8.8 Quake Hits Chile

February 27, 2010

A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit Chile at about 3:34am local time.  Aftershocks have followed throughout the morning, day and now into the night.  The power of the quake set off a tsunami which is (at the very moment I write this post) hitting Hawaii with about an 8-foot swell.  Because of the new early [...]

A Nor’easter by Any Other Name

February 25, 2010

Central Jersey already has had about three or four inches and it’s going to get much worse.  In the midst of all this global warming, we have another double-digit snow storm (the third in February alone!).  We should have 10-16 more inches before tomorrow afternoon as the latest Nor’easter hits this area.
“Nor’easters” are large snow [...]

Attaching a Price to Carbon, the Most Basic Element of Life

February 24, 2010

Cap and trade Cap-and-Tax legislation appears to be at a standstill due to a disagreement at the mechanism for setting a price for carbon.  Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Sen. Lindsay Graham (RINO-SC) are attempting to come up with the best way to determine the price for carbon.
Think about that statement [...]

Phil Jones — No Significant Global Warming Since 1995

February 15, 2010

The UK Daily Mail has published this article focusing on hacked ClimateGate scientist Phil Jones’ admission that there has NOT been any statistically significant global warming since 1995!  Ouch — that’s 15 years!
Think 1995 for a second:  Newt and crew take over Congress for the first time;  Jacques Chirac becomes President of France;  the Oklahoma [...]

Climate Gate Scientists Broke the Law

January 28, 2010

Climate Gate scientists responsible for forging the data involved in the climate change hoax also broke the law, according to Britain’s Information Commissioner’s Office.  By refusing to hand over source data when requested, the commissioner found that the climate scientists at the University of East Anglia violated Britain’s Freedom of Information Act.  These revelations came [...]

The New Model for Political Fundraising

January 12, 2010

The NRCC, NRSC, and RNC are experiencing financial issues.  They are not meeting their fund raising targets, and are lagging behind the Democrats in both money raised and cash-on-hand.  Why is this the case, when the political mood seems to sharply favor Republicans and be antagonistic towards Democrats?  The answer is simple.  Conservatives have had [...]

Brrr.. It’s Cold Outside

January 11, 2010

In case anyone hasn’t noticed, it’s quite cold out.  Temperatures are below freezing in Florida, Great Britain recently suffered its worst snowstorm in 20 years, and the temperatures so far this winter in most of the U.S. and the world have been well below their average for long stretches of time.  A fluke, you may [...]

Climate Change is Natural? You Don’t Say…

December 15, 2009

Today, the UK’s Daily Express listed 100 Reasons why climate change is natural.  Well, of course it is!  But, apparently with all the craziness in Copenhagen, this UK news source has decided to list some pretty common sense factoids for one to chew on.
Not all on this list are completely airtight, but neither are many [...]

The ClimateGate Data Manipulation

December 10, 2009

Ace of Spades has the most succinct and thorough explanation yet of how ClimateGate proves that the methodology and data that has been used to support the theory of global warming is a complete farce.  The warmers are still trying to say that the email scandal at CRU is only one dataset in a theory [...]

Don’t Breathe, It’s Now Harmful to Public Health

December 7, 2009

Well, I suppose one can breathe IN, just not OUT!
CO2 is a danger to public health;  so says the Environmental Protection Agency today in a Pearl Harbor-like surprise that’s slated to doom our long-term economic future.
In 2007, the Supreme Court allowed the regulation greenhouse gases, including CO2, by the EPA.  Seeing Cap-and-Trade about to die [...]

An Icy Blast from the Past

December 6, 2009

Scanning through the Internet this morning I bumped into this Forbes article regarding the “Coming Ice Age” hysteria of the 1970s, relating it to today’s global warming hysteria.  The author, Gary Sutton, brings up a point I’ve been saying for a while — scientists live on funding, while politicians live on panic.  It’s the perfect [...]

Obama: Climategate Be Damned — Copenhagen is On!

December 5, 2009

Well, the forecast wintry mix totaling “a dusting to an inch” is already near three inches deep in my part of Central Jersey, so I couldn’t resist a global warming/Climategate post!  Especially when in the face of all the uncertainty behind much of the climate science underlying the upcoming Copenhagen initiatives, President Obama is going [...]

More Suspicious Climategate Revelations

November 30, 2009

So you want to change the planet’s behavior in regards to CO2 production?  You also want to tell us that man-made global warming will destroy us all one day soon unless we act right now this very instant.  You take your Nobel Prize and wag it in front of us saying that your science is [...]

Climate Change Religion Suppressing Science

July 6, 2009

You’ve probably already heard about this story from last week regarding EPA analyst Alan Carlin’s 98-page study on global warming and carbon dioxide.  It’s definitely worth noting.  The EPA didn’t like the findings and tried to suppress Carlin’s key finding:  that while levels of CO2 may have increased in recent years, global temperatures have gone [...]

Boehner on the Cap-and-Trade Bill

June 28, 2009

Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner was quoted as saying this about the energy bill which just passed the House Friday: “Hey, people deserve to know what’s in this pile of sh-t.”  I could not agree with him more. 
The House passed possibly the most economically destructive bill in a century on Friday 219-212, with 44 Dems jumping ship, [...]

The Global Warming Paradox

June 24, 2009

At the American Thinker, Larry Anderson points out how the issue of global warming has become somewhat of a paradox.  On the one hand, Congress is in the process of debating and voting on major new legislation to deal with the high amount of CO2 emissions leading to Global Warming, legislation that will severely impact [...]

No “Fair-Weather” Patriots in Trenton

April 15, 2009

I’ve just returned from a Tax Day Tea Party in Trenton, New Jersey, in front of the State Capitol Building.  It was rainy, wet, windy, nasty — no “fair-weather patriots” as the lead organizer Brian indicated.  My feet were freezing and my throat raw, but the spirit was there from the young to the very old.  We [...]

Leaving the Lights On Tonight

March 28, 2009

“Earth Hour” dweebs around the planet want to have a billion people worldwide turn their lights off between 8:30 and 9:30 this evening to protect us all against the horrors of “global warming.”  Of course, they’ll claim a momentous victory even though after their friends, contributors to the ‘global warming” hysteria in Greece and other snotty privileged developed [...]

Obama Is the True Enemy of Science

March 10, 2009

Yesterday, as reported here and elsewhere, Barack Obama lifted the ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.  Taking aside for a moment the moral problems with embyonic stem cell research, as well as the fact that absolutely no promise has been found in this area of science, Obama’s action is even more insideous, [...]

Obama Lifts Stem Cell Funding Ban

March 9, 2009

Obama is Brahma:  he is the Creator… of all that is good through the Stimulus.
Obama is Vishnu:  he is the Sustainer… of his version of Liberal America through more government spending and controls.
Obama is Shiva:  he is the Destroyer… not just of stock markets, but also of defenseless life through an executive order today, lifting [...]

Global Warming Takes a Snow-Day

March 2, 2009

You have to love the poetic justice of it.  Today, global warming nuts were planning to protest global warming at a DC power plant.  Mother nature had the last laugh, and has dumped a foot of snow on the DC area.  This seems to always happen to the left.  When Al Gore was to testify [...]

NBC Bans Pro-Life Ad During Super Bowl

January 31, 2009

Here’s the ad in question.  I personally think it’s pretty awesome:

NBC stated that it does not intend to air political advocacy ads during the Super Bowl.  That’s their prerogative.  Yet, they told PETA that they might get their ad on if they edited it to coincide with NBC’s ethical standards a little bit more, but on the [...]
