Global Warming Hearing Cancelled Because of Snow

Here is an excerpt from a 03/26/13 story published by The Washington Times. An unusually chilly March day and the snowstorm it spawned have shut down much of official Washington on Wednesday — including a hearing House Republicans had called to examine global warming. Didn’t the IPCC say that global warming would result in less snow? [...]

Mother Nature Vs. Climate Models

Here is an excerpt from a New York Times story titled “Anxiety Grows as Thousands Remain Stranded and in the Dark After Storm” dated 10 February 2013. Grabbing shovels large and small, residents and emergency workers across the Northeast struggled to dig out on Sunday after a gigantic midwinter storm left much of the region buried [...]

Koch Industries Responds to ‘Misleading’ UK Articles

Koch Industries recently published a response to the work of UK Independent journalist Steve Connor whose work, Koch says, “misled readers.” The two articles accused Koch Industries of secretly funding attacks on climate change. The articles written by Connor “got many facts about Koch wrong,” according to the open letter published on the company’s website. [...]

Leonardo DiCaprio to Fly Jet Around World To Save the Environment

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio is taking a break from acting to help save the environment by pursuing his environmental activism but maybe someone needs to tell him how “saving the environment” might work. DiCaprio told members of the entertainment media that after doing so many movies in a row he’s tired and needs a break from [...]

Obama Unhappy Global Warming Was Missed at Debates

Obama has for the most part stayed away from the subject of global warming during his campaign for re-election. The President has only infrequently broached the subject on the campaign trail, but on Friday, October 26, in an interview with MTV, Obama delved into climate change more than at any other time to date during [...]

Why is the EPA Funding a Private Newspaper?

The Environmental Protection Agency has been indulging its inner propagandist by spending at least $3.5 million to float newspaper that is purportedly “reporting” on the EPA’s pet issues. Unfortunately for the readers of this newspaper, the fact that the EPA is its sugar daddy is never told the reading public. So much for an independent [...]

Settled Science Now Unsettled

No we’re not talking about global climate change (formerly global warming), but rather the first colonizers of North America. Archaeologists had accepted as settled fact that Clovis people were the true native Americans. Well it turns out that’s not the case. From The Register: The so-called “Clovis First” theory had until 2008 been accepted as [...]

Conservatives Beating Bill Nye the Global Warming Guy, But Obama to the Rescue

=Bill Nye “the Science Guy” and CNN are a bit miffed at all those global warming scoffers. They are winning the public debate, beating the “consensus” opinion that global warming — or globaloney — is poised to destroy the planet. Nye and CNN host Carol Costello both dismissed any climate change skeptics with Costello claiming [...]

“It’s almost as if there is no connection between the green policy agenda and environmental progress”

And the Church of Chicken Little takes yet another hit: Much to the surprise (and, one suspects, the chagrin) of the deranged doomsaying wing of the environmental movement, new forecasts of US CO2 emission are out and they point to an even steeper drop than the last set of predictions. No cap and trade, no [...]

WV Dems Not Thrilled About Anti-US Energy Obama, Voted for Felon Instead

President Obama had an opponent in the West Virginia Democrat Primary and the fella did pretty well, too. Democrat Keith Judd was Obama’s primary opponent for the Democrat nomination for President on Tuesday and he garnered 40% of the cote, too. I’d say that’s pretty good for a convicted felon that is still serving time [...]

Oops! AGW mantra contradicted by . . .

. . . a pesky little thing called science. Quoted below is the abstract of a science article titled “An ikaite record of late Holocene climate at the Antarctic Peninsula”, published by Earth and Planetary Science Letters (Volumes 325–326, 1 April 2012, Pages 108–115). Calcium carbonate can crystallize in a hydrated form as ikaite at low temperatures. [...]

Call in the FeeB’s

Wirefraud and Identity Theft, both Federal offenses, right off the bat. Forgery seems a likely follow on. I’d say those are causes for “concern.”

Climategate’s Watergate

All that is missing is Deep Throat.  The Church of Global Warming has been given another black eye by one of its own leaders. From FOXNews: Theft, deceit and outright lies: How ugly can climate science get? Prominent climate scientist Peter H. Gleick relied on deceit and subterfuge  to solicit a cache of sensitive internal [...]

Heartland Institute: The ‘Gate’ Scandal That Never Was

Global warmists finally have an email “gate” of their own that they can turn against “deniers” and they are taking full advantage of it. The Warmists are excited that the Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based state policy group, has been “outed” for attempting to undermine the religiously held tenets of global warming. Emails to that effect [...]

Himalayas not melting. Panic anyway.

Al Gore probably won’t be please by the following story that was published by The Guardian: The world’s greatest snow-capped peaks, which run in a chain from the Himalayas to Tian Shan on the border of China and Kyrgyzstan, have lost no ice over the last decade, new research shows. The discovery has stunned scientists, who had [...]

What do Evergreen Energy, Ener1, and Amonix, Inc. all have in common?

They all received millions in Stimulus-related dollars from the Obama Administration – $5.3 million for Evergreen, $118 million for Ener1 (as well as a ‘good luck’ visit from Vice President Biden) and $5.9 million for Amonix.  Oh, and they all either developed or manufactured “green energy” components – ‘alternative fuel’ products, batteries for electric vehicles, [...]

Global Warming Dogma Challenged

Al Gore will not be pleased by a particular report published by the Daily Mail.  Here are excerpts from the report: The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years. The figures suggest that [...]

“Computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause”

Don Surber is airing some most inconvenient facts: 16 actual scientists have joined 1973 Nobel-winning physicist Ivar Giaever in calling global warming concerns overblown. In a letter published in the Wall Street Journal today, the scientists called for everyone to remain calm — and mocked the alarmism by UN bureaucrats over global warming and carbon [...]

“Textbook cases of gross lapses in professional ethics and scientific malfeasance”

H. Sterling Burnett is a member of the National Association of Scholars and he’s describing the global warming movers and shakers: Climategate, both 1 and 2, are textbook cases of gross lapses in professional ethics and scientific malfeasance.  To understand why, one must first understand what science is and how it is supposed to operate.

NASA’s Hansen, vicar of the Church of Chicken Little, doubles down

James Hansen’s cash flow must be running a bit low: A new investigation of the ancient climate record shows that time to stop climate change is running out — maybe sooner than scientists had thought. That’s the message from an international team of scientists reporting today at the American Geophysical Union annual meeting in San Francisco (#AGU11 [...]

Heed The Heretic

Over the last week, more documents from the global warming movement came public, casting more and more doubts on the sincerity and accuracy of the scientists who are pushing the anthropogenic global warming theory. My colleague Rodney covered it pretty well.   I didn’t bother. I’ve avoided the whole topic, generally. It’s because I don’t [...]

NBC in the tank for Anthropogenic Global Warming

Well, I expected it to happen, but I didn’t know who would do it. Now I do. NBC Nightly News ran a story in which anthropogenic global warming was blamed for the October snow storm that struck the northeastern USA. The reporter who presented the story is Anne Thompson, NBC’s chief environmental affairs correspondent. From reading the [...]
