UNPREPARED: Covid-19, Locusts, Refugees, Floods, and Climate Change

by G. Cornelis van Kooten

by G. Cornelis "Kees" van KootenI live on a Pacific Island off the coast of British Columbia (BC), Canada. Vancouver Island is about the same size as the Netherlands, but only has a population of about ¾ million (about 60% of whom live in the Victoria area) compared to 17 million in the Netherlands. As of April 8, 2020, BC had 1,291 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 43 deaths (mainly at long-term care homes), while the Island had 81 confirmed cases. The Netherlands had 20,682 confirmed cases and … [Read more...]

No Plan B for Planet A: Replacing fossil fuels with “renewable” energy would devastate the only planet we’ve got

by Paul Driessen

Environmentalists and Green New Deal proponents like to say we must take care of the Earth, because “There is no Planet B.” Above all, they insist, we must eliminate fossil fuels, which they say are causing climate change worse than the all-natural ice ages, Medieval Warm Period or anything else in history. Their Plan A is simple: No fossil fuels. Keep them in the ground. More than a few Democrat presidential aspirants have said they would begin implementing that diktat their very first day in … [Read more...]

Climate hysterics skyrocket: Increasingly absurd disaster rhetoric is consistently contradicted by climate and weather reality

by Paul Driessen

Call it climate one-upmanship. It seems everyone has to outdo previous climate chaos rhetoric. The “climate crisis” is the “existential threat of our time,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi told her House colleagues. We must “end the inaction and denial of science that threaten the planet and the future.” Former California Governor Jerry Brown solemnly intoned that America has “an enemy, though different, but perhaps very much devastating in a similar way” as the Nazis in World War II. Not to be … [Read more...]

What Do “Green Jobs” Produce?

by E. Calvin Beisner

Cornwall Alliance advisory board member H. Sterling Burnett published a good piece in the Washington Times recently that rebuts claims about "Green jobs" in two ways. Burnett points out that in response to President Donald Trump's saying one reason to withdraw from the Paris climate accord was that staying in would drive energy prices higher, causing the loss of 6.5 million industrial jobs by 2040, supporters of wind and solar energy claim that job gains in wind and solar energy production … [Read more...]

The Theologization of Global Warming Among American Evangelicals: Who Says Religion and Science Can’t Mix?

by E. Calvin Beisner

[Note: This essay was written in the summer of 2010 at the request of Dr. Patrick Michaels, intended for a book he was editing. His publisher declined to include it in the book because of its religious content. It was never published elsewhere until now. We hope it remains a helpful survey of the history of the debate over global warming among evangelicals up to that time.—ECB, March 11, 2016] Introduction In the last half decade there has been a blossoming of public concern about global … [Read more...]

I Love My Job, and Sometimes It’s Really, Really Fun!

by E. Calvin Beisner

Back in June I had the tremendous privilege of interviewing 32 scholars and leaders on camera for Cornwall Alliance's forthcoming documentary, Where the Grass is Greener: Biblical Stewardship vs. Climate Alarmism, and our already posting YouTube video series Greener on the Other Side: Climate Alarmism---Facts, Not Fear (subscribe to our YouTube channel and you'll be notified of new videos when they post). Many of these are giants in their fields. All are brilliant people and dedicated to the … [Read more...]
