A scientist who didn’t “hide the decline”

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

On September 28, 1928, a scientist in the laboratory of St. Mary's Hospital in London noticed that someone had left the lid off of a petri dish containing  Staphylococcus plate culture.  As a result of someone's mistake, a  blue mould "contaminated" the petri dish, inhibiting the growth of the bacteria. Had this scientist worked at ...

Could this man hold the answer to global warming?

His name is Ian "Harry" Harris, and he's a research staffer involved with dendroclimatology, climate scenario development, data manipulation and visualisation, programming at the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom.  The CRU is one of the leading institutes in the world advocating Anthropogenic [i.e. ...

Unchecked Extremism from The Left

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

My sympathies go out to Chief Justice Roberts.  My wife had an unexplained seizure similar to what he had.  Thank goodness he is doing well now. Another similarity in my situation with my wife and Chief Justice Roberts is that leftists are more than ecstatic at his injury and possible ...

The Religion of Global Warming

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

(Before I get started, let me remind everyone that "Exposed:  the Climate of Fear" will be shown on the Glenn Beck Show tonight [May 2, 2007] at 6:00, 8:00 and 11:00 p.m. Central.  I plan on taping it and showing it to my stepdaughter, who was forced to watch "An Inconvenient Truth" in ...

“Global Warming” or “Climate Change”?

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

Back on December 3 of last year, I stuck my neck out.  In a post entitled, "False Prophecy?" I made the following prediction:  If the term “climate change” continues its ascendency to the exlusion of “global warming,” we can assume that the “experts” are hedging their bets. Never in my wildest dreams ...

Are You Smarter Than a Sixth Grader?

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

At Trail Ridge Middle School in Longmont, Colorado recently, a sixth grade science class took up the topic of global warming using a method that even Al Gore refuses to try - they debated the issue from two points of view and a jury of their peers made a decision based ...

Global Warming, Dogma and Heresy - Part II

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Last month, I wrote about the phenomenon among some in the scientific community to strip anthropogenic global warming heretics of their professional titles (see http://www.ivorydome.us/2007/01/20/global-warming-dogma-and-heresy/).  Now there's a similar move to divest Oregon's State Climatologist of his honorific for similar acts of heresy: http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_020607_news_taylor_title.59f5d04a.html This is happening at the same time that ...

Global Warming, Dogma and Heresy

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

As I sit at my computer watching the gently falling snow (which is expected to reach about a foot here in Amarillo), the debate about the causes of global warming (aka climate change) has been heating up yet again.  James Spann, meteorologist with ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Alabama, has gotten into ...

False Prophecy?

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

Next Sunday, through the miracle of Digital Video Disc, the Chief Prophet of Chicken Little'ism will be speaking at the Unitarian Church Fellowship here in Amarillo: http://panhandletruthsquad.blogspot.com/2006/11/inconvenient-truth-inconveniently.html As you watch his predictions concerning the impending doom caused by hurricanes of ever increasing severity, bear in mind two things: 1)  As early as last May, the jury ...

Multiple Choice

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Who said this and what is he/she talking about? “Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that ...
