Nothing, and everything (think about it).

Whales might have a chance.

Dear Senator Fielding: You are a Moron

Warning: I am getting angry. Politicians, well, largely are dimwitted. Senator Steve Fielding from the Australia Federal Senate is a complete and utter f$ckwit. Elected on a percentage of around 1.8% of the state senate vote (due to the Senate voting algorithm for Australia), he represents neither a majority nor commonsense. Representative of the religious right (Family First) he exhibits all the pre-Copernican traits of a cave-man. And that’s being nice.

Michael Jackson: snowboard companies and exploitation

Yep, dude was an amazing performer – amazing – but where have Neff been in the last 10 years? No tribute tees there. I might be wrong, but this smacks of cashing in on someone’s death. Now, if the money they made from this went to an enviro or kids charity, then it’d be not so bad.

Nope, no global warming here.

With this issue, SKI concludes its 1964-65 winter publishing season, but we hope that our readers will not bring their ski activities to an abrupt end. Some of the best skiing blessed by long sunlit hours comes in March and April and on, in places, to May, June and July. In fact, in a world made smaller by jet aircraft, skiing never ends. To prove the point, Mt. Tom, Massachusetts, instructor Jules Eberhard travelled last summer (northern hemisphere summer, that is) to Australia, whence he sent this picture showing that the chairlift maintenance crew at The Chalet in New South Wales was having an unusually easy time of adjusting sheaves on the towers. The reason: snow, piled up in depths of 38 feet, buried chairs and reached almost to the top of the towers. By the end of July, so much snow had fallen in the winter land of kangaroos and koala bear that hotels has disappeared up to the third floor.

Global Warming denialism: yep, it’s still retarded

Skeptical Science has been a bit quiet lately, probably stalking their prey like a ninja, looking for their mark.

I’ve previously talked about the ridiculousness of ideological, or non-science based denialism (as opposed to scientifically rigorous debate)…

UK MET debunks: global cooling

Ok so people are really bloody (I SO wanted to use the EFF word but my mum reads this) dumb: world is cooling.
HAHAHAHAHAH. No, it’s not (you douche).
Still not convinced?.
What about now? – (I REALLY could do this all day! Wheeeee, this is fun!).

You don’t believe in global warming? Then read this.

This is what people who believe in science are up against.
I understand your sceptisicm. Scepticism is healthy, when it’s based on logical thought and science.
Climate change denialism is based on neither of these.
The incredibly excellent Tamino shows you how it’s going to get worse. Tamino uses maths, statistics and data (and loads of logic) [...]
