The Little Ice Age (1300-1850) and Global Warmists
For my book club, I’m reading The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History, 1300-1850. The title is self-explanatory and the book’s premise simple: Following a fairly halcyon early medieval period that saw global warming, and with it a rare stability in an intensely agrarian world, the world cooled down,
Continue readingMy two cents about solar panels on the White House
I found the report about the White House solar panels interesting. In theory, I think solar panels are a fine idea. In practice, here in the land of PG&E, I do not. You see, we have solar panels. It cost us roughly $15,000 to install them. Before we even purchased
Continue readingThank Goodness! The parodies of the 10:10 “no pressure” mini video have begun *UPDATED*
Unless you’ve been on a camping trip in a remote wilderness for the past few days, you’ve heard about the video that a British climate change advocacy group prepared. The short video takes you through a variety of settings (classrooms, workplaces, sports fields), in which people are encouraged to diminish
Continue readingJust a thought about climate change
Alaska is the land of many, many glaciers. During my trip, I had the great pleasure of seeing Glacier Bay, the Hubbard Glacier and the Mendenhall glacier. They are magnificent. What I found amusing, in an icky kind of way, was the approach the museums, the Park Rangers, and the
Continue readingQuick hits on a sunny Friday afternoon *UPDATED*
It’s the first day of summer for my kids, so I’ve been in mommy mode all day (expect when I was in martial arts mode, which was, frankly, more fun). Things cross my radar, though, and there are three things that came my way that I wanted to put onto
Continue readingThe former Spanish prime minister reminds us that the past had different standards
It tells you how quickly the world is moving that José María Aznar was prime minister in Spain as recently as 2004. It’s impossible today to imagine any current world leader, including our own President, writing this about Israel. I’ve posted Aznar’s message on both of my facebook sites, emailed

I spoke with a fellow parishioner today about our children. This well-meaning, socially aware good fellow (an attorney) was extolling how well his son was progressing in his Ivy League undergraduate education. And, I asked, what was he studying? Environmental sciences. Ah, I said…that’s an interesting and certainly timely field
Continue readingAfter graduation, 32 students attempted suicide
I have to say that this video actually made me giggle, because having all of Al Gore’s doom-and-gloom compressed to less than 2 minutes, and then playing Pomp & Circumstance in the background, is more like a cartoon than anything else. Then again I didn’t have to listen to the
Continue readingI think I’ve finally figured out how to end global warming once and for all
I’ve been following Al Gore’s global warming hysteria with all the attention it deserves. I’ve understood about the boiling frogs; the way he gets to fly around, live in mansions, and drive SUVS, while the rest of us don’t; and our responsibility to use only a single square of toilet
Continue readingDoes algore have any tone other than hysterical?
I truly intended to fisk algore’s op-ed at the New York Times, in which he explains why global warming is still so important that the world should continue its task of turning him into the first green-based billionaire. I was foiled, however, by the fact that I couldn’t step giggling
Continue readingThe importance of remembering that scientists are not mathematicians
I’ve been reading Fermat’s Enigma: The Epic Quest to Solve the World’s Greatest Mathematical Problem, by Simon Singh. Normally, I’d shy away from a book like this — after all, it’s about math! — but it was required reading for my book club, and it’s proven to be delightful. To

I don’t know how people get these to market as fast as they do, but this is one of the funniest Hitler in the Bunker parodies (language alert): [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-PI2vCA9ck[/youtube]
Continue readingAre we finally seeing the death knell for AGW and the IPCC?
I’d like to think that Climategate, this extraordinary winter, and myriad other evidence about the fraud that is Anthropogenic Global Warming will finally de-Gore-ize a scarred world. In a logical place, change should come about given information distributed in posts such as this one, at American Thinker, attacking IPCC methodology

Rod Serling was certainly a creative genius, but who knew he was a clairvoyant, with the ability to predict the future? Or, more specifically, who knew that, back in November 1961, he had the ability to predict the Winter of 2010, a record-breaking American winter playing out against the hysteria
