This prayer was submitted by a friend of the Cornwall Alliance. Heavenly Father, we praise you first of all for your work of redemption — for delivering us from the punishment that we deserve for our self-centeredness and for our failure to consistently translate your concern for the poor into action. We thank you Father for giving us forgiveness as a free gift, for we could never earn it. And as we look at your creation, we thank you that you have also given us the use … [Read more...]
Prayers Based on The Biblical Perspective of Environmental Stewardship
In 2013 the Cornwall Alliance, at the request of the International Church Council Project, developed a summary, in 30 pairs of affirmations and denials, of how Biblical worldview, theology, and ethics provide a foundation for environmental stewardship. The result was The Biblical Perspective of Environmental Stewardship: Subduing and Ruling the Earth to the Glory of God and the Benefit of Our Neighbors. What follows are seventeen prayers based on that statement. We hope you’ll find them useful … [Read more...]

Californians Turn a Cold Shoulder on Bill Requiring Climate-Change Education
A bill introduced in the California Assembly January 13 would require students to study the causes and effects of climate change in grades 1-6. It would also make the subject a requirement for high-school graduation. When I read the news, I first thought, “What’s surprising? Climate alarmists have long since taken over California.” But it looks like ordinary Californians aren’t going to be so easily led. Comments on the news story at CBS Sacramento were overwhelmingly … [Read more...]
The Silly Notion of “Speed Limits for Ships”
Originally published in TheT&D. Occasionally a report appears which claims to be wisdom, but after careful analysis, offers solutions that don’t make much sense. Such a report was issued earlier this month by United Kingdom consulting firm GL Reynolds, titled “The multi-issue mitigation potential of reducing ship speeds.” The report proposes that we can reduce global warming by imposing speed limits on ocean-going ships. The GL Reynolds report concludes that a 10-20 percent reduction … [Read more...]
How Much Is A Climate Change ‘Solution’ Worth?
Numerous policies are being proposed to combat climate change. The cost of some of these policies are estimated to be in the trillions, tens of trillions and even near 100 trillion dollars. By claiming their policies resolve an “existential” threat, some advocates justify implementation at any cost. Governments would impose these costs on the public, reducing standards of living and quality of life. But what is the true nature of the presumed threat? Is it existential? If not … [Read more...]

When Winter Knocks Early: Don’t Let Climate Madness Trick You
Winter arrived early this year for many parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Winter has arrived early this year for many parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Much of the U.S. is forecasted to experience record cold temperatures this week. Reports indicate that most states have a high chance of experiencing below-freezing temperatures in this week, as much as 10 degrees (Fahrenheit) lower than the usual lows. Last month, the forecasts for Halloween week did come true as Milwaukee, WI … [Read more...]
Climate Models vs Observations: 2019 Update
Back around 2014 many people, me included, were commenting on the discrepancy between climate models and observations. In a report for the Fraser Institute I showed the following graph: The HadCRUT4 series (black) was then dipping below the 95% lower bound of the model distribution. The IPCC itself in the 5th Assessment Report (2013) noted that out of 114 model runs, 111 had overstated observed warming since the late 1990s. That same year, Hans von Storch told Der Spiegel that If things … [Read more...]
