Sabotage Anyone?
Should a state university add "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" to its curriculum? This is an undoubtedly interesting time to be alive. How could anyone be bored? Should I rename my Academia category, Academentia? Demented POTUS, demented polity. Madness spreads and the fish stinks from the head. Update (3:39 pm): More academentia at UCLA…

The Great Blizzard of ’78 Remembered
I had an odd schedule in those days. I hit the sack at four in the afternoon and got up at midnight. I caught the last trolley of the night to the end of the line, Boston College station. Got off, hiked up the hill to my office where I worked all night on my…

Questions about Global Warming
Crisis or hoax? How much of which? At the top of the Stack. …………….. Ed Buckner writes, I can help with your first three questions. 1. Is global warming (GW) occurring? 2. If yes to (1), is it naturally irreversible, or is it likely to reverse itself on its own? And if irreversible, how would…

Energy Policy: The Dementocratic Approach
I gassed up the Jeep Wrangler this morning to the tune of 62.83 semolians for 13.787 U. S. gallons of regular at $4.499 per gallon at Costco in Mesa, Arizona. The line was not bad at all a little before noon. Victor Davis Hanson comments on the big picture: Climate-change moralists love humanity so much…

Climate Bluster
A redacted version of a Facebook entry from about a year ago. ……………………………….. He who does not know is inclined to pretend. A world of ignorance is a world of bluster. One species thereof is climate bluster. "The science is settled!" It is not. What is settled, but only among leftists, is climate…

Climate Bluster
He who does not know is inclined to pretend. A world of ignorance is a world of bluster. One species thereof is climate bluster. "The science is settled!" It is not. What is settled, but only among leftists, is climate ideology. What drives the ideology is hostility to individual liberty and its sine qua non,…

How Cold Is It?
Answer here. Trigger Warning! Do not (Melissa) click on this link if you are a snowflake or otherwise p.c-whipped. Seriously politically incorrect content! Weather is not the same as climate. We all know that. But some seem to think that any sort of weather is evidence for one sort of climate. Here. Just as all…

It’s a Dry Heat
It's hot and dry in these parts this time of year, the candy-assed snowbirds have all flown back to their humid nests, and we desert rats like it plenty. That's why we live here. It takes a special breed of cat to be a desert rat. You Californians stay put in your gun-grabbing, liberty-bashing, People's…

Did You Know that there are Climate Heretics?
Malcolm Pollack quotes extensively from Dr. Judith Curry, climatologist, about whom Scientific American published an article in 2010 entitled, "Climate Heretic Judith Curry Turns on Her Colleagues." If Islam is an anti-Enlightenment political ideology masquerading as a religion, then current climatology is an anti-capitalist political ideology masquerading as an empirical science. Or am I exaggerating? …

The Empirical and the Experimental
The hard sciences are not only empirical but experimental. I leave it to you to work out the distinction and to pursue the question as to how 'hard' climate science is.

A Leftish Defense of the Objectivity of Truth
Here in The Chronicle of Higher Education. You know you are dealing with a lefty when he gets off the phrase, "climate-change denial." Memo to Peter Lupu: I would like to hear your opinion of this article. You might subject it to a Facebook fisking. It should turn your crank, especially the benighted comments. I…
