A Black Hole of Denial?

February 29th, 2008 · Comments Off on A Black Hole of Denial?

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 […]

GM’s Lutz: Still a Putz on Global Warming

Another notch in the “Inhofe Scale”

December 21st, 2007 · 7 Comments

Giving credit where credit is due is, to me, a quite pleasurable task.  Lou Grinzo’s Inhofe Scale captures the delusional nature of the Senator from Exxon.  The Inhofe Scale will be used to measure statements (but most definitely not the speakers who make them) that exhibit a noticeable and willing detachment from reality. The scale […]

Inhofian Reporting: Peerless work?

December 21st, 2007 · 29 Comments

The Minority on the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Commitee (read James Inhofe (R-Exxon)) has just released a “report”: 0ver 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007.  As a taxpayer, to start with, I am outraged that my taxes are used to support such truthiness and distortions. As a human being, […]

November 21st, 2007 · Comments Off on “What’s the wisest thing to do …”

What’s the wisest thing to do given the uncertainties and risk?

Truthiness strikes the Post again … revisited

October 15th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Last week, Washington Post subscribers awoke to an Outlook section dominated by a disingenuous article by Bjorn Lomborg.  This morning, the front-page of this influential opinion section is graced with a truthiness piece on urban heat islands:  Hot World? Blame Cities. The article, basically, asserts that suburbia is getting unfairly singled out re Global Warming […]

As per DeSmogBlog’s discussion, Pat Michaels, whose utility industry funding, private research and controversial views on global warming made him a lightning rod on climate change issues, left the office too politicized, according to officials at the University of Virgina.

Is Lomborg’s world heating up?

September 27th, 2007 · Comments Off on Is Lomborg’s world heating up?

Bjorn Lomborg is a reckless economist, pursuing disingenuous truthiness in arguing that fighting global warming isn’t worth the effort.  While, Lomborg has received serious criticism after serious criticism of his work all over the globe, it looks like his world is heating up a bit as the Post-Carbon Institute has put together a collection of […]
