Scientists Stuck in the Ice
If you’re a traveler stranded by snow, ice, and sub zero temps this weekend you’re not alone.
Scientists Stuck in the Ice
A boatload of scientists on their way to measure the loss of antarctic sea ice got stuck in the ice. They were rescued by helicopter for evacuation to a Chinese ship – which is now also stuck in the global warming denying ice. Fortunately the scientists planned ahead and planted trees to offset their carbon emissions.
Update: I know weather isn’t climate but still…
And finally – Mark Steyn, Ship of Fools
Light Bulb Ban
It’s 2014 and, thanks to President Bush, the creation of incandescent light bulbs is now banned.
Will mercury contamination from EPA mandated fluorescent lightbulbs become the lead paint issue of the future?
Light Bulb Ban
A story in the Washington Examiner blames the light bulb ban on a conspiracy between big makers of the low margin bulbs and government.
Climate Conjecture
A new climate study hit the news last week. It predicts extremely hot temperatures in specific locations more than 50 years out. It uses computer modeling. Past computer models have done a poor job of predicting climate that has already happened. Maybe these are better models. Who knows?
Climate Change
In a major speech on climate change, the president declared war on coal without congressional, or even U.N., authorization. Instead the EPA will lead the charge against CO2 emissions.
Those emissions, by the way, declined in the US over the last 15 years, while soaring world-wide. Global warming has stalled over the same period according to The Economist.
Here’s the blow by blow in the battle for the hearts, minds, and votes of carbon based life forms.
Snow Job
It’s snowing on the mainstream media. In “potentially historic” proportions. Ever since The Weather Channel started naming snowstorms I knew we were in trouble.
