China’s rivers are disappearing. After a three-year survey by the nation’s Ministry of Water Resourses, China has some 28,000 fewer rivers than everyone believed it had. Of course, the previous figure of roughly 50,000 was an official government number, and we all know we can trust the Chinese government to dispense accurate and timely information […]
Everyone needs a little vacation time and mine happened over the weekend before Halloween. There wasn’t a lot to it — a few days at a quiet B&B, a minor-league hockey game, a couple or three nice dinners out, and a visit to the incomparable SuperMegaProducer Mike and the Take That Media Studios. SMP Mike […]
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I don’t do interviews on The Delivery. I have guests on and we have a conversation. I’ll usually have two or three subjects in mind but if we don’t get to all of them, or even any of them, I’m not fashed, so long as […]
It’s no secret, I consider the entire issue of global warming dead beyond any possible resurrection. However, I do recognize that someone, somewhere may be capable of performing a miracle and rescuing the Church of Global Warming from its Dark Age of corruption and pseudo-scientific folderol. If that person ever comes forward, their very first […]
Ed Driscoll has an interesting post up today on the progressive penchant to identify everything as a crisis in order to gin up public sentiment for its various utopian programs. Before I get into that, though, let me pull out this utterly brilliant Thomas Sowell quote from Ed’s piece. There’s something Eric Hoffer said: “Intellectuals […]
The science is unsettled. Research by hurricane scientists may force the UN’s climate panel to reconsider its claims that greenhouse gas emissions have caused an increase in the number of tropical storms. The benchmark report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said that a worldwide increase in hurricane-force storms since 1970 was probably […]
Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to […]
Well, this is a promising sign. President Obama is announcing funding to break ground on the first new nuclear power plant in nearly three decades. In Lanham, Maryland Tuesday morning, Mr. Obama will announce the first loan guarantee for the construction and operation of two new nuclear reactors at a Southern Company plant in Burke, […]
I have a post up at NewsReal Blog this morning on the odd “Green Police” commercial that aired during the Super Bowl and Audi’s dishonest explanation of what the commercial was really all about. Here’s an excerpt: Wow, it didn’t take long for our non-judgmental Green Police guide to slam a guy’s head onto a […]
It is possible that all the evidence supporting anthropogenic global warming is bogus? The President Wednesday night cited “the overwhelming evidence on climate change” but when I look around I find that evidence is no evidence at all. I do see claims that have either been fraudulently manufactured or misrepresented as actual science when they are nothing more […]
