On Wednesday, November 17th, the House Committee on Science and Technology held a hearing regarding anthropogenic global warming, which is, of course, the so-called threat of our lifetimes, the end times for man, etc and so on, if you listen to climate alarmists. Thankfully, they devoted a whopping two hours to the most important issue […]

From a guest post at Watts Up With That? by Willis Eschenbach back on the 23rd So the next time you read something that breathlessly says … “If this activity in northwest Greenland continues and really accelerates some of the major glaciers in the area — like the Humboldt Glacier and the Peterman Glacier — […]

The climate alarmists have been yammering on about globull warming killing us all as it raises the oceans – a notion that Al Gore must disagree with, considering his purchase of a McMansion right near the Pacific – even though sea level rise has being going on since the end of the last Ice Age. […]

Hmm, if Man can create new life, and is always creating new species and sub-species……. Heralding a new era in biology, scientists for the first time have created a synthetic cell, completely controlled by man-made genetic instructions, which can survive and reproduce itself, researchers at the private J. Craig Venter Institute announced Thursday. “We call […]

Why don’t we ever see any of these stories involving embryonic stem cells? Oh, that’s right, they pretty much have never helped anything except the abortion lobby A British boy successfully underwent a groundbreaking operation involving the transplant of a windpipe which is being regenerated inside his body using his own stem cells, The Times […]

Just like so many other issues the enviro-extremists get their dirty claws in, such as refusing to allow clearing of brush, which then causes more massive wildfires, climate alarmist fixes are worse than the actual “problem” Fertilising the oceans with iron to absorb carbon dioxide could increase concentrations of a chemical that can kill marine […]

The Washington Times let’s us in on the story Undaunted by a rash of scandals over the science underpinning climate change, top climate researchers are plotting to respond with what one scientist involved said needs to be “an outlandishly aggressively partisan approach” to gut the credibility of skeptics. Apparently, the science can’t stand on its […]

Here we go: Darwin Foes Add Warming to Targets Critics of the teaching of evolution in the nation’s classrooms are gaining ground in some states by linking the issue to global warming, arguing that dissenting views on both scientific subjects should be taught in public schools. My first thought when I caught the headline and […]

Anthony Watts catches an interesting study Now that we have reached the end of the meteorological winter (December-February,) Rutgers University Global Snow Lab numbers (1967-2010) show that the just completed decade (2001-2010) had the snowiest Northern Hemisphere winters on record. Â The just completed winter was also the second snowiest on record, exceeded only by 1978. […]

Yet another bite taken out of the climate alarmists theories religion The golden toad was last seen in 1989 in the Costa Rican cloud forest of Monteverde—and 5 years later, its disappearance was the first extinction to be blamed on humanmade global warming. New evidence, however, suggests that humans may not have been at fault […]
