The United States: On the Road to Post-Christendom?

I have written a personal perspective of the year - and look ahead to the next year - at the request of my good friend John Van Dyk, editor of the excellent US/Canada Reformed magazine Christian Renewal, for the past five years.

Here, at the new CR website, is an excerpt from the one published - as above - in their first magazine of 2013.

Global Warming Just Isn't Happening: Official

Two decades of no warming...and that's official. But when will 'popular science' (not to mention dull-witted journos politicos) get the message?

Green hypocrisy as Al Gore Sells Out for Petro-dollars

I don't normally link both versions of an article in separate posts...but Energy Tribune's graphic to go with the piece (above) is a good one. And here's a taster:

The fact is, Al Jazeera is funded by the oil-rich Qatari government and has long been considered a tool for the oil-rich monarchy which heavily subsidizes fuel prices. Qatari drivers only pay around $1 per gallon at the pump. Which helps to explain why, as I pointed out in Kyoto: The Last Rites, in the league of the highest per-capita greenhouse gas emitters, Qatar ranks no 1 in the world.

So if you, as a strongly committed green idealist, were reviewing the offer you could only conclude that Al Jazeera would fit the bill for an ‘unfit prospective buyer’. Not so Al Gore. According to the New York Times which first broke the story, Gore and his colleague’s wanted the deal pushed through before January 1, 2013 to avoid being hit with higher taxes. The same higher tax regime that Gore and his Democratic Party backed to ensure the rich would pay their “fair share”. For Gore, personally pocketing $20 million in greenbacks clearly trumps planet-saving hair-shirtism.

Planet Gore Sells Out to 'Big Oil' Al Jazeera

If you wanted an example of hard-nosed moral hypocrisy ...  you can do no better than check out Al 'high-priest-of-climate-alarmism' and his selling out of 'green' ideology for petr0-dollar greenbacks.

UK's New Year Shale Gas Resolution

My above article of the year published here at Energy Tribune.

David Cameron Must Sack Energy Secretary Ed Davey - and soon

My latest article spelling out who "we're all in this together" apparently doesn't apply when it comes to imposing a raft of new green energy levies. For the full article go to Energy Tribune (US) or to The Commentator (UK).

Greenpeace-WWF Wind Claims Blown Away

John McCarthy once said, "He who refuses to do the arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense". Or become politicised tin-shakers pushing absurd "independent economic analysis" it seems.

The above is a quote from my article published this week debunking the latest Greenpeace-WWF propaganda - a report that claims the UK economy would benefit from windfarms more than from its domestic gas resources (inlcuding its world class shale gas reserves) by 2020.

Knowing the real energy facts and data, I nearly fell off my chair laughing at this one.

Cameron's Same-Sex Marriage Blunder

"Unfortunately for the theologically (and politically) challenged, church-going Cameron, God has never been a liberal when it comes to the state usurping his eternal laws.

In fact, he can downright bigoted about it."

A quote from my latest article published this week in my collumn article (now as Contributing Editor) at The Commentator UK news site.

Terry Waite: Just a Fool (not a 'fool for Christ')

This picture in today's Sunday Telegraph underlines once more Terry Waite's foolishness. Waite may be a fellow Christian but a 'fool for Christ' he is not...he's just a fool.

Forgiveness IS central to the Christian message but that does not extend to 'break bread' with unrepentant terrorists or going down to the pub with them. Hezbollah remain thoroughly unrepentant about Waite's incarceration specifically...but worse than that is they still carry out these acts of terror daily.

Waite may not care for his own safety but its the cost he puts the country to to get him out of the messes he gets himself into that makes him a dupe. I  do not doubt his bravery but then man brave men have been, and are, fools.

UK energy bill reforms triple green subsidies

Iran's Gazan Proxy War

Evidence for how Iran is pulling all the ocnflict strings on Israel's borders - and is using Palestinian Hamas as its regional pawn in pursuit of its nuclear strategy...in my latest article. Go here to Energy Tribune.

Obama Energy Mandate: More Oil and Gas

So much for the democratic mandate of the well-heeled environmental lobbies...the President's election mandate, it turns out, is (strong cross-party support) for more domestic oil and gas.

The Entitlement Society and Spanking Liberals

So what's the key nexus between the above two things?

Women Bishop's Are Against God's Teaching. End of Story.

Archbishop Williams thinks the "church has lost credibility". Well it never actually had much during his tenure. Its no surprise that the secularist liberal-dominated media should be thoroughly in tune with the liberal hierarchy of the Church of England - those who empty God's word of meaning - on yesterday's 'no' vote on women bishops.

Having voted down yesterday the C of E is being hammered by every punid able to get in front of a microphone. All on the basis that men and women ought to be 'equal'.

Of course, men and women ARE equal before God - but that is not the same thing as having distinct roles, as the Bible points out. Who cares how disappointed the liberal hierarchy that have grasped their way to top jobs at the top of the Anglican Church are? God has spoken in his Word (the Bible): no women in key oversight roles of bishop or as minister (though other roles are valid) either.

Bottom line: if it is not acceptable to God, neither should it be acceptable to any Christian either. What anyone else outside the church thinks is entirely immaterial - its a matter for the church and only the church.

The Next Oil Revolution

Along with a few others who have swum against the tide of media ignorance, I have been saying for years how the peak oil (we're running out of oil) alarmists were dead wrong. Now everyone knows they were. Here's a piece from me just published spelling it out further.
