Freedom of Movement

Some years ago, the point was made that freedom of movement was an essential component of American freedom.  I wish I could relate the source of my enlightenment on that point, but it escapes me at the moment.  I’ve always remembered it on some level, because it is so obviously true on so basic a …

Food Shortages? Explain this.

A recent article warned that because of (global warming/climate change/al gore’s bank account) the world was in danger of increased food shortages.  As usual, the gist was that the evil West is abusing the planet and the innocent, helpless third-world is starving. I’ve long questioned the logic of turning food crops into (heavily subsidized) fuel …

Life: More GW propaganda?

Visually interesting, pretty damned amazing series, actually. I don’t even mind listening to Oprah’s mildly annoying voice (more suited to bedtime stories than something you’d want to stay awake for). At least until they got to the part about polar bears, and had to throw in the usual “swimming for their life”, “melting ice” crap. …

Brrr. That was warm.

Don’t worry about your heating bill from last month. Global warming (err, climate change!) scaremongers are hard at work denying your lying eyes. World warming unhindered by cold spells: scientists “January, according to satellite (data), was the hottest January we’ve ever seen,” said Nicholls of Monash University’s School of Geography and Environmental Science in Melbourne. …

Garbage in… Global warming out

So Phil Jones, the guy who invented the centerpiece of AlGore’s little PowerPoint presentation, has no fracking clue what happened to the records he based the climate scare on.  He’s a (now) self-admitted disorganized piss-poor record keeper. Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational …

Science at work

I don’t get it.  If so many climate scientists have done so much research that “the debate is over”, then why do we still get treated to such emotional bullshit as this? “This is probably just a perception, but I just have the feeling that the glaciers are melting, the snow capping the mountains is …

Why they don’t call it “Global Warming” anymore

Time to edit that PowerPoint presentation, Al! For the second time in little over a year, it looks as though the world may be heading for a serious food crisis, thanks to our old friend “climate change”. In many parts of the world recently the weather has not been too brilliant for farmers. After a …

Fever Pitch Fanatacism

President ‘has four years to save Earth’ Soaring carbon emissions are already causing ice-cap melting and threaten to trigger global flooding, widespread species loss and major disruptions of weather patterns in the near future. “We cannot afford to put off change any longer,” said Hansen. “We have to get on a new path within this …

Big Fat Hypocrite

Meet the Nobel Prize winning, self-aggrandizing, unparalleled scam artist that is Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. Yes, the creator (and single greatest benefactor) of the carbon offset, is an energy sucking behemoth. Go figure. Energy Guzzled by Al Gore’s Home in Past Year Could Power 232 U.S. Homes for a Month In February 2007, An Inconvenient …

Why would scientists lie?

Painting by numbers: NASA’s peculiar thermometer Viewing the NASA 250-mile map for March below, what immediately grabs the attention is that NASA has essentially no data (gray areas) in most of Canada, most of Africa, the Greenland ice sheet, and most of Antarctica. This begs the question, how can one calculate an accurate “global temperature” …

“The greatest scam in history”

I’m guessing John Coleman doesn’t get invited to ride on Al Gore’s private jet… Weather Channel Founder’s Forecast Currently, John Coleman is a TV weatherman for KUSI News in San Diego. But Coleman is most famous for being founder of the Weather Channel. He has had a long career in predicting the weather, working for …
