Climategate Crasher
Posted by: | Comments(Updated 12/17 partly in response to DeepWheat) The East Anglia CRU scientists inspired this cartoon. The guy with the ”missing data” sign represents them, among the other con men and shake down artists who want to cash in on our guilty consciences due to our abuse of Mother Earth.
But Howard Bloom, in today’s WSJ, says it’s Mother Nature who is “not nice”. Apparently, there are opportunities for much unpleasantness during Mrs. Earth’s 226 million year forced march around the black hole that is at the center of the galaxy. According to Bloom, Earth has experienced 60 ice ages in the last 120,00 years alone, the last one being 12,000 years ago. Temperatures shot up as much as 18 degrees within 20 years in most of the warming periods. I don’t know if he got his information from tree rings, ice cores, or missing CRU scrolls but, if it’s true, it doesn’t look like man’s fault.
Or, as the late Dr. George Carlin theorized in this lecture, “the planet isn’t going anywhere - we are”.
(12/16) My contract with the Greek mob requires me to get Diogenes in a cartoon once every 5 years. I thought Bret Stephens had an interesting take on the Copenhagen conference last week in the Wall Sreet Journal. I also liked this from Kevin O’brien in the Plain Dealer.
EPA Endangers Wealth and Welfare of American People
Posted by: | CommentsThe EPA says, “carbon dioxide endangers the health and welfare of the American people” and asserted its right to regulate greenhouse gas under the Clean Air Act. EPA administrator Lisa Jackson says if Congress doesn’t act, she will. Democracy is such a pain. Here’s a column from the Denver Post by David Harsanyi.

Scientists Gone Bad

Thousands of hacked emails between climate scientists were posted on the web this week. The emails reveal attempts by the climate science “mafia” to “trick” data and muscle out opposing peer review publications. Here’s a WSJ story, a Washington Post story, and a Daily Telegraph story. Here are some more useful links.

Air Force One’s $300,000 Manhattan barnstorming was inspirational. Here’s a rough sketch of another idea. For more Fear of Flying go here.
Happy Earth Day To You
Posted by: | CommentsTo me, it’s garbage day. Right now I’m putting little grocery store plastic bags of trash into great big plastic bags to carry out to the curb. They’re heavy. This is causing me to exhale dangerous levels of carbon dioxide. I read that co2 makes up .038% of Earth’s atmosphere. And humans contribute 3% of that. The rest comes from cow farts.
