End of the World as You KNOW It

This is a rather disturbing biblical prophecy to young, naive or ill-informed minds. The operative word is KNOW, for what you fear is a direct function of what you know. The more you know about the decrepit state of reality, the more enthusiastically you can embrace this pending change.

Concerned About Concerned Scientists

All true scientists should be wringing their hands over the powerful sounding name of a political pressure group parading beneath the banner of science. Adding to this deception is the use of the word ‘union’, implying the exact ‘settled science’ that we all now recognize as a front for Faux Science.

Climate Science’s Worst Week in History

There now appears to be a photo finish in the horse race for the ‘worst week in climate science history’ with that already infamous week of the Climate-Gate hacking, aka the “East Anglia Event Horizon”. The universal increase in knowledge has been devastating to the Royalist-Monopolist-Elitist Alliance hell bent on universal serfdom.

Poisoned Roots Now Bearing Poisoned Fruit

It is one thing to research, collate and articulate a coherent message in print, but it is the acid test of knowledge to orate and debate those thoughts in front of an informed and skeptical audience. Highlight of this author’s week was being honored as guest speaker at my local Rotary Club. “Service Above Self” is the motto of this oldest of all service organizations, and they have the record of good deeds to support their claim.

Fossil Fuel is Nuclear Waste

Ominous clouds of informed reason are darkening the skies over the environmental camp. The environmental shock troops, the warmists, opened a direct frontal assault on science with their ‘human caused’ climate change hypothesis. When true science began to examine these claims, a host of other ‘environmental science’ errors appeared.

The Pop Tart,  Gay Army and the Dodo Awards

The pop culture clone of Madonna has now launched her newest crusade, America must be defended by ‘La Cage Aux Folles’. The rantings of over-hyped loons are easy to overlook, unless there is a mind-numbed segment of the population that mistake ‘celebrity’ with leadership.

This Month’s Kudos and Dodos

Part of the problem with being a literacy junkie is the number of publications that offer yearly subscriptions below that dollar-per-issue threshold. Succumb and you’ve soon got a mailbox full of questionable uses for pulp. This month’s rankings are now in and it’s time for the “Kudos and Dodos Awards”.

Finite Number of Falling Skies

Greenie Chicken Little has a problem. Every doomsday scenario that the warmists mention is SKEWED to support human caused climate change, and every scenario is quickly rebutted as false. And there are a finite number of human caused horror stories that a skeptical public will endure.

Visionless Lead the Unsighted Astray

Make NO mistake. In a free nation of 300 million people, FAR better leadership exists than sit in any high level political office. With few exceptions, our leaders are blinded by their own arrogance and greed. The general public is blinded by defective education and propagandist media misinformation. These powerful blind are now leading the powerless blind ever closer to the lemming cliff.

Credit Default Swapping of Science

Sometimes seeing things in three dimensions requires a set of one green lens and one red lens stereoscopic glasses. Other times one need only remove these obstacles to true vision. The editors of the Rolling Stone are now cautiously peeking from behind their red lens. And they are not liking what they see.

Airmen of ASHRAE, Enter the Fray

The ground trembled to the roar of Merlin engines at full throttle as gallant airmen raced down runaways to meet the approaching air armada. “Never have so many, owed so much, to so few” was how Winston Churchill described these warriors. Seventy years later, history is having a metaphorical repeat.

Warmist Rehab Failure

One would think that a well-wacked mole would stay silent, after months away from his safe burrow. Well, the centerfold for the 2009 Bad Boys of Science Review, apparently feels that eight months and three whitewashes later, he’s now free to reconstruct his history with the same abandon that he reconstructed the world temperature data.

I’ll Take Some E Pluribus, but Hold the Unum

The Latin phrase for ‘From Many, One’ and the nice companion phrase ‘United We Stand’ make catchy national mottos. They are useful for herding the masses in a crisis, but are disingenuous. If the ‘many’ did become ‘one’, then the elite would have a real problem. Therefore, the ‘elite’ will direct us to which group we shall go and the locations were we are to stand. All the easier for them to cut us down at the knees.

Rocket Scientists Need NOT Apply

I really want to like NASA and I really want to respect scientists, however I have a real problem when science fiction is presented as fact. A scientist morphs into a flim-flam artist when he uses a parlor trick to distort science in support of a fraud. Pedigree does not bestow sanity. This latest bit of insanity will now be exposed.

ClimateGate Plus EIGHT

Yes, it’s hard to believe that is been over eight months….and at least five whitewashes….and a dozen, IPCC admitted non-peer reviewed research retractions….and finally expert Dr Roy Spencer is going to stick his toe into the tepid water of denial. Here’s what this brave climate scientist had to say:

Tinhorn Be Gone Party

Sometimes current events and projected trend lines are too intimidating to review or even contemplate. Thankfully, Americans have a rich history to draw on for solving this problem. Return now for a fictional look at what REAL pioneers may have faced on the REAL frontier. A fanciful look, at fictional forces, that may have saved a struggling, imaginary land.

Green Prince of Darkness

There were a myriad of factors that contributed to the demise of the British Motor Industry in the mid seventies. The storied brands of Jaguar, Bentley, Aston Martin and MG of the automotive and Triumph, BSA and Norton of motorcycle industry all suffered under onerous labor union contracts and government ownership and controls. All of these brands also suffered with defective electrical components produced by the Joseph Lucas Company.

Penn Panel Limbos under the Hockey Stick

Every limbo boy and girl, all around the limbo world, is awed the warmist’s trick, to wiggle under the hockey stick. Perhaps it’s a good time to load up the MP3 players with that catchy Chubby Checkers beat from 1962 Billboard Top Ten list. There’s no better image to describe the contortions of recent government and academic whitewash efforts on ClimateGate. We must ask our leaders, “How low can you go ?”

It’s Clouds Illusions That I Recall

In all of the smoke and mirrors drama that passes for debate on ‘climate change’, it is sometimes helpful to the layman to provide a ‘voters guide’ on this confusing squabble. The strictly science issues are confusing, but further skewed by economic interests who have complete control of the federal government.

Fiction Morphs to Science Fact

Sure. If the world was ‘curved’ then Magellan ‘could’ sail around the planet and not fall off the edge. The witnesses to the August, 1519 launch of the four wooden carracks and one caravel saw 237 brave explorers sail down river from Seville for a journey to what must have seemed eternity. Three years later, one ship and 18 men would return. While Columbus may have proved the world was not flat in 1492, it was Magellan who proved it was indeed round.
