Reactor disaster

The television is full of panic stricken horror about the supposedly horrible horrible horrible horrible nuclear disaster in Japan. This disaster looks like being worse than three mile island, but not nearly as bad as Chernobyl. How many died as a result of Chernobyl? Sixty people died.   Pretty similar compared to coal mining disasters, of which there are many each year, killing in total world wide thousands of people every …

Fossil life found in meteor fragment

You have probably seen the photos of alleged fossil microorganisms in meteorites, but these are unconvincing.  Look hard enough, and you will find faces in rocks.  Lots of people have found supposed fossil microorganisms that turned out to be random shapes in rocks. More impressive are asymmetric amino acids.  The meteorite Ivuna Cl1 contained 372 parts per billion of l glutamic acid, but only 8 parts per billion of d …

Yes, Obama is a Muslim.

I  doubt Obama believes in anything, not in God, not even the evidence of the senses – but to be officially a Muslim, you have to publicly pronounce the Shahada:  “There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet”.  Obama did as a child, and recently repeated in public as an adult.  To cease to be a Muslim, you have to publicly reject that proposition, which he has …

No Pressure 10:10

Murder children for a greener tomorrow. Most honest political ad of all time. By now, you have probably seen the No Pressure video, depicting the warmist wish fulfillment fantasy where they get to blow up the heretics.  It starts with a warmist teacher blowing up skeptical children, then depicts every people of every part of society being blown up, then finally the revolution devours its children, with a warmist blowing …

Rush Limbaugh – smarter than ten thousand ecology PhDs

Back when BP’s oil was spouting into the gulf of Mexico, Rush told us: “The beach will fix itself” “More oil spilled every year in Africa, in Nigeria, than so far in the Gulf, so it’s not unique. It’s not exceptional. It’s not the largest. Mexico had a spill that larger than this, nobody talks about except apparently me” And behold:  The beach has fixed itself. The reason that BP …

Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.

Pajamas media has found an excellent quote from Richard Feynman, which skewers every global warmer: “The Pleasure of Finding things out” by Richard Feynman, page 187 We have many studies in teaching, for example, in which people make observations and they make lists and they do statistics, but they do not thereby become established science, established knowledge. They are merely an imitative form of science-like the South Sea Islanders making …

The death of science

“Scientists” complain that the government is interfering in “science” by denying them regulatory authority over other people’s economic activity. Nasa’s primary goal is to make Muslims feel good about Muslim science.

“ethics”

The Washington post complains about unethical science in China. Zhao is turning his attention to a topic Western researchers have shied away from because of ethical worries: Zhao plans to study the genes of 1,000 of his best-performing classmates at a top high school in Beijing and compare them, he said, “with 1,000 normal kids.” Politically incorrect science is “unethical” Today western science is stagnant for the same reasons as …

The boot comes down hard on the Institute of Physics

As you doubtless know by now, the Institute of Physics gave a wonderfully politically incorrect report on Global Warming. Predictably the boot came down on them hard. Academia is indeed like a communist country.  They don’t shoot dissidents in Academia, but communist thought control seldom found it necessary to shoot  people.  It mostly  worked by quietly blighting the lives of troublesome people.Â
