Scientific Status of Anthropogenic Global Warming

It is an open question, though with the evidence mounting against a substantial anthropogenic effect. I often write as if Anthropogenic Global Warming was disproven or obviously false. Global Warming is an open scientific issue, one which more information is needed – and in due course will be forthcoming. The position among real scientists is that Global warming is a conjecture – not a conjecture very likely to be true, …

“Brutally Honest” goes pinko

“Brutally Honest” complains that Christianity is immoral because it does not hate capitalism enough – no of course that is not what he complains. He complains Christianity is immoral, because it teaches that God gave us the world, and commanded us to be fruitful and multiply, to take dominion over the world, to fill it and subdue it. He is worried that we are going to run out of oil, …

How not to fight IslamTerror

“Back Talk remarks Because everyone pretty much accepts the idea that Osama bin Laden is hiding in Pakistan, it might sound sensible to send more troops in that general direction if you don’t think about it too hard. But it isn’t sensible because no matter how many troops we send to Afghanistan, they are not going to invade Pakistan, and that’s where Osama bin Laden is. So everyone accepts that …

Cooking the data

Steve’s Climate Audit has found yet another entertaining example of carelessness or dishonesty by the Anthropogenic Global Warming holy Gaia rollers, as he does ever week or so. I think the underlying mechanism of all these many errors is that the holy Gaia rollers massage the data one way, then they massage it another way, then another, and another, until they come up with a result that is on message, …

Non scientific reasons to doubt Anthropogenic Global Warming

There have been a lot of prophecies of doom before. As before, the prophets of doom are making money and gaining power from their prophecies Some of the data supposedly demonstrating global warming turned out to be fraudulent. The major scientific global warming authorities, notably the IPCC seem curiously relaxed about employing some fraudulent data, which casts doubt on the rest of their data. The anthropogenic global warming movement is …

Escalating prophecies of doom

When prophecies of doom are not working out, the first reaction is to escalate them: Ted Turner tells us: We will be eight degrees hotter in thirty or forty years, and basically none of the crops will grow, most people will have died, and the rest of use will be cannibals, civilization will have broken down. Over past millenia, global temperatures have risen and fallen several degrees. A few thousand …

Commodity derivatives: the new currencies

E-gold, which I thought would save the world, turned out to be something of a bust, with essentially zero use in real internet commerce, but “unenumerated reports” that we are seeing the financial markets going into commodity based fractional reserve monies in a big way, many trillions of dollars.   Still, you cannot pay for your we hosting or cell phone minutes with commodity based monies.  These moneys are for big …

I was wrong 1

I was wrong about Muslim reaction to the video “Fitna”. I said that Muslim’s were not reacting, just their pals in the west. This is not the case. Muslims are reacting, and, as usual, threatening murder and terror, though their western pals reacted first.

Who is funding terror?

We are funding terror. Twelve days ago, the US gave one hundred and fifty million dollars to the Palestinian Authority, much of which will be used to buy arms to murder Jews, much of which will be used to reward terrorists for their holy deeds. Why pay off the Palestinians when there are many deserving people going hungry? Duh! The answer, of course, is that it is a payoff. If …
