THE EPA DELIVERS “UNWANTED PRESENT” FOR CHRISTMAS
The Cornwall Alliance Warns Christians EPA Regulations Do Not Carry a Pro-Life Banner (December 22, Washington, DC)—“Yesterday the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave Americans a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings,” said Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, National Spokesman of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. “The unwanted present? A likely 11.5 percent hike in electricity rates, costing the average household more than $160 extra next year.”
The gift came in the form of EPA’s newly announced Utility MACT (Maximum Achievable Control Technology) rule setting new restrictions on mercury emissions from power plants. EPA estimated the new rule would cost the economy $9.6 billion per year. CA

Bi-Partisan Congressional Measures to Stop EPA Power Grab
Bi-Partisan Congressional Measures to Stop EPA Power Grab on Greenhouse Gas Regulation Could Prevent Energy Prices Increases, Job Losses, and Constitutional Crisis
(March 28, 2011, Washington, DC)—The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation is keeping an eye on Sen. Mitch McConnell’s amendment to a small-business technology bill expected to come to a vote this week. The amendment would prohibit the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG) to prevent alleged dangerous manmade global warming. The amendment is identical to bills pending in the House and Senate with bipartisan sponsorship by a combined 116 members of Congress.
According to Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, National Spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance, “The bi-partisan support for these measures reveals the sense of Congress that EPA’s regulating carbon dioxide threatens the Constitutional separation of powers.”
Following the failure of cap-and-trade legislation in the last Congress after the scientific case for dangerous manmade global warming collapsed, the Administration turned to the EPA to do what Congress refused to do. It thus put unaccountable bureaucrats in charge of enforcing the most intrusive regulations ever imposed on the American economy.
“The potential damage from EPA regulation of carbon dioxide emissions is enormous,” Beisner said. “Energy prices would skyrocket, driving up costs for food, shelter, transportation, and everything else consumers need. Businesses would face dramatic permitting costs, and employment would plummet. . . .” CA

Sounding the Alarm about Dangerous Environmental Extremism:
EXPLOSIVE NEW DVD SERIES,
RESISTING THE GREEN DRAGON,
NOW BEING DISTRIBUTED NATIONALLY AND ABROAD
While Others Push Evangelicals to Embrace Anti-Christian Environmental Views, the Cornwall Alliance Has Been Joined by Top Christian Leaders in a New Series of DVDs and Printed Resources for Churches and Ministries
(November 10, 2010, Washington, DC) – At a critical moment in the global environmental debate, many of America’s top Christian leaders have joined with the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation to produce an explosive new 12-part DVD series, Resisting the Green Dragon, which begins shipping today both in the United States and abroad. The series sounds the alarm about dangerous environmental extremism and brings a Biblical viewpoint on environmental issues and creation stewardship to evangelical churches, ministries, and schools.
The new video series – excerpts of which can be seen at www.ResistingTheGreenDragon.com –
comes at a time when environmental advocacy groups are frustrated that their top priority for the past two decades—a global treaty to curtail fossil fuel use to fight alleged catastrophic global warming—is losing steam. CA

New Advocacy Ads Are Misleading
Cornwall Alliance says Radio Ads in “Swing States” Lying about EPA Carbon Dioxide Regulation With unemployment hovering around 10% nationally and the economy remaining shaky, a bi-partisan group of more than forty senators is cosponsoring a joint Senate and House resolution to prevent unelected bureaucrats at the Environmental Protection Agency from using the Clean Air Act to enact costly regulations of carbon dioxide.
Some Green lobbyists are upset by the resolution. According to NoDirtyAirAct.com, “We must stop this attempt to turn back the clock on the Clean Air Act – a law with a nearly 40-year track record of cutting dangerous pollution to protect human health and the environment and spur innovation.”
But the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation says that the group has its facts wrong. CA

Religion is the root of any culture, and environmentalism has become a full-fledged religion in its own right. It is the most comprehensive substitute in the world today for Christianity so far as world view, theology, ethics, politics, economics, and science are concerned, and you need to understand it in order to counter it effectively, from presuppositions to policies, from classroom to movie theater, from evening network news to Internet and local newspaper.

Climate Policy: Theological, Scientific, and Economic Considerations
Mike Hulme, founding director of the Tyndall Centre and Professor of Climate Change (note that title—not of climate, but of climate change) at the University of East Anglia, home of the Climatic Research Unit, of Climategate infamy, [has identified] “Four Myths” common to environmentalism: Lamenting Eden, Presaging Apocalypse, Reconstructing Babel (promoting technology as the solution to all problems), and Celebrating Jubilee. Keep in mind that Hulme mentored Phil Jones and many other leading “climate scientists.”
Don’t let Hulme’s calling these “myths” mislead you. He doesn’t mean to denigrate them as false. He means to highlight their culture-shaping power, whether true or false…. CA
