Central government policies; Science funding & policy

The attempted cures for climate change are generally worse than the disease--especially for the poor. In this groundbreaking volume, experts in all the fields related to climate change explain for laymen what we know about climate change and evaluate from a Christian perspective the proposed responses.

Demands to transform the global energy infrastructure to depend heavily on wind, solar, and other renewables are harmful to people in America and the world-especially to the poor. Meanwhile, continued large-scale use of traditional energy sources like nuclear, hydro, and fossil fuels would reduce poverty while doing less harm to the environment.

Climate and Energy Policy combines outstanding climate science, physics, economics, environmental science, political science, ethics, and theology to present a well-reasoned understanding of human-induced climate change and how to respond to it.

Reviews for Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism

"""A must-read for every open-minded person seeking a better understanding of these complex issues."" --Edwin J. Feulner, Ph.D., founder and former president, the Heritage Foundation ""A strong case for the middle ground between denying climate change and catastrophizing it...."" --Joseph Schaafsma, professor emeritus, Department of Economics, University of Victoria ""Everything you ever wanted to know about global warming is here, in a style anyone can understand."" --Neil L. Frank, Ph.D., former director, U.S. National Hurricane Center, and former chief meteorologist, KHOU-TV Houston ""I highly recommend this timely book for anyone trying to make sense of these issues."" --Guillermo Gonzalez, Ph.D., astronomer, Tellus1 Scientific, LLC, co-author of The Privileged Planet ""In a world filled with climate hysteria, calmer, more reasoned voices carefully study the science, weigh the facts, and offer realistic assessments and solutions."" --Janet Parshall, nationally syndicated radio talk show host ""In these pages, scientific experts explain in nontechnical language why we need not fear man- made catastrophic global warming."" --Wayne Grudem, Ph.D., Distinguished Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary ""Powerful evidence that man-made warming does not threaten human or planetary well-being and that its benefits could outweigh its costs."" --Gregory Rummo, lecturer in chemistry, Palm Beach Atlantic University ""These authors are willing to question orthodoxy and follow the science where it leads."" --Douglas W. Domenech, former assistant secretary, U.S. Department of the Interior ""When a field of immense complexity like 'climate' is presented as 'settled, ' that reader is being gaslit. This collection is a healthy antidote."" --Richard Lindzen, Ph.D., professor emeritus of meteorology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ""Will doubtless prove to be of great value for thoughtful, Bible-believing Christ-followers who desire to be well armed for debate on these critical issues."" --Tony Perkins, president, Family Research Council"
