The Mathematics of Global Warming
George Will explains the actual numbers involved in the “climate crisis” including the Kyoto Protocol, carniverous diets, hybrid vehicles, and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
Global Warming Facts and Concensus
I wish I had more time to dedicate to writing a longer post that would remind my friends trained in the sciences about the strength of the scientific method and the differences between facts and theories. For now, this aricle will have to do. Matt Maschinot’s point in the article’s comments goes says just about [...]
Gingrich and Kerry to Debate
Not presidential though, it’s climate. What once was touted as a concern for humanity has now officially been polarized by the Republicrats as a way to sell books and get some “look at me” time.  Jeremy Jacobs has the full story. I couldn’t help but be amused by this: “As a father, when someone tells me that [...]
Do Smoking Bans Cause DUIs?
From the KNS: ”As the U.S. Surgeon General said last year — the debate is over, the science is clear. Secondhand smoke is a serious health hazard that causes premature death and disease in children and nonsmoking adults,” said Conte. That statement is certainly true, and I’m not contesting it. However, there is one small [...]
Ron Paul on Bill Maher
The best thing about this interview is that as, ahem, “smart” and clever Maher is, he had very little in way of retort to Paul. Maybe this is the first time Maher has heard the argument that the Civil War wasn’t really about slavery? [youtube xo6KIusCBoU]
Can’t Wait to See Gore’s Graph for Mars
National Geographic’s article on Martian Warming “The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars,” he said. By no means does this suggest we shouldn’t be reducing our energy consumption. I do what I can to reduce…I love the idea of reducing my con$umption. My definition of “green power” is spending as [...]
A Very Convenient Award
“An Inconvenient Truth” was the documentary of the year….(yawn). From BREITBART.COM : “People all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It’s not a political issue. It’s a moral issue,” Gore said. A career politician making a comment like that pretty much convinces me that it is a purely political issue.

Space.Com’s Take on Science and the Public
When Did Science Become the Enemy? The membership of the Astronomical League, a national organization of amateur astronomers, is 16,000. The National Mah Jongg League has 275,000. I can’t say that I’m a member of either, but the article makes some good points about how we define heroes in America. Also some good observances about [...]
