It looks like the scientists who have predicted unending global warming caused by CO2 emissions may be in serious error. No one knows exactly how much Earth’s climate will warm due to carbon emissions, but a new study this week suggests scientists’ best predictions about global warming might be incorrect. The study, which appears in…

Sarah Palin has a few words to say about climate change. There is no shortage of threats to our economy. America’s unemployment rate recently hit its highest mark in more than 25 years and is expected to continue climbing. Worries are widespread that even when the economy finally rebounds, the recovery won’t bring jobs. Our…

Sarah Palin is upsetting the political apple cart by promising to support Republicans and Democrats who support her agenda. Here is an excerpt from the Washington Times posted at the above link. The former Republican vice-presidential nominee and heroine to much of the GOP’s base said in an interview she views the electorate as embattled…

The G8 last week decreed that the governments of the world were going to work real hard to prevent the global temperature from rising more than 2° C. When King Canute of lore wanted to teach his citizens a lesson, he set his throne by the seashore and commanded the tides to roll out. Canute’s…

John Holdren, Obama’s Science Adviser has some advice for curing the ills of the globe and especially America. * Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not; * The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food; *…

Well not actually. It was the 153 Anniversary of his birthday. So I’m a day late. No matter. Tesla is always interesting. If you would like to read some Tesla in his own words (plus some other really whacked out sh*t) I really like this book: The Fantastic Inventions of Nikola Tesla (The Lost Science…

Ian Plimer says human induced global warming is the biggest con trick in history. Imagine how wonderful the world would be if man-made global warming were just a figment of Al Gore’s imagination. No more ugly wind farms to darken our sunlit uplands. No more whopping electricity bills, artificially inflated by EU-imposed carbon taxes. No…

Paul Krugman says that another stimulus is needed to get the economy moving. (from July 2nd) O.K., Thursday’s jobs report settles it. We’re going to need a bigger stimulus. But does the president know that? Let’s do the math. Since the recession began, the U.S. economy has lost 6 ½ million jobs — and as…

Some interesting things are going on in New York State. During the long years of Republican control, the all-white GOP “conference” would regularly bemoan its lack of diversity, and make extra efforts to recruit minority Senate candidates and hire minority staff. During the first five months of this year, with the Senate under the control…

Barry Rubin tells on Facebook Why Obama Doesn’t Understand Putin; Why Putin Doesn’t Like Obama Mr Rubin then says at this link: If one looks deeper into Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s annoyance at U.S. President Barack Obama it reveals a lot more than just the differences between the leadership in Moscow and Washington.

After years of Bush=Hitler the lefties are all upset about this ad comparing Obama to Ahmadinejad. One other parallel they forgot to mention in the ad is people taking to the streets (Tea Parties). It is true that there is no violent suppression in America but otherwise it adds to the parallels. Hitler got about…

It doesn’t matter who the Rs run. Americans generally favor divided government. And given the the #1 Democrat promised that massive spending would keep unemployment from going above 8% and it is now 9.5% and still rising it may be time for Change and A New Hope. (cue up Star Wars theme music). Since we…

Carbon is going to be the next big thing in computer chips. Carbon–the basis of all organic compounds–seems destined to displace silicon as the material of choice for future semiconductors. According to researchers, various structures based on the element that sits just above silicon on the Periodic Table can surpass silicon’s abilities in thermal performance,…

At Israpundit Mario Goveia has done a guest post on our Sarah. Mario makes a very good point: The US left wing is justifiably terrified of Palin and have begun to realize why she earned the nickname Sarah Barracuda as a high school athlete. Unlike them, she stands as a real-life example of real feminism,…

Here is a nice little cartoon about a country that is making real progress in curbing “greenhouse gas” production. H/T Duane J. Oldsen at Talk Polywell and Eric at Classical Values who helped format the picture.

It looks like Andrew “I had Trig Palin’s Baby” Sullivan and the rest of the Palin haters have caused Sarah Palin to decline to run for a second term as Alaska’s Governor. From Facebook. Some say things changed for me on August 29th last year – the day John McCain tapped me to be his…

I remember when the micro-computer trade shows started. A few years after the first ones we had an industry. I think hemp/marijuana will follow a similar track. This video was put out by the same folks who put out the It Gave Me Hope video. If you want to grow your own hope this book…
