Hmmm
Pope Francis, unsurprisingly given the name he has chosen, devoted quite a bit of time to the environment in his inaugural homily. We shall have to see whether the conclusions drawn by this reporter (for Religion News) reflect his own … Continue reading
The Eternal Appeal of the Apocalyptic
Posted earlier on the Corner: It helps sell religions, movies, political agendas: Is there nothing that the prospect of apocalypse cannot do? Via AP: Abel Ferrara made his new film “4:44 Last Day on Earth” to serve as a wake-up … Continue reading

If Only It Were About The Science
Cross-posted over at the Corner Britain‘s winter snows generate an interesting reaction from Spiked‘s Brendan O’Neill. Here’s an extract: …I’m not one of those people who believes snowfall necessarily disproves every claim made by warming-obsessed climatologists. Rather the snow crisis … Continue reading
Apocalypse Postponed
The reason that stories of apocalypse run through so many religions is partly due, I suspect, to the persistent and widespread belief that this wicked old planet needs a sharp sheep-and-goats moment and, also, to the fact that the end of the world is … Continue reading

The Church of Climate Change: Some Movement in The Pews
This press report is interesting, not only for what it contains (some tricky questions about Chinese climate data on urban ‘heat islands’ ), but for where it appears – in the Guardian, a center of AGW orthodoxy. The Guardian‘s writer concludes … Continue reading

The Church of Climate Change: Whitewashed Sepulchure Watch
One of the features of a good number of religions is their tendency to urge asceticism /simplicity/don’t bother with all those material things on their followers. Another no less striking feature of those same religions is the way that such hair … Continue reading
