An interesting Russian article telling us why a cold spell soon to replace global warming.

According to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works…
Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called “consensus” on man-made global warming.
Surely that cannot be correct! I mean we have consensus, right!? Right…?

I firmly believe someone who commits acts of violence is responsible for those actions no matter their “environment” but when we start talking about kids it gets a bit murkier. While gamers and Hollywood deny their “media” does not induce, cause or lead to violence the escalation of youth violence over the past decade warrants […]

An interesting look at the dangers of radiation in the Spiegel article Nuclear Exaggeration: Is Atomic Radiation as Dangerous as We Thought? We know there are dangers in radiation and to error on the side of caution is prudent. But with a couple of real world population center detonations studying the effects is also prudent. […]

We all know that the surging hurricane activity is because of global warming, right? That because of “Man” hurricanes such as Katrina will become more frequent and stronger. That’s why we’ve had such horrific damage caused to the United States this year from these catastrophic hurricanes… er… oh.. guess not!
Does that prove anything other […]

Bjorg Lomborg’s op-ed in today’s Washington Post, Chill out is a good read as Bjorg usually is:
something that’s rarely mentioned is that temperatures in Greenland were higher in 1941 than they are today. Or that melt rates around Ilulissat were faster in the early part of the past century, according to a new study. And […]

I love it when radical enviro nutjobs actually reinforce a few points the *global warming is hooey* crowd have been discussing for several years. In their plight to wake up their own, much of it on target as far as it goes, Nordhaus and Shellenberger aren’t doing the big-business and political wing of “global warming” […]

Now that the Northwest Passage is open they’re blaming it on global warming? The Northwest Passage is one of the most fabled sea routes in the world, not because someone centuries ago saw it on a satellite image. but because sometime in the past the route was navigable. That’s how it became a […]

Three fast and fun “global warming” articles in one day is just too great for me to pass up especially when all three give at least some nod to the missing “consensus” we’ve all been hearing so much about.
First is about Reid Bryson, known as the father of scientific climatology who considers global warming […]

I’ve read some asinine statements from the environmental wackos over the years but this has to be the worst thus far. That human greed uses most solar energy. I think they could have made their point by completely leaving out the solar thing and focusing on the percentage of land used to grow crops rather […]

Its a quick read on the lack of a global warming consensus among scientists; They call this a consensus?
in 1992. Amazingly, he made his claims despite much evidence of their falsity. A Gallup poll at the time reported that 53% of scientists actively involved in global climate research did not believe global warming had occurred; […]

Yet another study showing some pretty dramtic results with stem-cell treatments of diabetics. Yet another study showing some pretty dramatic results using adult stem-cells. For all the crying for public money for fetal stem cell research all they’ve accomplished with them is learning to create cancer - they call them “tumors” though - […]

Nice article at Reason Magazine A Tale of Two Scientific Consensuses on the politicization of “consensus” on two separate issues: Global Warming and GMO’s. Interstingly its another “follow the money” things - there is money in a “consensus” on global warming where as there is money in not having one on genetically modified […]

More on the probability that global climate changes are more due to solar activity than anything else.
Wow… amazing.. who would have thought of that?

Interesting if obvious, the belief in reincarnation may be tied to memory errors. Naturally anyone who has met anyone who really believes in reincarnation knows that these “memory errors” are the least of their problems….

Yet another refutation of the “scientific” global warming “consensus” this time by an MIT prof No Such Thing As a ‘Perfect’ Temperature - Leadership and the Environment.
“Consensus” - I don’t think the word means what they think it means…

I have heard this reported from sources other than VEI which instantly disqualifies the information in the eyes of any Global Warming leftist but the fact that the US Doing Better Than its Kyoto Critics on CO2 are easy enough to verify with a little judicious googling and library research.

I must say I really
love this guy. I don’t know any of his politics, what I love is that he doesn’t govern by pop-culture which is the real quagmire the US hasn’t been able to get out of since 1965.
Global warming is a myth and every serious person and scientist says so. It is not […]

The real inconveneient truth.. it’s the sun, stupid

Nice of the weather channel to consider Global Warming unworthy of debate. As a matter of fact the evidence is so concrete, in their view, that they feel skeptics should loose their AMS seal of approval. I’d stop supporting the weather channel… but I don’t have cable…

January in Indiana is what we Hoosiers refer to as “cold”. Now you folks up further north such as the Dakota’s would consider our “cold” rather balmy in comparison but to Hoosiers it’s still “cold”.
So here it is the 5th of January and as you can see by the timecode on this […]

Over the last decade and a half I’ve observed a Darwinian microcosom at Casa Pointman. It seems possums like cat food as much as the cats so one of the chores I relish is running off the little buggers and dispatching the retarded ones with prejudice when they won’t take a hint and go […]

Someone with too much time on their hands came up with an intersting little test to see how honest or dishonest people are by age, gender and race. I’ll tag this one under “Science” since I don’t to add “Bored” as a post category at this time.

Those following global warming know the most contentious point in the whole debate is Man’s own role in it. I’m on the side of any warming being naturally occurring as warming and cooling cycles through 6 centuries are fairly well documented and as of today it looks as though even the UN may be […]

Could the artic ice sheets actually be growing?
