I think this is an amazing thing for Scott Adams, the author of Dilbert, to do. Scott is not what I would consider a climate skeptic. But, his challenge is amazingly simple and direct. This is the type of thinking I love. His humor about corporate life and management is often too true.

See his: The Climate Science Challenge. My challenge for warmers is to find something wrong with his challenge and explain why it is wrong.

For support of the UN’s IPCC claim that manmade CO₂ is warming the world the UN needs to be able to measure temperature change and show warming. But, what if someone were faking the data? We have a new study of the temperature data records used to show warming and what happens if you compare the current data to 2010 data. What does it show?

NASA EXPOSED IN ‘MASSIVE’ NEW CLIMATE DATA FRAUD

In February 2015 the US Congress was starting to consider an investigation of NOAA and NASA and their handling of temperature data. We have lots of people looking at recent data and some even recording their own. So, we should be able to see any faking of recent data. But, there doesn’t seem to be any recent faking of data. The fakery is elsewhere. Continue reading →

Anthropomorphic Global Warming has been an ongoing debate since the mid 1970’s and for this generation since the 1990’s. Low information voters tend to be warmers and high information voters tend to be skeptics. Presumably that is because high information people do more research and dig below the surface. Low information people tend to accept the easy to find and hear information. At least that is my personal experience. What do you actually know about the global warming debate?

WOW WHAT AN AWESOME WINE SHOP ALL THOSE BOTTLES

A good summary is here: New studies flip climate-change notions upside down. They don’t provide the supporting links. But anyone Googling the points mentioned is likely to generate a growing collection of questions.

Left out of the article is the information from studies of temperatures on Mars and Venus. They have been paralleling temperature changes on Earth. That makes it much more likely the sun is the source of heating and cooling than it is CO₂, unless you think our CO₂ is making it to to other planets…

But, facts seldom change minds… and common sense long ago left the arena.

Think you have proof of global warming? This winter in the northern hemisphere this 2015-16 year is likely the beginning of a trend that may crush your beliefs. (Early Snow, Record Antarctic Ice, Arctic Ice, Sea Levels, Ice Cap site)

I have often found that figuring out whether a cause is worthy is just a matter of looking at the people supporting it. It is definitely a consideration for whether I’ll participate or not. I had no problem deciding to oppose ISIS at every level. A quick, but stomach churning, look at the search results for ISIS killing pictures should do it for any sane person.

The philosophy of a group of people sets the limits to which individuals in the group will go. Yet, every group has its wackadooles, the crazy out of touch people we find annoying but not overly dangerous. Groups also have some number of fanatics and radicals that range from crazy annoying to deadly dangerous. So, painting any group with a broad brush is usually misleading.

Christian charity workers help people all over the world. That doesn’t prove the existence of God, the accuracy of their beliefs, or provide a guarantee of each Christian’s character, but the general quality of the people and their devotion to a cause and how they treat people suggests they have a generally beneficial belief system and cause. It begs the question what is it about that belief system that leads so many onto caring about their fellow man?

On the other hand I am reading of ISIS fighters beheading and burning alive people… All this in the name of God and the goal of world domination. I can find no merit in the cause of these people and how they treat other humans. I question the quality and thinking of such people, their philosophy, and the core belief system that seems to eliminate any care about fellow humans. This also begs the questions, what is it about their belief system (especially their personal belief systems) that leads so many toward conquest, slavery, rape, and brutal killing? What kind of people are these?  Continue reading →
