Climategate: Once Respected Nature Now Staffed By Moaning Ninnies
The once-respected science journal Nature recently published a whining editorial to the effect that climate scientists are not criminals, really; that attacks on them by increasingly-skeptical news media are soooo unfair; and that the fundamental science showing that the planet is doomed unless the economies of the West are ... »
Climategate: ‘The Science is Settled,’ They Told Copernicus
The overwhelming reaction of the sixteenth century scientific community to Copernicus’ new book On the Revolutions, first published in 1543, was contemptuous rejection. The Greek astronomer, Aristarchus of Samos, had proposed in the third century B.C. that the Earth was the third planet from the Sun, and not the center of... »
The Climategate Whitewash
Since Climategate, it’s been clear that the UK Met Office and the UN Climate Czars would need to investigate themselves before anyone else did, and equally apparent that they would find little fault in themselves. Results of their “reviews” have the feel of partially digested left-overs from last night’s bongy bash. The UK Met Office... »
Al Gore Appears–Note to Warmers: No More Do-Overs!
Al Gore made an appearance on a Norwegian television program last night. (approx. 40 min, 42 to skip chit-chat) A more impressive move would have been to have accepted the invitation to appear before the US Senate, which could conceivably lead to criminal charges. He has thus far failed to convince the world that the... »
Climategate: More Science Fiction from the IPCC
I’ve always thought the IPCC should be considered science fiction rather than science. Literally. Jack Vance, described this past summer in the New York Times Magazine as “the greatest living writer of science fiction and fantasy,” used the acronym IPCC in his futuristic Demon Princes novels to represent the Interworld Police Coordination Company —... »
How It All Ends : The Dumbest Video on the Web
If I tell you that it has to do with global warming, your interest level might drop a thousand fold. Stupid “climate change” videos are everywhere, including classrooms where unsuspecting children have their reason replaced with biodegradable compost. But in the spirit of Alfred Nobel, the prize goes to a video that has had... »
Global Warming Advocates : Two IQ Points Short of a Pin Head Perhaps
Bill Nye. OK, here’s another one. What do normal people call a prolonged heating of the Earth’s atmosphere? ……… Summer. MSNBC’s Bill Nye “the science guy” has been the regular butt of jokes as a result of his ceaseless and absolute defense of the global warming industry; with “scientific” arguments that include the fact that... »

Climate: New Warming Expected, An Obviously Unbiased Report
Inspired for the most part by an article written by Guardian science correspondent Ian Sample, some by an article by Pulitzer Prize op-ed columnist Thomas L. Friedman in the New York Times, as well as others I’ve read over the past couple of years, I decided to try my hand at environmental journalism. Feel... »

NASA Climate Data Verses the Conspiracy to Commit Good Science
With so many revelations of fraud in support of the man-made global warming, it has gotten much more difficult for propagandists to contend that science is on their side. NASA has a well-earned reputation in science and technological advancement. Surely one might think that if NASA is worried about global warming then we should... »
Evolutionary Psychology: Science the Culture of Doubt? Never Happen.
Scientific inquiry is separated from ideological rigidity by a willingness to entertain questions and admit doubt. The giveaway of ideology is emotional hostility to skeptics. Evolutionists today have it in spades. Just as the church once reacted punitively to Galileo for abandoning the party line, so do ideological evolutionists to those who do not... »

Deprogramming Yourself After Global Warming Scam
Confronting your own false beliefs can be a daunting task, even more so when coupled with an overwhelming level of corruption in the world around you, steering you the wrong way.

Orwellian Nightmare: Science Is Whatever ‘the Party’ Says It Is
Last week I was on a university panel formed to debate the issue of science and religion. My argument was the same one I’ve been making for years: given the known laws of physics — in particular, general relativity (Einstein’s theory of gravity) and quantum mechanics — we have no choice but to conclude... »
