We’re doooooooooooooooooooooomed. Or something. It’s another in a long line of tipping points that never seem to actual happen (Science Agogo) Based on an evaluation of more than 1,000 previous studies, a new meta-review by an international group of 18 scientists suggests the Earth is perilously close to a tipping point where resource consumption, ecosystem […]

One of the talking points for Warmists has been that both the Medieval Warm Period a the Little Ice Age were limited to the Northern hemisphere, and some even go so far as to say they were primarily limited to the European region. There are many reasons they push this, mostly to position those changes […]

Um, oops? (Digital Journal) Solar cells do not offset greenhouse gases or curb fossil fuel use in the United States according to a new environmental book, Green Illusions (June 2012, University of Nebraska Press), written by University of California – Berkeley visiting scholar Ozzie Zehner.

I’d forgotten about this story, I think I caught it the other day through Fark, till I perused Real Science this morning. The story starts out with a bunch of idiocy, followed by a few paragraphs discusses Amendment 1 (which banned gay marriage in NC) which has literally nothing to do with the issue, but […]

The Guardian has been running a series for a bit called 100 months left to save the world. Yesterday they ran an article about Rio+20: don’t wait for disappointment from the bureaucrats, which is a hoot In three weeks the 20th anniversary conference of the Earth Summit will take place in Rio, Brazil. Once again, […]

I love when Warmists sound reasonable, then expose themselves. In this case, Tim Worstall, who starts out by showing a picture of steam venting from what looks like a nuclear power plant, but is supposed to represent Evil CO2. After reasonableness and kumbya, we get The cumulative effect of all of these feedbacks is something […]

Just to be clear, by “climate change hoax” I mean the notion that man is mostly or solely responsible for every change in the weather, known as hotcoldwetdry, and the slight uptick in temperatures since the end of the Little Ice Age. And, in a bit of comical irony, we find out, via James Delingpole, […]

How many times have we been told that the Earth is going to pass some ecological tipping point only to see it pass without fanfare (the SA story even starts by telling us about a failed one)? Here comes yet another (via Tom Nelson) (Scientific American) Don’t look now but we are running in midair, […]

Because the natural world should always stay exactly the same (UPI) The Earth’s dry lands are getting drier and wet ones wetter as climate change shifts and accelerates the globe’s water cycle, U.S. researchers say. Everybody panic!!!!!!1!!!! Changing patterns of salinity in the global ocean during the past 50 years show a clear fingerprint of […]

Good. Grief. Much like Steven Goddard, I have to start this off with a screenshot of the article in order to position the psychopathy of the story Matthew White uses it elegantly in the title of his fascinating new, big and easy-to-read reference book. “The Great Big Book of Horrible Things: The Definitive Chronicle of […]
