People around the world participated in a climate strike on September 25, joining climate activist Greta Thunberg’s Fridays for Future “school strike” movement. Protestors in Toronto blocked an intersection, while those in Moscow danced in their custom-made green shirts. In India, children protested in front of the ministry of environment, holding placards with dubious claims. There were strikes even in Beirut, where the supposed danger from climate has been far less than other … [Read more...]
No Pope Francis, the World Is Not in a Climate Emergency!
Pope Francis has been a vocal advocate for climate alarmism. He believes the world is headed towards a climate doomsday. Recently, in his letter on Care for Creation, the Pope dedicated an entire section, titled “A Time to Restore,” to climate change. The Pope wrote: “Climate restoration is of utmost importance, since we are in the midst of a climate emergency. We are running out of time, as our children and young people have reminded us. We need to do everything in our capacity to limit … [Read more...]
Ecology and Economics for Religious Leaders
I’m honored to call Dr. John Baden, President of the Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment, a friend as well as an ally in the effort to bring sound economics to bear on environmental policy. John has been one of America’s best thinkers on environmental policy for over three decades. I’m glad we have the opportunity to reprint his latest article here.—E. Calvin Beisner It’s harvest season in much of America, and the nation’s houses of worship are filled with prayers of … [Read more...]
Return of the tiger: Wildlife conservation amidst rapid economic development
One of the biggest push backs to economic development today is that it destroys nature. Radical organizations like Extinction Rebellion label capitalism and agriculture as evil. More specifically, they blame the fossil fuel industry and the rapid industrialization for the loss of ecosystems and habitats. On September 10, 2020, the Guardian UK ran an article which stated “Wildlife populations are in freefall around the world, driven by human overconsumption, population growth and … [Read more...]
Muddled Approach Could Jeopardize U.S. Energy Future
Presidential candidate Joe Biden has introduced a $2 trillion Clean Energy Plan. Besides missing out on providing information about how the proposed transitions to “clean technology” would work, the extreme shift towards a fossil-free energy sector reveals the volatility in Biden’s approach. Fossil Fuel, Economy, and Radical Environmentalism Energy sectors are the backbone of any economy. In the U.S., fossil fuels have been singularly responsible for fueling American industries, which … [Read more...]
Factually Examining Climate Change
Most of the world’s leading economic powers – excluding China Russia and Iran – are legitimizing misguided energy and electricity policies based on global warming/climate change (GWCC); the World Health Organization says, “climate change is the number one health threat.” This led to the 97% consensus of scientists believe in anthropogenic global warming “Cook et al. (2013 paper),” which has been “thoroughly refuted in scholarly peer-reviewed journals,” and over ninety seven different … [Read more...]
Prioritizing climate over pandemics
We need a full accounting of what was spent preparing for the ‘climate crisis’ versus COVID As of May 20, the United States had more than 1.5 million confirmed cases of Wuhan Coronavirus. US deaths related or attributed to the virus topped 92,000 (though many were really due to old age and related co-morbidities). Because of COVID, much of the US economy has been shut down since late March. More than 36 million American workers have now filed for unemployment insurance, while tens of … [Read more...]
We must fight climate extremists before they upend society
Start learning the deep details of the science and economics instead of letting extremists dictate what you’re allowed to think or say. Last year was the year the climate issue took a sharp turn towards extremism. Let’s hope 2020 is the year sanity makes a comeback. There have long been three groups occupying the climate issue. To avoid pejoratives, I will call them A, B and C. The A group are the doubters. They don’t believe greenhouse gases (GHGs) do much harm and they don’t support … [Read more...]
Cornwall Alliance’s Dr. Roy Spencer Speaks to Managers of $25 Trillion in Investments
On February 13, Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer made a presentation to about 120 senior asset managers responsible for investments totaling some $25 trillion. The thrust of his message? "NO CLIMATE CRISIS---But the 'Profits of Doom' Will Continue." Dr. Spencer, a principal research scientist in climatology at the University of Alabama, Huntsville who, with his colleague Dr. John Christy, manages NASA's satellite global temperature measuring program and is the U.S. Science … [Read more...]
Not for Thee, But for Me: The Twin Life of Climate Hypocrites
Certain politicians are known for their proclivity for being hypocritical. An infiltration of this hypocrisy into climate change governance was all but inevitable when the global efforts to understand climate change morphed into a pseudo-scientific political movement. Unlike the scaremongering that dominates our headlines, most of these hypocritical lifestyles of the elitists never make the headlines on popular mainstream news media. When was the last time CNN, BBC or the Guardian—outlets … [Read more...]
