Global Warming: Scientists’ Best Predictions May Be Wrong Scientists are now distancing themselves further from their own climate models. Now they’re saying they don’t even know how much earth’s climate is affected by carbon emissions. You can read about the science community’s Michael Jackson-esque moon-walk here. Here’s another article published Nov 2008. But in spite [...]

Obfuscation 1 – The ‘Hockey Stick’ Graph This famous (or infamous) graph is based primarily on tree ring growth of the Northern Hemisphere and plots samples which date back to 1000 AD. The interpreter of the graph is to understand the width of each of the tree rings involved correlate to a quantitative temperature difference [...]

Reason #1: They’re ugly. Reason #2: It has to be backed up by fossil fuels. (PDF) Reason #3: Everyone that promotes it is in favor of a larger government. Guilty by association. Reason #4: After they are oudated and we no longer use them there will be giant ugly windmills everywhere that will never be [...]

It looks like the era of global warming is over and the new era of global cooling will begin. An expert from the National Autonomous University of Mexico predicted that in about ten years the Earth will enter a “little ice age” which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by [...]

In today’s column by Vox Day, he argues that the “secular, atheist enlightenment” that the great “High Atheists” want to give us in a post-Christian society is simply a dreamboat. Instead, Day says that a post-Christian society is the simplest, surest way to recreating the pre-Christian barbarianism that existed before 1,000 AD and the Christianization [...]

Vox Day notes some similarities and other peculiar things about the Kristol-Rumsfield-Wolfowitz neocons and the Hitchens-Harris “New Atheists”. …in nearly half the major cases, the New Atheists ARE Neocons. Both Harris and Hitchens fit the bill rather nicely; they’re not conventional Republicans, but they support American military adventurism in the Middle East. Hitchens, in fact, [...]

The easy solution: you allow tiger farms. Chickens and cows will never go extinct because there is a good demand for them. If you had tiger farms, I’m sure people would enjoy tiger fur coats. We’d see the largest number of tigers the planet has ever seen if we were allowed to buy and sell [...]

The devastating floods in Iowa and the Midwest are being called ’500′ year floods. After all, the floods of 1993 were supposed to be century floods, the sort of freak events that happen only about every 100 years. They had to put the new event in context somehow. The Iowa City Gazette had this to [...]

Guess what? The Bible commands you to be a conservative! David Klinghoffer tells you all about it in his amazing book that shows where in Punditry 3:16, God commands his children to “be conservatives and support the Republican Party!” Sarcasm aside, it looks like nothing more than political propaganda. The Gospels are not a political [...]

We know cows and sheep are a bigger problem for global warming than mankind. Well, scientists have decided to reduce the methane produced in cow and sheep flatulences. I’m not sure how much more laughter I’m going to be getting out of the global warming crowd. Given that our global temperatures have not risen at [...]

John McCain wants to use “free market” principles to solve global warming. The article rambles on with excerpts of McCain’s speech that calls for nothing more than more government regulation of the market–not “free market” solutions. The problem here is a failure of understanding why pollution is even in the air. Industries pollute–there is no [...]

Brian LePort has arranged for two of his friends to begin a “debate” next week on atheism, theism, and their respective roles in society and government. If everything goes well, the questions and arguments will be posted here next week and should stir some interesting debate.

We, as mortals with short life spans, would not even be concerned about the origins of life, except the evolutionists wish to use their theory to destroy religion, and religious people want to use their theory to defend religion. -Charley Reese

This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.But experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend – and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years. It appears the BBC’s report shows some conflicts with global warming theory.

Physics. It’s what I studied in college, though it’s a subject that makes most people cringe whenever I mention it. Since I’m still interested in the subject, I routinely browse scientific articles on the web. So, when I came across an article in Newsweek about the search for the elusive Higgs Boson, nicknamed the “God [...]

The Intelligent Design Case
The clearcut obvious solution to the evolution vs. intelligent design debate is let people form their own schools with their own curriculum! If people were allowed to choose the kind of education they wanted their kid to have then we wouldn’t have to worry about this silly debate. But, some may object, and say, “But [...]
