When wildlife and the economy flourish together: A case from India

by Vijay Jayaraj

Imagine driving from the heart of a city for 50 miles and finding elephants blocking your road! That was the childhood I grew up in, a stone’s throw away from some of the most dense tropical forests of Asia.Though the forests were lush and the environment pleasant, there was a constant stress on the local communities to fight poverty and attain financial stability. This was the story of India during the 1990s.Two decades later, India has not only grown economically stronger, but has also managed … [Read more...]

Africa’s priority: Unrestricted energy development

by Vijay Jayaraj

Africa has been recording fast economic growth in the last two decades, with an average annual GDP growth of 4.6% (2000-2016).However, that has not been sufficient to meet the developmental goals and poverty is again on the rise. In recent years, poverty rose slightly in Africa for the first time in more than a decade, especially in countries like South Africa, Niger, and Uganda.To make things more challenging, COVID-19 has had a negative effect on the GDP. The GDP of South Africa—the most … [Read more...]

Prayer for 2019: A call to pray for missions, leaders, and development

by Vijay Jayaraj

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

by Vijay Jayaraj

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...]

Coal Helps Developing Countries Fight Poverty And Disease. Quit Whining About It

by Vijay Jayaraj

Developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America face the uphill task of reducing mortality due to diseases, many caused by poor hygiene and other localized pollution concerns accompanying poverty. Poor communities are constantly exposed to diseases caused by poor hygiene and lack of basic facilities like latrines, sewers and sewage treatment plants, and purified water supply. Mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, water borne diseases like diarrhea, and others are common among people … [Read more...]

Wealthy Countries Resilient in the Face of Extreme Weather

by H. Sterling Burnett

Since 1900 the number of deaths from natural disasters, including floods, hurricanes/cyclones, earthquakes, and tornados, has fallen dramatically, even as the number of reported occurrences of such events increased due to improved telecommunications and technologies to track and report such events, broader news coverage, and the globalization of international aid. Even as global population has grown from fewer than 2 billion people in 1900 to more than 7.4 billion people today, the number of … [Read more...]

Standard of Living: The Real Hockey Stick

by Douglas Gregory

The long-debunked Hockey Stick graph depicts global average temperature as rapidly increasing since the 1950s along with CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. It is alarming if you are unaware of the statistical follies employed: confirmation bias (excluding contrary data) and the choice of a bogus principal components method that will generate a hockey stick even from random data. But there is another Hockey Stick that is statistically sound and far more important to human life—the correlations … [Read more...]
