Trumpian climate science denial: a national security affair

February 20th, 2019 · Comments Off on Trumpian climate science denial: a national security affair

Trump’s inane rejection of climate science (and, well, fundamental statement that he is clueless about the most basic concepts of science and the scientific method) are well known, provide a comedic statement about what has become core Republican dogma, and sadly occupy the Oval Office. In all seriousness, it seemed on 5 November 2016 that […]

No, @WSJ, #GiletJaune is not about #carbontax

December 5th, 2018 · Comments Off on No, @WSJ, #GiletJaune is not about #carbontax

Paris is burning and the Wall Street Journal editorial page is gleeful in its misrepresentation of the Gilet Jaune (Yellow Vest) flames. Along with so many others in the fossil-foolish climate-science denial cabal, the WSJ editorial page is asserting that the flames are about rejecting efforts to address climate change. It is all about, for the […]

.@RealDonaldTrump tweets #climate #science denial day after @WashPost @CapitalWeather warns of this standard denial idiocy

December 28th, 2017 · 2 Comments

The classic climate science denial line: it’s cold outside, we really could use some of that global warming … It is such a standard tactic that the Washington Post’s Capital Weather gang, in association with warnings of serious (record-breaking (in many cases)) cold descending on the East Coast, warned against this. U.S. to be coldest […]

Journalism entails more than stenography: PBS Newshour malfeasance re Clean Power Plan

Turning one’s back on science: the New Mexico derivative

September 18th, 2017 · Comments Off on Turning one’s back on science: the New Mexico derivative

In the name of science, school systems — state school boards typically — around the nation are working on science standards. Much is made, by many, of American education’s need to focus on STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) (and, often now, STEAM: Science Technology Engineering Arts Mathematics). For the moment, this is the opening for […]

Oklahoma desperately needs @JimInhofe’s snowballs

February 14th, 2017 · Comments Off on Oklahoma desperately needs @JimInhofe’s snowballs

From Donald Trump to Sean Hannity to Harold Hamm to Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Exxon), one of the favorite global warming science denial idiocies is “Ha … if there’s so much warming, why’s there snow outside.”  Jim Inhofe famously had his grandchildren make an igloo mocking Al Gore and more famously wanted to start a snowball […]
