Critic: Cornwall Alliance Is “in Denial” about Climate Change and Lacks Credibility

Every once in a while we get unfriendly emails. This one came last week: I am very disappointed to see such a lack of credibility relating to climate change in your organization. It is arguably the single biggest threat to the planet and to dealing with the issue of poverty. The fact that your organization […]

‘Evangelical Scientists and Academics’ Mistaken in Urging Congress to Act on Climate

  Climatologist Dr. David Legates’s response  to the letter from “evangelical scientists and academics” urging Congress to immediate action to fight global warming by reducing fossil fuel use points out some of its factual inaccuracies and the harms that would be done by acting on its advice. It’s also interesting to look at the letter as

Does Caring for “the Least of These” Demand Fighting Global Warming?

Recently, my fellow evangelical scientists and academics sent a letter to the United States Congress urging immediate legislation on climate change. In an effort to care for the planet—God’s second greatest gift to humanity—they argue that our uncontrolled use of fossil fuels will disproportionately affect the poor, the vulnerable, and the oppressed. I applaud their concern for

Four Bombshells in Next IPCC Report Undermine the Case for CAGW

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) boldly declared in its Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) in 2007, “Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures [GAT] since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas [GHG] concentrations.” That conclusion rested in no small measure on another conclusion: variations

“Climate Scientists” and Mainstream Media Team Up Again to Incite Groundless Fears

The mainstream media and global warming alarmists are at it again—confusing weather with climate, appealing to “tipping points,” doing their best to scare the public into the kind of panic that would let politicians commit us to budget-busting, economy-crippling, liberty-destroying policies to fight it. Last week CNN breathlessly reported, “More record warmth as scientists warn

Recommended Readings on the Global Warming Debate

From time to time the Cornwall Alliance receives requests for recommended readings on the debate over catastrophic, anthropogenic global warming (CAGW). Although it takes considerable time, we always send personal replies to such requests, believing that’s one of the ways we can serve people.

Excessive Regulation Can Be Fatal—Why EPA’s Raft of New Regulations Should Be Delayed or Dumped

In just about the last month, the Obama Administration has delayed new EPA regulations on ozone and greenhouse gas emissions, and the House of Representatives voted to delay more EPA regulations. Americans should cheer all three developments. Why? Because the decisions will save lives. First an illustration—then the facts. About a decade ago my medical

Climate Policy: Theological, Scientific, and Economic Considerations

A Panel Presentation to the Fourth International Conference on Climate Change Download the full  presentation (PDF). I’m grateful to James Taylor, Joe Bast, and the Heartland Institute for asking me to speak. My remarks today in part abridge, condense, and supplement what the Cornwall Alliance has said in a 76-page interdisciplinary research paper we published last
