Today is the coldest day in Earth history, and none of us are expected to survive. Not really, but you get the idea. It’s in all the papers. ‘Puter and Mrs. ‘Puter, along with the boys, go down the driveway … Continue reading →
The average temperature on Earth may be changing up or down. We honestly don’t know. Some folks say it is going up a degree, and therefore floods and famine may occur. That’s actually possible. Other folks say it is going … Continue reading →
Remember about thirty-five years ago, when the Sequester was going to utterly destroy societies, completely annihilate Western thought, and thoroughly split infinitives? And it didn’t happen, and the President plunged in the polls? And then he made a series of … Continue reading →
Here is a really easy way to tick off a pro-AGW enthusiast: tell him that this winter is expected to be the coldest on record, or that we haven’t had nearly the amount of hurricanes predicted. You then get a … Continue reading →
GorT wants to know why the term derecho is used to describe a particular type of storm. In fact, Spanish words are used as a lingua franca although they sound Greek to him. Here are some of the Spanish terms … Continue reading →
The great and wonderous Borepatch writes into the Czar (and jeez, we hope we had his permission to reprint this; ah well, not much we can do about it now) to say: Your outstanding post covered the subject of Dr. … Continue reading →
For the record, and right up front, the Czar is a significant proponent of evolutionary theory. For him, the evidence is overwhelming and consistent. But when Richard Leakey says that the debate will soon be over, the Czar rolls his … Continue reading →
If the Czar could wish anything for your survival, it would be the gift of skepticism. When someone runs up to you with a stunning claim (“I just saw Bigfoot! And eleventy!”), your first response really should be “How good … Continue reading →
Some little time ago, a report came out that unquestionably proved Global Warming was a real thing, and that no reasonable person could remain a skeptic. Of course, a news reports claims that report is itself badly flawed, and that … Continue reading →
This is what happens to rock stars all the time. Be sure to read the comments. Smart fellows, all. Now that we have been found out, we will have to leak some nonsense out that refutes all of this. Stay … Continue reading →
CN rather expertly contributes the following: Most honorable Czar of Muscovy, who with a single effort of the pen of writing makes my most eloquent efforts seem but the ramblings of the unschooled child, it was my humble pleasure to … Continue reading →
The Czar thinks he speaks for a lot of conservatives when he says he would like to be convinced about Global Warming. After all, there is nothing more conservative than preserving what we have; if it turns out that the … Continue reading →
All part of life’s rich pageant. NOAA: We have data that corresponds to evidence of climate change. Lib Media Machine: Ah! You should listen to NOAA. They are scientists! They know this stuff. Now fund our green jobs. Global warming … Continue reading →
The always entertaining Borepatch (and you really oughta read him daily) suggests the Czar should “turn his cold, dread eye towards, say, the Climate Science establishment.” Okay, sure. Now a lot of you are already rubbing your hands together gleefully, … Continue reading →
So look what the Volgi dug up in the basement. It’s from a 1954 issue of Collier’s magazine. Yep, before all the global cooling… wait, global warming… heck, now it’s cooling again… began. Do your Gormogons believe in man-made climate … Continue reading →
Astonishing silence appears to the response of the scientific community regarding Harold Lewis’ spectacular resignation letter. Of course, the anti-AGW crowds are eating this up. The Czar thinks that might be too eager a reaction: if the Hadley CRU incident … Continue reading →
Global-warming J’accuse?Read the whole thing. Seriously. Confucius, Œc. Vol.Don’t ask impertinent questions like that jackass Adept Lu. www.gormogons.com
Continue reading →Without wading into the philosophical weeds, Karl Popper’s famous principle that a theory, hypothesis, or principle is metaphysical, not scientific if it is not, in some way, falsifiable (i.e., testable), seems to apply here. Whether it’s a Kuhnian paradigm or … Continue reading →
A week of surprises from the New York Times. First, there was the confession from the public editor that they screwed up the ACORN coverage because they acted like jackasses. Now, comes word that the New York Times is revealing … Continue reading →
AP is freaking out. The world’s oceans are the hottest they have ever been, ever, since 1880! And they state, as a matter of fact and record, that climate change has been raising the planet’s temperature steadily since 1997. The … Continue reading →
Regular Gormogons readers know that we tend to keep global warming and global cooling discussions at arm’s length, because most of the proponents of anthropogenic climate change (which covers warming or cooling) are shout-down liberals who call everyone else a … Continue reading →
Let the Czar point out how anti-science the Democratic Party is. Again. Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow, who is a member of the Senate Energy Committee no less, says that she can feel global warming’s effects when she flies. “Global warming … Continue reading →
The Czar has been waiting for this. Back in March, he commented on Obama’s dubious promise that his administration would follow science, not politics. After all, it was the Evil Bush who suppressed science in order to further political objective, … Continue reading →
The Czar waits to see the spin on this. Specifically, he wonders when both sides of the climate change free-for-all will each claim conclusive evidence on a recent study. But let us back up a step. Climatologists have long known … Continue reading →
Well, FoxNews.com is reporting that the House of Representatives has passed the Climate Change Bill by a vote of 217 to 205. The Democrats have demonized CO2 with the help of the useful idiots in the “environmental” movement to pass … Continue reading →
To wrap up this series, let’s look at what’s really happening out there in the world. To echo one of ‘Puter’s points, I’m not arguing to do nothing – yes, we should be good stewards of the environment, but with … Continue reading →
Do you remember learning about the Scientific Process back in grade school? Maybe between the teachers highlighted in our “Great Moments in Teaching” series, the failures to pass simple board exams and the union masters they serve, your teachers didn’t … Continue reading →
Over the next few days, I’m going to spend a little bit of space here conducting a little lesson in science surrounding the hype that is “Global Warming”, “Climate Change” and “Ocean Acidification” (the last one is a new term … Continue reading →
The Czar must be busy with his lab assistant and green Fiero otherwise, I’m sure he would have posted on this subject. The EPA has recently sent a report to the White House stating that efforts to regulate CO2 emissions … Continue reading →
Readers can discover what perennial Iron Man contest winner GorTechie thinks about Steven Chu’s fear of a worldwide melting of ice in a global warming scenario. Therein, GorT references the Archimedes principle to question whether melting ice would raise the … Continue reading →
Everybody’s so up on the weather these days, and if you’ve been in an elevator lately, you notice it’s on the mind of every stranger that has an urge to talk to you. With all this pressure, it’s no wonder … Continue reading →
