As you know, I have major reservations concerning the global warming debate. But clearly I was overly optimistic. This post on a major UK political blog makes clear that even debating the issue is unacceptable. It all echoes some of the points made in that compelling documentary, The Great Global Warming Scandal. One thing is clear: while scientific evidence proving [...]
Some of you know I have a major problem with the concept of man-made global warming. No, that’s not quite true, actually. My real problem is how even mild dissent or doubt is pounced upon and vilified as utter heresy by Enviro-Fascists in a display which would make certain medieval, torture-driven ecclesiastical institutions proud. Such `liberals’ are nothing of the sort, [...]
I see that planet Mars is apparently undergoing global warming. Clearly its inhabitants are not environmentally-conscious enough… their carbon footprint is far too large (or perhaps Al Gore has a second home there?). Thankfully, our own Green lobby here on Earth is on the case. As long as we do what they say and reduce our carbon [...]
Remember the doom and gloom eco-merchants of the early 1980s who claimed global warming would lead to the melting of the polar caps and the flooding of London by 2010? As a teenager I recall how this was big news all of a sudden. The Green Party sprang onto the national political stage, everyone was talking [...]
I have written in a previous blog the importance of understanding a concept called, “opportunity cost.” Opportunity cost is simply a term which means that when you make one choice you automatically give up the opportunity to make another. That loss of a different choice is what is the cost of your making the choice. [...]
It has suddenly become so very fashionable to discuss the carbon emissions we as individuals produce. Such talk was rare a year or two ago, but now it seems (to use a fashion industry parlance) green carbon offsetting has become this year’s new black. Thus we face a daily barrage about how we should watch the carbon emissions we produce. [...]
In the lead-up to the forthcoming Copenhagen summit, man-made climate change (also known as Anthropogenic Global Warming, or AGW ) is being even more ubiquitously reported in the media than usual (if that were possible), with a flurry of apocalyptic scare stories and grave pronouncements by government officials. Deliciously, the climate change ideologues have become [...]
One of my recent posts detailed briefly increasing Evangelical-Muslim dialogue, together with Roger Oakland’s observation concerning the rise of a global spirituality. Central to this are Yale Theology scholars who are dialoguing with Muslims and who have apologised for the Crusades, War on Terror etc. Leading Evangelicals have also signed the document. More details and [...]
