us who have been advocating it for over 10 years — and also what it doesn’t mean. The Red Team approach has been used for many years in private industry, DoD, and the intelligence community to examine very costly decisions and programs in a purposely adversarial way…to ask, what if we are wrong about a … [Read more...]
Was Exiting Paris Wise or Unwise?
Was it wise for President Donald Trump to pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement? The President offered mostly economic reasons for his decision. Although they’re important, it’s also important to know whether there’s good scientific basis. As some critics reason, “So what if the economy booms? What if the earth dies?”So here’s a 15-point summary of relevant facts, mostly scientific but some economic: 1. Global average temperature has risen and fallen cyclically, driven by … [Read more...]
Earth Day 2017 and the Anti-Scientific ‘March for Science’
It’s no mere happenstance that the “Marches for Science” were scheduled for Earth Day — this Saturday, April 22nd. The March organizers flew the flag of climate alarmism as soon as they announced the events. This, for instance, is from one of their early blog posts warning against a right wing “war on science”: Much of the War on Science will be subtly fought, casting doubt on … climate change. … This is a well-known tactic, thoroughly documented in the book Merchants of Doubt. At his … [Read more...]

Caring for Creation: A Book of Good Intentions but Poor Science
As an evangelical Christian, I believe we should be good stewards of God’s planet. We should strive to reduce pollution to protect human health and the natural environment. We should explore new alternative energy sources, always seeking to maximize benefits and minimize harms. We should prioritize providing electricity for the 1.2 billion people who don’t have it—and consequently suffer high rates of disease and premature death. For these and many other reasons I applaud Mitch Hescox and … [Read more...]

The Trump Climate Dump: Why It Doesn’t Matter if Even 100% of Scientists Agree on Global Warming
Given current technologies, it makes no sense to destroy $100 Trillion in wealth this century for an unmeasurable reduction in warming. The more efficiently we can do those things, the greater humanity prospers. Affordable energy is part of that efficiency. Everything humans do requires energy. Everything. But when human prosperity suffers, people die. So, can it really be called “anti-science” that the moment Trump was inaugurated, the White House deleted all references to climate … [Read more...]
Decision-Tree Modeling Shows Warming Mitigation Fails
Earlier this year Cornwall Alliance Contributing Writer Michael Cochrane published an important piece showing that, even assuming high probability that climate alarmists are right about the magnitude of anthropogenic global warming, mitigation is a poor response. Lately Kent Hawkins published a new piece at MasterResource.org that picks up on Cochrane's piece, substitutes more realistic assumptions about the magnitude of warming and other matters that don't bend over backward, as Cochrane did, … [Read more...]
