Warning Signs: When the Inmates are in Charge

What ever happened to just doing nothing? Sometimes when there is no problem, doing nothing is the most brilliant answer. There is no global warming. And, left alone, the financial crisis would correct itself in time. Everything the government is currently doing was tried in the 1930s and it just prolonged the Depression and made it worse!

In the meantime, loonies like Dr. John Holdren will be whispering into Obama’s ear about “shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays.”

Local coalition working to bring climate-change [scam] institute to area

Learning from their failed 2005 bid to house California's stem cell institute in San Diego County, local business and academic leaders are mounting an early campaign to become the state's hub for research on global warming.

The county's clean-technology trade group and others are lobbying powerful lawmakers – including state Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles – for that designation. The effort includes one of the region's top scientists, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and representatives from major companies such as Qualcomm and SAIC.

The setting up by the UN of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 1988 gave an opportunity to make global warming the main theme of environmental groups.

Ian Plimer is not some isolated gadfly. He is a prize-winning scientist and professor. The back cover of Heaven And Earth carries a glowing endorsement from the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, who now holds the rotating presidency of the European Union. Numerous rigorous scientists have joined Plimer in dissenting from the prevailing orthodoxy.

Heaven and Earth is an evidence-based attack on conformity and orthodoxy, including my own, and a reminder to respect informed dissent and beware of ideology subverting evidence.
