Folks, editing this into real English! Steve McIntyre, a retired business man from Canada who is well versed in statistical methods, has been uncovering a number of serious and fatal flaws in the science of global warming. One of his most famous is where he showed how warmists (and Al Gore) were splicing two data […]

The November unemployment rate made a modest (and statistically insignificant) turn for the better with the claim that America only lost 11,000 jobs in November. That claim seems wildly suspect. It seems implausible that we went from losing 190,000 jobs in October to only 11,000 jobs lost in November Weekly first time jobless claims fell […]

While Harry Reid keeps trying to put lipstick on the pig of a bill in the Senate, he and his cohorts accidentally tripped over a very smart solution to the problems of Health Care and the economy – and the fools don’t even know they did! One of the largest burdens on small business is […]

I was having this minor debate on the fallacies of alarmists’ science in the comment section of Air Vent and decided I needed to post on this because the infant climate science (and it is in its infancy) is making some fundamental mistakes. The momentum that built up behind the man-made global warming fad (and […]

This is why real scientists share their data, algorithms and code for peer review, to ensure there is no crazy fudging of data. More and more people are out looking at the raw temperature record and comparing it to the man-made global warming (AGW) alarmists’ ‘adjusted’ data and discovering the same pattern. This time it […]

If you are comfortable using excel and converting text files to data tables and overlaying graphs or screen shots, you too can help prove whether man-made global warming is real or a crafted statistical mirage! Reader grumpguy went to the NASA GISS site and pulled down data for one station in New York. What he […]

The Transportation Security Agency (TSA) just had one of those ‘bureaucracy moments”. You know, where the safety of lifetime job tenure allows a team of so called professionals to bungle something out of lazy incompetence. Somebody let all the security screening secrets out on the world wide web (they don’t call it www for nothing): […]

The UN IPCC is having a hell of a first couple of days in Copenhagen. Climategate really smashed the confidence of the world when seeing all these grand declarations from proponents of AGW (and the millions of dollars that go with it). The media and politicians, well in over their heads on the math and […]

I am very surprised to see this kind of reporting from a CBS news website: The leaked electronic files have proven problematic because the argument for an international treaty is attached to this chain of reasoning: the earth is warming, the primary cause is man-made carbon dioxide emissions, the effect is harmful and can be […]

The climate summit in Copenhagen just imploded over back room power politics which was leaked to the newspapers: The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries […]
