The global warming blogs have done an analysis of the surface temperature readings, from which noconsensus quotes: leading meteorological institutions in the USA and around the world have so systematically tampered with instrumental temperature data that it cannot be safely said that there has been any significant net “global warming†in the 20th century. Temperature readings have had “value added†to their data, with the “raw†surface station histories mysteriously …

The science is scuttled
Nasa, as evidence that we are doomed unless we make sufficient sacrifice to Gaia and tithe to Gaia’s high priesthood, has long had on its web page Mountain Glaciers and snow cover have declined on average in both hemispheres and may disappear altogether in certain regions of the planet, such as the Himalayas, by 2030 Which web page has silently changed So was it a lie, or an error? I …
How left is Obama?
Obama was surrounded by the lunatic death-to-Americans left, his friends and social circle all come from those crazies, which led to widespread suspicion he was and is one of them – that he is a crazed commie nazi muslim who seeks to destroy America and reduce Americans to poverty and slavery. Birds of a feather flock together. On the other hand, a lot of people believe he is a moderate …
Global warming science in action
The “Air Vent†follows the money: The IPCC makes a hyperbolic claim about retreating glaciers, which claim originates from a for profit company owned by the chairman of the IPCC. Millions of dollars are then granted to this company to investigate this purported disaster, to the personal profit of the chairman of the IPCC.
Obama lashes out at the innocent to protect the guilty
Immediately after losing a senate seat to a Republican populist, Obama the next day proceeded to go populist. He, is, he tells us, going to punish those unregulated wall street fat cats who caused the crisis. He is going to tax the banks, and restrict proprietary trading by banks. But proprietary trading had little to do with the crisis. All the things that caused the crisis are still going: the …
What the election of Scott Brown means
Notice Scott Brown’s old pick up truck. Partly, of course, it is simply a massive swing against the Democrats. The economy is collapsing, people blame the party in power. But it also means more important and more interesting things: Scott Brown was campaigning as the anti elitist candidate, brandishing a working class and underclass identity, such as his old truck and his conviction for shoplifting. The elite is unpopular, not …

Mencius and Kling agree
Mencius Moldbug has long argued that we live in a theocracy. The priesthood teach that the state deserves authority, the schools teach the official religion, and the state funds the schools and the priesthood. Now Arnold Kling gives the same analysis,
Google still evil
Despite an announcement that it has stopped censoring in China, google.com.cn still censored Correction: A commentor points out that if we search for Tiananmen+Square+massacre instead of just Tiananmen+Square, we get uncensored results. Nonetheless, there is something smelly about that page rank. Also, google continues to censor right here: Type “Christianity is†into the search box, and it will drop down the following suggestions wrong a lie bullshit not a religion …
What the Tea Party stands for
There is a risk that the Tea Party movement is sufficiently vague and unspecific to enable everyone to read into what they want, so that people with fundamentally irreconcilable views believe they’re part of the same movement, which is a good way to get people into power so that they can start scooping up some of the gravy, and a bad way to accomplish any political objective. The original Tea …
