In the UK, summer doesn’t officially end until the 22nd, so even though I’ve been doing plenty of baking with apples and plums and we’ve had squashes delivered in our vegetable box, I’ve taken advantage of that extra time to finish a couple more summery books.

“Others’ profit, our downfall? Lithium and other metal mines, as well as catastrophic pollution, are coming to us! It’s time for united resistance!” – environmentalist sign in Lopare, Majevica.

Let me stress that the blog is not back, as such, not up and running as in days of yore. I'm just putting out the occasional piece.

One of the ways Progressive Christians involve themselves in activism is through Environmentalism. “Creation Care,” as it is now called, shifts the focus from worshiping Christ to worshiping creation. This paradigm says that the greatest crisis in the world is a dying planet—rather than perishing souls lost in sin. While the Bible calls us to steward and care for the earth, it never makes this our highest priority. Yet, climate change has become a tool for social and spiritual restructu...| Berean Research
Like many environmental scientists, early exposure to nature sparked my interest in the field. But so did the 1990 video game SimEarth, game studio Maxis's first release after SimCity.

How did Critical Race Theory, Critical Theory, Marxism, Feminism, and all sorts of other Leftist ideas enter the pulpits of churches and denominations around the world?

As I stated in Part 1 of my series on Progressive Christianity, this movement isn’t just another interpretation of faith—it’s a direct challenge to biblical truth. It twists God’s Word, questions long-held doctrine, and reshapes Christianity into something unrecognizable. It’s Carnal poison. You might think this is about politics. It’s Continue Reading| Berean Research

In its drive to stop climate change, the Justin Trudeau government in 2022 mandated that Canada get to a “net-zero” power grid by 2035, a time-frame subsequently extended to 2050. But is that feasible? In this exclusive analysis, nuclear physicist Jim Mason crunches the numbers to determine what would be required to replace electricity from fossil fuels with zero-emitting power. It turns out it would take so long and cost so much – hundreds of billions of dollars – that the policy is ...| C2C Journal

It’s a central tenet of the free-market economy: a corporation’s job is to maximize investment returns to its shareholders. Bluntly, to make money. And “shareholder proposals” have been a powerful tool enabling investors to pressure a company’s board to take a particular action to increase its value. In recent years, however, activist groups have been weaponizing shareholder proposals to pressure companies into pursuing ideological goals, especially environmental and “progressive...| C2C Journal

Strategy games go hand in hand with war and conflict. Why is this and what are the alternatives? The majority of strategy games revolve around conflict and war. It’s hard to even name a non-violent strategy game outside of abstract games like Go or Draughts. Even these games are arguably an abstraction of conflict, pitting two players in direct opposition. War and conflict are historic realities and sadly will continue to be in the future. So it’s right for games to explore this space. Wi...| Crystalline Green
Even in the virtual world, saving the rainforest is not straight forward For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been playing a game called Eco. The premise is simple – A meteor will crash into your planet in 30 days. Starting from the stone-age, build up a civilization capable of blasting the meteor to pieces and thus saving the planet. However, you need to do it without destroying the natural environment in the process. The catch is it’s an online multiplayer game. You need to cooperate wi...| Crystalline Green
