Greenpeace is calling for the head of Pachauri, the IPCC chairman. As Mencius Moldbug says, this will not make the patient healthy, it will make the cancer healthy. The call is not for a replacement who can more impartially discover the truth about anthropogenic global warming, but for a replacement who can more convincingly persuade the public of the truth of anthropogenic global warming, and the terrible harm it will …
More climate shenanigans
Cheifio has found all sorts of oddities in the surface temperature data. His latest target is Madagascar But I’m sure it’s just an accident of history, or something, that an entire country with no visible warming in the basic data and a recent cooling was dropped in 2005…. Maybe the monkeys hid the data … The Nasa Giss anomaly chart shows Madagascar burning up, while the Madagascar climate station shows …
No twentieth century warming
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,
