The Obama administration is going to put on a show today for America. It is going to attempt to convince us that they are doing something about the abysmal jobs situation. It will be nothing but theatre and stage craft. Since the liberal stimulus bill was passed in February 2009, the Unemployment and Underemployment situation […]

In a follow up to my previous post regarding how the cover up of the warm period seen globally in the 1930’s -1940’s is probably the best documented, easiest to grasp case of falsifying raw data to create the myth of runaway global warming (and thus man-made  global warming) we have some news with a […]

A blog at CBS News, a news organization hardly unfriendly to liberal causes and climate alarmists, produced a very harsh report on climategate today: Ripples created by the disclosure of global warming files now being called “ClimateGate” continue to spread, with congressional attention growing and the head of a prominent climate change group stepping aside. […]

One of the most famous people arising from the Climategate scandals is Harry the CRU programmer. His long tail of woe on how he tried to get the CRU code and data to produce something reliable is captured in over 270 pages of developer notes. I wonder if this poor chap will be caught up […]

As I noted below, the President laid out to America a good case for the troop increases needed to try and break the back of the Taliban and al Qaeda. I also noted the idea of a ‘schedule’ in war is not realistic or smart- but all military plans have timelines. They have to in […]

As the father of a newly minted Marine Lance Corporal who will, in all likelihood, deploy to Afghanistan sometime in the coming year I hope people appreciate this post. As I watched our President’s speech tonight I saw for the first time the office of the President settle upon Barack Obama’s shoulders. It was a critical […]

Phil Jones is out as head of the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU): Professor Phil Jones has today announced that he will stand aside as Director of the Climatic Research Unit until the completion of an independent Review resulting from allegations following the hacking and publication of emails from the Unit. Professor […]

It is not a good day for conservatives when folks like Charles Johnson leave the movement in such obvious disgust I was asked what went wrong by one of my more ‘pure’ conservative readers (he loves to dig at this independent conservative centrist). What went wrong is the ‘true conservatives’ and their vitriol. Charles Johnson […]

Now that I am more confident the file I discovered in the CRU data dump is actually the CRU global temperatures prior to all those AGW ‘corrections (see here), I want to focus in on one country that would be the perfect ‘canary in a coal mine’ for planet Earth. If there really was rampant […]

There is another example out of raw temp measurement data not matching the CRU/IPCC alarmist’s graphs showing dramatic recent increases and much cooler periods prior to 1960. This time the hard evidence comes from Norway, as noted at WUWT. Graphically we see another case of raw temp data – which looks fairly benign: Now looking […]
