You could just imagine some people at the UN building screaming and gnashing their, having to be physically held back, over this release Cancun climate change summit: glaciers increasing despite climate change Glaciers in many parts of the world are increasing, according to a new United Nations report, despite climate change.

You said you wanted more hysteria, here you go In the next decade, the effects of a rapidly warming climate could kill 5 million people—as many as live in Singapore or Finland. More than 99 percent of those deaths will likely occur in developing countries, and almost four-fifths are expected to happen in South Asia […]

It’s windy outside, here in Raleigh. It snowed yesterday, certainly not the earliest (that was October 24th, in 1887, 1903, and 1910), but highly unusual, especially to get a 1/2 to 1 inch. The Colts are now 6-6. My NJ Devils suck beyond belief. Apple still hasn’t lowered the price of the iPad. I blame […]

Obviously, the correct thing to do if your pet cult is dying is to provide more scientific proof, right? RIGHT?

Yet more hysteria. And, bad science. Very bad science One of Earth’s biggest stores of carbon dioxide sits locked within the decaying vegetation found in peatlands, which range from tropical peat swamps to Arctic permafrost. A fast-warming world could transform those peatlands into a “compost bomb” that would dump huge amounts of carbon into the […]

Sometimes I think I should type these posts in all CAPS to match the hysteria of the Cult Of Gore disciples Even if we stopped spewing global warming gases today, the world would face a steady rise in food prices this century. But on our current emissions path, climate change becomes the “threat multiplier” that […]

Funny how all these years later, people are still pulling “awareness” stunts instead of, you know, actually living a carbon neutral life. It’s almost like they want someone else to pay the price Students at the University of Guelph shed their clothing Wednesday to protest the Conservative government’s climate change policies. Specifically the students were […]

Sadly, you can’t really call be too critical of her, because actual scientists and people in the know hold the same idiotic notions: Helena Christensen calls for action on climate change The supermodel, who is a global ambassador for Oxfam, visited villages in the foothills of the Himalayas to see first hand the effect of […]
