It is a slam-dunk certainty that American mainstream media will seize upon a recent story in the Los Angeles Times, “Southern California sets all-time heat records amid broiling conditions,” as justification for its continuing support of the contested theory of man-caused global warming. It has already happened with a Yahoo News story claiming that the new temperature records world-wide prove man causes climate change. But there are problems in pursuing that path. First, days that reach … [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...]
Flaky forecasts of certain climate disaster
Weather observing 160 miles above the Arctic Circle leaves a lasting impression. In the beginning of my atmospheric science career, I observed weather for a season at an isolated military outpost on Alaska’s west coast. Although snow fell on July 5, the temperature in the summer of 1977 later reached 70 degrees Fahrenheit on two days. More typically, the Arctic air was quite cool and the sky cloudy. Rain and mist were frequent. Since then, my decades of work in meteorology have been within … [Read more...]
Ten religious reasons against climate change
Many in politics, as well as in the media, are unaware that there is a growing number of Christians who are opposed to the ‘catastrophism’ associated with global warming. They have formed what is called the Cornwall Alliance and produced an excellent statement outlining their position entitled: A Renewed Call to Truth, Prudence, and Protection of the Poor: An Evangelical Examination of the Theology, Science and Economics of Global Warming. Based upon the statement as well as the work by Wayne … [Read more...]
Did You “Simmer” in the “Third-Hottest April”?
Cornwall Alliance Research Associate for Developing Countries Vijay Jayaraj recently wrote "Four Reasons Alarmists Are Wrong on Climate Change," which we sent out in our email newsletter. We often receive emails regarding these newsletters, and always try to provide a response. One of the emails about Vijay's article led to Dr. Beisner writing a response about global temperatures that helps to answer some common questions. The original email simply said, "See attached article for an accurate … [Read more...]
Endless Winter in the Era of Climate Crusade: A Wakeup Call
On every Earth Day coming, attention around the world turns to environmental issues. None is more famous — or infamous — than climate change. The winter of 2017–2018 has stirred debate about global warming. Some say the long, cold winter should quell climate alarmism. Others use it as evidence for extreme manmade warming. Who’s right? An Inconvenient Winter Temperatures plummeted way below normal across the Northern Hemisphere this winter. Many cities in Canada, America, England, and Europe … [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...]
Cornwall Contributing Writer Gregory Wrightstone featured on CBN News!
CBN News’s Gary Lane interviewed Cornwall Alliance Contributing Writer Gregory Wrightstone about climate change on Set It Straight yesterday. The interview is exciting and enlightening! Wrightstone, a geologist and author of Inconvenient Facts: The Science Al Gore Doesn’t Want You to Know, brings reality to the climate-change discussion. He cites fact after fact that contradicts claims of dangerous manmade global warming and explaining why President Trump and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt … [Read more...]
What Does A Weatherman Know About Settled Climate Science?
What does a weatherman know about the climate? This question is posed all the time as an argument by leftist climate activists against any meteorologist who would dare to oppose the “consensus” narrative that humans are causing long-term, disastrous global climate change. But the argument demonstrates the lack of understanding many have with respect to the discipline of atmospheric science. Those trained in the math- and physics- based atmospheric sciences (this frequently excludes broadcast … [Read more...]
Earth Day and the Bizarro World of Climate Alarmism
Much of the world celebrated Earth Day last Sunday. No one did it more enthusiastically than global warming alarmists. Global warming alarmists, like their ideological kin Progressives and Leftists, look at the world differently. More conservative types, like yours truly, don’t exactly view reality through rose-colored glasses. I’m no Pollyanna. I concede we occupy a fallen world. Yet by comparison, the alarmists’ worldview is considerably farther out on the spectrum of woe. Alarmists … [Read more...]
