VoiceofSanDiego.org has published a softball Q&A with Art Cooley, who helped found the Environmental Defense Fund, entitled "The Guy Who Defeated DDT." Of course, the outright ban on DDT which Cooley and his friends succeeded with decades ago also resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of Africans from malaria. I especially loved this […]
Yesterday, Gallup released poll results showing that more Americans than at any time in a decade believe the reporting on global warming is exaggerated. Unfortunately, at 41 percent, skeptics still remain a minority -- even though it is a sizable one. And skeptics are a minority up with which Al Gore will not put. As […]
There's a new paper out that is pouring some cold water on the climate change alarmists. I'll try to explain this in layman's terms, because the science can be difficult even if you do follow it rather closely. Carbon dioxide -- manmade or otherwise -- is a miniscule gas in the atmosphere, even growing as […]
The climate continues to change, because that's what it does. In actual science related news, a satellite designed to find "missing" C02 didn't quite make it into orbit this week after the payload fairing failed to separate. The fact that this science even needed to be done is evidence that scientists don't really explain how […]
Chris Field is a climate "scientist" who, when his hypothesis is disproved, doubles down. "We now have data showing that from 2000 to 2007, greenhouse gas emissions increased far more rapidly than we expected, primarily because developing countries, like China and India, saw a huge surge in electric power generation, almost all of it based […]
First, Oregon proposed tracking drivers using GPS in order to levy a tax for roads, bridges and other assorted infrastructure. Now, Massachusetts is proposing a very similar plan that would embed a tracking chip inside the registration sticker of cars registered in that state. In case you missed it, Big Brother is a liberal and […]
I got done listening to NPR's Intelligence Squared U.S. debate podcast on the motion: "Major Reductions in Carbon Emissions Are Not Worth the Money" on the drive home from work. The debate featured Bjorn Lomborg, author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist" as one of three people arguing for the motion. The debate was very interesting. To […]
During the campaign, conservatives bashed then-candidate Barack Obama for this remark: "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said. "That's not leadership. That's not going to […]
The Huffington Post has an article up attacking Al Gore and his global warming alarmism. Go read it before it's gone.
Al "The Goracle" Gore has made a prediction, and I'm willing to bet everything I own (which, sadly, in this economy isn't much) that Gore is wrong. Entire north polar ice cap will be gone in 5 years. Is the man a liar or a fool? Or both? On a related note, the Associated Press […]
