Climate change cult fails to convince
The liberal cultist editorial on "climate change" is nonsense. There is no scientific consensus that global warming is even taking place, let alone that it's serious. There are numerous scientific reasons why it doesn't exist.
1. The temperature of Earth has been essentially flat for the last 17 years, and even Phil Jones from the University of Anglia now admits this is true.
2. Tens of thousands of mainstream scientists do not agree that "global warming" is taking place at all.
3. Arctic ice is not decreasing, and is in fact expanding and has gotten 50 percent bigger since 2012. Al Gore's silly prediction that it would be gone by 2013 has certainly not come true.
4. Careful analysis shows that 95 percent of climate models used to predict "global warming" have turned out to be wrong.
5. Most predictions about the impact of "global warming" also have turned out to be false.
If the climate models, predictions and data used by these people are not even close to being correct, how can a rational person be expected to believe in this totally fatuous theory?

Consider another viewpoint for giving
In response to Free Press columnist David Martin's recommended books for Christmas giving, I suggest some less conservative writings:
* "The Half That's Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism," by Edward Baptist, a native North Carolinian who exposes the truth that wealth and power of American capitalism is rooted in slavery and govern mental support. Beneficially, he is noting current ramifications.
* "George Washington Carver," by Eva Moore, is about an American slave who was rejected by slave thieves, raised by Christians, was the world's greatest agronomist, and in the light of Christ became the savior of the South's postbellum era.
* "The Complete Stories of Paul Laurence Dunbar," edited by Gene Andrew Jarrett and Thomas Lewis Morgan, is what it is titled. The author's gentle protests, loving humor and literate dialect provide colored light for the learner.
* "River, Roads, and Ridges" is my 36-page collection of poems, essays and other forms of verbal communication. Inquire at
gratiacantus@epbfi.com.
* "The Holy Bible," by many publishers. It proves, "The first shall be last and the last shall be first."
