Instead of commenting again on the ability of the Democratic House and Senate to ignore pay-as-you-go when they feel like it (i.e., passing unemployment benefits without paying for them), I have decided this week to indulge in a bit of folderol. In thinking through the following possible scenarios, just image what could be: Sept. 6, 2012 After an 18-month roller coaster ride that has left most of the nation exhausted and confused, the final players have been determined for the last two months of the presidential campaign. After former House Speaker Newt Gingrich received the Republican nomination last month, former...

What are the consequences for our climate of inaction? How can science and technology offer us new and better choices – and how can America’s young people make a difference? Today, I’m returning to Stanford University, where...

Doctors say depression over climate change is growing, while a poll finds 23% of voters believe it's at least somewhat likely that global warming will destroy the world. At least the alarmists are happy. Last summer, doctors in Melbourne, Australia, diagnosed the first case of climate change delusion. It affected a 17-year-old who was refusing to drink water and had been admitted to the psychiatric unit at Royal Children's Hospital. He thought that if he took a drink, millions of people would die from the drought effects of global warming. Doctors said he'd been depressed for eight months and had...

NASA's Jim Hansen has declared that President Obama has four years to save the planet from impending climate doom, but critics say Hansen is making much ado about nothing. The Guardian is reporting that Hansen has given the Obama administration four years to save planet Earth from soaring carbon emissions that will trigger worldwide flooding from melting ice caps, wide-spread extinction of animals, and catastrophic weather patterns. He says only the U.S. has the political muscle to lead the world in stopping climate change. Christopher Monckton is the Viscount Monckton of Brenchley and has done extensive research into climate change....

".....the End of the world is already near.....As  this same End of the world is drawing nigh , many unusual things will happen-----climatic changes, terrors from heaven, unseasonable tempests, wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes."    The quotation is from a letter sent by a very famous and influential man to a European head of state. Its author is disclosed at the end of this essay. Climatology is a science. Climatism is an ideology. Climatologists are scientists. Climatists are social or political organizers who abuse climatology in the service of ideologues. Climatology was and still is an investigation of nature. Climatism is the...

You know when climate change is biting hard when instead of a vast expanse of snow the North Pole is a vast expanse of water. This year, for the first time, Arctic scientists are preparing for that possibility. "The set-up for this summer is disturbing," says Mark Serreze, of the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). A number of factors have this year led to most of the Arctic ice being thin and vulnerable as it enters its summer melting season. In September 2007, Arctic sea ice reached a record low, opening up the fabled North-West passage that...
