Yes, wholesale killing of lawyers isn't the most reasoned or practical approach to solving the problems that face society today. However, when lawyers start suggesting ideas like this one, I may just reconsider. Stephen Hockman QC is proposing a body similar to the International Court of Justice in The Hague to be the supreme legal […]
Steve McIntyre has made a name for himself by exposing faulty math and dishonest statistical analysis with regard to anthropogenic global warming. He was the guy who exposed the infamous Mann "hockey stick" fraud that disappeared the medieval warm period and falsely claimed to prove that the Earth's temperature is hotter today than at any […]
The latest update on the dynamically-updated sea ice extent graph shows some good news for those poor polar bears. The chart only goes back to 2002, because that's when the satellite that's doing the measuring was launched. But it now shows that there is more sea ice at this time of year than there has […]
Last summer the global warming alarmists were predicting an ice-free arctic. One environmental activist vowed to kayak to the north pole to highlight the dangerous global warming. Well, the arctic didn't become ice-free and that poor kayaker had to turn back. Anthony Watts has been watching the numbers, and after a record-low sea ice coverage […]
Sometime back, a scientist suggested that one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent global warming would be to toss a bunch of sulfur into the air. The sulfur would reflect solar rays -- and therefore heat -- back into the atmosphere. You do enough of it, and the Earth would cool. This was tested […]
If you've had the unfortunate experience of having to watch Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," then you've seen the graph known as the hockey stick. It's called the hockey stick because it looks like a hockey stick laid on its side with the blade pointing up. It's also a crock. First, you'll notice if you […]
In the past couple of years my reading on climate change has consisted of ClimateAudit.org and WattsUpWithThat on the Web and the book "Unstoppable Global Warming." Yesterday, I finished "Climate Confusion," by Roy W. Spencer, a book perfect for the layman ("Unstoppable Global Warming" is a little more on the heavy side) when it comes […]
Al Gore's got a new houseboat named "Bio-Solar One. Yes, BS-1. I can't make this up. The boat is a custom-built Fantasy Yacht built specifically for Gore by Bill Austin of Sparta, Tennessee. According to Austin, the engines are bio-diesel fueled and Gore can expect to use about two gallons an hour to cruise Center […]
Yes, an earthquake hit southern California shortly before noon Tuesday. It was magnitude 5.4. Yes, most of us noticed it. No, no one got hurt. No, nothing was damaged. We've been through it before. It'll happen again. There was no reason for the news channels to run all-quake, all-the-time for the next three hours. The […]
Here's a couple must-reads for those iinterested in the hoax that is anthropogenic global warming. First is an article by David Evans, who for six years was the Australian government's Kyoto protocol compliance guy. 1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it. ... 2. There […]
