I started this blog on Dec. 6, fully expecting it to be a relatively quiet corner of the blogosphere. In the interim, few have chosen to comment, but many have viewed. Much to my surprise – just before the clock struck midnight – last night WordPress stats indicated that this blog has had 1,001 views.…
With most MSM currently focusing on the aftermath of the latest foiled terrorist attack, one can well imagine that proponents of the “science is settled” crowd are desperately hoping that Climategate will retreat to the back-burner of public consciousness. No doubt the coalition of willing “science” journalists will be somewhat disheartened by an editorial in…
A few days ago, I once again wandered into the CBC “science” news wasteland. There I discovered yet another of their selections to add to the annals of the Church of Settled Science. [Dec. 30, please note Updates at end of this post. -hro] Scientists map speed of climate change Quoting from the article, I…
It is fairly common knowledge that the Great Green Hope (aka Almighty Stopper of Global Warming, Obama) in His infinite wisdom has declared that He will invoke His great green power to bypass Congress and use the EPA – whose “knowledge” seems to depend on the very dubious proclamations of the IPCC – to implement…
I very rarely watch TV news – I find the blatant biases of the major networks about too many matters to be an insult to my intelligence. Came across a link via Climate Audit to Dec. 7 coverage of Climategate by YLE, a Finnish TV network. English text is superimposed, making the broadcast quite accessible…
Back on Dec. 6 (when this blog made its modest debut), I had commented on a Nov. 11/97 E-mail (signed by CRU’s Mike Hulme and Joseph Alcamo [now the “Chief Scientist” of the UNEP, a parent organization of the IPCC]) soliciting endorsement of an EU “Statement of European Climate Scientists on Actions to Protect Global…
In the wake of “Climategate” and the aftermath of the Copenhagen CarbonFest, it’s been interesting to watch the increasingly incoherent “responses” by dedicated cyber foot-soldiers, steadfastly clinging to the tenets of the “Church of Settled Science“. The following is an excerpt (via WUWT) from an analysis by the Pew Research Centre. Considering the known flaws…
Poor Al Gore (not to mention poor CBC – and David Suzuki, along with Bob McDonald, aka the Canadian High Priests of the Church of Settled Science) I’m a Bridgeplayer, so – with your indulgence – I’d like to review the bidding (Note to fellow-Bridgeplayers: [Spoiler] Alert – this is a grand slam, doubled and…
Bob McDonald is the CBC’s “science” maven who has a “BLOG” which uses rather outdated technology. Today, McDonald decided to grace the blogosphere with an expression of his deep disappointment in the outcome of the Copenhagen CarbonFest: Copenhagen summit: Eyes wide shut [03/20/2013 link updated -hro] While the climate talks in Copenhagen become stalled by…
Victor Davis Hanson, whose writings are always worth reading, offers some advice to the Copenhagen CarbonFest participants … particularly the movers and shakers, via The Corner on National Review Online: Five Green Commandments. Given the disturbing news about the growing green business empire of Gore, Inc., the private jetting by grandees into Copenhagen to harangue…
