President Bush, as presidents have always done, has invited this year's American winners of Nobel Prizes to the White House to be honored. Yes, this includes Al Gore. The Gore camp said the White House went out of its way to accommodate the former vice president's schedule, even moving the event when there was a […]
Boy, the timing is almost perfect. On Saturday, the U.N. Intergovernental Panel on Climate Change told us that the world is going to end. Opening with a sweeping statement directed at climate change skeptics, the summary declares that climate systems have already begun to change. Unless action is taken, human activity could lead to "abrupt […]
On Thursday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals -- the most-overturned circuit in the land -- ruled that the Bush administration's fuel economy/pollution standards are too lax. Now, I'm all for increased fuel efficency. If Detroit (and Europe and Japan) could make a safe, spacious SUV with enough power to merge safely into freeway traffic […]
Just a quick follow-up on last week's decision by a bunch of silly people to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore for talking a good game (but having a bigger carbon footprint then some small towns) on global warming, but not actually doing anything. The Wall Street Journal published a modest list of […]
Someone help me out here. How exactly does a crusade against global warming tie in with the whole "Peace" idea? On a related note: Anyone want to put down some odds on the method of transportation Gore uses to fly across the pond to pick up his prize?
A couple of interesting notes on the global warming front: First, a British court has ruled that Al Gore's global warming propaganda flick, "An Inconvenient Truth," contains 11 falsehoods. For the record they are: The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this […]
Today's San Diego Union-Tribune has an article on the shrinking Arctic ice and its potential to cause drought in Southern California. A few thoughts: First, Southern California is a desert. I've lived in San Diego County for most of my life and there have been drought conditions more often than not. This time we apparently […]
If you're at all interested in global warming, or long for the good old days of programming in Fortran (who knew I would've been better off learning Fortran than Pascal in high school?) then you should check out some of the analysis going on over at Climate Audit. Steve McIntyre and friends are trying to […]
A federal judge in San Francisco of all places has tossed out state Attorney General Jerry "Space Command" Brown's lawsuit (originially filed by his predecessor) that sought to sue auto manufacturers for global warming. But District Judge Martin Jenkins in San Francisco handed California Attorney General Jerry Brown's environmental crusade a stinging rebuke when he […]
If you're interested in global warming and are familiar with shell scripts and Fortran, you can now access the code written by NASA's James Hansen on the taxpayers' dime. Hansen continues to come across as a horse's behind as he reluctantly released data that we paid for. Because the programs include a variety of languages […]
