    This summer may see first ice-free North Pole

    It's an observable fact that the winter temperatures are increasing faster than the summer temperatures. Of course this has interactions on local meteorology, like wind. It doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary either. Watch this video, and pay attention to the regular outflow of...

    Tonight's slowcooker...Jambalaya

    There are really two types of Jambalaya. Creole is the style you would find in, and around the French Quarter of New Orleans. It typically has no tomato in the recipe. Cajun is that found outside of the city in the rural areas. Cajun recipes can include crawfish, oyster, alligator, and a whole...

    Tonight's slowcooker...Jambalaya

    It's a pretty simple recipe, like most slow cooker meals. 1lb cubed chicken breast 1 lb peeled and cooked shrimp 1/2 pound andouille sausage ( I substituted for tomato basil sausage) 4 roma tomatoes, diced 1 medium white onion, chopped 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped 2 stalk celery...

    Our cooling world

    That's about the response I expected. You're another fine example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. It's amazing how many people think they somehow can know better than people who are trained in the subject. I don't see many people bringing their cars to accountants to have their transmission...

    Our cooling world

    I don't listen to Gore. I have access to journals where the science he quotes comes from. In fact the only people who seem to really talk about what Gore says are his detractors. I just explained how you're wrong about using Gore's logic and what it would lead you to conclude. Nothing...

    Our cooling world

    No, not quite. Using Al Gore's logic-he shows the entire instrument record-we can see that over short time spans, the signal is not enough to overtake the noise. All experiments are models. You have an output (global mean temperature) and that is a function of controlled and uncontrolled...

    Our cooling world

    Of course there is a relationship. The solubility of a gas in a solution is inversely proportional to the temperature of that solution. If the ocean cools, then the amount of oxygen at saturation increases. If the ocean warms, then the amount of oxygen at saturation decreases. So large climate...

    Smells of death reveal a common evolution

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    The temperature history of the first millennium C.E. is sparsely documented, especially in the Arctic. We present a synthesis of decadally resolved proxy temperature records from poleward of 60°N covering the past 2000 years, which indicates that a pervasive cooling in progress 2000 years ago...

    MP's break rank with Government on asbestos

    Two Conservative MPs have broken ranks with the government over support for the asbestos industry as Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff faces criticism in Quebec for opposing the export of what he called such "dangerous substances." Conservative MP Dona Cadman of British Columbia told Canwest...

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    +1 for Trex. I can't give you any rep at this time...but you're bang on. It's really almost as bad as listening to Jenny McCarthy. We just have to hope that the people perusing the back alleys of the intertubes happen upon a bit of sane information when they are at their most receptive...it's...

    Don't they know...the evolutionists won

    Well, the Scopes trial was actually much different than what the US CoC proposes. The Scopes trial didn't even overturn the law in question: being that it was illegal to teach evolution in school, which the case proved had happened. This matter to me is just about delaying any possible...

    The mystery of sunspots

    Yup, pretty darned cold... Since Walter loves the day to day weather as an indicator... I'll go one better and give him monthly data, and back-to-back. This must mean the oceans will be boiling in the tropics very soon, according to the trends!:lol: Ocean temperatures: Warmest June on record...

    Don't they know...the evolutionists won

    There are no quick and easy answers. Read the history of this subject. Spencer Weart has a very detailed accounting of how the science has developed. You will find all the answers you need on that website.

    U.S. Chamber of Commerce seeks trial on global warming The business lobby, hoping to fend off potentially sweeping emission limits, wants the EPA to hold a 'Scopes'-like hearing on the evidence that climate change is man-made. U.S. Chamber of Commerce seeks trial...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    And coal lobbyists hire a PR firm to send out forged letters to Senators. Delivering a crushing blow to deniers everywhere. Not really though. You would need to be a rational person to find that embarrassing enough to smarten up. But that doesn't describe the ACCCE, who still are trying to get...

    Harper manipulating the scientific process

    The fate of Vancouver's medically supervised safer injecting facility, known as Insite, hangs in the balance as three B.C. Court of Appeal justices weigh arguments by the Harper government aimed at overturning an earlier ruling that provided the program a brief respite from the Tories' efforts...
