The Climate Wars … ending? | Skeptical Swedish Scientists

Will the Global Warming movement go down in the annals of scientific fraud as have The Piltdown Man, Eugenics and Lysenkoism?

Well, stick with me and be amazed at this infamous tale of the betrayal of a science, that is sure to be a chapter in our grandchildrens’ History of Science textbooks.

NASA Polar Ice Expert on Climate Change and Greenland's Ice Loss: "We Need to Take this Seriously" | WWF Climate Blog

Zwally explained in the interview that warming in the region is 3-4 times greater than the global average. The waters around Greenland are warming and melting the undersides of the glacier "tongues" that extend and float over the water. "We've seen dramatic changes in Greenland over the last ten years," he explained. The glaciers are moving more quickly to the sea and are losing more ice through melting and "calving" (pieces breaking off into the sea) than the glaciers gain from precipitation. The net result is less ice on Greenland and higher sea levels.

The NASA scientist expressed frustration about the degree to which acceptance of solid scientific evidence is affected by political beliefs. "If they're conservative, they don't believe it," he said. "If they're liberal, they believe in climate warming."

Ice Capades – New Iceberg Not What It is “Cracked Up” To Be | Watts Up With That?

So what we know is that the glacier is where it was 50 years ago, a bigger chunk broke off 50 years ago, and the rate of ice moving to the sea has not changed. There is absolutely no story here. Our warming friends get more desperate by the day. It is pathetic.

The Incandescent Bulb Ban: Another Regulatory Overreach | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News.

If consumers truly preferred fluorescents to incandescents, they would purchase them without any legal incentive. Yet they do not. Many prefer the soft yellow lighting of incandescents to the unnaturally white light of fluorescents. More might prefer the simple affordability of incandescents. Demand for cheap incandescent light bulbs is not going to change because of legislation (and, in fact, could lead to hoarding), so the only option left to environmentalists is to remove the incandescent light bulb from the market altogether and make it impossible for consumers to light their houses inexpensively.

This is one example of the absurdity of federal regulations and how bureaucrats pointlessly try to change human behavior.
