What's up with the sale of Nexen to CNOOC? You know that China doesn't love you like your Uncle Sam.

The Hero of the International Left has struck again. Barack Obama has transformed himself into Buck Rogers, 25th Century Warrior. America is broke, but the Hero of the Left is seizing the "high ground." Is this not pleasing to the International Left? Here's what I'm talking about, the X-37b...

Don't worry, the Earth is going to cool down: Small Nuclear War Could Reverse Global Warming for Years?

Intent and perception are subjective. I would prefer that you not mention me or any personal characteristic. Mentioning me or my characteristics is reasonably susceptible to interpretation as perjorative. Care is required to avoid offending others. We focus on the issues. Notice that I...

You gain nothing by insulting me. Nothing whatsoever. Insults only diminish the person doing the insulting. If global warming is real, then it's effects will spread through the entire biosphere, from one ecosystem to another. Who should investigate? Scientists who are independent and who...

1. I haven't proposed any model. I am your fellow member of cc. That makes us part of a community of discussion. Your fellow members are never the subject of discussion. 2. "Mr. Russell took pains to present his committee, which consisted of four other academics, as independent. He told...

1. Don't talk about me. I'm not the issue. 2. Patrick Michaels was not a member of the Tribunal. Thus, there is no impropriety or lack of independence on his part in connection rendering judgment on the alleged Climategate affair. 3. The sole issue is the independence and appearance of...

Any investigation which has investigators related, affiliated, interested, or sharing a common interest in any way to, or with the subject of the investigation has the appearance of impropriety even if there is no actual impropriety. AGW may very well be true. But that isn't the point.
