An Invitation to Christian College Faculty to Sign an Open Letter to Protect the Poor in America and Around the World
Four-part Series: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4 Burke, VA, July 9, 2015 I’m writing to you about a very serious matter, so I beg for your patience as I explain it. Rest assured from the start, though, that I’m not asking you for money. I’m privileged to coordinate a network of about 60 evangelical scholars—roughly a third theologians, a third natural scientists, and a third economists and policy experts—all dedicated to applying excellent theology, ethics, science, and economics to public … [Read more...]
Humans Are Special in the Eyes of God
Christian scientists discuss the image of God in humankind, and the importance of trying to look at human beings from God's. All human beings are special. How is this relevant to the climate debate? Alarmists denounce humankind as a "cancer on the earth" and claim that the earth is over populated. Many climate change policies perpetuate poverty and condemn millions to continued suffering, and an early death. Watch the video to learn more. … [Read more...]
Bill Gates Gets It on Wind and Solar
In an interview published in The Atlantic, billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates had two very astute observations about wind and solar energy: On the limits of wind power and solar photovoltaic cells: Wind has grown super-fast, on a very subsidized basis. Solar, off a smaller base, has been growing even faster—again on a highly subsidized basis. But it’s absolutely fair to say that even the modest R&D that’s been done, and the various deployment incentives that are there, have worked … [Read more...]

Petition: Forget ‘Climate Change’, Energy Empowers the Poor!
The computer climate models that are the only reason for fears of dangerous, manmade global warming have proven wrong. They predict warming at twice the rate actually observed since the 1970s, and they failed to predict the complete absence of warming since January 1997. There remains, therefore, no good reason for the fears. It follows that policies to fight global warming fight a non-problem. They waste trillions of dollars needed instead to help the world’s poor meet much more urgent needs. … [Read more...]
An Open Letter on Climate Change to the People, their Local Representatives, the State Legislatures and Governors, the Congress, and the President of the United States of America
Human-induced climate change, also known as anthropogenic global warming (AGW), is real. Crucial questions facing the public and policymakers are its magnitude, its benefits and harms relative to the benefits and harms of the activities that drive it, and the benefits and harms of proposed responses to it. As the American people and their political representatives formulate policy regarding AGW, they should consider the following: Human Exceptionalism and Humanity’s Role in the Earth Severe … [Read more...]
Ethanol: A Federally Mandated Killer
Terry Scanlon of the Capital Research Center leads his latest email this way: When you gas your car with 10% ethanol, you're dragged into the Renewable Fuel Standard morass run by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). This environmentalist policy is so terrible, even the greens have turned against it. But as a government program, it's immortal. Our latest "Green Watch" documents how this disaster funnels money from consumers to crony capitalists, reduces your car's mileage, raises food … [Read more...]
How Fossil Fuels Benefit People and the Planet
Indur Goklany is one of my favorite scholars on the interplay of people, resources, and our natural environment. Few are more thorough and careful to root their ideas in solid empirical research. And what his research reveals, again and again, is that people's creativity is making the world a better and better place to live, not just for people but also for plants and animals. In a day when Greens everywhere demonize people's use of fossil fuels as imperiling the planet, Goklany demonstrates, … [Read more...]
