Dr Roy Spencer Rips Climate Scientists – “Ashamed For Our Scientific Discipline”

And I’m glad Dr. Spencer is coming out and calling it like it is. It’s not often you hear a distinguished scientist rip into his colleagues as Roy Spencer does at his blog here yesterday. His essay is a reaction to the House vote to suspend the funding the corrupt IPCC. Here are some excerpts: On […]

Yasi Traumatizes Crocodiles

Some things are just so silly that they have to be mentioned. The online The Star Phoenix reports on yet another victim of cyclone Yasi (climate change) that hit Australia some days ago – crocodiles. According to The Star Phoenix: A group of ferocious Australian crocodiles were so traumatised by a maximum-strength cyclone last week that […]

Beyond The Political Energy Tipping Point – Leaders “In A State Of Shock”

Having invested so much in renewables, the German government and Greens apparently are having great difficulties in coming to terms with the recently discovered huge reserves of cheap shale gas worldwide. This source of energy is not only affordable for consumers, but it is relatively environmentally friendly as well. But exploiting the gas would require […]

Obama Meets With IT And Internet Bosses – To Create Jobs?

I get really nervous, I have to admit, when the President of the United States, who happens to be a leftist ideologue, sits down with really powerful people who happen to be the biggest players in the US Internet and communication technology. Politics the Chicago-way is not exclusive to Chicago. This is the table where […]

How Rampant Is Plagiarism In Climate Science?

Germany’s Defence Minister (Dr?) Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg is under heavy fire amid allegations he plagiarised other works and included them in his doctoral thesis, read short report here. Unlike Climategate, the media here is doing its work and reporting on these developments which are now breaking, thanks in large part to the work of bloggers. The case against […]

Another German Professor Rejects Climate Catastrophism

A new book written by University of Konstanz Professor Gerd Ganteför is now being released by science publisher Wiley VCH: Klima – der Weltuntergang findet nicht statt (Climate – The End of the World Called Off).

A Level Look At Sea Levels

Head for the hills folks! Sea levels are rising. But first read Ed Caryl’s latest essay on sea levels. It sure helps ignoring the climate catastrophe cultists for a few minutes and taking a sane look at the data. ——————————————————————————— A Level Look At Sea Level By Ed Caryl One of the tenets of the […]

Journal Sees Risk Of Energy Civil War In Germany – Socially Explosive

It’s logical. Bad science leads to bad policy, which leads to bad decisions, which in turn inevitably leads to costly results. Destructive “solutions” A perfect example is the science behind palm oil plantations for producing biofuel. Here the costs outweigh the benefits probably 1000 to 1. But can you even put a price tag on […]

From Hockey Sticks To Boomerangs

The Swiss online NZZ from Zurich has a report on a recent multiple-proxy temperature reconstruction produced by a Swedish team of scientists. It wasn’t that long ago when European media outlets were saying Mann’s old hockey stick was settled science – that is until a series of scientific and statistical analyses by leading experts debunked it […]

Europe’s Palm Oil Devastation – Scorched Earth To Save The Planet

See video in German: Report München on biofuels It’s yet another glittering jewel of an example of the destruction wreaked by the AGW cult movement. […]

The Climate Catastrophism Cult

The prophets of doom and gloom insist the end is coming and that we must fight to save the planet. Join the movement for salvation. It’s supposed to be based on science and data, yet whenever data that contradicts the end-of-world claims appear, which is often, the prophets take on an us-versus-them approach, often portraying […]
