So, I came across a screenshot of one “Charles Johnson” of Little Green Footballs asking the question “I wonder if conservatives worried about Ebola becoming airborne realize that they are now supporting evolution?” I went to LGF to see if I could source the quote–and ask if he actually knew what any of the words …

Conversations with a Climate Alarmist
(Paraphrased for brevity and clarity) Alarmist: The climate denier’s claim that there has been an 18-year pause in Global Warming is false. Look at the anomalies from 1996 to now; the data doesn’t support it. Me: First, what’s “Global Warming”? I though that was “unscientific”now, and everyone had to use “Global Climate Disruption”. Pick a …
Coldest Antarctic June in Recorded History
So, we’ve had some cold nasty winters lately. And the story being pushed by the communists–oh, sorry, “scientists”–pushing AGW hypothesis is that warm air is dislocating the cold air from the poles, which is then being driven toward the equator. This cold air then gives us nasty winters… But the EARTH STILL HAS THAT FEVER!!! …

Obfuscation
About four years ago, I made a post on Facebook about the rising atmospheric CO2 concentration, and the lack of corresponding rise in global average temperature. The information was so easy to come by, I didn’t even think that it was worthy of a blog entry. Flash forward to today. It took me hours of …
An Unsettling Climate
City Journal has published an excellent article on AGW hypothesis and downfall of modern science. Those of you who hold science to high standards will find the read unsurprising, but informative. Those of you who think that “man-made global warming” is a real thing because someone told you that “there’s a scientific consensus” (or some …
Why God is Not Proved. And Why That’s Right.
Physicist Pierre-Simon Laplace is best known, among post-modern atheists, for a quote from a conversation with Napoleon Bonaparte. When Napoleon asked how he had composed an entire book on physical operations without a single reference to God, Laplace replied, “I had no need of that hypothesis.” Except, of course, that that is not at all …

Upcoming Posts
I’ve been in an interesting discussion of religion on Twitter today. Since I was already planning a post on “Superstition, Mythology, Faith and Religion”, I’ve also queued up a post on “Religion and Violence”. Another upcoming topic will be an analysis of (or probably, rebuttal to) Wodarz and Komarova’s “Dependence of the Firearm-Related Homicide Rate …
Post-Modernism Infects Science
Yesterday, I was trying to work up an article expressing my dissatisfaction with the Science Daily posting about a University of North Carolina study on the invasion of Caribbean reefs by lionfish. I didn’t get very far, however, because I kept going off on tangents (A brand-new species has entered competition in an abundant ecosystem. …
The Director of Greenpeace Asks a Legitimate Question
“Why can’t we tell the truth about climate change?” Of course, the intent of John Sauven’s question is that there is a vast, shadowy network of government and corporate entities conspiring to prevent honest scientists from revealing a necessary truth about scientific consensus to the unwashed masses. I’ll examine on how many levels that is …

“Climate Change Reconsidered” translated into Chinese
The global trend toward rational skepticism and away from socialist-driven alarmism is now undeniable. Not only have the major scientific academies of Russia and the Czech Republic issued strong statements of dissent against the alarmist opinion, but “Climate Change Reconsidered”, the premier rebuttal to the various IPCC *ahem* “reports”, has now even been translated into …
