Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Am I the only one who has had it up to here and more with the relentless imperative that I buy green? I have this incredible urge to pollute and waste. I do not like being bullied, and I am being bullied. When I’m at the store, surrounded by all
Continue readingI just had to laugh. The New York Times report on the hacked climate change documents starts off pretty honestly: Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate
Continue readingIt’s a story that broke first in Europe, but is making its way here. (I heard about it on NewsFifty, which is constantly adding links.) Here’s the story, briefly: Hadley GRU is one of the major climate change advocacy organizations. Hackers broke into its database and discovered more than a
Continue readingThese stories have nothing to do with each other. I just thought each was interesting, and therefore pass them on to you: Americans are figuring out that global warming is a scam. That “missing link” is too distantt to be missing — and maybe it is connected to the first
Continue readingSadie sent me a great trio of stories today, and I want to pass them on to you: The UN wants to make sure that the Western nation’s efforts to protect themselves against cross-dressing jihadists (you know, those guys who don burqas to hide bombs) don’t offend transgendered individuals (who
Continue readingLast week, the weather forecast was wrong four days out of five, promising sun on rainy days and rain on sunny days. Today, we were warned of “showers.” So far, the non-stop rain has ranged from hard to the kind of downpour that would make Noah feel at home. The
Continue readingIn his latest opining about world events, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has certainly managed to assure that every one of his illustrious predecessors is rolling in his grave. Please recall that Williams is the same Church prelate who advanced Sharia law. He’s now calling for the end of
Continue readingOkay, Steven Chu wasn’t as explicit as my post caption suggests. Nevertheless, buried within his peculiar remarks about companies deserting the U.S. Chamber of Congress is a profound disdain for the American way of doing business: Our energy secretary applauds and encourages companies to leave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Continue readingWell, I don’t actually know what happens to a politically driven scientific consensus about man-made global warming when the underlying data is corrupt. But I can tell you that you can watch this cognitive dissonance begin to play out if you check out the Strata-Sphere post that examines the opinings
Continue readingThe media repeatedly assures us that there is no question — and cannot be any question — about climate change. That particular bit of science is settled, with all the data collected, a position the media holds to strenuously despite significant amounts of data that contradict the claim that humans
Continue readingI’ve got two quick environmental links for you today. The first has to do with pollution. You know that I’ve said at this blog all along that cap-and-trade is stupid, not only because it will destroy America’s economy, but because the really big up-and-coming polluters are China and India. Turns
Continue readingWe have been verbally pistol whipped by Al Gore and his gang of like minded Global Warming-Climate Change-Crap and Trade Thugs. Supermarket items no longer wear the prized badge of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Instead, these products have been replaced with a ‘green message’ – Buy me and
Continue readingMy one and only experience on a cruise ship was some 20 years ago, when I went on a fairly neat Caribbean cruise. I’m not much of a “lie on the beach” person, so I opted for a cruise that would take me to places that offered something to see.
Continue readingOne of the most prescient books that I ever remember reading as a teenager has to be Alvin Toffler’s 1970 classic Future Shock. To recap its theme, Toffler predicted that the pace of new information was increasing at such a rapid rate that it would overcome peoples’ capacities to absorb
Continue readingOne of the major problems conservatives face is the limitations of their own nature. We’re conservative after all. Our passion is putting our heads down and getting on with the work of life: earning a living, raising our families, serving our communities. We tend not to be protesters. Or more
