Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I realize that, with readers all over the world, speaking about “morning” is a bit silly, but I can only function according to the rules of my own time zone. I’m up, but so are the kids, and the “getting ready for school” drill is in full swing. It’s definitely
Continue readingI think we’re all agreed that global warming alarmists have used fraud, blackmail, and blackballing to advance their global warming agenda. The liberal media, if it acknowledges these tactics, is saying that they were simply over aggressive, but that the underlying facts remain true. AJ Strata, however, begs to differ.
Continue readingFrom The Weekly Standard: With the release of hundreds of emails by scientists advocates of global warming showing obvious and entirely inappropriate collusion by the authors — including attempts to suppress dissent, to punish journals that publish peer-reviewed studies casting doubt on global warming, and to manipulate data to bolster
Continue readingAm 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 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 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 readingI blogged the other day about the fact that three Marin County towns had opted out of an expensive green energy plan — and that the local liberal newspaper applauded them. News comes today that yet another town has now decided that the pocketbook trumps Algore induced environmental panic: [Larkspur]
Continue readingGreen is fine if you can be cute about it: cute little hybrid cars, cute little permanent shopping bags boasting about your green-ness, and cute locally grown arugala. But is Green still fine if your City requires that, as a matter of law, you spend up to $30,000 to bring
Continue readingI’m a scientific ignoramus. Although I’ve been skeptical of global warming from the start, my skepticism hasn’t been rooted in a sound grasp of facts and scientific principles. Instead, it arises because of my source problems: I deeply distrust the people touting climate change. From the moment Al Gore started
Continue reading….but you wouldn’t listen. You had to go ahead and do it anyway, and only now, when things are getting serious, are you figuring it out yourself. These are words parents say to teenagers, and conservatives say to liberals. In teenage land, you end up with pregnancies, STDs, and substance
Continue readingI grew up spending a large part of my life at Lake Tahoe. At that time, Tahoe was a brilliant blue and crystal clear. More than a decade ago, after a long hiatus, I returned to Tahoe. I was overwhelmed by the crowds, by the wall to wall houses, by
