As of this moment, it’s raining here in beautiful San Luis Obispo and we’re well over the rainfall we typically get for the year here. This is undoubtedly due to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. On a related note, there’s been a bit of a dust-up in the climate alarmist world since the publication of […]
Al Gore on the massive snowstorm blanketing most of the country: Last week on his show Bill O’Reilly asked, “Why has southern New York turned into the tundra?” and then said he had a call into me. I appreciate the question. As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for […]
Today’s global warming scaremongering brought to you by LiveScience.com: Even if humans stop producing excess carbon dioxide in 2100, the lingering effects of global warming could span the next millennia. The results? By the year 3000, global warming would be more than a hot topic - the West Antarctic ice sheet could collapse, and global […]
Here’s some links that I’ve had up in my browser window for a few days: Surprise, Obamacare costs more, helps fewer than originally predicted The announced expectations was that it would attract 375,000 people by the end of the year. It has only 8,000 enrollees, which means it missed its mark by 97.9%. If any […]
Proposition 23 in California will suspend the state’s global warming law until the state unemployment rate falls below 5.5% for 4 consecutive quarters.

First, we have the Democratic Senate candidate from South Carolina, Alvin Greene. The only thing funnier than O’Donnell’s ridiculous questions are Greene’s ridiculous answers. You want some evidence the media leans left? Greene has received just a fraction of the attention for his wackiness that Christine O’Donnell has. Last week there was a big hubbub […]
A couple of interesting global warming tidbits from this past week. First, Hal Lewis of UC Santa Barbara has resigned from the American Physical Society. Why? When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money flood (a threat against which […]
James Cameron, director of “Avatar,” doesn’t like people who challenge the anthropogenic global warming orthodoxy. He's famously said he: “want[s] to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads.” Cue Brave Sir Robin: From Not Evil, Just Wrong: It looked like James Cameron really was a […]
Anthony Watts has a piece over at his blog on a new paper that’s been accepted by the Annals of Applied Statistics that turns Penn State climatologist Michael Man’s hockey stick into little more than a bent branch. Here’s the new graph. Not so scary now is it? However, the more interesting graph comes via […]
Britain’s Guardian newspaper held a debate a couple weeks back over the Climategate scandal. The panel featured Steve McIntyre, proprietor of ClimateAudit.org and debunker of the infamous hockey stick graph. You can find a brief summary of the debate here.
