Freeman Dyson is fearless, like many of us old guys, but he’s smarter


Can’t argue with Dyson unless you were a fool like those in the Obama administration

He is interviewed on the current debate and creates some real problems for the warmers. How unfortunate for them.

NOAA Forecast: A below-normal Atlantic Hurricane Season is likely this year


The only way this can be true is if the GCM’s are wrong and that would mean their theory is wrong — lets hope they don’t send the air force into the gulf or the Atlantic to try and seed a hurricane!

No, The Polar Ice Caps Are Not Disappearing Katherine


Reality has no meaning to those that have bought into the lie!

Tony Heller's avatarReal Climate Science

Several times a day, news reports go out that the polar ice caps are melting, and it is drowning Pacific islanders. As with everything else related to this scam, it is complete BS.

Arctic sea ice extent is almost identical to twenty years ago.

Arctic sea ice is closely tracking 2006, the year with the highest summer minimum from the past decade.

Greenland has gained 500 billion tons of ice since September, and the melt season there is almost a month late

Climate Change – Maybe, Just Maybe, It’s Because Their Argument Is Unsound


Its been taught in the grad schools for decades now virtually everyone under 30 believes that we need sustainability (because of too much carbon) with in a few more years the majority of the citizens will agree to anything to save the planet and the polar bears.

Mark Steyn on the despair of the warmists:

Global Warming meltdownThe hysteria of Mann-style alarmism is going nowhere with the public, as one of the hysterics in Australia, Graeme Richardson, acknowledges here:

The sceptics and deniers have turned the 70 per cent-plus belief in climate change into a minority because no one has engaged them.

As my distinguished co-author on Climate Change: The Facts, Jo Nova, responds:

That’s right Graham, we unfunded bloggers and the few surviving skeptical scientists not evicted and blackballed from our universities (yet) have tricked 20% of the population because no one has put forward the climate change arguments except for: The Climate Commission, CSIRO, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, Royal Dutch Shell, GE, Panasonic, The ABC, The BBC, The Guardian, Fairfax, The Australian government, most universities, The EU, The UN, The World Bank, and the IMF.

Not to mention President Obama and the US Coast…

Scientific integrity versus ideologically-fueled research


Sir Karl Raimund Popper (28 July 1902 – 17 September 1994) was an Austrian and British philosopher and a professor at the London School of Economics. He is considered one of the most influential philosophers of science of the 20th century, and he also wrote extensively on social and political philosophy. The following quotes of his apply to this subject.

If we are uncritical we shall always find what we want: we shall look for, and find, confirmations, and we shall look away from, and not see, whatever might be dangerous to our pet theories.

Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.

… (S)cience is one of the very few human activities — perhaps the only one — in which errors are systematically criticized and fairly often, in time, corrected

I think we have lost what Popper taught us!

The main intellectual fault in all these cases is failing to be responsive to genuine empirical concerns, because doing so would make one’s political point weaker or undermine a cherished ideological perspective. – Heather Douglas

The EPA appears to have broken the law when it preemptively vetoed the Pebble Mine Project. Wall Street Journal’s latest article, “EPA’s Pebble Blame Game,” reveals more of the scandal:

Climate Alarmists – The Ultimate Snake Oil Salesmen


It maybe Snake Oil but it appears that it can still be sold — if you are an academic.

Today, climate alarmists say that rain in Texas is caused by fossil fueled poisoned weather.

These same clowns were blaming the Texas drought on global warming, and predicting it would get worse.
