Doubling Alberta’s natural gas production could slash global CO2 emissions
If someone told you they were desperate for work, but refused to apply for any jobs, you’d understand they shouldn’t be taken seriously. As Jesus tells us, we can judge a tree by its fruit (Matt. 7:15-20).
So, when climate catastrophists steer us away from fossil fuels and nuclear energy too, that’s some fruit. Solar and wind might be their ideal, but these are more expensive than fossil fuels, and higher energy costs would hurt billions. Nuclear does have considerable downsides, but it is the only CO2-free energy source that could produce the energy we need at the prices we’d need to fill the gap that banning fossil fuels would create. So, to not have it as an option is to mark these “environmentalists” – their fruit shows them to be either uncaring or naive.
Now Alberta is offering the country another option – natural gas. It’s still a CO2 emitter but an improvement on coal and other CO2 sources. This option could effectively scrub all of Canada’s CO2 emissions. Great news, right? Well, we’ll see if the federal government thinks so. Their response will provide us with some more fruit we can assess.
Answering kids’ hardest questions…
“Why can’t I have screen time all the time, Mom and Dad?”
“Maple-washing” misleads the public
Does buying Canadian really have an impact on American producers? Not if those “Canadian goods” are actually American. It seems some stores are mislabeling goods to funnel patriotic outrage towards padding their bottom dollar.
Ontario shows why euthanasia “safeguards” can’t work
“Ontario’s euthanasia regulators have tracked 428 cases of possible criminal violations — and not referred a single case to law enforcement, say leaked documents.”
Murder is the unlawful and euthanasia the lawful taking of a human life. So what would it be then, if someone committed euthanasia unlawfully? Well, isn’t an unlawful taking of a life murder?
But how many doctors do you think would be willing to do a procedure that, if they ever didn’t do it quite right, would send them to jail for murder? Not many, right? That kind of chill might put an end to euthanasia altogether. And that’s what pursuing these 428 cases could do for any doctors considering killing as their living – put a chill on that So, for euthanasia to be both legal and available, the government is motivated to overlook any irregularities.
Jeff Durbin: A bro in a skirt doesn’t care about biology (or logic)
God’s people too often seem intent on logic-ing our culture into the Kingdom. We address sins like abortion and transgenderism with arguments that are common sense but not specifically Christian – we channel Ben Shapiro and Pierre Poilievre but we don’t talk about God.
And how’s that working out?
We’ve misunderstood the fight we’re in. This isn’t a debate that we’ll win on points. What we’re contending with is a rebellious world that needs to be called to repentance by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We profess that God’s Word is “like fire…and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces” (Jer. 23:26), it is “alive and active, sharper than any two-edged sword” (Heb. 4:12), and “it will not return to Me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Is. 55:10-11). What might God work through us, if we were willing to stand with Him instead of just with logic?
