Stanford Study purports to demonstrate that racism is a reason why Obama policies are failing

The journal article is: “Racial Prejudice Predicts Opposition to Obama and His Health Care Reform Plan” by Eric D. Knowles, Brian S. Lowery, and Rebecca L. Schaumberg, in: Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, November 2009.
This is another “negative associations” test. Such tests are very problematical for a number of reasons — one [...]
Climate Theology: Gore’s new book offers eco-salvation to his followers: ‘I’m offering you the choice of life or death’

As the scientific basis for Warmism becomes vanishingly small, the religious nature of it comes to the fore
On a page by itself, we find this inside the front cover of Al Gore’s latest climate fraud promotion book: “I’m offering you the choice of life or death. You can choose either blessings or curses.” [...]
Al Gore, the scientist

Political scientist only, it would seem
Note Al Gore’s recent rant about earth’s core being several million degrees…SEVERAL MILLION DEGREES!?? See here where Al Gore tells O’Brien (at 40 seconds): “the earth’s core is “several million degrees.”
Not hardly, Al, you doofus. The core of the earth is “only” about 10,000 degrees F. (5700 K; 5400 [...]
Obama’s psychopathic detachment

I never thought I would find myself wistfully remembering President Clinton and wishing he were still around to inject some heart into the Oval Office (I know, I know, he may have injected some other things as well). However, after listening to President Obama’s passionless words in poignant moments over the past ten months, I [...]

“A swastika along Highway 36 flown on private property in Junction City is just one example of hate speech in Lane County, according to County Commissioner Pete Sorenson. He says flags like this are legal on private property, but he still doesn’t want to see them. “This kind of hate speech is [...]

From a Georgia Tech Press Release:
Reducing Greenhouse Gases May Not Be Enough to Slow Climate Change
Georgia Tech City and Regional Planning Professor Brian Stone publishes a paper in the December edition of Environmental Science and Technology that suggests policymakers need to address the influence of global deforestation and urbanization on climate change, in addition to [...]
Super Pesky! New CO2 research throws Warmist calculations into a cocked hat
Posted on November 11, 2009 - Filed Under AGW hyposterics, Agenda based science, Global Warming, News, Research/surveys, Science/pseudo-science | Leave a Comment
New data show that the balance between the airborne and the absorbed fraction of carbon dioxide has stayed approximately constant since 1850, despite emissions of carbon dioxide having risen from about 2 billion tons a year in 1850 to 35 billion tons a year now.
This suggests that terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans have a much [...]

Philosophy is a rather vague term used to cover a lot of loose thinking. I belong to the tradition called Anglo-Saxon empiricism, though some of the most notable exponents of Anglo-Saxon empiricism were not Anglo-Saxon. Ludwig Wittgenstein, for instance, was an Austrian Jew. Anglo-Saxon empiricists restrict their task to something quite akin [...]

Germany’s Dr. Ernst Beck some time ago questioned the practice of using proxy data as measures of past CO2 levels. The favoured ice-core proxies have many known problems. He pointed out that chemists have been making direct measurements of ambient CO2 way back into the 19th century and asks why that data is [...]

IT’S ALL HAPPENED BEFORE (1)
An email from Wayne Richards [theamazingrichards@gmail.com] below:
I’ve reached my own personal tipping point. I’ve heard once too often that the Arctic ice melt of 2007 was unprecedented, that it’s going to happen again, only worse, and that we’re all doomed. Including the polar bears. Never before in history…etc.

Jim Hansen is not alone: More Warmist “adjustments” to pesky data

The high-quality Argo data has been embarrassing Warmists because it shows the ocean as cooling. So what to do? Say that the sensors showing most cooling are “bad” and discard their data. Then combine the data from the remaining sensors with data known to show too much warming and — hey [...]

This is of course an old chestnut and I have myself previously reported research on it. I found that LEFTISTS were dumber. So what are we to make of the latest research report below? Not much. Following a pattern that is all too common among psychologists, the author seems never to [...]

The explanation offered in the article excerpted below for the correlation between genes and culture is highly speculative (to put it kindly) and need not detain us. What is interesting is the demonstration that there is a genetic influence on behavioural traits that have clear political importance. There is plenty of existing research [...]

They try to glide over it below but Greenies normally identify the postwar years (1945+) as the time of a big rise in CO2. But the big jump in sea level reported below was at a time (1879 to 1915) when the industrial era was in its infancy! Correlation does not prove causation [...]
