The Commissar has a really interesting article about anti-freeze in the blood stream of "Antarctic Toothfish, a Notothenoid, Dissostichus mawsoni." The dominant fishes in Antarctic waters, the Notothenioids, contain a natural protein anti-freeze in their bodily fluids. (I wonder if a Notothenioid General Ripper might rant and rave about the “purity and essence of our […]

I’m sure that, somehow, global warming caused by Man is the cause The return of a La Nina weather pattern this year will likely mean drought in southern and southwestern U.S. states, government forecasters said on Thursday, adding it was too early to tell if La Nina would also lead to more Atlantic hurricanes in […]

Because global warming is now responsible for every type of weather. Including cold periods Freezing weather continued to take its toll across Europe, with the number of dead in Poland rising above the 200 mark since the start of winter. Temperatures fell as low as minus 35 Celsius (minus 31 Fahrenheit) in parts of Poland […]

Now, I like Tony Blair, and I applaud him for his environmental stances, and the fact that he does care about the potential for global warming. But, again, the data being provided has too much of "if ifs and buts were candies and nuts we’d all have a wonderful Christmas." The threat posed by climate […]

I have said time and time again, give me proof that global warming is at least party Man’s fault, and I will believe it. At this point, I am not even sure that global warming is even happening. Perhaps we are just going into a warmer phase, which happens. I ran across Kevin Drum’s site […]

There was a time when I actually thought highly of Al Gore, at least his environmental policies and viewpoints. Then, alas, he went insane, and has now become part of the problem for environmentalism to be taken seriously, rather then as full of kooks. Case in point: Has ever a little indie film faced a […]

Yet another Global Warming project that misses the mark People can’t take steps to reduce global warming unless they know how much they are contributing to it. Using that belief as a starting point, environmentalists and Silicon Valley companies rolled out a new plan Thursday to help South Bay businesses and the public compute how […]

Happy Hump Day, y’all. Jebediah here. I truly love the title of this story: "Baffled Scientists Say Less Sunlight Reaching Earth." After dropping for about 15 years, the amount of sunlight Earth reflects back into space, called albedo, has increased since 2000, a new study concludes. That means less energy is reaching the surface. Yet […]

Way back, from around the mid 700’s into the 1100’s, there was a period of time called the Medieval Climate Optimum. This was followed by a much colder period, known as the Little Ice Age, followed by our current age. The MCO was characterized by warmer temperatures. How about a few quick facts from the […]

Red Orbit provides us with Deep planning (from a Philly Inquirer article): Jan. 21–The message to the Bush administration on global warming couldn’t be clearer: Do something. Since 2001, climatologists, environmentalists, economists, world leaders, governors, senators and business executives have been begging President Bush for something more than another study or voluntary cutbacks by industry […]
