By Paul Homewood h/t Dennis Ambler It seems the Met Office is getting worried that its one-sided reporting of climate change is becoming exposed, as people are beginning to check the facts for themselves: A toolkit of information you can trust. There is overwhelming evidence that climate change is affecting the health of the […]
It is easy to take the long reign of Elizabeth I for granted. But less than four years after Elizabeth ascended the throne, her life was nearly cut short, threatening to bring down the curtain on the Tudor dynasty. What might have ensued is explored by Dr Andrew Thrush, editor of our Lords 1558-1603 section… On 10 […]
Below is my column on the search for the true identity of Robert L. Peters, the name Republicans believe was used by then Vice President Joe Biden in emails that contradict his past claims on the influence peddling scandal. Here is the column: He is a man with many names. “Celtic.” “The Big Guy.” According […]
Vic Hughes explains in his American Thinker article The Blunt Truth about Global Warming Models. Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images. I may be one of the first scientists in the country to know that predicting long-term temperatures is not possible. Almost 50 years ago, while in grad school, I had a […]
Steven Koonin shared his honest and wise perspective on global warming/climate change in the interview above. For those who prefer reading, an excerpted transcript from the closed captions provides the highlights in italics with my bolds and added images. PR: Welcome to uncommon knowledge; I’m Peter Robinson. Now a professor at New York University and […]
The “socialist calculation debate” happened in the 1920s and 1930s. The economics profession was developing a vision of the economy as made up of prices and quantities for goods and services, based on supply and demand. Socialist economists (for example, Oskar Lange) sought to build on this framework. Their argument was along the following lines:…
German hydrogen train [image credit: Euractiv] No surprise there. What are these delusional climate worriers even talking about? If ‘the climate’ was human it wouldn’t give a hoot how Germans get around, but might be bemused to find itself corroding the minds of their leaders with their irrational obsession over ‘carbon emissions’ to the exclusion […]
Big claims and loose talk about the grand wind and solar energy ‘transition’ don’t make it so. And there is no shortage of either, with myth and mantra being the order of the day. Notwithstanding a staggering and rapid increase in the amount of money squandered on wind and solar, their relative contribution to world […]
Below is my column in the New York Post on the expanding scandal surrounding the Hunter Biden investigation. Even CNN legal analysts are now calling the handling of the investigation at the Justice Department an “unholy mess.” The responsibility for this theater of the absurd is Attorney General Merrick Garland who has again shown a […]
Bryce Edwards writes – Labour appears to be in something of an electoral death spiral. The four-point drop in last night’s 1News Verian poll to just 29 per cent – together with National’s bump up to 37 per cent – suggests that the gulf between the left and right blocs is now opening up, and […]
The fact that every country that’s increased reliance on wind and solar is suffering rocketing power prices is incontrovertible. And that simple relationship puts paid to the myth that wind and solar are cheaper than coal and gas, principally because it’s heavily subsidised wind and solar that are (occasionally) displacing coal and gas-fired power. When […]
Below is a slightly expanded version of my column in The Hill on the increasingly popular theory that former president Donald Trump is already barred from office under the 14th Amendment. It is a theory that, in my view, has a political appeal that outstrips its constitutional support. In a constitution designed to protect free […]
As the third poll in a row shows Labour slipping below 30%, and the gap between parties on the right and those on the left widening, the prospect of a change of government on October 14 has strengthened. This of course is a blow to those who believed the ascendancy of Chris Hipkins to the […]
Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
In Hume’s spirit, I will attempt to serve as an ambassador from my world of economics, and help in “finding topics of conversation fit for the entertainment of rational creatures.”
“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
