UN Climate Body does not back Climate Alarmists’ claims

Tulsa Beacon

Climate alarmists often tell us that their frightening forecasts are backed up by the best available science. In particular, they point to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that they tell us are the gold standard of climate science research. If the IPCC said it, it must be true, they proclaim!…

How to fight the pro-Abortion Climate Scare, part 2

Tulsa Beacon

The modest, beneficial warming that has been experienced across the world since the end of the Little Ice Age, slightly more than 10 Celsius, has essentially stopped, as can be seen in the following satellite-based temperature record. Indeed, the February 2023 “average temperature” was about the same as the 1991 – 2020 average. No informed…

How Pro-lifers Can Fight the pro-Abortion Climate Scare

Tulsa Beacon

In “Using the Climate Change Scare to Promote Abortion,“ my March 21st America Out Loud article, I described how climate alarmists are promoting abortion to lessen our population to supposedly help stop climate change. I also showed that the abortion industry is now citing climate change concerns to promote their agenda as well. But both…

Earth Day betrays the Philosophy of its Founders

Tulsa Beacon

The real founders of Earth Day were not the politicians who rode the wave of environmental consciousness that swept the public in the late 60s and early 70s to establish the logistics of the organization. Nor was it the United Nations or peace and environmental activists who jumped on board the train when it became…

Pro-life movement threatened by the Climate Scare

Tulsa Beacon

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to speak to Campaign Life Coalition Ottawa about climate change and the potential threat that climate alarmism poses to the objectives of pro-lifers. The title of the event is “Why global warming alarmism is a threat to unborn children… and the pro-life movement.” In preparation for the…

Ottawa’s story is a cautionary tale of science being ignored

Tulsa Beacon

Politicians leading the City of Ottawa have fallen hook, line and sinker for climate alarmism and, as a consequence, Canada’s national capital is on the verge of a deadly self-induced crisis. This is being brought on by their obsession with “stopping climate change,” prioritizing it over real world environmental, health, economic and energy supply concerns….

We can’t afford the ‘solution’ to the mythical ‘climate crisis’

Tulsa Beacon

In the 1996 award-winning film Jerry McGuire, pro football player Rod Tidwell had a single demand of his agent: “Show me the money!” “Show us the money” is precisely what thousands of bureaucrats from developing countries will demand of us at the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on…

Letter: Canadians upset about Biden’s Keystone Pipeline shutdown

Tulsa Beacon

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is right to charge the federal government with being weak in their response to President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline. Considering that it will cost Canada billions of dollars and thousands of well-paying jobs across the country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s statement  that, “we are disappointed but…

The Sun has an enormous effect on ‘climate change’

Tulsa Beacon

Democrat Joe Biden tells us in his ten-thousand-word climate change plan that he “has long appreciated the enormity of climate change and has always believed that we have a moral and economic imperative to address it.” That is an understatement. Climate change is, in fact, so enormous that we have no chance of significantly affecting…

Real needs are ignored in the light of ‘climate change’

Tulsa Beacon

In the last presidential debate, Democratic nominee Joe Biden said, “global warming is an existential threat to humanity. We have a moral obligation to do with it and we’re told by all the leading scientists of the world we don’t have much time. We’re going to pass the point of no return with the next…
