Given that it lasted for more then 500 years kick start is probably an oversimplification. I know but it got your attention didn’t it? “Launching the Little Ice Age,” is how Bob McDonald, host of Quirks & Quarks put it. “The Little Ice Age put Europe in a deep freeze for hundreds of years, up until the early 19th century. However, researchers have never agreed on the cause and the exact time of onset for this long cooling trend in the Northern Hemisphere.” (Get the mp3 here) Continue reading

Dough Hoffman at The Resilient Earth writes: “Editorials in Nature and Science herald the resurgence of the climate catastrophists and their attempt to bamboozle the public, mislead government officials and brainwash our children. Continue reading
From my point of view, the announcement of Superluminal Neutrinos, those are neutrinos that go faster then the speed of light having been detected, has got to be the science story of the year. That year is 2011. The announcement makes this status, in my book anyway, because, if confirmed will shake up physics and if not confirmed or shown to be in error, illustrates how science is and should be done.

In numerous essays I have demonstrated, not only that numeric models: stochastic, deterministic, probabilistic or some combination, show little or no skill at addressing any climate issues in either hind cast or forecast. Continue reading
I guess that is a result of my natural scepticism. I have reviewed my life of thought. In doing that I see general trends; one is an optimistic and positive outlook on life and two a skeptical view of anything that even smelled like authority. It is a matter of trust. Continue reading
I have been puzzling along with hundreds of scientists, philosophers of science, bloggers and others, why it is that models seem to have a disproportionate influence on how we, any of us, interpret things. Continue reading
