Bad for Business Bad for Gore: Understanding...
But this image of a fluid climate system subject to abrupt and natural up-and-downturns made unprecedented 20th century warming about as marketable as Florida swampland. And opportunists who depended on the aberrance of post-industrial revolution warming in order to condemn and control mankind’s CO2 emissions soon recognized that perhaps the LIA but most certainly the MWP simply had to go. ...

Most desolate spot on Earth. Sign the Book.
If you’re looking for a challenge, see if you can reach 82°06′S 54°58′E — it’s the most inaccessible point in Antarctica, the farthest from the ocean and the coldest place in the world. You’ll know you’ve arrived because you’ll find a bust of Lenin peering weirdly across the ice toward Moscow. Dig down 20 feet and you’ll uncover a pair of locked doors. Get those open and you can enter an old...

Criminally Stupid Criminal Watch

His sister, Latanya Clemmons, was arrested Friday afternoon after she attended an arraignment of two other women facing “rendering criminal assistance” charges. Police had been looking to arrest the woman since earlier this week. “I can’t...

More compassion for the WH party crashers, please!
Is it really appropriate and politically correct to call them party crashers just because they trespassed on Mr. Obama? Does that make them criminals? Isn’t that discrimination? Shouldn’t they be rewarded for such bold and brave behavior? Maybe they were just trying to feed their family? I would suggest that it’s more appropriate to call them “undocumented guests.”...

Nazi Experiments in a Brazilian Town Result In...
National Geographic Explorer is looking at claims that Nazi scientist Joseph Mengele, who escaped to Brazil, continued his research into using twins as a way to build a perfect Aryan master race. One historian thinks Mengele succeeded, and this town is the proof. “During the early 60s, something very curious happened at Cândido Godói. An explosion in the birth of twins. There is no...
Dallas News Editors No Longer Report to Political...
As of yesterday, some section editors at all of the company’s papers, including The News, will now report directly to Carr’s team of sales managers, now referred to as general managers. In short, those who sell ads for A.H. Belo’s products will now dictate content within A.H. Belo’s products, which is a radical departure from the way newspapers have been run since, oh,...

Crapmasters of Science
The climate-change legions are recruited mainly from the Western Left-intelligentsia, their kitbags stuffed with all the sub-Marxist and ethno-masochist flapdoodle of the modern academy. They hate capitalism, they hate Western civilization, and they hate their own ancestors. The kind of dramatic social engineering implicit in the phrase “combating climate change” is emotionally appealing to them....
Obama and his scurvy crew
posses the most repulsive of characteristics in any time, but the most demanded of troubled ones: that is they are consistent and shameless hypocrites: no unkind word for the Rangels of their party after slandering Republicans as cretins of corruption; they rail themselves hoarse about mean spirited hate-mongering where none exists, while their base of vile bloggers are as close to certifiably...
Conservation vs. Preservation
We are, I believe, given this world by God, and as such are stewards of something greater than us which does not belong to us. We must use the world properly and justly, with care and love - but use it nevertheless. This distinction is one between conservation and preservation. A conservationist wants to keep the environment from being misused and destroyed, but enjoyed by man. Trails and...

In the United States, the top level of government, the Federal government, is finally experiencing what might even be described as a Keynesian corollary for governments local and otherwise which I, somewhat egotistically, now introduce: “You cannot keep the market intentionally irrational forever and remain solvent.” via finemrespice.com Posted via web from...

The Failure of Models Why is it that the same people who assail financial modeling as the end of civilization as we know it find such faith in models that purport to predict the far more complex dynamic of the planet’s atmosphere out to half a decadecentury or more? (How many state space representations exist for a model of the earth’s atmosphere with one second resolution for...
