- The IPCC’s Cardinal Error in CO2 Warming Calculation
(December 4, 2007)
Lord Christopher Monckton, Viscount Brenchley, former science advisor to the Thatcher and Major governments in the UK and a well-known critic of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has written a paper especially for the Cornwall Alliance revealing a major mathematical error in the work of the IPCC. Because of the error, the IPCC exaggerates the warming effect of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by 2 to 7 times. The IPCC’s cardinal error is in its logically inconsistent and prodigiously exaggerated estimate of the effect of what is called the “radiative forcing” effect of increases in greenhouse-gas concentration on… CA
- Global Warming, Inc.
(December 4, 2007)
Al Gore no longer needs to make claims about creating the Internet, because the former Vice President deserves much of the credit for creating an entire new industry—the global warming business. And like the energy barons of an earlier age, Mr. Gore has the chance to achieve enormous wealth after being named last week as a new partner at the famously successful venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins. No fewer than three of his new colleagues sit on the Forbes list of wealthiest Americans. If Mr. Gore can develop market-based solutions to environmental challenges, we will cheer the well-deserved… CA
- My Nobel Moment
(December 4, 2007)
I’m sure the majority (but not all) of my IPCC colleagues cringe when I say this, but I see neither the developing catastrophe nor the smoking gun proving that human activity is to blame for most of the warming we see. Rather, I see a reliance on climate models (useful but never “proof") and the coincidence that changes in carbon dioxide and global temperatures have loose similarity over time. There are some of us who remain so humbled by the task of measuring and understanding the extraordinarily complex climate system that we are skeptical of our ability to… CA
- The Deceit Behind Global Warming
(December 4, 2007)
No one can deny that in recent years the need to “save the planet” from global warming has become one of the most pervasive issues of our time. As Tony Blair’s chief scientific adviser, Sir David King, claimed in 2004, it poses “a far greater threat to the world than international terrorism,” warning that by the end of this century the only habitable continent left will be Antarctica. Inevitably, many people have been bemused by this somewhat one-sided debate, imagining that if so many experts are agreed, then there must be something in it. But if we set… CA
- NAE, or Cizik, off course
The National Association of Evangelicals is leading its member churches into the political wilderness.
By E. Calvin Beisner, Ph.D. (July 2, 2007)
"My opinion is that the NAE is swerving to the left because they think they need to be relevant and hip and distinguish themselves from groups like the FRC. Some groups think they can make common cause with the left on this so the left won’t hate them as much.” CA
