Concluding our impromptu series of citations from Alex Epstein’s book, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels (2014), this week’s post addresses a commonly heard claim by environmental activist-types that has resulted from compounded misrepresentations of actual scientific research. Mr. Epstein, if you will… “This brings us to the oft-cited comment that 97 percent of climate […]

Tonight’s bonus post is the first of two commentaries from Scott Klusendorf, President of Life Training Institute. Though it is pretty much quoted verbatim, I have taken the liberty of adjusting the formatting a little for readability…. “Here’s what I’ve never understood about evangelicals who endorse Biden: Why is Donald Trump’s character an obstacle to […]
