What do you mean by climate hoaxers? Skeptics on any topic are pretty much always a coalition nut jobs and rationalists. Climate change is no different, but by using the term hoaxer, you are essentially castigating everyone with the same conspiratory brush. That's like saying everyone who is...

The Climate Wars’ Damage to Science The great thing about science is that it’s self-correcting. The good drives out the bad, because experiments get replicated and hypotheses tested -- or so I used to think. Now, thanks largely to climate science, I see bad ideas can persist for decades, and...

22% is pretty substantial considering the fact that the believers are totally convinced that 97% agree, and that the science is settle (even though it clearly isn't).

The polls actually show significant dissent, but that doesn't really matter because consensus is not what determines truth. You are basically saying that the idea that 9/11 was an inside job, the moon landing was faked, etc. are not true because the vast majority of experts say otherwise. No...

Are you guys done yet? The problem is that AGW continues to fail the observation and experimentation test. New York was supposed to be flooded by the year 2015. Polar bears were supposed to have been endangered, Arctic sea ice was supposed to have disappeared by 2012, etc. "If it disagrees...

You are confusing science with politics. Science works when dissent is allowed! Otherwise, it's politics. It's perfectly okay and scientific to have two different studies - say on the health impacts of red meat - drawing contrasting conclusions. Science only works when climate change skeptics...

We don't know when he will come but we know where he will come from. When the Mahdi comes he will rule for 7 years in peace with the Jews and a treaty will be signed, and then half way through, the Mahdi will rise up because the Jews refused to live in peace. The Jews and Christians will rebel...

Barbara Kay: It’s amazing anyone still takes Paul Ehrlich’s doomsday predictions seriously I was quite unnerved this morning to read that a scientist had predicted the earth might be once again coming to an end in a “mass extinction event.” (There have been five previous cataclysmic events...

Go to any leftwing website like this, or better yet, talk to one on the street. Ask them two questions: 1) What is the major cause of war and conflict in the world? 2) Is ISIS Islamic? Not surprisingly, the answer they give to the first question is "religion." Religion is very bad. Hitler was...

Yesterday the temperature hit 36.7 degrees in Penticton, BC. The only place hotter in Canada was Ashcroft at 36.9C. Anyway, the 36.7C reading in Penticton beat the old record for June 8th, set back in the 1920s, by 4 degrees. In addition, this was the first that a temperature this hot has ever...

I picked one station because it has long data records. I have looked at other stations in BC, and they all show the same trends (with the exception of Tatlayoko Lake and Lytton where the temperature has been cooling for 70 years). The jet stream has not become more erratic, but you are right...

That is true in the general sense. There are a lot more diseases etc. in the tropics than the northern boreal forests for example. The problem is, however, people make wide sweeping claims such that they blame everything under the sun on global warming. If we say that warming of winter and...

I'd be interested why you think the pine beetle epidemic is related to climate change. The pine beetle epidemic has now ended naturally just as it has typically done in the past -- that is from beetles getting weak and vulnerable from overpopulation (just like rabbits and any other species in...
