We specifically pray for the strengthening of our existing energy infrastructure and opportunities to utilize new resources like natural gas. We pray that you will guide the nations of the world and its leaders to harness the wealth of natural resources that you have created for the well-being of us and our future generations. Lord, help us develop clean technologies—like the … [Read more...]
Emergence of the Coal Alliance
A year ago, no one could have predicted the emergence of a coal alliance. Not when the leader of the most powerful country—President Obama—was crusading against coal. One year later, the coal alliance has arrived! During his presidential run, Donald Trump pledged that the US would pull out of the Paris Agreement—the poster child agreement of the climate alarmists who advocate for the shutdown of coal plants. Trump also indicated that he would bring major reforms in national policies … [Read more...]
‘No Country for Radicals’: India Fights Back Against Obstructionist Nonprofits
Mark Scialla, a freelance journalist based in the United States, was deported from India two weeks ago (editors note, this article was originally published on Jan. 17) for reportedly documenting a controversial case surrounding the operations of a copper smelting factory. So why are countries like India becoming increasingly wary of foreign elements and their growing involvement in domestic developmental issues? The news of the journalist’s deportation did not come as a surprise to many … [Read more...]

Prayer for 2019: A call to pray for missions, leaders, and development
As 2018 passed into 2019, I found myself thinking about how to pray for matters on a global scale. Having had some time to ruminate on it now, I’d like to share some of my thoughts with you. There is always a reason for hope for those in Christ. God, through His Son, has not only given us assurance of “good things to come” but also called us to actively participate with Him in reconciling this world to Him through Christ. The least a believer can do is pray for the poor and hurting in our … [Read more...]
Strange Agreements and Stranger Taxes: The United Nations’ Climate Drama
When I first watched Stranger Things (a Netflix original) in 2016, I thought the story writer was really talented and the show lived up to its name. But a real-world storyline is even stranger: the climate policies recommended to us by the UnitedNations. Despite its many scientific and structural failings, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the world’s most influential, though not the most credible, source of policy on climate change. No other political or … [Read more...]
Les Misérables of Climate Drama
In the world-famous drama based on Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables, Jean Valjean is released on parole from the Bagne of Toulon after serving nineteen years for stealing a loaf of bread. Yes, for stealing a loaf of bread! A jail term of 19 years seems like an excessive punishment for a piece of bread. It does invoke anger and sadness in many as they first see the play. But what about real-world situations that are more miserable? Imagine if whole countries are branded as evil and … [Read more...]
Chennai, India’s Cold Winter vs. Global Warming Hype
Why do developing countries like India fear calling out the climate myth? Because doing so would risk international trade relations by challenging the European economic powerhouses that are vehemently opposed to any country that leaves the Paris accord. In fact, the European Union’s new Brussels policy stipulates that the EU will not sign trade pacts with any country that does not ratify the Paris agreement. While many climate alarmists call for India to cut down its dependence on coal, fearing … [Read more...]
Why Solar and Wind Are Not the Future
Wind and solar are hailed as the future of our world. Are they? Wind farms were a familiar sight for me as they were an integral part of the landscape near my hometown in southern India. The general assumption was that these windmills would generate a significant amount of electricity to aid the energy sector that was struggling to meet soaring electricity demand. However, the wind farms turned out to be a burden, not a boon. They generated unreliable and expensive electricity that was … [Read more...]
Pope Francis’ Climate Policies Would Hurt the Poor
Pope Francis has repeatedly stressed the need for climate action. He wants countries to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. Last month, he said those who disagree have a “perverse attitude.” But his stance on climate change will harm the poor. Is the Global Average Temperature Rising? Why? For centuries, the Church has been a champion of human rights and social justice. Countless charitable initiatives — schools, hospitals, community organizations, etc. — have helped the helpless. … [Read more...]
