On Al Gore Buying Carbon Credits From a Company (Generation Investment Management) that He Himself Owns

You just can't make this stuff up, folks.

Channeling McKinley and (Teddy) Roosevelt

"Let's see, we just killed off all of the plains Indians (in order to build the railroads). What do we do now? Hm.......Hey, I got it! Let's start slaughtering the Spaniards and Filipinos. Yeah, that's the ticket!"

On Why the Climate Models Were So Inaccurate

It was because they were based on two equally erroneous assumptions; a) that the climate is inherently stable and b) that the major driver of climate change is CO2 - assumptions that even a second year earth science student should have been able to detect were absurd but which the well-connected ruling class utterly failed to.

On the Federal Reserve System

I much prefer to call it the money spigot for the Washington war-machine.

On the Sordid Donald Sterling Saga

Yes, he's unquestionably an asshole. But I am just am much disturbed by the fact that somebody taped him without his knowledge and in his own home. These were private conversations, people, and do you really think that somebody like Al Sharpton would fare significantly better if we were to bug his home. I mean, he's already uttered such despicable statements as "Greek homos", "Chinamen, "white interlopers", "crackers", and "niggers" (part of a slanderous rant against David Dinkins), and that was when he wanted to be heard. Can you even begin to imagine this dude's innermost thoughts?

Three Strikes and You're Out There - Way, WAY, Out There - Addendum

Let me repeat the basic point one more time. Those climate predictions which were made by James Hansen and Ben Santer in the early '90s haven't just proven to be a little wrong. THEY WERE AS WRONG AS WRONG CAN BE (the actual temperatures having been lower than even what they predicted with a draconian decrease in CO2, and neither is there a hot spot). Please, PLEASE, give me one logical reason as to why we should continue to give these people (who have also been proven over and over again to be dishonest) credence. It makes no sense............................................................................................And think about it for a minute. If you were to accidentally swallow some poison and/or fall prey to an infection or parasite, are there properties in your body which would make these invading agents worse, or are there properties in your body which would mediate the effects? Of course it the latter, right (mucus, inflammation, excretion, an elevation in temperature, etc.)? Well, that is how the earth is also (i.e., a natural system) and why it has been proven (via a measuring of outgoing radiation) fairly categorically that the feedbacks pertaining to increases in CO2 have not been positive (as the alamists have predicted) BUT NEGATIVE. I mean, it's common sense, for Christ..............................................................................................P.S. And even if what these individuals have been saying IS true, it would be far, FAR, less expensive to to adapt to these changes than it ever would be to prevent them (using THEIR data I conservatively estimate it to be 27:1) - if in fact we could prevent them (the fact that even if we were able to drastically reduce OUR carbon footprint, China, Brazil, India, and the rest of the developing world unquestionably would not).

On Rush Limbaugh Inserting Partisan Politics into the Sordid Donald Sterling Saga

Is there anything that this asshole won't insert his two cents worth into?
