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...]
Will Trump Admin Destroy Climate Data?
Encountered the claims by climate-alarmist scientists that the incoming Trump Administration will destroy climate data? Here's a sober assessment of such, by Judith Curry. If I were among climate alarmists, I might be frightened by the prospect of the Administration's preserving ALL the data, AND all the homogenizations of it, AND all the computer code and instructions about how to do the homogenizations, because all that's the evidence of shenanigans to exaggerate the warming rate over the … [Read more...]
Whatever Happened to the Gospel?
New guidelines for spiritual formation for future Roman Catholic priests call for them to "have a good grasp of the global climate problem" and share it with their congregations, according to Catholic Online. Those behind the guidelines insist that they're not politically motivated. Rather, they insist that all the politics is on the other side, with fossil fuel interests funding "denialism." Apparently they're unaware that renewable fuel interests fund alarmism. Maybe the Roman Catholic … [Read more...]
Christian Faith is Alive and Well in the United Kingdom
Vibrant Christian faith is alive and well in the United Kingdom, as Cornwall Alliance’s Dr. E. Calvin Beisner experienced when he spoke on climate change, energy policy, and Christian faith last night (December 14) at Watchorn Methodist Church in Alfreton, Derbyshire, England. Dr. Beisner was the guest of Answers in Genesis–UK, which hosted the event in conjunction with Rev. John Peters, pastor of Watchorn Church. Alerted to the rare opportunity to hear a view about climate change that differs … [Read more...]
Evangelicals, Katharine Hayhoe, and Climate Change
Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is an evangelical scientist who desires the wellbeing of human society. She crunches data and helps people quantify the impacts of climate change. Sadly, her communication to the church has been anything but helpful. Dr. Hayhoe says, "The data tells us the planet is warming; the science is clear that humans are responsible; the impacts we're seeing today are already serious; and our future is in our hands." But is it? Does the church have to take her at her word because … [Read more...]
Global Warming Hysteria’s Long Goodbye
The twenty-second session of the United Nation’s climate change conference ended a few days ago in Marrakech, Morocco, and the proclamation went forth that the conference “successfully demonstrated to the world that the implementation of the Paris Agreement is underway and the constructive spirit of multilateral cooperation on climate change continues.” All “well and good,” but with the incoming skeptical Trump train, the trundling of the Marrakech Express is going to become a bit more … [Read more...]
Radio Interview: Students Indoctrinated in Environmentalism
A couple days ago I did an hour-long live radio interview with Dr. Terry Lovell on “KYCA Talks,” originating at Yavapai College in Prescott, AZ. Terry is a veteran professor of business and economics. His statistics specialty enables him to recognize quickly the gross errors in climate alarmism. During that interview, Terry repeatedly mourned the fact that so many students arrive in his classes with their minds already made up about global warming and other alleged … [Read more...]
Murder of the Scientific Method and Free Speech
As The Washington Times recently reported, a University of Colorado (at Colorado Springs) professor recently told his class that no debate would be allowed on climate change. The course is entitled, Medical Humanities in the Digital Age (whatever the heck that means and whatever the heck that has to do with climate change). The professor went on to quote a completely bogus statistic that is an ongoing favorite of climate alarmists saying, “Opening up a debate that 98% of climate … [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...]
