Bill Whittle has made another excellent video about the American Dream. He talks about the efforts of the Alinsky Left to break our hopes and our dreams. The funny thing is even the left acknowledges the power of hope in America. They ran their election campaign on it. Bill’s diatribe is an exhortation to, as…

Climate researchers at Penn State are in for a nasty shock this morning. As I said yesterday, one of our jobs this year is to wipe the complacent smiles off the smug faces of the lobbyists, “experts”, “scientists”, politicians and activists pushing AGW. This is why I am so glad to report that Michael Mann…

The IPCC has some interesting things to say about water vapor and clouds: Recent studies reaffirm that the spread of climate sensitivity estimates among models arises primarily from inter-model differences in cloud feedbacks. The shortwave impact of changes in boundary-layer clouds, and to a lesser extent midlevel clouds, constitutes the largest contributor to inter-model differences…

Andrew Cockburn, who is not a conservative politically, has a few words about what is really behind the global warming scam. You will note that the piece appears on Counter Punch which is not in any way shape or form associated with American Conservative thought. Shortly before the Copenhagen summit the proponents of anthropogenic –…

There has been a discussion in the comment section of Watts Up With That about the use of tow vs toe in the phrase “Toe the line”. It means not exceeding bounds or limits. A commenter there said: Aaagh! I can’t stand it any longer! The phrase is “toeing the line” i.e. “not stepping over…

Not really old history just forgotten according to history Professor David Kaiser. How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages,…

It looks like Al Gore is not the only one involved in making big money on CO2 trading. The Head of The IPCC, Dr Rajendra Pachauri, is in on it as well. Although Dr Pachauri is often presented as a scientist (he was even once described by the BBC as “the world’s top climate scientist”),…

I have been sitting on this story for a couple of days – waiting for verification. I now have some. Watts Up With That says that the CRU (of ClimateGate fame) cherry picked Russian data. And you probably couldn’t guess this in a million years, but they left out the data from the coldest stations.…

That I think is one of the most eloquent points ever made against the alternative energy craze as it is currently being manifested. We know what the world looks like now. How will it look if we have to get 100% of our energy from natural sources with technology that is available now? Or even…

The Associated Press puts one of their top reporters on the ClimateGate scandal. LONDON – E-mails stolen from climate scientists show they stonewalled skeptics and discussed hiding data — but the messages don’t support claims that the science of global warming was faked, according to an exhaustive review by The Associated Press. Ah. Yes. It…

Note what a warm welcome Wm. Shatner gets when he comes on. Then note how much warmer the welcome for Sarah is. More reactions at Hill Buzz. And if you want to read Sarah’s book to make sure Shatner got his lines right may I suggest: Going Rogue: An American Life Cross Posted at Power…

Conserve momentum comrades? I don’t think so. The time has come to liberate it from those who have captured it in the name of greed and personal profit. Cross Posted at Power and Control

I. “DEFINITION.” MAGICK is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will. (Illustration: It is my Will to inform the World of certain facts within my knowledge. I therefore take “magical weapons”, pen, ink, and paper; I write “incantations” — these sentences — in the “magical language” i.e. that which…

Yep. Not only have we had the leak of the CRU Data. We now have in addition a big leak from the Copenhagen Climate Summit. It seems as if Clancy or some one like him has decided to sing. Maybe a lot of Clancys. The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing…
