Have you ever wondered why your flood insurance doesn’t pay off when your house burns to the ground? No? Well, then you’re smarter than that guy in the White House. When I was young, just got out of college, I had to buy auto insurance. I had a beat-up old car. And I won’t […]
Dr. Judith Curry – a climate scientist who is an Anthropogenic Global Warming alarmist, but not an elite member of “the team,” i.e. Gavin Schmidt, James Hansen, Phil Jones – has offered up a proverbial olive branch in the interest of “rebuilding” the “trust” the climategate scandal has demolished.
