Think Climate Alarmism is Dead? Go to a Blue State

Created to Reign ·

2026/02/20

With headlines declaring the end of climate extremism and federal withdrawals from global climate bodies making waves, many are celebrating what looks like a turning point. But is it really over? In this episode, David R. Legates argues that while the federal government may be stepping back, the climate agenda is far from defeated. From sweeping state-level “NetZero” mandates to massive electrification plans, offshore wind expansion, hydrogen schemes, and the redesign of entire communities, t...

Does Capitalism Harm the Environment?

Created to Reign ·

2026/02/13

Is capitalism wrecking the planet—or is that the biggest environmental myth of our time? From Naomi Klein in This Changes Everything to Karl Marx in Das Kapital, and even Pope Francis in Laudato Si', influential voices have argued that free markets are fundamentally incompatible with environmental protection. The claim is bold: if you care about the Earth, you must abandon capitalism. But does history actually support that narrative? In this episode, Cal Beisner launches a powerful new series...

Use It or Lose It: How the Electric Grid Works

Created to Reign ·

2026/02/06

Most people think the electric grid is a giant battery—store power when there’s extra and pull it out when you need it. Simple. And completely wrong. In this episode, David R. Legates explains how the electric grid actually works: a just-in-time system where electricity must be generated and consumed almost simultaneously. Using clear analogies, he walks through generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption—and shows why reliability depends on energy sources that can be used w...

Blaming the Weather for Your Migraine

Created to Reign ·

2026/01/30

Migraines are a debilitating neurological condition affecting millions—and no one who has experienced one takes them lightly. In the United Kingdom alone, an estimated 10 million adults suffer from migraines, costing millions of lost workdays each year. So when headlines recently declared that scientists have pinpointed a reason migraines are on the rise, it sounded like an important public-health breakthrough. But there was a familiar twist. According to the popular press, the cu...

Keep Your Hands in Your Own Pockets

2026/01/23

$7.56 billion. 321 grants. One federal judge. And a big question: who should be spending your money? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner breaks down the Department of Energy’s attempt to cancel billions in clean-energy and climate grants—and why a federal court just forced those projects back onto the taxpayer’s tab. Were the terminations a long-overdue effort to stop wasteful spending? Or a politically clumsy move that handed the courts an easy win? We unpa...

NCAR, Alarmism, and the Federal Gravy Train

Created to Reign ·

2026/01/16

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has been called the “mothership” of climate science. So when reports claimed the Trump administration was planning to shut it down, the reaction was explosive—headlines screamed “destruction of knowledge” and “war on science.” But is that what’s actually happening? In this episode of Created to Reign, David R. Legates cuts through the hysteria to examine what the administration really said, what NCAR was created to do, and how de...

God Never Lost Control of Creation

Created to Reign ·

2026/01/07

Psalm 104 offers a bracing corrective to the modern habit of treating the world as fragile, chaotic, or fundamentally out of control. In this episode of Created to Reign, Cal Beisner walks through one of Scripture’s most vivid portraits of creation—not as a system teetering on the brink, but as a world actively governed, sustained, and ordered by God’s wise and joyful providence. Adapted from Cal’s book Psalms of Promise, this episode explores what Psalm 104 teaches about God’s ongoing ...

This New Company Lets You "Save the Planet" for $9.95

Created to Reign ·

2026/01/02

Some efforts are so disproportionate to their impact that they border on the absurd—like bailing out the ocean with a teaspoon. In this episode of Created to Reign, David R. Legates takes aim at one such effort: a Silicon Valley–style geoengineering startup selling “cooling credits” by launching weather balloons filled with sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. On paper, the idea borrows from real science—volcanic eruptions do cool the planet, after all. But when you scale the math, the...

More on the Greenhouse Effect

Created to Reign ·

2025/12/22

In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. David Legates revisits the most controversial sentence he’s ever spoken: “Carbon dioxide contributes very little to the greenhouse effect.” That single line has earned him everything from eye-rolling to outright insults—but it also reveals how deeply misunderstood the science has become. Dr. Legates breaks down, in plain language, why CO₂ is only a minor player compared to other greenhouse gases, why the famous “1.5°C tipping point” is more politics th...

Is The Science Really Settled?

Created to Reign ·

2025/12/19

Sometimes new research genuinely advances our understanding. Other times, long-standing claims quietly fall apart. In this episode of Created to Reign, David R. Legates walks through two major developments in the climate literature from late 2025—one newly published paper that challenges prevailing assumptions about sea-level rise, and one highly influential paper that was abruptly retracted after its conclusions proved unsound. Together, they raise serious questions about how confident polic...

Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

2025/12/19

What wiped out the great American Chestnut Tree—human industry or nature itself? The answer might surprise you. In this episode, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner revisits one of North America’s greatest ecological losses to reveal how the near-extinction of the American Chestnut wasn’t caused by human greed or deforestation, but by a natural fungal blight. He explores how this “Redwood of the East” once shaped American life, and how its disappearance challenges the common environmentalist claim that hum...

What You Need to Know About Natural Asset Companies

2025/12/12

What are Natural Asset Companies, and why did 24 states fight to stop them? In this episode of Created to Reign, David R. Legates explains how NACs would turn the ecological “value” of forests, watersheds, and other natural areas into tradable corporate assets—placing control of land use in the hands of investors rather than owners. Proponents claim NACs unlock new money for conservation. Critics warn they threaten property rights, restrict access to land, raise food and energy prices, and op...

In this special Christmas episode of Created to Reign, Cal Beisner steps away from the usual discussions of environmental stewardship and economic wisdom to explore a different kind of wonder. Drawing on Virgil’s Eclogue IV—a poem early Christians saw as foreshadowing the birth and kingdom of Christ—Cal traces how its imagery of peace, abundance, and restored creation resonates through history and culminates in one of the greatest musical works ever composed: Handel’s Messiah. From Virgil’s p...

Roman Catholic leaders are sounding the climate alarm again—but are their claims grounded in reality? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner takes a hard look at the latest warnings, from Laudato Sí to the Claretian Missionaries’ “Glad You Asked” podcast, and tests them against the actual data on natural disasters, global temperatures, and the world’s energy use. The episode breaks down why dire predictions of worsening hurricanes, droughts, floods, and fires don’t match l...

The German Idi-oddessy

2025/11/21

Germany has long been considered an industrial powerhouse—but in recent years, its energy policies have charted a path that looks less like progress and more like self-inflicted decline. From shuttering reliable energy sources to binding one of its most prosperous cities to an aggressive net-zero mandate, Germany’s “energy transition” raises a serious question: is this bold environmental leadership, or a slow-motion economic unraveling? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. David Legates e...

Did Bill Gates Do a 180 or a 360?

2025/11/18

Did Bill Gates really change his mind about climate change—or did he simply repackage the same old alarmism with softer language? In this episode of Created to Reign, Cal Beisner revisits Gates’s much-discussed COP30 “memo” and explains why the tech billionaire’s supposed turnaround may be less of a 180 and more of a full 360. From Gates’s past rhetoric to the fine print in his latest statements, Cal uncovers the qualifiers, the quiet continuities, and the strategic reframing behind the hype....

2025/11/08

Should the EPA repeal its 2009 ruling that declared carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases a danger to public health? The answer could reshape America’s entire climate policy. In this episode, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner sits down with renowned physicist Dr. Will Happer—emeritus professor at Princeton University and former JASON advisor to the U.S. government—to discuss the EPA’s proposal to rescind the so-called “Endangerment Finding.” Together, they unpack the scientific uncertainties, legal a...

Has Bill Gates had a change of heart on climate change? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. David Legates explores the tech billionaire’s surprising “strategic pivot” — from alarmist rhetoric to emphasizing poverty reduction, innovation, and human welfare. Drawing on Gates’ own words and reactions from figures like Michael Mann and The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Legates asks: has Gates truly joined the ranks of climate realists, or is this just a softer shade of alarmism?

When Hurricane Melissa tore through the Caribbean as a Category 5 storm, many rushed to blame its strength on manmade climate change. But is that claim supported by the data? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, President of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, examines what history and science actually reveal about hurricanes and climate change.
