On being a climate change skeptic
I thought Evan Sayet’s column on being a climate change skeptic was a good rebuttal to abc’s claim that I am an intellectual troglodyte, corrupting my child.

At least one person can no longer be conned
My 13.5 year old glanced at this article and then walked away. I asked, “Aren’t you going to read it?” She shrugged. “It just says that global warming’s basically a fraud. I already knew that. We need to care for our environment, but the world isn’t coming to an end.”

I’m heading out now but, when I have more time, I’m going to sit down and read very carefully Steven Hayward’s post giving his idea about an intelligent way for conservative candidates to deal with the climate change issue while on the campaign trail.

I suspect that this has been happening for a while, but I only became aware of it now: my kids’ science classes are using animals as a way to bring children into the environmental, global warming movement. This is more than lonely polar bears standing on shrinking icebergs, an iconic

Watch the EPA guy wiggle and squirm as he tries to avoid acknowledging that the EPA, in promulgating its regulations (without any oversight from The People), the EPA couldn’t care less about the effect its regulations have on jobs: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHlWdZgJcRY&feature=player_embedded#at=174[/youtube] Hat tip: Earl The Bookworm Turns : A Secret Conservative

To get from my house to the freeway, one needs to drive down a fairly well traveled four lane access road (two lanes in each direction) that’s a little over a mile long. The speed limit on the road varies between 30 and 35 miles an hour. There are three

I know that we have been round and round on climate issues in our always edifying Bookworm Room discussions, so here is an interesting lecture that I found at our friends at Flopping Aces. The lecturer, Prof. Courtillot, professor of geophysics at the University of Paris, does an excellent job
Continue readingExperts and the Temple of Orthodoxy
Most of us here in the Bookworm Room express a healthy skepticism of “experts” in general. Most of us revel in our ability to think and discourse critically for ourselves, while others lament that socially-anointed “experts” are not solemnly revered through incense, incantations and burnt offerings made before the Temple

Are we entering the next ice age? One of the foundations of scientific inquiry is skepticism. Contrary to what some believe, science is not about consensus but about leaving all doors of inquiry open to all possibilities. It takes only one point of evidence to disprove an entire theory. Progress
Continue readingCorrupt science and climate
After reading this excellent article, it’s clear that, even if there is anthropogenic global warming, we’ll never know, because agenda-driven “scientists” have so hopelessly corrupted the available data that scientific truth is impossible. As it is, you all know that, while I’m an environmentalist (I believe we should cherish our

Track me on this one: 1. With help from Al Gore, Hollywood, and the entire Leftist panoply, global warming fears reach hysterical levels. 2. As part of their apocalyptic battle against rising seas and dying polar bears, warmists declare ethanol is one of the answers (never mind that it turns

Doesn’t the information below about the lying autism/vaccination doc remind you of Green Billionaire Al Gore and his fellow wealth redistribution (into their own pocket) fellow travelers? According to new research published in today’s BMJ, Wakefield’s motive for the fraud was money — and lots of it. Wakefield “planned secret

Every morning, partly out of habit, partly out of martyrdom, and partly out of the same fascination that drives us to rubber-neck roadway accidents, I check out the San Francisco Chronicle on line. It is certainly a nicely laid out home page. It has clear links to its own columns
