TagsTagsNo matter where you stand on the issue of anthropogenic climate change, surely we can all agree that misrepresenting facts isn’t going to help anyone understand the subject—and calls into question the motives of those who do it: The Sea Ice Affair, Continued. Monday I bemoaned the lack of fact-checking ...

Lord High Admiral Waxulon-6, inhabiting the body of Congressman Henry Waxman, has a message for all Earth creatures: Mark Your Time, Hu-Mans! Attention Hu-Mans: Mark your time! Behold the current heat readings of your atmosphere, which have now reached less than negative 40 in your Earth-degrees. Phase I of the Kremulakian ...

An interesting New York Times science article on new discoveries about a possible catastrophic meteor strike about 13,000 years ago: New Evidence of Meteor Bombardment. At least once in Earth’s history, global warming ended quickly, and scientists have long wondered why. Now researchers are reporting that the abrupt cooling — which ...
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation hosted a debate on the British documentary “The Great Global Warming Swindle,” that’s fairly even-handed considering the ABC’s leftist tilt, including an interview with the producer, Martin Durkin, who gets every chance to defend the film. Since this topic is only going to get more heated ...

Mother Nature is apparently now using the Associated Press to communicate her warnings: Obama left with little time to curb global warming. Mother Nature, of course, is oblivious to the federal government’s machinations. (Hat tip: Walter.)

There’s an interesting debate going on about the extent to which melting glaciers contribute to the rise of sea levels; here’s an article at Scientific American that tries to make sense of the conflicting opinions: A Deep Thaw: How Much Will Vanishing Glaciers Raise Sea Levels?
Here’s another good episode of Penn and Teller’s Bullsh*t! (Something tells me this one won’t get the same kind of reaction as their debunking of creationism.)
To mix a metaphor, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop before jumping on the bandwagon. I’m referring to the paper submitted to the American Physical Society by Christopher Monckton, claiming that the IPCC’s estimate of the Earth’s climate sensitivity (the amount of warming that occurs as CO2 ...

There’s an eye-opening report today at the web site of the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works: U.S. Senate Report: Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007. Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects ...
Coming soon to a transnational progressive agenda near you: Baby tax needed to save planet, claims expert. A WEST Australian medical expert wants families to pay a $5000-plus “baby levy” at birth and an annual carbon tax of up to $800 a child. Writing in today’s Medical Journal of Australia, Associate ...

A British High Court judge ruled that Al Gore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth” contains so many scientific errors that it shouldn’t be shown to schoolchildren. But if all those errors were removed from the film, would there be any science left?
Dr. James Hansen, who approves and issues NASA climate change statements and is one of the most alarmist global warming advocates in the US, is apparently deep in the pocket of George Soros: NASA, James Hansen, and the Politicization of Science. Most research papers are rather dry reading, written to ...

Coming this weekend to the UK: 24 hours of direct action by “climate change” weirdos. Police were confident of being able to contain the expected climax of the climate camp at Heathrow Airport. Protesters, buoyed by an influx of new arrivals, promised 24 hours of direct action, starting from midday on Sunday. The ...
According to the DailyTech blog, the NASA temperature data used to estimate the advance of global warming has been shown to be way off the mark, due to a Y2K bug in the graphing software—and the corrected charts tell a very different story: Blogger Finds Y2K Bug in NASA Climate ...
Possibly the biggest extortion scheme in history: Rich must pay bulk of climate change bill: Oxfam. LONDON (Reuters) - Coping with the ravages of global warming will cost $50 billion a year, and the rich nations who caused most of the pollution must pay most of the bill, aid agency Oxfam ...
The Religion of Global Warming is apparently just as thin-skinned as the Religion of Peace™: Scientists threatened for ‘climate denial’. (Hat tip: LGF readers.) Scientists who questioned mankind’s impact on climate change have received death threats and claim to have been shunned by the scientific community. They say the debate on ...
One of the scientists who appears in the Channel 4 documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle now claims his views were misrepresented: Professor Wunsch said: “I am angry because they completely misrepresented me. My views were distorted by the context in which they placed them. I was misled as to what ...

With Al Gore’s emergence as “The Goracle,” here’s an oldie-but-goodie from Cox and Forkum that was supernaturally prescient:
Al Gore gave a talk on Manbearpig global warming last night in Toronto, and the moonbats turned out in force to worship the “Goracle.” Yes, that’s really what they’re calling him now. Eco-pilgrims gather to ‘heed the Goracle’. (Hat tip: WriterMom.) Last night, before Mr. Gore gave his slideshow, it looked more ...
Penn and Teller take a look at America’s favorite pastime: the separation of garbage into its component elements for no discernible benefit. (It’s Penn and Teller, so do I need to mention there’s a language warning?) [Video removed by Google.]
