Is It Getting Warmer?

I first saw this video of Alan Carlin from the EPA over at Gore Lied.  I thought you should take a look.

I think Dr. Carlin looks pretty credible.  He is obviously not a great public speaker and he can probably count on one hand the number of times he has been interviewed on national television on one hand. He, wisely, doesn’t do a lot guessing in his interview and he even answers one question by saying that he can only report on what he was told.  Good for him - report the facts and let the conclusion grow from there.

I want to wish Mr. Carlin well - it is quite likely that this episode has injured his career and once again we see that the EPA is not really run by wise people!  Does everyone remember when the EPA was so derided that Ghostbusters even made fun of it?

Of course, Gretchen Carlson, asks the typical idiot question that she normally asks - this time stating she thinks that a law was broken.  Seriously, this woman needs to get off of national television. I was in a market that she covered earlier in her career and she was foolish then as well.  She is the reason that I rarely watch Fox and Friends.

Funny title.  You may have to read it a couple times to get it.  I didn’t create it - I am not that creative.

Kim Strassel has an opinion in the Wall Street Journal where she does a fair amount of reporting on the difficulties that politicians are having in dealing with the coming global warming catastrophe. It seems that politicians are a lot like many of my readers, when scientists can’t agree on what is happening (and not just little disagreements but violently opposed to each other) one should probably wait to spend trillions of dollars on which side is correct.

Here are some highlights from Ms. Strassel’s article:  Read more... (532 words, estimated 2:08 mins reading time)

I am going to continue to let Climate Skeptic keep up the good work on the latest report from the US Administration regarding the dire circumstances of global warming. He has posted again on the subject and has even done a follow-on to the worry the increased storm activity is upsetting the electrical grid (post number 4 on the subject).  Read more...

It seems that everyone else is doing a great job of beating up the report.  I am not sure that I will have to spend any time on it since everyone else is really challenging the science and the techniques in the report.  The folks at RealClimate appear to be quiet on it though.  I would be interested in their thoughts and if they will follow blindly or will they actually be critical of the parts that bear questioning?

If you read this site often, you will think that title implies something about statements that former US Vice President Al Gore made regarding global warming. If you so thought, you are only partially correct. I just read an article about another scientific issue that EVERYONE thought was true. 

For years, it has been assumed that one or two drinks of alcohol per day were good for you. I am sure the vintners of the world helped to increase that belief. Now, the NY Times (and I saw it on Lifehacker) is reporting that this may not be true. It seems that just because healthy people drink an occasional glass of wine, the wine itself is not making them healthy!  Read more... (243 words, 1 image, estimated 58 secs reading time)
