Veteran meteorologist Klaus-Eckart Puls of the European Institute Climate and Energy (EIKE) has sent over some slides from a presentation showing Germany’s mean temperature has been cooling over the last decades. A couple of days ago a certain reader named Neville (Warming-In-Our-Time) (or was it Neven? whatever…) was complaining that the Eastern Alps were not representative […]

Attention skeptics. Greenpeace International is calling to make executives liable for funding “climate denialism“. This would be tantamount to abusing the legal system as a weapon to harass and shut down freedom of science and the fundamental human right of freedom of expression. Are bloggers next? The next obvious step would be to go after bloggers […]

Settled science becomes unsettled again. The online Swiss Berner Zeitung here has an article reporting on how scientists have underestimated the role on climate that the globe’s semi-arid regions are playing.

Lately I’ve been reading up a lot on nutrition, and I’m finding out that the riff-raff and fraud that are rampant in the food and pharmaceutical industry is even more cold-blooded than the playground kind of stuff we see in “climate science”.

At their Die kalte Sonne site here, Fritz Vahrenholt and Sebastian Lüning write how a philosophy professor and a communication professor tried to portray climate science skeptics as ‘conspiracy theorists’ and how their attempt backfired. It’s the latest example of German academia trying to smear those who express other views made in the true spirit of science. ********************************* Scientists […]

European parliamentary elections are slated to take place May 22-25 and parties critical of the Europe’s course on a variety of issues, ranging from the euro-currency, bailouts and climate change, are faring well at the polls and have the establishment spooked. One good example of a climate policy/science-skeptical party is the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), which […]
