"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

How, er, inconvenient...

New! August 20, 2008: "it's generally impossible to come up with accurate forecasts more than a week in advance.

"Of course it's possible to prepare a forecast with any lead time you like. Whether or nor that forecast has any accuracy or usable skill is another question," he said.

New!: Drill in ANWR?




















Don't be so stupid.

New!: "Kyoto and its offshoots will not do what politicians assure us they will -- lower global carbon emissions.

Why? Because they weren't designed to do so.

What will they do? Raise taxes and our cost of living through higher consumer prices, with Big Business and Big Government dividing up the cash between them like crooks after a bank job.

Count on it."
LORRIE GOLDSTEIN, TORONTO SUN, Sun, August 3, 2008


NEW!: "Fear and ignorance,...are the true source of superstition. They lead a blind and terrified public to embrace any practice, however absurd or frivolous, which either folly or knavery recommends." Arthur Herman, August 04, 2008

NEW: August 2, 2008: Missing in his disgraceful smear - this new Protocols of the Elders of Carbon - is any discussion of the science, other than one highly misleading reference. It simply doesn’t occur to this Professor of Slime that the tens of thousands of sceptics, including some of the most highly qualified climate scientists and related experts, may in fact be influenced not by Big Oil cash but by stubborn evidence, such as the fact the world hasn’t warmed in a decade, contrary to what global warming theory said had to happen."
