It began when the current Pope, Francis, succeeded Benedict XVI and proceeded to issue an encyclical dealing with economics. Many at the time defended him and argued that he could be interpreted in such a way as not to be overly critical of markets and capitalism. But Francis seems to have continued down an interesting […]

It’s Earth Day!
22 Apr 2015
Everyone, it is Earth Day. I remember painting garbage cans and lids with peace signs as a Sophomore in high school in the early 1970s to celebrate this hallowed day–at least for the radical environmentalists. Look, I support clean air and water–though not the eradication of CO2, which I breath out and trees and plants […]

A Change of Climate
02 Mar 2015
It seems like a good time to move from discussions about Islam to Global Warming or, to accept the new view, Global Climate Change (GCC). Believe it or not, this topic has a Christian dimension, even though it might not be immediately evident. We will get to that in due time. To begin, let’s review […]

As we approach the new year and incidentally, Old Christmas (January 6), I thought I would leave you with a few “gifts.” These come from Federal, state and even local actions over the past year. I don’t really wish these on anyone, but they are current reality. Release of five more Guantanamo detainees, whose threat […]

While the Ferguson, Missouri riots take center stage in the news, other events are occurring too, and important ones. For one thing, Thanksgiving is nearly here and Christians everywhere in America should take time to give thanks to God for who He is and for the abundant grace He has granted to each of us […]

Flood Wall Street – A Misplaced Trickle
24 Sep 2014
While Sunday’s “People’s Climate March” is being described as the largest climate protest event of all time with organizers claiming over 310,000 participants in New York City, the more radical protesters saved their skills for Monday’s “Flood Wall Street” protest. Around 1000 protesters spent the day trying to get in the way in and about Wall […]

Hot Air in New York
22 Sep 2014
The “Climate Mongers” are at it again. Thousands of protesters were out in New York and a few other cities around the world to try to salvage their dying cause of man-made global warming and the associated “solutions” they have variously proposed. The mainstream news media were also on this story like leeches, giving it […]

How to tell someone’s not serious about solving political problems. My short list here; what can you add?
30 Apr 2014
You know someone is not really concerned about carbon emissions if they reject natural gas and nuclear energy You know someone is not really serious about getting the deficit under control if they are in favor of near-term stimulus (more spending) and long-term spending cuts (i.e., when they are out of office) You know someone […]

In a huge win for economic analysis triumphing over politics, the state department today released a report showing that the Keystone Pipeline will not increase environmental emissions of greenhouse gases over alternative production realities. This is a big blow to the environmental lobby as it makes it more difficult for Mr. Obama not to approve […]

Christian Religion versus Environmental Religion
05 Nov 2013
We see it every day, a newspaper article or news report about what the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has done or might do to further regulate what it considers to be pollution. Most recently President Obama issued a statement to his agencies that he would soon be addressing global warming through some type of Federal […]
