The Science Is Settled?

Definition of intellectual: Someone who presumes to judge, outside the field of their own expertise, who qualifies as an “expert”: Florida’s Sen. Marco Rubio came under attack this week for refusing to submit to scientific authority. “I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists […]

‘Homo Rapiens’: Anti-PIV RadFem Goes Total Moonbat on Climate Change

There are times when, in studying feminist theory, I start to think, “Hey, maybe they’re onto something here.” A bedrock conservative, unshakable in his patriarchal heteronormative christofascist worldview, can read the really hard-core feminists and glean insights into the fundamental psychosexual dynamic of male dominance, appreciating women’s experience within this dynamic. However, just when you […]

Mark Steyn vs. a Thin-Skinned Bully

Lawsuits don’t make for interesting journalism. No tort has ever earned “Trial of the Century” status.

The Yale University Project on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication […]

Al Gore and the Big Climate Lie

Sometimes my hatred of lying liberals inspires me with a vitriolic rage that is very difficult to restrain. They lie with such arrogant impunity because liberal dominance of the intelligentsia means they can always count on their lies being applauded. And indeed, there are vast segments of the culture — academia, journalism, entertainment — so […]

Late To The Antarctic Rescue News, But I Brought Beatallica

by Smitty Sure the East Coast is under a chill, but how about those Global Worming researchers at the nether pole? After we rejoice in their safety, and admire their tenacity, let’s enjoy just a little riff at their expense: May 2014 be the year that the “experts” learn they can’t just phone it in […]

‘Unusually Thick Ice’ in Antarctica Traps Scientists With Unusually Thick Heads

Ship crew who have been stuck in 5 metres of ice for days prepare an ice helipad for rescuers http://t.co/9k6esXzwC2 — Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) December 30, 2013 It probably seemed like an excellent idea: Load a bunch of tourists and journalists aboard a ship for an expedition to Antarctica in December (the height of […]
