the Navy is spending $27 a gallon for fuel. The Air Force is spending $59 per gallon for biofuels.

And again, it takes more oil to create that biofuel than is produced in the process. So not only are they spending far more money, they’re wasting oil in order to spend that higher amount. Brilliant!
Malaria theory debunked

The published USHCN correction graphs show about 0.5F of data tampering, but I see closer to three times that amount.
GHCN : Messing With Texas – And Everybody Else | Real Science
More evidence that the temperature record isn’t worth the toilet paper it was written on. The daily USHCN temperatures for Texas show a strong cooling trend, while the daily GHCN temperatures for Texas show a strong warming trend.

Somehow out of this spectacular mess we are supposed to believe that climate scientists can pin down a fractional century trend?
