Last Night, I Hit Rand Simberg’s Tip Jar for $10, Because … Science!

Global warming “hockey stick” theorist Michael Mann has sued several critics, a litigation that Mark Steyn calls “a textbook example” of “bollocks on stilts.” When Mann first sued in October 2012, Ken White at Popehat called it “Butt Hurt in the First Degree”: [T]he complaint seems almost calculated to support likely conservative narratives about it.

The Atheist Creep Lawrence Krauss

Professor Lawrence Krauss on Australian TV, February 2013. “Science is based on telling the truth, which is a really important ethical boundary.

Remember: ‘Climate’ Is Not ‘Weather’ (Unless Scientists Tell Us It Is)

Global Warming: The SCIENCE is SETTLED! pic.twitter.com/Znvor55HJ4 @iWeatherNews @GlockLady @AmrElGabry — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) December 13, 2013 Once you realize that anthropogenic global warming (also known as “climate change”) is a non-falsifiable theory, the pretzel logic is amusing: Any extreme or damaging weather — including extreme cold — can be cited as evidence of […]

This week, a long-term British survey found a fourfold increase over the past two decades in women reporting at least one sapphic fling. Self-reported same-sex behavior among men, […]

The Politics of Weather
