Since Dadman has been such a vocal critic of the BCS system, I know he’s going to be thrilled that Obama is going to nationalize the college championship system. That will definitely do away with all those cushy special deals that the bowls and certain colleges have managed to finagle out of the BCS! Miscreants [...]

Yet another example of the UN’s IPCC bogus science.
A STARTLING report by the United Nations climate watchdog that global warming might wipe out 40% of the Amazon rainforest was based on an unsubstantiated claim by green campaigners who had little scientific expertise.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in its 2007 benchmark report that [...]

Guy named Jay Weidner believes that Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” is a symbolic admission from Kubrick that he produced the images of the faked Apollo 11 moon landing.

This is one that I’m looking forward to. With luck they might even realize that the sun is the earth’s primary climate driver… one can hope anyway.
NASA is to embark on one of its most ambitious missions in an attempt to unlock the secrets of the sun.
Following its launch in nine days’ time, the US [...]

Yep, I predicted this too.
Recent revelations from the Climategate emails, originating from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, showed how all the data centers — most notably NOAA and NASA — conspired in the manipulation of global temperature records to suggest that temperatures in the 20th century rose faster than they [...]

I haven’t had a lot to say about Jay Leno and Conan O’Brian’s recent Tonight Show kerfuffle. Andy posted this on his blog:
I’m sure a lot of people watch this and snicker about how much of a hypocrite Jay is, but I can’t agree with that. My take on this is that Jay did exactly [...]

So… can they revoke Nobel prizes? This stuff is coming so thick and fast now that the public can’t keep up. What should be clear now is that Climatology “science” was rotton clean through. “Climatologist” is replacing “politician” in my definition of lying liars.
The chairman of the leading climate change watchdog was informed that claims [...]

I don’t know if I can decribe how promising this news is:
A major hurdle to producing fusion energy using lasers has been swept aside, results in a new report show.
The controlled fusion of atoms – creating conditions like those in our Sun – has long been touted as a possible revolutionary energy source.
However, there [...]

So the “scientist” who first sparked the frenzy of blame for autism on the MMR vaccine has been found to have faked his data and over-hyped his conclusions as well as behaving unethically and putting the children in his research at physical risk of permanent harm. It is just a coincidence that he had a [...]

Here’s a photo of Obama that I think typifies the pro-anti Obama divide. I look at this and see a sneering, arrogant, condescending jerk who has nothing but contempt for his audience. Liberals look at this and see an uplifting, thoughtful, inspiring visage of a man whose eyes are on a distant but beautiful future.

Remember on Nov 20, 2009 when I posted about the East Anglia CRU email leak? Well, one of the things I mentioned was that the East Anglia CRU had deliberately (and illegally) ignored Freedom Of Information requests and had apparently destroyed data. Well, the investigation just completed has concluded that Phil Jones broke the law [...]
