The Ugly Face of America

February 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Is it just me or are these the ugliest coins you’ve ever seen…

Washington looks pissed, Adams stunned, Jefferson mono browed and poor Madison simply distorted: give me a .90 loonie any time.

Climate Change Pushback II

February 12, 2007 | 1 Comment

Environmentalism as a metaphysical ideology and as a worldview has absolutely nothing to do with natural sciences or with the climate. Sadly, it has nothing to do with social sciences either. Still, it is becoming fashionable and this fact scares me. The second part of the sentence should be: we also have lots of reports, […]

Climate Change Push Back

Mark Steyn puts the boots to the “consensus” and its screw loose economics:
And is nought-point-seven of an uptick worth wrecking the global economy over? Sure, say John Kerry and Al Gore, suddenly retrospectively hot for Kyoto ratification. But, had America and Australia signed on to Kyoto, and had Canada and Europe complied with it instead […]

The “Science” is solid

February 5, 2007 | 4 Comments

At the risk of becoming a climate change bore, once more into the breach.
A meme bouncing around about the 4th report of the IPCC is that “the science is solid“. One of my reading hobbies is science, mainly physics and philosophy of science. I’ve been reading it for years and thinking about the nature of […]

Cold Comfort from Mark Steyn

Climate fun with Mark Steyn.
