We have been hearing quite a bit lately about the state attorneys generals’ attempts to require information from corporations, non-profit think tanks, university research centers and even individuals regarding so-called “climate denial.” The AGs have alleged that these entities have withheld information that acknowledges the reality and danger of climate change and thus have committed […]

Totalitarianism of the Left
14 Nov 2015
Berean Jeff Haymond wrote a blog yesterday which overlapped my blog, but you should read both. His is broader. Mine focuses on the global climate change issue. A recent Rasmussen poll indicates that 27% of Democrats surveyed favor prosecuting those who do not agree with global warming. Here is the question from the Rasmussen Report […]

Yesterday’s headlines included Rasmusson’s poll results on how many people want the government to prosecute people who don’t believe in global warming. The title of the article, Little Support of Punishing Global Warming Foes, belies the seriousness of the actual results. Let’s summarize the results, (copied from the Rasmusson link): 68% of Likely U.S. Voters oppose […]

Global Climate “Lukewarmness”
07 Aug 2015
I have been listening on Econtalk, a podcast production by economist Russ Roberts, to an interview with Matt Ridley, who calls himself a “lukewarmer” regarding climate change (by the way, I highly recommend Econtalk). To be a “lukewarmer” is to believe climate change is probably man-made, but not dangerous. Now before I get criticisms for […]

This is Part Two of my long blog concerning Pope Francis’s global climate change (and generally environmental and poverty focused) encyclical Laudato Si, issued last Thursday. I am a little to sorry to say this part will be at least as long as the first, but look at this way: You could read the full […]

Pope Francis issued his long-awaited encyclical today, entitled, Ladato Si or “Praise to You [O Lord].” The 183 page document is concerned with the environment and more specifically with global climate change. I am in the process of making my way through it, but have a few initial comments get things going. First, the Pope […]

The Trans-Pacific Trade Agreement
05 Jun 2015
This short blog is just a follow-up to my colleague Jeff Haymond’s blog on the trade agreement before Congress now. Dr. Haymond defended the agreement on the correct grounds that it enhanced free trade and that free trade is good for everyone, at least in the longer run (and given some short-run and inevitable disruptions). […]

Thanks to everyone who read my recent post on anthropogenic climate change (or global warming). Owing to the excellent feedback, I think it best to write another article rather than respond individually to each reader’s reply (yes — your comments were that good!). A preponderant theme of this discussion was the problem of evil (suffering […]

Why I Don’t Believe in Man-Made Global Warming
02 Jun 2015
“Let God be true though every man [and scientist] were a liar” (Romans 3:4) In the course of my teaching here at Cedarville University, students will occasionally ask me to address the issue of global warming. Of chief concern to them, it seems, is what a Christian’s response ought to be. Admittedly not one to […]

In a world of tremendous challenges and threats, Mr. Obama has a curious way of selecting priorities. Iran wants a Nuke, Mr. Obama says let them get very close but not have it for 10 years. ISIS expands, and Mr. Obama talks. In the U.S., job growth still significantly lags what is needed to lead […]
