Isaiah 31: 5-7—“Like flying birds so Yahweh Sabaoth will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it; He will pass over and rescue it. Return to Him from whom you have deeply defected, O sons of Israel. For in that day every man will cast away his silver idols and his gold idols, which your sinful hands have made for you as a sin.”

Shalu shalom Yerushalayim: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. (Psalm 122: 6)

Scripture of the day:

Isaiah 31: 5-7—“Like flying birds so Yahweh Sabaoth will protect Jerusalem.  He will protect and deliver it; He will pass over and rescue it.  Return to Him from whom you have deeply defected, O sons of Israel.  For in that day every man will cast away his silver idols and his gold idols, which your sinful hands have made for you as a sin.”

SnyderTalk Commentary: The Old City of Jerusalem. Some people today refer to it as East Jerusalem. They are wrong. In Yahweh’s eyes, there is no “East Jerusalem”. The Jewish people in Jerusalem have a mandate from Yahweh. They belong there, and their presence in Jerusalem is fulfillment of prophecy. Please do not fall into the trap of believing that world leaders can devise a plan that will nullify or even alter anything Yahweh has said. It is foolishness for them to even try, but they will, and the consequences will be catastrophic.

Climate Change Update:

THIS WEEK by Ken Haapala, Executive Vice President, Science and Environmental Policy Project

In recent months, global warming alarmists have lamented that they need to do a better job communicating to the public. Apparently, they have found their voice in: argumentum ad hominem. Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway have authored a new book titled “Merchants of Doubt.” TWTW (The Week That Was) will reserve specific comments on the book until later. For now, it is sufficient to discuss the review of this book, and eight others from the alarmist chorus, by Philip Kitcher, Department of Philosophy at Columbia University, as published in Science Magazine. One quote from the book, used in the review, provides an adequate summary:

“There are many reasons why the United States has failed to act on global warming, but at least one is the confusion raised by Bill Nierenberg, Fred Seitz, and Fred Singer.”

Governments have spent tens of billions of dollars on global warming alarmism. The environmental industry has spent hundreds of millions touting it. Yet, these three gentlemen are singled out as a principal reason for the derailment of the global warming express. Their powers of persuasion must be super-human.

Throughout his review, the good Professor of Philosophy fails to differentiate between Medieval science, when knowledge was believed to come from authority (expert opinion), and modern, empirical science where knowledge comes from rigorous application of the scientific method – with all relevant physical evidence considered. He considers expert opinion satisfactory.

The Professor states that the issue may be too complex for many to understand. That argument would, of course, apply to both sides. But complexity is not a sufficient reason to accept the views of those who claim to be authorities, yet ignore the physical evidence contradicting their views.

[Full disclosure: The late Fredrick Seitz was Chairman of the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) and S. Fred Singer is the founder and current Chairman of SEPP. Both founded the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC).]
