In high school and college, I competed in debate tournaments across the state and country. I clearly remember many occasions when a debate team’s plan would include abolishing some government program. Inevitably, the opponents would ask, “What will you replace it with?” Only once did I hear any debater respond with, “Nothing at all. Government shouldn’t be doing that at all.” Everyone in the room was stunned, and that team lost. Even today, most people find it hard to imagine abolishing … [Read more...]
The Dawn of Climate Realism: Coal Surges Amid Climate Rhetoric
Many countries have been at the crisscross of warfare between anti-coal establishments and the traditional coal industry. Despite the elite-empowered and politically motivated worldwide campaign to phase out coal, demand for coal is on the rise! Coal has been “enemy No. 1” for the climate establishment. In fact, it would seem that the entire global warming movement is hinged upon the singular aim to eliminate coal from use. Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) is a notion that … [Read more...]
Church and Climate Change — Love Thy Neighbor, With Truth
The Christian church worldwide has always sought to improve people's welfare. It has been the forerunner for justice and freedom. That is understandable, because Jesus demands that we love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31). How then, in light of the best scientific and historical knowledge, ought the church to respond to climate change? How do we love our neighbors when it comes to global warming? Loving our neighbors doesn't stop with sending roses or being polite to them. We … [Read more...]
Climate Obsession: Blinding Us to Real Environmental Problems
Are there bigger environmental concerns than Climate Change? Certainly. But we don’t hear that from our daily news anchors and bulletins. Why are we obsessed with climate change? Not long ago, our interests were limited only to weather. But in recent decades, climate change has dominated our news columns. There is not a day without news on the coming climate doomsday. The reason for this is simple—climate change has been sold by the mainstream media as the most disastrous environmental … [Read more...]
Are There Benefits to Climate Change?
News reports and editorials about human-caused climate change are a daily feature of modern life, as politicians, environmental activists and industry leaders grapple over how to mitigate or avert the expected global catastrophe to ensue. Gregory R. Wrightstone takes a different view. “We see that many of the predicted climate calamities … are, in fact, not happening, and that conditions are improving in many cases,” he said. Wrightstone is an AAPG Member and author of the book, … [Read more...]
Climate Fake News: Now Spreading Like Wildfire
Fake news, and any interesting news, can spread like wildfire. Unfortunately, recent wildfires in Greece generated more fake news. It has now become popular to blame every natural disaster on global warming. Here I try to explain why this attitude is wrong and can sometimes even impede our scientific progress. Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) is a scientific theory that states that carbon dioxide emissions from human sources are causing global temperature to rise … [Read more...]
The changing climate of science
Have mathematical models replaced good old-fashioned scientific testing? An understanding of the big picture in a field of study helps to frame and give essential perspective to that field. Take the field of natural science for instance. A big-picture look at the overall operation of the natural science profession has traditionally been seen in the “scientific method,” which consists of observation, hypothesis and testing. Rigorous testing of a hypothesis eventually leads to a … [Read more...]
Why Climate Doomsday Won’t Happen This Summer
As we head into another summer, the clarion call for climate action from environmentalists is expected to grow louder. But are we really at the tipping point of a global climate catastrophe? Not all environmentalists are worried about the climate doomsday. In fact, even amongst the climate scientists, there is no clear consensus regarding the possibility of a climate state that would cause global catastrophe. Nevertheless, the mainstream media have been pushing the climate agenda on full … [Read more...]
Four Reasons Alarmists Are Wrong on Climate Change
Earth Day this year focused officially on the need to reduce plastic litter, a worthy and achievable goal. Nonetheless, much Earth Day activity concentrated on the alleged need to save the planet from climate change. Climate-change alarmists have long called the current warming period “unprecedented” and “dangerous.” But is it? Ironically, this Earth Day fell in the midst of one of the coldest Aprils in North American history. The severe winter of 2017–2018 has raised debates from two … [Read more...]
Listen in: Vijay Jayaraj Tells the Truth About Climate Change
Cornwall Alliance Researcher for Developing Countries Vijay Jayaraj was interviewed on the Wayne Allyn Root Show about the common climate change misconceptions propagated by the media. Misconception 1: Humans are causing catastrophic climate change. Reality: While humans may be causing some warming, it is so small as to be undetectable, and certainly will not be catastrophic. Misconception 2: CO2 is a pollutant. Reality: CO2 is plant food that helps plants grow. The higher the … [Read more...]
