Someone Asks A Simple Question

And look what happens. What a tap dance. This is the 2 minute segment of the debate, all you need to know about this Clinton. We don't need more Clintons, nor more Bushs. Just that simple.

72% of New Yorkers say no to drivers licenses for illegals. How out of touch can you get?

Magic Act

Abracadabra, poof.

Inconvient Opposition

Here's the kind of information the ``scientific consensus" types don't want you to read. MIT's Alfred P. Sloan professor of meteorology Richard Lindzen recently complained about the ``shrill alarmism" of Gore's movie ``An Inconvenient Truth." Lindzen acknowledges that global warming is real, and he acknowledges that increased carbon emissions might be causing the warming -- but they also might not.

``We do not understand the natural internal variability of climate change" is one of Lindzen's many heresies, along with such zingers as ``the Arctic was as warm or warmer in 1940," ``the evidence so far suggests that the Greenland ice sheet is actually growing on average," and ``Alpine glaciers have been retreating since the early 19th century, and were advancing for several centuries before that. Since about 1970, many of the glaciers have stopped retreating and some are now advancing again. And, frankly, we don't know why."

Climate Catastrophe Cancelled

I would say that despite the Goracle's nobel prize they have in fact lost the battle to corrupt science to their political ends.

CO2 is a really, really small part of the atmosphere. Currently CO2 makes up about 0.0378% of the atmosphere, up from an estimated 0.0280% before the industrial revolution. AGW advocates are arguing that a CO2 concentration increase of 0.009% has heated the world over a half a degree C.

Big Full Moon

This week's full Moon is the biggest full Moon of 2007. It's no illusion. Some full Moons are genuinely larger than others and Thursday night's will be a whopper. Why? Read the answer below.

Left: A big, bright perigee Moon. RIght: A lesser apogee Moon.

The Moon's orbit is an ellipse with one side 30,000 miles closer to Earth than the other. The full Moon of Oct. 25-26 is located on the near side, making it appear as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than lesser full Moons we've seen earlier in 2007.

In the language of astronomy, the two ends of the Moon's orbit are called "apogee" and "perigee." Apogee is the farthest point, perigee the nearest: diagram. This week's full Moon is a "perigee Moon" with extra-high "perigean tides."

The Moon is 14% bigger, but can you actually tell the difference? It's not so easy. There are no rulers floating in the sky to measure lunar diameters. A fun experiment: Take a friend outside Thursday night and ask if they notice anything unusual about the Moon. Explain perigee after they answer.

Climate Prediction

Climate prediction is a science based on computer models, not empirical data capable of being verified or disproved by observation or experiment. The computer program, and there are more than one, assumes a bunch of things as input and regurgitates a bunch of things the computer program calculates might happen. The understanding of the interdependencies and interactions between the 'input things' is not fully understood, nor is the interdependencies and interactions between the 'output things'. A bunch of really shaky models we have here to base taxes and future policies on.

Michael Crichton has some words for predictions: "Nobody believes a weather prediction twelve hours ahead. Now we're being asked to believe a prediction that goes out 100 years into the future? And make financial investments based on that prediction? Has everybody lost their minds?"

He goes on to point out:

"Let's think back to people in 1900 in, say, New York. If they worried about people in 2000, what would they worry about? Probably: Where would people get enough horses? And what would they do about all the horseshit? Horse pollution was bad in 1900, think how much worse it would be a century later, with so many more people riding horses?

"But of course, within a few years, nobody rode horses except for sport. And in 2000, France was getting 80% its power from an energy source that was unknown in 1900. Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Japan were getting more than 30% from this source, unknown in 1900. Remember, people in 1900 didn't know what an atom was. They didn't know its structure. They also didn't know what a radio was, or an airport, or a movie, or a television, or a computer, or a cell phone, or a jet, an antibiotic, a rocket, a satellite, an MRI, ICU, IUD, IBM, IRA, ERA, EEG, EPA, IRS, DOD, PCP, HTML, internet. interferon….

"Now. You tell me you can predict the world of 2100. Tell me it's even worth thinking about. Our models just carry the present into the future. They're bound to be wrong. Everybody who gives a moment's thought knows it."

Mosquitoes

West Nile Virus


Dengue fever


Malaria


Where the coverage of infection is for various types of mosquito born diseases. When you live in mosquito country you pay attention.

The DDT myth was thoroughly discredited, and now WHO, since 2005, is recommending that DDT be used in malaria prone areas. Bet you didn't know WHO is recommends and is now actively using, DDT did you -- If you didn't see this in the newspaper, that is just one more reason that the newspaper is no longer a credible source of anything except leftist orthodoxy, and even then it is going to contain the favorite lies of the left.

All Quite, Sunspot Predictions, Cycle 24

The image is from Hinode X-ray Telescope, October 21, 2007. A solar wind stream flowing from the dark coronal hole should reach Earth on Oct. 25th or 26th.

Current sunspot cycle, enlarged to show recent detail. To predict the turning is not possible, to be sure that an actual low turning-point has been reached there has to be a substantial rise.


The official NOAA, NASA, and ISES Solar Cycle 24 prediction was released by the Solar Cycle 24 Prediction Panel on April 25, 2007. The Prediction Panel included members from NOAA, NASA, ISES and other US and International representatives. Press Briefings and presentations at the SEC Space Weather Workshop, plus additional announcements and information from the Panel are linked below. The Panel expects to update this prediction annually.

The Panel considered all Predictions of Solar Cycle 24 they found in the literature or received directly from an author. The May 24, 2007 List shows the predictions considered.

What is interesting about the current sunspot cycle, or lack thereof, is history has shown us, the sun is unpredictable. It can be really hot one cycle, generating lots os sunspots, and then almost go to zero during the next sunspot cycle for no apparent reason. The Dalton Minimum was a period of low solar activity, lasting from about 1790 to 1820. Like the Maunder Minimum and Sporer Minimum it coincided with a period of lower than average global temperatures.Historical context of sunspots over the last few hundred years.

Global Warming Doomsday Called Off

ABC’s 20/20 John Stossel on Climate Change “Give me a break!”

U.S. public schools don't indoctrinate children, do they?

From the UK courts comes this ... The judge had stated that, if the UK Government had not agreed to send to every secondary school in England a corrected guidance note making clear the mainstream scientific position on these nine “errors”, he would have made a finding that the Government’s distribution of the film and the first draft of the guidance note earlier in 2007 to all English secondary schools had been an unlawful contravention of an Act of Parliament prohibiting the political indoctrination of children.

Christopher Monckton of Brenchley put together a more thorough response to the lies in the Goracle's global warming for the ignorant film.
