Calling all science guys and gals! I came across this piece in The London Telegraph on how thorium is the “magic bullet” — or may be — that renders oil and uranium obsolete. There is no certain bet in nuclear physics but work by Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) [...] From today’s Washington Times… President Obama’s EPA is already well down the path to regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, something the act was not designed to do. It has a problem, however, because shoehorning greenhouse gases into that 40-year-old law would force churches, schools, warehouses, commercial kitchens and other sources to obtain costly [...] Stephen Hawking… super genius… thinks we should abandon planet Earth. Right. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has some advice for the people of Earth – it’s time to get off. “I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space,” Hawking said to Big Think , a global forum that includes interviews with experts. “It [...]
Battle Flag of John Bell Hood’s Texas Brigade …mess with Texas that is. The Attorney General of the Lone Star State, one Greg Abbott, and the Chairman of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Dr. Bryan W. Shaw, took on the USEPA last week, firing off a letter to EPA Administrator Lisa [...] Yesterday Floyd linked to a post from Reason that celebrated the death of cap and trade (yay!) and suggested that this could be a turning point, to wit: the beginning of the end of global warming hysteria. As reasonable as that reasoned conclusion seems, there are many reasons to suggest that this is not the [...] Oh Gaia! I need a massage! Does Harry Reid’s recent removal of cap and trade from the Energy Bill signal the death of the global warming movement? While I think it’s always too soon to count out liberals (they are the loony slut from Fatal Attraction) this article from Forbes outlines why it [...] Ashley Judd geologist movie star actress and self-proclaimed “hillbilly” is from Kentucky and she — like many of her Hollywood sisters (including Leo DiCaprio) — is an ardent environmentalist. In other words she loves inanimate objects over people and presumably animals rank up there too. She spouts off on people’s livelihoods yet provides [...] Or is it? From the London Daily Telegraph: Prof Jones lost his job as head of the Climatic Research Unit at the UEA after personal emails he sent appeared on the internet. The emails referred to a ‘trick’ used to interpret data and the death of a leading climate change sceptic as “cheering news.” Sceptics claimed the [...] Now we know for sure. (Not that there was ever much doubt). My personal curse is that I’m usually right. It’s a heavy burden to bear, but I do my best. I was right about Blago, long before anyone else in this godforsaken state clued in, I was right about the surge and, when it comes to [...] “Alex, I believe the question is: how many windmills would we have to build to replace petroleum in order to fulfill president Obama’s dream of a green, all-electric America?” “You are correct sir!” If you like thought experiments and/or math, keep reading. If not, move along and take your chances with Floyd’s latest – you’ll be terribly [...] Socialists and green whack jobs do no play. Witness this story from Spain — courtesy of Pajamas Media: Spain’s Dr. Gabriel Calzada — the author of a damning study concluding that Spain’s “green jobs” energy program has been a catastrophic economic failure — was mailed a dismantled bomb on Tuesday by solar energy company Thermotechnic. Says [...] Al Gore will warm your globes… whether you want him to or not… allegedly. The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office confirmed today that a woman who alleged unwanted sexual contact by Al Gore reported it to police in 2006, and the prosecutor’s office was briefed by the Portland Police Bureau in late 2006 and January 2007. “We [...] It’s Junk Science Week at The Financial Post — and the awards are in! Here’s one of the awards for climate change cover up. The Rubber Duck award in the climate category goes to Lord Oxburgh, who gave “peer review” a whole new meaning in rushing out the first whitewash of the Climategate scandal. He headed an [...] Cow farts: 21 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. (No data has been released regarding Floyd farts at this time…) Our own irrepressible, always-entertaining Eric Porvaznik dropped me an e-mail asking for my expert opinion regarding the Murkowski resolution that comes up for a vote in the Senate today. Seemed [...] I spent the last three days at Heartland’s International Conference on Climate Change here in Chitown. It was a terrific conference and I learned a lot. If you pop over to Heartland’s site, you can see the videos of some of the talks. I especially recommend listening to Julian Morris and, of course, Lord Christopher [...] For the past few years, I’ve been collecting clippings of the annual expert predictions for the hurricane season. I’ve even assembled a virtual scrapbook! There’s a headline for each year, from 2006 to 2009. Every year, experts predict an “active hurricane season.” For the record, since 1950 there have been an average of six hurricanes per [...] Returning to the cyber-airwaves for the first time after a couple weeks off — and starting on time for the first time in who knows how long — RF3D had a helluva Sunday afternoon. Producer Kender MacGowan (of Young Gun Conservative and The Humor Institute fame) admirably steered the RF3D Three (Daniel, Floyd and Eric) [...] Rich continues to spread his um… “influence” — now he’s at Big Hollywood. Coming soon… Rich takes a bubble bath with Andrew Breitbart. Kudos to Rich and we are not in the least bit envious — unless he’s getting paid. When one of us is successful one of us benefits. Share on [...] California emissions laws meet economic reality. Four years ago, California earned accolades for adopting a law that would slash its greenhouse gas emissions and serve as a model for national climate change legislation. With the state mired in a crippling recession, the law that once looked like a landmark achievement is coming under assault. The regulatory [...] Anthony Watts has a nice post today on the Urban Heat Island effect, or “UHI” as it’s known (because we propeller-head types have to use acronyms to keep you commoners off balance). He looks at the temperature records of two cities within close proximity of each other: Ft. Collins and Boulder, both in Colorado. The [...] This movie is to environmentalism what I Spit On Your Grave was to feminism. Revenge fantasy — pure and simple. Share on Facebook He’s back! After the scandal of the CRU e-mail revelations and the IPCC lies (and vice versa) many wondered if the high priest of the global-warming alarmist movement had permanently retired to his electrified compound to curse, moan, and count his carbon-offset millions. Alas, we’re not done with Al Gore, yet. If the former vice-president learned nothing [...] Share on Facebook "Glacier, what glacier?!?!" For God’s sake, someone put some pants on Rich’s opponents!!! H/T: Patriot Post Share on Facebook BBC News has posted an interview with Phil Jones, the head of the beleaguered Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia. The recent leak of CRU’s e-mails and data files have caused many to question the professionalism of the CRU and their allies in the global warming-alarmist community. Some key excerpts (emphases mine): Do [...] In honor of The Who and the wonderful weather the majority of the USA is having, these Minnesota lads (and lass) fired up the instruments and gave us this masterwork… H/T Uncle Jimbo Share on Facebook Print ‘em up and play at your own head-imploding risk tomorrow night… Share on Facebook The man who gave us “An Inconvenient Truth” has some more inconvenient This time, documentarian Davis Guggenheim is targeting the U.S public Worldwide rights for the film have been acquired by Paramount Vantage, The news release doesn’t mention a title, which means the [...] Most of you by now have heard that Pat Robertson blamed Haiti’s “pact with the devil” for the earthquake. Here’s the clip. Sorry to use a lefty conspiracy clip, but it’s the shortest one available and is light on editorial comment believe it or not: How Old Testament. Well it seems he’s not [...] Share on Facebook OK, we still had some sound glitches, but we indeed ran a full 120 minutes with no major stalls or even a few minutes of silence. In our first interview-less show in God knows how long, and ably produced and piloted by Young Gun Conservative’s Kender “Patriot Missile” MacGowan, Rich, Floyd and I, along with [...] Jolly old England, feeling the effects of global warming. (Imaged by NASA’s Terra satellite last Thursday) Interesting article in the Daily Mail today. A lot of climatologists have been saying, for quite a while, that ocean currents are the big dogs when it comes to climate change. The guys that keep track of [...] …it pretty much means you and I are paying for it. Sitting at my desk, listening to a couple of coworkers bragging about all of the “free” appliances they recently had installed. For one: a new gas furnace and two freezers (about $7,000 worth of booty). For the other: a new gas furnace and a new [...] Hello – Mr. President? You know that massive failure of intelligence community to nab the underoo-bomber before he had a chance to light the ultimate crotch-rocket? You think crap like this, implemented by you and your party of marching morons, has anything do with it: The CIA, in announcing the Center on Climate Change and National [...] I have zero musical talent, but I can do parody lyrics. Any of you who can actually play an instrument are free to record the following, sign a deal with a major record label, go on tour, sleep with groupies and trash hotel rooms. To the tune of “Satisfaction”: Gore can’t get no climate action Share on Facebook FO3D Christian Toto has a timely reminder up over at Big Hollywood, but for those who inexplicably don’t come around there no more… With all pardons for swiping a line from Van Halen … Say nice things and people sometimes notice. Say glowing things here and here, and apparently even cooler people notice. That’s right, folks, in [...] As most everyone here knows, the norm – in geologic terms – is for the earth to be in an ice age, not our current comfy, warmy present. The present era, known as an interglacial period (this one is called the Holocence) has lasted a bit over 10,000 years now and, based on the record, [...] As we continue to work out the technical kinks at our new Right Talk Radio home, an early Christmas/late Hanukkah present for our loyal RF3D listeners: week 2.2’s interviews, minus the in-between chatter from me and Floyd. Some call it a blessing and in lieu of our second unanticipated delay, I won’t argue that point. Also, [...] Pelosi in Copenhagen. The surreal moment comes at 1:00
They’re talking about cap and trade (Waxman Markey) which the Speaker of the House is confident will get through the Senate, apparently because she’s met with Ministers of the European Union. Uh-huh. I’m no Floyd (and I thank God for that every day), but last [...] In honor of the poet-laureate of the new global government: Copenhagen ends The crisis unsolved by clowns But where is Phil Jones? (snap, snap, snap, snap) All comments in Haiku please: 5-7-5. Share on Facebook Took me all of five minutes to poetry-slam Big Al – admittedly not much of a feat – but at least mine rhymes.
