BPSDBRick Hodgin of the MIT Methane fraud is at it again, this time with “Possible natural explanation found for West Antarctica’s warming.” What he is trying to pull this time is to blame the recently documented warming of the Antarctic on a volcano eruption similar to one discovered to have occurred 2,300 years ago. It [...]

BPSDBAs threatened earlier it is time for Vox Populi again, more blog rating and classifying. The reasons for doing this are explained in Vox Populi I so I won’t belabour that. What is new is the ‘new and improved’ is the Blogroll page, the place to keep all of these rated/sorted blogs. OK then, get [...]

BPSDBOne of the unfortunate things about Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” is it led to the notion that the principle threat posed by climate change is coastal flooding. One could watch the film and conclude that if you didn’t live near a coast climate change is problem that need not concern you directly. NOT! A few [...]

BPSDB Climate Wars Icing Asher Never Debate Climate Wars The CBC ‘Ideas’ series is presenting Gwynne Dyer’s “Climate Wars.” Fortunately a friend alerted me to it at the last moment and I managed to catch Part 1, and based on that I am recommending it to all.

BPSDB Holmes: Inspector Lestrade, I understand that you have arrested Mr Algore . Lestrade: Indeed I have Holmes. Once again the Yard brings the miscreants to justice, thank you very much; and without your … ‘assistance’, I might add. Holmes: Quite so, quite so. May I enquire as to the nature of the evidence? Lestrade: [...]

BPSDB Ted Talks just recently posted a 2002 talk by Biochemist Kary Mullis: Celebrating the scientific experiment. “Biochemist Kary Mullis talks about the basis of modern science: the experiment. Sharing tales from the 17th century and from his own backyard-rocketry days, Mullis celebrates the curiosity, inspiration and rigor of good science in all its forms.” [...]

Up to a point. Let’s try and keep it to climate science, more or less.
Twits and ASS at the Daily Dreck

BPSDB I refer of course to Anti-Science Syndrome (ASS) as described at Climate Progress, and Michael Asher at Daily Tech has it bad. Barely a week after Deltoid noted that the Arctic ice situation was so bad that no climate change Denier would be so stupid as to try and claim things were OK, Asher [...]
Ambler Huffs and Puffs, but really he just blows

BPSDBOn Saturday The Huffington Post inexplicably published a climate change Denier screed “Mr. Gore: Apology Accepted” by Harold Amber. The piece itself is a very juvenile collection of some of the standard Denier fables, easily exposed as false and of no great interest. As such I will debunk it last and first ask the more [...]
