by Vijay Jayaraj

I want to tell you why.The landlocked country in East-Central Africa is one of the poorest in the world. Around 4 out of 5 of its people live in poverty, and 70 percent of children have no access to schooling.As with many other Sub-Saharan countries, South Sudan’s energy consumption (per capita) is low—indeed, the country is ranked at 166th in per … [Read more...]

Pope Francis Is Wrong. Climate Craziness, Not Climate Change, Threatens to ‘Destroy Civilization’

by E. Calvin Beisner

At a conference at the Vatican Saturday, Pope Francis told oil executives "climate change" could "destroy civilization." The Pope's warning ensues from his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si', in which he called climate change "a global problem with grave implications" and "one of the principal challenges facing humanity." He warned that it would most gravely impact the poor, many of whom "live in areas particularly affected by phenomena related to warming, and their means of subsistence are largely … [Read more...]

Fracking’s Safety

by E. Calvin Beisner

Ken Cohen at ExxonMobil has just published an article summarizing some of the basic things we know about the safety of "fracking" (hydraulic fracturing in drilling for oil and natural gas). The gist: It's not a significant source of either air or water pollution, and its record, good from the start, has been improving consistently. There will of course be those who write it off just because Cohen works for, and the article was published by, ExxonMobil. Sigh. Logical fallacies (genetic fallacy, … [Read more...]

Lord, We Thank You For Energy

by Thomas Purifoy

Dear Lord, Thank you for giving us a planet that has such bountiful sources of energy within it.  We thank you for the natural gas that keeps our homes warm, for the oil that brings food to our tables, and for the coal that gives us electricity.  We pray that you would increase our wisdom in harnessing the sources of energy that you have provided for us.  And we pray that the poorer nations of the earth would be blessed with the abundant supplies you have clearly provided for our use. Amen To … [Read more...]

Climate Change and Evangelicals: Thou Shalt Not Fear Fossil Fuels

by J.D. King

The fossil fuel industry should be dismantled because it is as bad as human slavery." That's exactly what Kathleen Henry, president of a non-profit environmental law firm argued in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. She went on: Continuing to use fossil fuels will, in fact, lead to economic collapse from the consequences of climate change. But people continue to listen to the harmful rhetoric of the fossil fuel industry... ...They must rise above this and actively support the dismantling of the … [Read more...]
