The house of cards that is AGW is suffering another setback. Already the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has airbrushed the infamous Mann Hokcey Stick from its latest report. Today, the IPCC announced they are going to do the same with the statement that "Himalayan Glaciers may disappear by 2035". And this time the error is a lot worse. While the Mann Hockey Stick at least had some backing by people in the field (later shown to be bad science), the claim on the ...
This is a rebutal to a comment posted on this Blog: https://forums.joeuser.com/370739/page/35/#2506096 I chose to make it an article in itself because of the length. I have linked to the original article and want to thank SivCorp for allowing me to comment on their blog. I beleive the original comment that I am rebutting is an attempt to rebut one of my own articles, but the blogger never posted there.

By now, anyone with even a passing fancy to the Anthropogenic Global Warming debate has heard of the infamous hockey stick graph. This was a graph, originally created by Michael Mann that showed that man was cooking the planet. It was the basis for virtually all the proof that the AGW proponents put forward that we were doomed unless we dumped all technology and reverted to prehistoric days. The problem with the graph is that it is a lie. At best it was a product of flawed sc...
The (non?) Bias of the media is not getting better (even though their ratings and circultation continue to plummet) than in 2 recent stories on CNN. The first was about Shiela Dixon, mayor of Baltimore: (CNN CAPTION: “Baltimore Mayor Indicted: Sheila Dixon indicted on 12 counts, including perjury and theft”) KYRA PHILLIPS: Oh, as if we don’t have enough public corruption within our politics to report, we’ve got another piece of news that [is] just d...
At the urging of Big Fat Daddy, I submit this revelation to the state bound population of the US. Those in Europe will probably read this and go "duh!". But you have to understand that this nation was settled by some puritans and the strain still runs through the population to a degree. I spent most of my youth living near an ocean, so swimming was always a summer activity. But when we moved to Germany at the start of my junior year of High School, the nearest ocean was seve...
Many of the faithful have denigrated skeptics by calling them names, throwing insults, and basically crying for their beheading at the new Spanish Inquisition. Surprising if you believe in AGW. If indeed it is a "fact", why are threats and insults needed? As more and more of the research that has gone into AGW is being called into question, these same faithful have started a new tactic. Impugn the reputation. Malign the skeptics accusing them with association and payof...
We believe in one God the Global Climate Change, Destroyer of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. A proponent of Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) told me the other day that “97% of Climate Scientists know AGW is a FACT!” (his words exactly). I called him a liar. And I never touched Google (or Bing). What has gotten lost in the latest development of AGW, the East Anglia emails and source code, and indeed it has bee...
Two Months ago, America validated Martin Luther King's vision. Today, Liberals, the Mainstream Media and the vested racial animosity groups drove us back 45 years. 2 months ago, America elected a black man as president. Disregarding his race as a factor in stating they wanted a change. But for the past year, Liberals, Race Ambulance Chasers, the Mainstream Media have worked doggedly to destroy King's vision. And to turn back the hands of time so that instead of be...
As they say, no good deed goes unpunished, or bad deed unrewarded. It appears that not only did a lot of "evil rich" people get stuck when Madoff swindles $50b, but some organizations did as well. And none more deserving of the swindle than Planned Parenthood. While they only lost 20% (apparently) of their funds, at least it was a start. And what are they doing investing donations in the first place? Madoff was not a saving bank, but supposedly an investment firm. ...
2 stories, half a world apart. Linked by common themes, but you will not find Sean Penn or Madonna talking about them now. In story one, http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,477425,00.html we find that the Grand and Glorious Socialist republic of Russia (formerly the USSR) has decided to cut the heat to its neighbors. Why? They are not too keen on being dictated to by the former masters in Moscow. So much for the humanitarian leaders of Russia. The "noble" ones t...
With the US struggling with a recession, large companies going belly up, bailouts totalling trillions of dollars, what is congress doing in all this? HOw are they helping the economy? By using the Trickle down theory apparently. They just voted themselves a $4,700 pay raise! So I guess they think they themselves are going to spend the economy out of this recession? When they sit an lecture CEOs on their salary and bonuses, when they sit and condemn extravagant salaries, w...
Does anyone out there have a recommendation or 2 about a good Motherboard that takes LOTS of RAM (at least 8gb folks - what good is 64bit processing if you cant use it?)? My wife asked me my christmas wants, and so I started looking. Not on my normal sites! Seems 4gb is the top end before you get to the nose bleed sections (we are not that rich). I am looking for Intel (bad taste from AMD) if at all possible.
Recently, several members of JU have been engaged over the latest hot political topic in the US - The Auto Bailout. Tis the season as they say, but not the Christmas one. As it appears every company that now has to struggle is going hat in hand to congress for a bailout. And the Auto industry is just the latest. In the discussions that ensued, one of the popular themes was that the only reason the Auto industry was asking for the bail out, and congress - solidly in the democ...
Joeuser has had a lot of people posting very unkind (and that is being kind) things about Sarah Palin. It seems that every time they come up with something to bolster their hate (bias) of her, someone else has to come up with the truth. MOre often than not the perpetrator will not believe it, and deny it (they still deny that Joe the Plumber is named Joe and is a Plumber). Adding to the long list of "I hate her so I will believe anything about her" lines on Palin is Africa.&...
Headlines in the conservative internet blare "Bought for $650m". Referring to the white house. But was it? Despite spending an obscene amount of cash. Despite Obama breaking his pledge, and spending (Wasting?) his money on a 1/2 hour infomercial, his money played a very small part in the election. Oh, I am not saying you dont "need" money. But there comes a time when the money is wasted. And it is obvious that there was a lot of waste. Getting calls 3...
