Yesterday I noted that Grist is really bummed over the lack of climate change (hoax) discourse at the DNC abortionfest. Alas, it’s worse than they thought (Daily Caller) Though the 2012 Democratic Party platform declares that the “national security threat from climate change is real, urgent, and severe,†it is apparently not urgent and severe […]

Over the past few days we’ve been treated to a constant litany of news that wonders if it is proper for the GOP to hold their convention at all, much less toning it down, as Isaac has been churning in the Gulf of Mexico. This notion ramped up when it looked like Isaac was going […]

An interesting question posed by the NY Times. We’ll skip the part in how the threatened lawsuit by Michael Mann would somehow be like the Scopes evolution trial Certainly, the idea of a courtroom review of the foundations of climate science —and of its professional standards and ethics —had immediate appeal when Dr. Mann announced […]

One of the main problems I have with terming things “green” is that it is no longer about the environment, but about reducing CO2, ie, the carbon footprint. That, and that the Warmists go way, way, way overboard. Here’s Grist In 2009, Seattle set out to to create the next generation of cutting-edge green buildings […]

Jo Nova explains In June this year the UNEP report announced that Global Renewable Energy investment reached $257 Billion in 2011.

In all fairness, Obama is still pushing “green” energy funding, but, let’s face it, he’s pretty much abandoned anything to do with “climate change”, and most of those loans are payback to campaign contributors (Human Events) It has been a long time since we heard the term “global warming†from the mainstream media and the […]

Writing over at Wired, Matt Ridley exposes the constantly litany of enviroweenie/Warmist prognostications of doooooooom, along with other end of the world as we know it crazies (via Climate Depot) Apocalypse Not: Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Worry About End Times When the sun rises on December 22, as it surely will, do not expect apologies […]

For all the bitching and moaning at the NY Times, I triple dog dare them to give up their own air conditioning…..yeah, I know, good luck with that! THE blackouts that left hundreds of millions of Indians sweltering in the dark last month underscored the status of air-conditioning as one of the world’s most vexing […]

ManCrush by Warmist Chris Mooney (Grist) I don’t normally do this. But right now, I am going to come out and gushingly endorse a book: climate blogger Joe Romm’s Language Intelligence: Lessons on Persuasion from Jesus, Shakespeare, Lincoln, and Lady Gaga. Everybody who cares about why science doesn’t get through to the public should read it. […]
