Deepwater Horizon oil spill: “Top Kill” not looking so good

There remain more questions than answers at this point, but the BP spin from yesterday that "Top Kill" was working appears to have been a falsehood. BP is not the right source for what the actual data from the well head means, but unfortunately they are the only source of said data. I would like …

Judith Curry advocates for a climate change “Team B”

Still back at Keith Kloor's place, Judith Curry seems determined to dig in to her position that governments and the IPCC and consensus minded science bloggers need to take the climate skeptics more seriously. Personally I think she completely misses the boat, because most of these folks have in fact been soundly debunked, or at …

Still Rotting…

FYI, the thread highlighted here is still continuing, though one wonders if it might be losing utility! The following is offered only as a laugh, and truly no offense intended to the originator.

We just didn't realise in those days how important and controversial this would all become - …

Why Climate Journalism is a Rotting Carcass

Love the title of that post! Keith Kloor tries to defend journalism's role in fiascos like "Swifthack" (aka Climategate) and climate science in general but really ends up simply providing a perfect example of the problem.

Monckton’s complaint rejected

Lord Viscount Monckton of Benchley, it turns out, really is a "swivel-eyed maniac". Or at least it is a fair thing to say. Some month's ago, George Monbiot wrote a bog post about our good friend Monckton that said Monckton has claimed, among other things: • he has read the treaty that will be signed …

Willie Soon gets grilled by the Examiner

Okay, that's sarcasm. Wille Soon is featured in an interview on the Examiner.com website, but grilling is hardy how to describe the pathetic softballs Kir Meyers throws, rather rolls, his way. Here are a few of the questions he asked: Many of the scientists promoting the global warming theory appear to be driven by politics …
