Deliver Us – in Kansas

In Kansas, fence-posts often are made from stone. There is not much to burn, if you need to stay warm, and there is no power. Sebelius vetoes bill that would resurrect coal-burning plant By DAVID KLEPPER The Star’s Topeka correspondent function PopupPic(sPicURL, sHeight, sWidth) { window.open( “http://media.kansascity.com/static/popup.html?”+sPicURL, “”, “resizable=1,HEIGHT=” +sHeight+ “,WIDTH=” +sWidth); } Sebelius snuffs out coal [...]

Frigid Forecast

Our reaction to inconsequential warming during an interglacial phase is seriously misdirected.  Here the argument to increase carbon dioxide emissions is set forth, and it is rather well done.  The current solar minimum is expected to continue until as late as July of next year (2009). The bottom line? A 2.2 degree C decline by 2030, [...]

Klimamysteriet 1

Recommended video which documents the suppression of legitimate science by degenerate collectivists/would-be kommissars: Klimamysteriet 1  Enjoy. Edit, 12-July: Youtube has taken the the Klimamysteriet (“The Cloud Mystery”) series down. A very brief trailer can be found here – but the site is not fast.

The Chilling Stars (redux)

Read ASAP “The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change” by Prof. Henrik Svensmark and Nigel Calder  Circa 1950, scientists confirmed that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy. Our Sun, a small star, is not fixed in an arm of the spiral, but orbits outside the galaxy’s center, moving from arm [...]

Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change

Reproduced here for (my) convenience from  The Heartland Institute A significant document, adopted by some 500 scientists and researchers. Well done!  At long last, a viable consensus seems to be emerging! Also posted with comment at   Global Warming Politics. Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change “Global warming” is not a global crisis We, the scientists and researchers [...]

What If Sunspots Remain Stopped?

Sunspots are all but stopped.  Remember . . .  Hey, sunspots have stopped before.   And what happened? (Keywords:  Dalton, Maunder).   Disease, malnutrition, and death resulted.  Even for the noble polar bears.  Should history matter?  Can history ever repeat?  Or is the debate over?  Is the solar magnetic cycle shut off, as easily as debate?  The [...]

Gore Minimum Continues to Affect Temperatures Globally

a>From    Anthony Watts: It appears the La Niña in the Pacific and the solar minimum are continuing to affect temperatures globally, resulting in this cooler period for the last 13 months sin January 2007. Updated May 24, 2008 with April 2008 UAH, showing extension of nascent Gore Solar Minimum:

Carbon Footprint of Human-like Rovers Devastating Martian Climate

No Fooling! Thanks,  Ace.  Ice Landslides at North Pole Conclusively Prove Global Warming (and the Martians are suing).   A NASA spacecraft has taken the first-ever image of an avalanche in action near Mars’ north pole.The High Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRISE) on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took the photograph Feb. 19. The image, released today, shows [...]

Target Rich Environment – YOU

(H/T:  Moonbattery  ) No matter how cold it gets, and apparently no matter how much ice piles up in the ocean, Al Gore’s bogus computer model research (and surface station fraud) creates a target-rich environment:  YOU. I wish I could make a joke about  this , but it seems rather a more severe a problem than “Global Warming.”  Moonbattery’s Van Helsing [...]

Congratulations to Anthony Watts!

Hey, hey, Anthony!  Congratulations; those of us punching the lites out of your awesome blog now have Brit Hume in our company. Thank you, Anthony;    watt  a spectacular job! We are etc. etc.   Evidence of Global Cooling Thursday, February 28, 2008 By Brit Hume Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:Cold ReceptionTuesday we [...]
