Don't Try This at Home

It's part of the new logic in Washington. To stimulate business, create more bureaucracy. What the hell, it's just 200 billion. Not like we have a deficit problem. Oops.

Unpacking Mike's Trick (Thanks, Mike!)

Here's some (it would appear to be) interesting info on "Mike's Nature Trick", in case readers of this blog want some dirt for possible future self-serving uses (for instance, "Loch Ness Tricks", to show clear evidence of the Loch Ness Monster, for those receiving funds to study Loch Ness sightings, and so on). I'm all about making it easier to bilk the unsuspecting masses. As I get more "tricks", I'll pass them along.

It's Dr. Larson, now

Yes, that's right, I've completed my Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austion. I feel so...., so,...., so,....

Well, it was a feat, in addition to starting the company. I'll say that. And anyway, I love to write, and to do research.

All Mum on Global Warming

None of my Global Warming enthusiast friends are peeping right now. Hmmm. Maybe it's because the theory that co2 is driving climate change is slowly but assuredly unraveling, as all politically backed "scientific" theories do. The Earth warms, and cools, and warms again. Suddenly our lawnmowers and autos and jets are the cause. Wow. What an easy target, for a skeptic, like me.

I wish more enthusiasts would go on the record, on this blog, proclaiming the truth of Global Warming. Later, I'll use the posts to further rub it in. My point, always, is that science should be free of politics, and it's clear in this particular debate that pure science in this sense is an obvious illusion. Time will only make this point stronger.

So, speak up, you Global Warming folks! You're already on record on the blog, but let's hear more.

Where can I get "Mike's Trick"?

Here's the story on the Global Warming email leak. Original story from CBS News. From ZDNET.

Hide the Decline

Thanks alot, Global Warming folks. What I've been saying all along. It's not that I have super knowledge of non-global warming, it's that I'm capable of spotting the intrusion of politics into science. That doesn't take a scientist. Now the one bastion of non-political thinking, science, is further eroded in the eye of the public. The hypothesis that "Co2 is driving climate change", as opposed to other hypotheses (like that sun perturbations are more salient), we assumed would be evaluated on pure scientific merits. That's science. And I'm afraid the Global Warming enthusiasts following the IPCC either don't care about unadulerated science if it runs counter to political aims, or they really do, and they've been duped.

By the way, an interesting factoid: it was Margaret Thatcher, on the Right, who first gave political prominence to the view that it could be man-made causes responsible for variations in climate temp. Why? She was seeking a counter to the power of the coal miners unions, who would instigate strikes that threatened her ministry. This irony I'll let stand without further comment.

Global Warming Swindle

Global Warming is such complete bull shit that your IQ automatically drops (in my estimation) if you really think it's an established scientific fact, like foot fungus. You dimwits. Trying to help the planet by selling your epistemic souls. Watch The Great Global Warming Swindle, a documentary that challenges the Global Warming hypothesis and goes a long way toward de-politicizing what has become a knee jerk political position. Hey, I watched Al Gores An Inconvenient Truth, jerks, so do me a favor and watch the documentary. Then comment.
