Inhofe’s 98.5 on the Inhofe Scale echoing Ambler’s 100

January 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments

While Huffington Post editors would likely want to see the Ambler incident simply disappear off the radar scope, the global warming sound machine doesn’t seem interested in cooperating in that aim.  One of the key megaphones, Senator James Inhofe (R-Exxon), blared out on this today. And, in a path that seems to rate quite [...]

HuffPost scores a 100 on the Inhofe Scale

January 5th, 2009 · 9 Comments

The New Year began with a bang over at the Huffington Post: the explosion of a new poster with a diatribe meriting a solid 100 on the Inhofe scale. [To DIGG this post.]
As a reminder, thoughtful energy blogger Lou Grinzo (Cost of Energy) developed the concept of The Inhofe Scale.
The Inhofe Scale [...]

Denier’s quote: True, but not truthful

December 20th, 2008 · Comments Off

Links can come in from all over the blogosphere and any/all material one writes on the web are open for quick and easy citation/linkage/quotation. The other day, a prominent Australian climate denier columnist (a good example of a mass media distorter of science who is in the Hall of Shame) chose to quote from [...]

Revisiting Inhofian Deception

December 13th, 2008 · 11 Comments

It must be that time of year again. [DIGG this story.]
Just like last year, the Minority on the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Commitee (read James Inhofe (R-Exxon)) has just released another “report” somehow proving that the globe isn’t warming or, if that fails, that humanity has nothing to do [...]

Truth vs Truthiness: Debating Global Warming with those beyond convincing

November 17th, 2008 · Comments Off

We see this in blogging spaces, in coffee pot conversations, from right-wing talk show hosts to any conversation in the Senate including Senator James Inhofe (R-Exxon), the ever increasing frustration of those speaking with science and fact in their efforts to speak with, to engage, to convince those rejecting the science in relation to Global [...]

Pat Sajak: Gl_b_l W_rm_ng D_n_ _ r ( _ssh_l_!)

June 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Well, the man who needs a ditzy blond to help him spell words has come out of the woodworks.  Pat Sajak is a strong-worded Global Warming Skeptic.
Sadly, Wheel of Fortune’s host probably has a greater voice than the thousands of IPCC scientists with a segment of the American public … hopefullyu that segment isn’t highly [...]

Alaska as a State in Denial?

May 22nd, 2008 · 10 Comments

Forget Katrina and Louisiana (where there are many other man-made factors, such as bad river management/flood protection), Alaska is the state most affected by Global Warming. It is also on the front lines of continued Republican efforts to confront reality directly … and deny it!
Several Republican members of the Alaska State Legislature drove through, [...]

Skeptical about Skeptics? Check this out …

April 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Being skeptical about Global Warming skeptics’ arguments has proven, to date, to be a healthy and sensible way to deal with their truthiness claims and arguments.  The Heartland Institute’s distribution of a list of scientist supposedly doubting Global Warming yet again verifies the value of being skeptical about Global Warming skeptics.
DeSmogBlog decided to take a look at [...]

Judging Effectiveness of the Black Hole of Denial …

March 7th, 2008 · 5 Comments

So, at the end of the day, how effective was Heartland Institute’s Black Hole of Denial in New York City?  Well, one way to judge is via the media performance.  As DeSmogBlog notes:
Mainstream media seem to have caught up with climate change denial (caught up with reality, really), just in time to humiliate the assembled [...]

A Black Hole of Denial?

February 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Black holes collapse on themselves, with a such a density that they change the path of light with no light escaping them.  In coming days, the Global Warming disinformation organization, the Heartland Institute (”the leading propaganda mill sowing confusion about climate science“), will convene a Global Warming skeptic/delayer/denier coven with the 2008 International Conference on Climate [...]
