Every time there is a hurricane, drought, flood, etc…, or when a daily, weekly or annual temperature breaks a record certain scientists take the opportunity to opine, that while this or that particular record heat wave or hurricane can’t be tied to global warming, its is the kind of pattern that the models and theory [...]
Various news outlets have been forced to note in recent months what the I and others have noted for a number of years already – global warming, by which I mean an actual rise in global average temperature as predicted by all the climate models and theories that blame the rise in CO2 for the [...]
A web site called “Information is Beautiful” has an infographic it claims demonstrates the damage being done by carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. The graphic, however, shows how disingenuous the environmental left can be when it comes to climate science. Rather than using the “consensus” science, the graphic goes out of its way to [...]
I don’t know if it is serendipity or what, but during the last week several articles have popped up on my computer with similar theme: How liberals are increasingly shedding their humanist pretentions and showing (their true) misanthropic nature. The Scientific American brings us a story, “The Left’s War on Science,” in which Michael Shermer [...]
Recently, the New York Times – the paper which with great conceit considers itself the national paper of record – posted a blog: Not Even Close: 2012 Was Hottest Ever in the U.S. It then went on to note the divergence of 2012’s U.S. temperature record from the average.

My first post in the New Year covers a number of interesting items that I’ve noticed receiving too little coverage in the past few days. Guns: Despite what the general public is led to believe by media coverage (perception is not necessarily reality folks) rifles, including the faux military rifles, are used to kill fewer [...]
A report in the USA Today found that “green” schools in other states don’t actually perform as promised. The report, “Green Schools: Long on promise, short on delivery,” gave this example from the Houston Independent School District: The nation’s seventh-largest school district added features such as automated light sensors and a heat-reflecting roof, in hopes [...]
And so comes the beginning of the end the Kyoto Protocol, with whimper rather than a bang or the sounding of a gong. The year 2013 is fast arriving and the Kyoto protocol on climate change has no successor. Though almost no one has noticed, the United Nations is holding its annual “We’ve got to save [...]
It didn’t take long for California’s “cap and trade” program under AB 32 (the “Global Warming Solutions Act”) to deteriorate into just another slush fund for political officials to spend on their favorite projects. Of course, the purpose of cap and trade funds is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The state of California has adopted [...]
Back in 2003, Michael Lewis wrote “Money Ball,” a book about how an Oakland, CA baseball team under head coach Billy Beane used player statistics to hire team members that gave them the greatest chance of a championship season at the lowest cost. So by 2009 it was pretty clear what was coming when President [...]
