So Much for That Global Warming Thing...

2008-07-10T02:51:00Z

Like a mouse to a trap with cheese, a committed local climate follower sprung the hyperlink on Drudge today. The article was out of Australia discussing a case study of a patient who was suffering from depression. The utter irony of the situati...

Looks like Hawaii is making solar mandatory in all new homes. Hawaii has become the first state to require solar water heaters in new homes. The bill was signed into law by Governor Linda Lingle, a Republican. It requires the energy-saving system...

It is Inevitable Now...

2008-05-12T18:03:25Z

Quick. How do you make a hardcore, Bush-loving, Republican's head explode? Oh yeah, this way: Republican John McCain pledged to take the lead in combating global climate change if elected president in a speech that set him apart from the polici...

Signal v. Noise

2008-05-10T22:47:51Z

Real Climate had a pretty good article a few weeks ago about Edward Lorenz, who recently died. The article speaks of Lorenz's butterfly effect, atmospheric modeling, and chaotic systems. The article is definitely worth reading, but I found the l...

Solar Variation/Cloud Cover Data Not Backing Up Cosmic Ray Theory?

2008-04-03T18:03:52Z

Looks like there is more scientific evidence that the sun/cosmic ray hypothesis (Svensmark) that skeptics argue is not panning out in data set analysis. Professor Sloan's team investigated the link by looking for periods in time and for places on...

Turnering Up the Warming Rhetoric

2008-04-02T14:54:04Z

Ted Turner on not taking "drastic action to correct global warming"... Not doing it will be catastrophic. We'll be eight degrees hotter in ten, not ten but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have die...

Stop the Presses!

2008-01-14T03:12:11Z
