Spearheaded by E. Calvin Beisner, who in 1999 composed The Cornwall Declaration on Environmental Stewardship and six years later founded the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism provides a blueprint for changing the hearts and minds of an emerging generation that has been heavily indoctrinated in the belief that planet Earth is “dying” because humanity has sinned by using fossil fuels to escape the drudgery of worldwide poverty.
Beisner and his co-editor, renowned climatologist David Legates, contribute their own chapters and solicited chapters from nine climate scientists, two environmental and energy economists, and two energy scientists/engineers. All the chapters have copious references, and Legates also provides a list of 44 climate change papers dating back to Arrhenius’ 1896 paper that first described the so-called “greenhouse effect.”
The climate catastrophism that permeates “mainstream” rhetoric and policy is described by American Enterprise Institute senior fellow Benjamin Zycher, one of 27 reviewers whose praise for the book is included. In Zycher’s words, “Characterized by an unprecedented degree of scientific dishonesty, bureaucratic empire-building, corporate pursuit of government favors, and media ignorance and biases, the public debate over climate policy has been dismal even by the shameful standards of Beltway discourse.”
