What a fool I’ve been. What a handsome, persuasive fool. Don’t feel too bad if I fooled you too (which I did). Heck, I’m so charismatic I even fooled myself. But first, some basic definitions. The Science is the mythical evidence for the urgent net dangerousness of man-caused climate change. If males continue emitting … Continue reading
Think the global-warming wars are boring? Think climate science is a low-ante, “academic” debate? Think the never-ending, ever-impending trials of Rajendra Pachauri and Steyn/Simberg don’t really matter? Then the following post is for you. It doesn’t mention any of that stuff. Scepticus Augustus the Self-Introducing, Unique of my Name, King in the South-Southeast known … Continue reading
Not 24 hours after children in Manchester were blown to bloody shreds by believers in the fundamental teachings of Islam Islamic fundamentalists, a cell-phone recording of Harvard lecturer Naomi Oreskes is raising questions about her fitness to mentor the next generation of America’s leaders.

Welcome to International Islamophobia Awareness Week Awareness Month proper. Without any ado: a story that already had an introduction. Oh, and don’t let the masthead put you off.

You can stop checking your shoes, readers. Wonder no more how that subtly stercoraceous fragrance that permeates the climate literature got there. (Answer infra.) Like apples? You may have noticed these apples in your Twitter feed-bag this morning: Gavin: "All of these things are peer reviewed up the wazoo" #BwaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaSnortHaHa https://t.co/MlX93vKDPX — Tom Nelson (@tan123) … Continue reading
In her excellent summary of the lessons of Donald Trump’s victory in the US election that morning, on 9th November 2016, Judith Curry wrote: Apart from the obvious political/policy implications of the election, there are massive social implications: • a triumph for U.S. democracy, in spite of those that have tried to break it … • … Continue reading
