If you haven’t yet been over to Anthony Watts’ site to read this piece by Willis Eschenbach I really do encourage you to check it out. It’s rather long, but Eschenbach demonstrates what climate “scientists” are really saying when they talk about “value-added data.” Eschenbach demonstrates that climate scientists are real fans homogeneity – they […]
Back in high school my liberal feminist history teacher did an excellent job of illustrating the worldview of the American Indians as they sold their land to European settlers – she offered to purchase the air above our heads. You see, the Indians couldn’t conceive of owning land any more than you or I can […]
For the past couple of weeks the blogosphere has been buzzing over the “climategate” documents. I managed to download a copy of the documents, but work, reading for pleasure and Modern Warfare 2 have prevented me from going through them. Luckily, others have more time and more personal interests at stake. The analyses of the […]
From Peter M. Hekman of San Diego, in The San Diego Union-Tribune re: nuclear power. Read the whole thing, but this is the paragraph that won it: I can factually state that more people died in the back seat of former Sen. Ted Kennedy’s car than have ever died as a result of an accident […]

Today's Wall Street Journal likens the leaders of the G-8 to King Canute who famously commanded the tides to stop. Do I need to add "unsuccessfully?" Canute's spirit was back in business this week at the G-8 summit in Italy, where the assembled leaders declared that the world's temperature shall not rise: "We recognize the […]
That seems to be what one of the unintended consequences behind last week's cap-and-tax bill would be if it becomes law. According to Robert Zubrin of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, the bill will have the effect of increasing organic farming -- because fertilizers and pesticides will be prohibitively expensive.

The House is scheduled to vote on the Waxman-Markey cap-and-tax bill tomorrow. Only in the bizarro world of Congress can elected representatives pass a massive tax hike in the middle of the worst economic crisis in at least 30 years -- in the form of a bill most of them haven't even read.
