Where does the Huffington Post find these people: I know I told you I was over astrologers, but I never said anything about clairvoyant healers. A friend of mine raved about Tori Quisling, so I had to meet her. Her readings supposedly guide and empower. What’s the harm in that? What’s the harm? How about…Continue Reading…
I’ve been having a little fun with Jeff Id’s freaky freakouts about the leftist/socialist/Marxist plot take over Western civilization. Over at Lucia’s, I’ve wondered why none of his fellow travelers in the skeptic sphere ever ask him to dial down his paranoid rants against Democrats and environmentalists. I never got an answer, which I suppose…Continue Reading…
If you are one of “a great many people” who were once believers in catastrophic GW [global warming] and are now skeptical. I keep reading variations of this line expressed by readers on various blogs, and it’s purely anecdotal. Also, a “great many” people who converted from believers to skeptics because of why?

Given that Oprah often vaults books and health…Continue Reading…
It’s on: …the giants of the world’s energy armies are preparing.
Last year, I found this commercial hilarious (unlike many greens and climate concerned). So I find this new British sketch similarly funny (and it appears that the inclusion of the lame laugh track is to make sure we know it’s humor). I’m sure some of the paranoids in the skeptic wing will view this video…Continue Reading…
A self-proclaimed left/liberal/Democrat extends an olive branch to Republicans and climate skeptics: Yes, I have the perception that your side is worse. Yes, I understand that your side has the perception that my side is worse. Great. Can we both agree to back off a little? We’ll continue to try to make the case that…Continue Reading…
This story at desmogblog reminds me of that classic Mad magazine cartoon. That’s because the CIA today is treating climate change seriously, while one of its supposed former spooks is chasing shadows. I say supposed, because what self-respecting spy goes around publicly advertising himself as a “CIA counter-terrorism operations expert”?
