There are some days, as I peruse the net, when it occurs to me that others must have been trans-versing the windmills of my mind! Yesterday – on the heels of the Pope’s pronouncements – just happened to be one of those days. As I’ve been assiduously assessing the current validity of snippets I’ve gathered…
In the Fall of 2007, Marjorie Mazel-Hecht authored a “Special Report” on the 1975 ‘Endangered Atmosphere’ Conference convened by the late Margaret Mead [h/t reader David R]. Many high profile prophets of doom and gloom were in attendance – as they wrote the “playbook” for what has come to be known as the annual confab…
On the heels of the release of a draft of Working Group I (WGI)’s contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), the U.K. Royal Society, one of the IPCC’s illustrious cheerleaders, has been holding a two-day meeting to discuss this report and the “next steps in climate science”. The…
As anyone with a passing familiarity with the activities of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is aware, later this month (September 23 to 26, to be precise), an unknown number of unnamed “Government Representatives” will gather – along with an unknown number of unnamed “scientists” and an unknown number of unnamed representatives of…
Readers of this blog are probably quite aware that I am no fan of the United Nations … and in fact I have called for a “divorce” from this decreasingly credible bastion of doublespeak and bloated bureaucracy. But yesterday (March 5), there must have been a “blue moon”: The UN actually did something right! As…
Peter C. Glover, has a very succint take on the state of the climateers’ union in today’s edition of The Commentator. As the run-up to the Nov. 26 – Dec. 7 confab of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) begins the charge of the blight brigade, Glover writes (h/t GreenCease via twitter):…
In my post a few days ago, I had observed that the narratives offered by the New York Times‘ Andrew Revkin (and some of his counterparts at other MSM establishments) often struck me as being somewhat shallow in that he seems overly-inclined to rely solely on the word of a climate scientist, simply because, well,…
As I had noted yesterday, the notorious Peter Gleick has been granted absolution by the Board of Directors of the Pacific Institute (PI). PI stonewalled on releasing the name of the firm that did the “investigation” on which they evidently relied, while Gleick’s primary media cheerleader – the U.K. Guardian‘s Suzanne Goldenberg, along with her…
Oh, well … another day, another decision by the CBC to engage in the practice of mediocre reporting characterized by the likes of the U.K. Guardian‘s Suzanne Goldenberg: that of making claims without providing a link to their alleged source, so that the reader may verify the validity of the reporter’s (misbegotten?!) perceptions and/or willful…
