Mooney Moaning « The Daily Bayonet

Mooney’s book is centered on why conservatives are unpersuaded by the climate science ‘consensus’. We’ve just had a terrific example of how wrong a scientific consensus can be, which renders the climate camp’s meaningless echoing of the manipulated 97% consensus as proof of anything.

The Remnant Voice: Real Monsters Didn’t Disappear After Halloween

As winter sets in, America faces real monsters: government regulations that stifle energy production, increase energy prices, kill jobs, squeeze family and business incomes, and threaten living standards and productivity.

Millions of poor, black, Latino and elderly Americans will bear the brunt of rising energy costs. Even middle class families will have to decide whether to heat their homes or buy groceries or medicine.

Friday Funny – melon madness | Watts Up With That?

James Delingpole writes about The Linear No Threshold Hypothesis

It is a brilliant wheeze. By working out how many deaths are caused by a big amount

of toxin you can work backwards and predict how many deaths a tiny amount would cause. Simples.

Of course this could work for anything – like Green policies. Just work out how many people will die because of fuel poverty this winter due to green policies, and work back to

how many deaths there are per Green Politician (Watermelon cf Delingpole).

Naomi Klein’s crippling problem with numbers « JoNova: Science, carbon, climate and tax

Naomi Klein was the wrong person to send to a heavy-weight science conference  — in “Capitalism vs Climate” she notices hundreds of details, but they’re all the wrong ones.

Naomi can tell you the colour of the speakers hair, what row they sat in, and the expression on their face — it adds such an authentic flavor to the words, but she’s blind to the details that count. She can explain the atmosphere of the room, but not the atmosphere of the Earth. One of these things matters, and Klein has picked the wrong one.

Her long attack on the Heartland ICCC conference this year, is all color and style, and nothing of consequence — the lights are on and no brain is home.  Unpack the loquacious pen-craft and we wallow in innumerate arguments that confuse cause and effect, peppered with petulant name-calling. She can throw stones, but she can’t count past “one”.

Aggie Joke : Dessler Says That Texans Can Make Summers Cooler By Using Less Electricity | Real Science

Texas summer temperatures show no trend for the past 115 years. Summers during the 1950s averaged hotter than the past decade. Even if climate models were accurate, the CO2 production of Texas would have little or no noticeable impact on the climate.
