Bishop Hill has a list of Hadley CRU files he finds particularly interesting. They are mostly good stuff but have zero overlap with the files I find particularly interesting. It is going to take a while to digest sixty two megabytes. It will be some time before we realize what of this revelation truly matters. To me, the relevant question is not whether global warming true, but whether alarmists been …
A first look at the internal climate emails
Rather than reading for data that discredits particular erroneous results, a task that Steve and his crew can do much better than I can, I study the papers to reveal evil and madness, to reveal the cause of error, rather than specific particular errors. The Anthropogenic Global Warmers know in advance the results of peer review that is not yet done. They also know in advance what the decisions of …
Global warming fraud goes public
An unknown person posted a large amount of internal files from allegedly from CRU, which huge collection has become known as The Hadley CRU file set To understand all this stuff, you need to know lots of climate science. I have only just started to go through this huge pile. The original ftp server dropped the file (being stolen material and so on and so forth) and all those old …
The cause of the crisis 4-3
In the cause of the crisis, I addressed fraudulent ratings. Bill draws my attention to a report on securitized loans issued by the New York Fed in which they examine the somewhat surprising ratings given to New Century Financial: You might consider blogging this absolutely hilarious paper from a couple of people at the New York Fed. The good stuff starts on page 14, where we learn about a typical …
Finally, pirates resisted
Somali pirates attacked the Maersk Alabama on Wednesday for the second time in seven months and were “thwarted by private guardsâ€. It appears that “thwarted†actually means “killedâ€, which is the only effectual way to “thwart†pirates. This will have the effect that pirates will cease to attack ships flying the American flag, which a considerably better result than I expected with Obama in charge. This action by captain Rochford …
US inflation rising
The latest official cpi is 0.3% rise for the month of October, which, annualized, is 3.6% – higher than is desirable, high enough to cause moderate damage to investment and employment,but not high enough to be a serious problem. Actual inflation, in my doubtless biased judgment, is probably around seven percent, high enough to be a serious problem, high enough significantly damage investment and cause substantial unemployment. The government continues …
Productivity leaps?
Since the holes are valued at cost, and filling them in also valued at cost, and since the peasants working in the Lord sector are well paid, better paid than ordinary peasants, though not quite as well paid as the lord and his retainers, and since the Lord and his retainers also took a modest pay rise for arranging all this prosperity, total value produced, total GDP is now a whopping eight hundred and fifty thousand sacks of wheat, a fourfold rise in GDP. One of the Lord’s retainers is an economist, who gets a Nobel prize for explaining that the Lord has done such a good job.
Judaism is racism, says the British Court of Appeals
A Jewish school, partially funded by the British taxpayer, has been ordered it cannot define Jews by descent, because this is “racismâ€. Unfortunately, Judaism does define Jews by descent. If the effect of the ruling was merely that Jewish institutions, being “racist†cannot receive government funding, this would not be too bad, but unfortunately, Britain prohibits “racist†association generally, so the ruling logically prohibits Jewish association generally, thus the practice …
Nobel prize for corruption and fraud
The Nobel for economics is being awarded on the same basis of as the Nobel for peace.
Political correctness kills people
Section 3 of the US constitution. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Major Nidal Malik Hasan adhered to our enemies and gave our enemies aid and comfort. He then waged war against the united states, shooting 43 soldiers who were not carrying arms at the time. When he adhered to our enemies …
